Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020/2024)

MSFS Official is live now on Twitch. Discussing update, etc.

- No leisure sailboat, motorboats in place where I know there are tens of them (Bay Area for instance) - no large boats (tankers, cruise ships) except few 3d models standing still on the water in some places (near the GGB for instance in SFO). I installed Henrik Nielsen's Global Traffic. Nada. Suez, Gibraltar empty . All my settings look OK. Has anybody the same problem, I cannot find any relevant thread ?

Okavango Delta for MSFS released Featuring: 9200 sq. km of scenery with hand-placed wetlands and objects More than 12000 animals spread around the area Nine custom airstrips Six camps modelled in very high detail with building interiors: Abu, Nxabega, Xigera, Chief’s camp, Mombo, Guma Many smaller camps and tour groups Multiple helipads scattered around the delta A repaint of the C208 in the imaginary “Safari Wings” livery Two bush trips to fly around the delta.

H! Clever simmers I downloaded the App LUKEAIR TOOL it says a lot of interesting things about it but but unfortunately it has no instructions of any kind about how to install it or how to use it. I wonder if anybody can give some idea about using this. There may be some clever folks out there. Regards.

I've been struggling with the sensitivity settings for the rudder and I am getting frustrated because it's way too twitchy. Any help would be most appreciated. Thanks

Twice in four days. I wonder what kind of game Microsoft MFS team plays here with its customers. They try to lower the load of their servers by pushing people away from the product 😄 ? No acknowledgement of the bug, a fortiori no apologizing, no remedy, no nothing ! Radio silence from the community manager. Do we get that until they release their WU4 which could be anytime in the future ? So we can get swap the bug for another one ?

...took it for a spin around the patch at KSAN, and boy-howdy, she looks, soars, and sounds so good, I forget all about the MSFS' growing pains. 🙂 https://secure.simmarket.com/indiafoxtecho-mb-339-msfs.phtml

Don't want to start unverified rumours but... I went to Sim Market today to download the latest update to the MB339. While there I got a Microsoft Edge warning that passwords and usernames on this site [simmarket.com] have been hacked and leaked and that my password and username are among those on lists shared on the internet. I have changed my password. If you have ever bought on Sim Market, maybe you should too..... Way to go Sim Market! 😞

Looks like the announced availability of the FBW A32NX in the MSFS Marketplace is getting closer. After my daily incremental update via the FBW installer I noticed that there is now a sub-directory called MarketplaceData - interesting!

There's tools such as onlineflightplanner and simbrief which work out waypoints between destination and arrival airports. These two don't work out your SID then STAR. So I'm left going to something like ChartFox to figure out my STAR then Approach. It's okay but not every airport is there and it's realy headache to switch between all the charts to find what I need. Is there a free tool out there that can help with this? https://chartfox.org/ http://onlineflightplanner.org/ https://www.simbrief.com/

I just want to say that the installation mechanism is PREPOSTEROUS for this sim. Never in my life have I seen a more convoluted mess with the folder structures and the security permissions that Asobo uses to install this thing. Want to install to a specific folder on a different drive? Forget it, it installs to those ridiculous WindowsApps and WPSystem folders and creates links to different folders somewhere else. Want to copy and make backups of those folders? Forget it. The security they put on these folders is like nothing I've ever seen. Take ownership and full control yet there is still no way to copy the folders off to a different drive. I lost my mian C drive and h…

I had to reinstall my PC and after reinstalling the sim I am getting a CTD when I try to load any saved flight now. It has been a while since I tried to load a saved flight so there's a good possibility it has been doing this since one of the updates in the past few months and I just didn't know about it. Is anyone else getting CTD when loading saved flights? I also got one CTD when exiting to main menu from a flight and haven't seen one of those before. I have not spent a lot of time in this sim in months so don't know what they have managed to screw up since then and wanted to see if you guys are seeing this or not?

Hi: I am running MSFS 2020 current version on Steam and the sim has been working good all this time. The last 2 days when I run MSFS 2020 in steam and go to the welcome page in the sim the Marketplace tab does no show the blur line below it which shows it is accessible When I load a flight plan and start the sim the live weather defaults to clear sky's and 29.92 bar setting. I cannot get it to load any live weather at all.. If I click it nothing happens at all. Also all my high res scenery does not load and I can only use the low res scenery. I checked all settings under accessories and it all set to run using Bing maps and photography. The flight sim always worked great …

Am I crazy? Have I not found it? The most complicated finicky piece of equipment in the sim, and I have to pause my track IR and use the twitchy mouse countrol? Please tell me that there is another way and I'm just blind

Here is the Belle-Ile aerodrome created by Yves Pébayle. Belle-Ile aerodrome is an aerodrome open to public air traffic, located in the town of Bangor, 4 km south-south-west of the Palais in Morbihan. It is used for the practice of leisure and tourism activities (light aviation). https://www.simvol.org/en/downloads/airports/belle-ile

I decided to use the Aerosoft CRJ500/700 for my transition from GA to airliners. With everything being new to me, I am having a hard time following my flight plan because, as soon as I take off, the line on the MFD that represents the leg disappears - and I never get it back. Could this be a bug? Or is it something I missing in the initialization of the airplane? Thanks!

I am looking for a guide/checklist for what needs to be entered into the FMS system in order to fly with ILS and Vnav. I have watched the training videos and know there are quite a few entries to make it all work. I have also read the User guide but still not getting it. I tried a flight yesterday and while I got to the arrival airport Vnav didn't work and ILS was way off. If needed I am going to go back to the videos and make my own, but figured there is no use reinventing the wheel if there is already something available. I think my ILS problem might have been I didn't manually enter the ILS frequency into the FMS, but not sure about that. Trying to learn this stuf…

Am I correct in believing that if I bring in the FP using the Simbrief functionality, the FS ATC has no idea what I'm doing? I'm not getting the altitudes. Am I missing something here?

Does anyone has the same issue when setting the drone speed to the maximum with an assigned joystick button, that you can't reverse the speed back with the button, before adjusting it manually with mouse by going to the camera menu? Is there a fix for this issue?

I want to transfer a flight plan from simbrief to CRJ-700. Where is the folder located for steam version ?Also used to start ready to fly, now dark & cold, how can I get back? Thanks for any help

What is the best way to show the AVG TAS Speed for a flight on Simbrief? I always look at the en route TAS and try to calc an average. However, I am looking for an more efficient way. I need the value for the VATSIM flightplan.

Hi, does anyone can check if he's a fps drop over the waypoint AVOMO at FL340 with the A320NX Experimental Version? For some a reason I have before and after that WYP fps around 5-7 that messes my flight up.

Is it possible to add the G3000 in other planes, like in the Beechcraft? When flying on vatsim and I have to make route changes or to insert stars etc, i find it very stressfull to handle with other gps than the G3000.

Is there any app (free or payware) that I can use to search and lookup the live weather stations within the sim? I know there are apps that inject their own live weather and allow you to search and even filter for certain weather conditions, BUT, I'm interested in being able to do this for the default live weather.

Currently the Community folder is within MSFSPackages Folder. I have the boxed version of MSFS and there was no choice to install the dvd content elsewhere. I am sure all of us can see that there is a downside to the Community folder, in that everything made by others is placed there, thus the folder has many items in it. Overtime it will become unmanageable, as there is nothing to separate liveries, airplanes, airports, fixes and uncle tom cobley and all! Is it possible to say take the Community Folder out of that directory tree, in C drive and place it in D drive, where all my MSFS on-line content was installed? The other reason is that there is much more disc…
