Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020/2024)

Good afternoon. Sorry for for a very boring post. The new computer I bought for MSFS2020 seems to be arriving soon (after 3 months). I have an Steam version of the sim, so I guess the only thing I have to do is installing it anew. I remember I had to set up an Xbox account, but I don´t remember passwords or anything like that. Will I need them again or are they related to my Steam account? After so much waiting I hope I can start simming without many issues and that the new gear will improve the experience. Thank you very much for stopping by, I acknowledge this is not an interesting topic.

I have just published my review of Burning Blue Design's Farnborough - perfect for all of your London bizjet & airshow needs!

Hi guys, Got a question. First of all, i am leaving realism aside here as i am simply fiddling around to gain some info and experience in editing. Problem to be solved: I cant get the TBM to go faster than 320-325 KTAS at any altitude. It simply seems to be nailed to this speed. I have edited the density/torque table to give her some extra Torque high up but even if theres plenty of power, it stops at 325 KTAS. (Yes i have postet about this earlier but i am trying my luck again). The magenta speedtrend shows about +20 kts but goes to zero in the blink of an eye as soon as 325 (+-5) is reached. Does anybody have an idea if there is a way to set this (i …

Aerosoft has just released a new airport, a idyllic destination of Bali in Indonesia. A little price for a superb destination. https://www.aerosoft.com/en/flight-simulation/continents-sceneries/asia/3339/aerosoft-airport-bali?sPartner=vFp29pT7

One of the custom views in the 787 looks straight at the tablet. Does it actually do anything?

MARCH 18TH, 2021 DEVELOPMENT UPDATE Posted by: Microsoft Flight Simulator Team Screenshot by JF6420 This Tuesday, the long anticipated CRJ released to the Marketplace in partnership with Aerosoft. We want to thank the community for the continued feedback. We have altered our Feedback Snapshot slightly to account for a more transparent workflow and will continue to listen to our community and adjust accordingly. …

I feel like this is a very dumb question, but when I am browsing available products through the in-game marketplace, I can see the star rating but I can't find the actual reviews anywhere. What am I missing?

Hello i see in videos we can popup EICAS. How you do that ? Franck

Hello, I try to map speed/alt/vs increase and decrease knob using FSUIPC but it seems not working. Same for AP mode (speed,...) Do you have a solution or what i did i miss ? Thanks for answer Franck

It seems that MFS lacks a bit in the aerobraking dept. I don't know whether this is the correct word but I mean to put the stick back full aft to help the aircraft to slow after landing. Quite helpful on short runways and to spare the brakes. I cannot get that with the aircraft I currently fly (Xcub and Spit).

I use the Thrustmaster TCA quadrant, and essentially, via windows Game Controllers program, everything is calibrated. All TM drivers and firmware are installed, and its calibrated in XP11. But FS2020 thinks that physical idle on the throttle, is %50 input in-game, and physical full reverse is %0 input. Without a way to calibrate in game, for whatever reason, I'm pretty stuck. Thanks

I have discovered, since day 1 of release already, that changing COM 2 to COM1 (or vice versa) helped to put an end to a sudden drop in FPS. Has anyone else noticed this?

Hi guys, besides all the performance issues my biggest gripe w the sim is when flying airliners. Above 18000ft there is a major degredation of the ground textures. It turns off and on like clockwork above 18000 ft. The ground looks like an 8 bit tile literally. It looks terrible. LOD is set to 150 so its not that. I have a 5800x and 3080 FTW so , I should have enough horsepower. I noticed the video card memory load is very low only like 6GB/10GB. I know this sint xp11 but in xp11 with ZL16 orthos video card load was always near maxed out. Anyone else seeing this issue? For me it ruins it totally to fly high .

Hello, Folks! Is the any way to turn the second pilot avatar off? It is a bit frustration, when in the options menu you can choose between avatars, but you cannot turn them off... For example, I want to observe the flying pilot only from outside. And there are always two persons seating... Also, while on the ground I just want to enjoy the view of an empty airplane, but there are always two jerks sitting...

In case you hadn't noticed, the product page for the MSFS version of Air Hauler 2 is up and running at Just Flight and can be viewed here. It's not on sale yet (should be on sale in less than two weeks). Functionality and features-wise it is essentially the same as other versions of AH2 for P3D etc although it has the newer interface which shares a bit of a look with MSFS. There'll be a fairly decent discount available via a discount code on an email from Just Flight to owners of other versions of Air Hauler which knocks about a third off the price, making it about 21 quid to buy.

Anyone knows if the Bing Maps should have any update because as I noticed, it’s more than 7 years since been updated? Google Maps are already updated at list less than a year old.

Morning all! My latest review is now up:

I enabled the Developer black task bar and turned on the FPS monitoring overlay the other day. Got sick of looking at it today, so I turned it off. But when I turn off developer mode (to get rid of the black bar across the top of my screen), the FPS meter pops back on. Can't seem to get rid of both the Developer mode bar and the FPS meter. Anyone?

One nice feature with the stock aircraft is that when you make an IFR or GPS route on the World map it gets automatically imported into the selected aircraft. The Aerosoft CRJ doesn't have this feature. Are there any files that can be edited in the CRJ folder that would automatically load the MSFS IFR route into the CRJ FMS?? Don't want to have to spend as much time doing clerical data entry. Would rather spend my limited flight time in the air and not on the ground!!!

I installed MSFS2020 in September of 2020. The scenery was fine: landscapes were full of vegetation and skylines were recognizable. Recently, I had installed a few add on sceneries for airports. Suddenly, the scenery looked nothing like how it used to. The vegetation was low, city skylines are unrecognizable, and the buildings reminded me more of the older FSX than MSFS. I tried reinstalling, resetting the data, changing my graphics, but the scenery is STILL horrendous. The airports are completely unchanged, however. I think this must be from the addons, and most likely an issue somewhere within the files that may have been corrupted, but I can't be too sure.

Last fall I was lucky enough to get my hands on a 3090. But I'm still running a 9700k (8C/8T) processor. 32GB of RAM. PCIe 3 M.2 drive. I game at 4K and get around 30-45fps on a mix of high/ultra settings. Is there any other aspects I can upgrade that will help feed the 3090? Ideally, I'd like to be able to run a higher LOD setting (using the config file) but that causes stutters - especially when combined with a photogrammetry flyover. The recent Guru3D performance testing seems to indicate that almost nothing has much impact on performance other than the GPU but I'm wondering if anyone here has tried pushing the envelope. For example, I've seen a few pos…

Take a read : https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/intriguing-discovery-76t-bad-fps-areas-geometrically-linked-to-class-b-boundaries/382538/7 This is interesting read. Whenever your aircraft enter Class Bravo zone, the FPS drops....

I noticed yesterday there's a new installer available, and i seemed to notice a further improvement in the flight model, and sounds with the latest Dev version . climb rate seemed far more realistic compared to the rocketing climb rate with the default aircraft.Cockpit looks improved yet again, screens look fantastic. Thanks to all invlolved.

Normally I have PG off. But after World Update III and UK update I wanted to give it another try. To my surprise London city looks absolutely stunning during my short trip from Wycombe to London City airport. So I tried another flight in Vancouver area. Flying from Pitt Meadows towards Vancouver City was again a big disappointment. Vancouver City popped up relatively late and then again those pyramid or tent like buildings until I was pretty close. Too bad. Is it normal to see such big differences when it comes to photogrammetry?
