Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020/2024)

I was suffering from terrible pauses and stutters south of KSEA/KRNT (like full-blown 1 second pauses that made me ready to switch to any other hobby) until I figured out how to lock FPS at 30 in the Radeon software thingy under a setting “limit FPS to X to save power” or similar (sorry I’m new to AMD cards but remember my Nvidia 1070 allowed similar locking). Strangely my card temp and junction temp are WAY down but the fluidity/lack of stutters is amazing while the graphics settings stayed the same not only in MSFS but also on my XP11 install with True Earth scenery. No idea why other than a locked 30 FPS allows more time for the CPU and GPU to render each fra…

Can someone help me with doing something to my setup in order to avoid the loss of control when landing. Never had this problem with previous flight sim software (P3D & FSX etc), yet still have the same hardware, Logitech Extreme 3D Pro Joystick and Thrustmaster pedals, whilst using MSFS2020. If I am on an ILS approach, the aircraft remains steady until touchdown when it requires alot of effort to stay on or close to the the runway. Without an ILS, the aircraft becomes uncontrollable on approach maybe 2-5 miles from touchdown. I tend to use the A320 in MSFS2020, the Flybywire version, although I have tried the Microsoft version, also the A330 and…

Just saw this on Twitter:

Hi, I am very new to FS2020 but lots of experience in Previous versions about to 2002, and some in FS9 and FSX. In FSX I had it set up so when it launched it would load a saved flight with me in my favourite airplane on the runway ready to go without having to click through menus. It is also set so that is FSX detects a crash it resets you back to the start of the flight. I've also set it up in the past so that it starts in mid air on approach to practice landings. Same idea just in the air rather than on the runway. Is there any way to do this in FS2020 either by default or with third party applications?

Hi All I understand the lack of live traffic due to the you know what , But at the moment in MSFS, Its rare to see any traffic and if you do, Its all that default liveries, Greens, Yellows and oranges. and the planes can disappear on landing.. I think i was spoilt rotton with ultimate Traffic live with the sky full of planes and airports to, Whats the changes of any Traffic software coming soon with proper airline liveries. UT2 Live made FSX, Now its boring on long flights seeing no other airlines at 30 odd thousand feet. On another note, Is MSFS going to give you a option on seeing other aircraft like we had in FSX that was in the menu.

Hello everyone. I'm quite intrigued by the idea of joining a virtual airline to further my sim experience. I've read a lot of good things about Walker Air, and I think I'm going to apply to become a pilot for them. I just have a few questions I'm having a hard time finding answers to, so hopefully someone can clear things up a bit for me. 1. Do I need to fly using Live Weather and time? 2. Weather permitting, can I fly VFR? ( I plan on flying exclusively GA....Arrow, Mooney, Bonanza, 172, etc...) 3. When flying IFR, is my FP generated for me or can I make my own? 5. What is the purpose of my "hub"? Will I be operating primarily out of whichever one …

Hi all I bought the Just Flight PA 28 last night and love it so far. I found the document folder and tried to copy it so I can view the manual on my laptop whilst flying. However, Windows will not let me copy any files from the community folder (even though I am the sole person who uses the PC and the administrator) Is there a way I can do this. Thanks in advance if you can help. Best wishes Bob

So I’m new to RNAV and have finally nailed my first few full routes. question though, I’ve seen this done on videos at different times. When do you active APPR button? Before STAR before final Approach or when? Also does LOC and EXPED play are part in this or when are they used?

I am that dummy. I have tested this over and over many times yesterday and today. ookla Speedtest: Situation 1) speeds were 7 to 13 Mbps. Situation 2) was 72 to 83 Mbps. Flipping back and forth from situation 1) to 2) made an instantaneous and drastic change every single time. But I doubt it will help most people, it just happened to apply to my situation. I was never getting my paid for speeds by my service provider (Comcast). I tried some things like this which seldom helps and it did not help me. Liron Segov is a very good source for dummys like me, and this video is the truth, but unfortunately almost all internet installations already have the mtu=1500 sett…

Hey back after a month or so in real world, did latest update but noticed all golf courses stadiums arenas, ect.... are missing and the msfs world has changed. Did updates cause this much mayheim??? thanks great to be back Steve

This is exactly what i want to see in MSFS but not only that. Gentlemen developers is it possible to see new things in MSFS? New generation software, for example.I want modernity! Now is the time to show us your creativity! The video only shows a small example of what all future MSFS software should look like. Bravo FSLabs!

With so many air race scenery mods we finally have a good rendition of the location of the Reno Air Races. This goes great with the Spitfire and Corsair releases. Reno Stead Airport (KRTS) - Reno Air Races • Microsoft Flight Simulator

My review of Pyreegue Dev Co's Lviv airport. TL;DW: very good!

Just got FS2020 running. I am running an I9-9900K/2080TI on a 65" Samsung q7 (hdr tv). Out of the box, I set everything to 4K,Ultra, and HDR. Vsynch off. and tried a few landing challenges. Seeing this on a modern HDR 4K TV is photo-real. I was getting FPS ranging from 35 to 50. However I noticed massive FRAME pacing stutter.. where frame to frame could change so drastically it would make it look jerky. It would be smooth for a few seconds, hit a drop in FPS and that drop would cause a jarring stutter. So, I set FS 2020 graphics to Vsynch on, and 30 FPS limit. I then turned on my Samsung TV (motion smoothing) which interpolates 30fps to 12…

can't wait,..... I have tried and tried but to many errors so hoping for this: AIG AI Manager OCI for MSFS – Development Announcement - Third Party Addon Discussion / Tools & Utilities - Microsoft Flight Simulator Forums

It is curious. When I switch off and then on my headset for any reason during an ingame session,most of the time the sim freezes for a good half a minute. Not a big nuisance but if it happens to you, be patient, the sim has not crashed.

...is when you start getting wacky altitudes: descend and maintain 8000 feet, then: climb to 9000 feet. You know that you'll end up on the side of a mountain, so it's time to cancel IFR, bring out the trusty approach charts, and fly the procedure yourself, using default ATC for a bit of aural immersion. Helps to avoid a 3 hour flight going paws up.

After completing Gatwick EGKK, mkvy is now turning his wonderfully talented skills to modelling Shoreham Airport. Keep an eye on progress here as it's bound to be good; https://flightsim.to/file/11778/brighton-city-airport-shoreham-egka

My updated sim is still not as good as it was before the last update, but I just flew the Cj4 from St Louis to Chicago Midway. I have to say that even with its flaws, it is still a huge milestone above FSX. 30 miles out of Midway you could clearly see the Great Lake curve and on final, the 25+ knot bumpy headwind required great attention to airspeed and attitude. Sure, its still got lots of problems, but I find the whole thing far more immersive than anything I've flown before. Other than the stutters which still show up, my biggest gripe is the ground colors. In some areas like the southwest, they're not bad, but in general the terrain is just much too green an…

I just finally installed WU3, set up a nice sight seeing route from Liverpool to an airport in northern Scotland w/ about 5 added waypoints of interest. Though the FP displays correctly in the MFD>Plan section the red route line is missing. I had rebooted after the update, and after this issue tried a flight in the USA and no problems there with the red route showing up. Anyone else had this issue? Thanks!

Happy Easter all. Just updated to the new fbw320 developer mod. Only problem I am having is with my rudder pedals. On the ground the rudder moves as it should but the nose wheel stays straight. Am I missing something with this new update? Thanks DON

Hi. I can’t find the Piper Arrow 3 in the market, in the sim. Am I missing something? Thanks.
