TIFU by trusting my "First Officer" with the walkaround 🤦‍♂️

TIFU by trusting my "First Officer" with the walkaround 🤦‍♂️

So there I was, a seasoned A350 Captain with over 1000 hours in the logbook (don't ask how many of those were spent on 4x sim rate)

We’re barreling down the runway, closing in on V1 when I notice something slightly concerning: my airspeed indicator is completely dead Zero. Zilch, But as a highly trained A350, I made the split second incredibly professional decision to... just keep the throttles at TOGA and yeet it into the sky anyway. Who needs actual numbers when you can fly on vibes, right?

Turns out my F/O completely half-assed the exterior walkaround the pitot cover were still on 😂

Surviving the Atlanta Inbound rush

just flew through the Atlanta traffic peak during the turnover session, and I have to say BeyondATC is exactly the addon I was missing.The new local offline voices are a total game-changer. The technology has advanced so much that you get realistic voices with zero cloud latency. It adds an incredible layer of immersion to the cockpit, especially during busy shifts like today.Sure, it’s still not perfect, but having instant high-quality ATC chatter running locally on my PC makes the whole experience so much better

IFLY 8MAX AIRAC NAVDATA

[Solution] thanks to u/lim623 u need just to regenerate the json file withe the tool on github [Solution]

Infinite loading screen in MSFS 2024 with iFly 737 MAX 8 after updating NavData
Ever since I manually updated the NavData / AIRAC cycle, the simulator gets stuck on the flight loading screen and never loads into the aircraft
before updating the navdata it was working
What I've tried / Setup context:

  • I tried deleting the old WASM folder in LocalState\WASM\MSFS2024\ to force a rebuild, but it still hangs on loading.
  • the plugin.exe and efb.exe are whitelisted in microsoft anitvirus

My modest home cockpit setup for MSFS on a budget

Hey everyone,

I wanted to share my first modest home cockpit setup for MSFS. I don't have a lot of money to invest in dedicated hardware so I decided to make use of what I had: a few old iPads lying around and my phone to remotely access the Fenix A320 MCDU

It’s simple, but it makes flying so much easier without having to constantly move the camera in-game to click on the MCDU or check the instruments.

What do you think? Any recommendations on what I should save up for next?

Happy flying! 🛫

Why doesn't MS/Asobo just acquire BeyondATC or SayIntentions and run it on Azure?

the default ATC in MSFS has been a mess for years. We’ve all been ordered to climb to FL390 five miles out from the runway or vectored straight into a mountain. It’s just broken.
On the flip side, third-party projects like BeyondATC and SayIntentions are showing what’s actually possible today with LLMs and voice synthesis.

Which makes me wonder... why doesn't Microsoft use their biggest advantage here? They own Azure. They already have world-class cloud infrastructure, AI tech, and the computing power to back it up. Instead of Asobo spending years trying to fix a core ATC system that’s clearly struggling, why not just buy one of these studios (or license their tech) and plug it directly into MSFS using an Azure backend?

What do you guys think? Is it purely a cost issue, or is Microsoft just not interested in touching default ATC again?

Imagine if we got a "Microsoft Combat Flight Simulator 2026." It would be insane

Just imagine having intense dogfights over the Alps or weaving through major cities with full photogrammetry. Throw in some invasion and bombardment scenarios and it would be absolutely sick. Do you guys think Asobo will ever make that leap? It would be some amazing competition for DCS
