r/MSFS2024

Hi,

I didn’t know where I should ask about this so I figured out that this will be the best place. Since 2022 I’ve used msfs 2020 and I have a lot of addons for it. Then I bought xplane 12 and switched between sims until I completely switched to xplane 12 in december 2025. I have a lot of addons for xplane 12 and it looks pretty good but there are a lot of things that are lacking. Recently I’ve started thinking about buying msfs 2024 and but I don’t know if it’s worth it. The most important things for me are if there are a lot of bugs like they say and will most of my addons from msfs 2020 work in 2024. Thanks

Lately my game has been either crashing, or the avionics are disabled randomly, usually happens on airliners/bigger planes. The game says that the memory is full and disables avionics, I've been unable to do a flight, sometimes I can't even taxi and it happens.

I downloaded the beta and I've done a few flights and it only happened once, but as soon as I landed my 747 the game crashed.

Is there any fix for this?

Hello everyone,

I’m experiencing some issues in MSFS 2024 right now (I hadn’t played for a while before this).

For some reason, after around 30–40 minutes of gameplay, I get the error message “DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG”, which basically results in a CTD (crash to desktop).

In the MSFS crash report, there is also a mention saying “GPU Device Removed”. I’ve seen online that it could be related to the power supply. However, I ran both 3DMark and OCCT without finding any issues with the GPU. I did stress tests and longer 45-minute tests with the GPU constantly at 100% usage, and everything was stable. I also ran a VRAM stress test using all 16 GB, and there were no errors either.

I’d say I’m pretty comfortable with tech stuff, and I’ve already tried a lot of things before asking for help. I went through many Reddit posts, Avsim threads, and other forums, but none of the suggested fixes worked.

My specs are:

• AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D
• RTX 5070 Ti
• Windows 11
• 750W power supply

What I’ve tried so far:

• Reinstalled Windows from scratch with only the latest Nvidia drivers and a completely addon-free sim → same result
• Installed older Nvidia drivers using DDU in Windows 11 Safe Mode → same result
• Added TdrLevel and TdrDelay in Regedit (Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\GraphicsDrivers) → didn’t work
• Tried the “Optimize” feature in the Nvidia app → same result
• Disabled Frame Generation → same result

This issue only happens with MSFS 2024. Every other game runs perfectly fine: no freezes, no crashes, nothing.

At this point, I’m honestly out of ideas and losing hope of being able to play my favorite game again.

If anyone has any suggestions, I’d really appreciate it.

EDIT : De-Activate XMP profile AM4 platform. You can try a lower XMP settings if you have time to spare...

First flight stalled and crashed using FLC. Lesson learned just use VS. FLC - engine was at max non redline torque, flaps up. I didn’t see any setting for FLC speed. Plane just pitched at 25% and stalled

Second flight VNAV descent kicks in and spikes over speed 170 kts for less than 10 seconds…crash

Third flight, landed this one after at least an hour. Getting the finicky hold short experience so I turn the caravan back toward the line. There is a vehicle there but every other time I can just taxi through it. Nope not this time, crash

Fourth flight taxiing to end of run way. Brake and slow to 1-2 kts turn, plane keels over…crash. Is the taxi speed accurate?

Might as well go back to VIP private, not this much hassle

Hi guys, I have a few spare bucks and I'd like to fly! I see a lot of bad reviews for the 2024 MSFS, but graphics are important to me... should I still consider 2024 or is the game really crashing that much?

Thank you

hello

I'm having a problem with the A350-1000 in business class. Regardless of the airline, even the default livery is affected. Two rows remain gray and don't display the texture.

I've removed the WASM files and reinstalled the aircraft, but it hasn't fixed the problem. The A350-900 doesn't have this issue. The problem persists, even after reinstalling Windows and the simulator.

Hello, I was just flying an Airbus A320 and when I took off, I retracted the landing gear and flaps and and few moments later, the nose of the plane lifts independently. Is there an option that causes this? If yes, where can I find it? I would like to control the altitude normally by myself. I'm playing by Xbox controller on Series X.

I’m seriously considering finally ditching Windows and making the jump to Nobara, but there's one massive roadblock holding me back: VR flight simming. I spend a lot of my gaming time in MSFS 2020 and the new 2024, and losing VR is basically a dealbreaker for me.
Before I wipe my main drive or mess around with dual-booting, I wanted to get a reality check on the current state of things. Here’s the hardware I’m working with:
• CPU: Ryzen 7 5800X3D
• GPU: RTX 4090
• RAM: 64GB
• Headset: Meta Quest 3
I know Linux VR has come a long way recently with stuff like WiVRn and the updated Steam Link, but I’m a bit worried about the Nvidia driver side of things combined with wireless streaming to a Quest 3—especially for something as ridiculously heavy as MSFS.
For anyone who actually flies on Linux right now:
How is MSFS 2024 holding up in VR under Proton? Does it still suffer from instant CTDs when toggling the VR space, or have recent Proton-GE/Wine patches smoothed things out? Also, how is the performance/reprojection feeling compared to the older MSFS 2020?
Would love to hear some real-world experiences from anyone running a high-end Nvidia setup on Nobara. Is it actually stable enough for longer flights, or am I just asking for a massive headache if I switch right now?
Thanks!

Hi guys. I’m new to MSFS and I’ve recently bought the tflight hotas 4 for my PlayStation. I’m struggling with key bindings and I’m having to go to my controller for simple things like releasing the brakes. Does anyone have any tips for key bindings for the joystick?

Usually when I set a destination and arrival, choose a plane (either order) and start my flight, I spawn in with the aircraft ready to go and on the runway. Wanting to get better at the technical parts of this game, where in settings or anywhere else would I change this to start from say before the taxiway and to include the startup process?

Hi.

I’m playing using the HOTAS and PSVR2. Every time I launch a flight, it isn’t in VR mode. Everything I can find online suggests pressing L1, R1 and options but this isn’t working. I have the physical game.

How can I activate VR mode?

No idea what’s the right way to load passengers in career missions. In all my successful missions, passengers were loaded somehow automatically. If passengers didn’t appear in planes, I use the tablet and go to Payload And Fuel—>configure, add numbers in seats, then click load immediately. It shows loadings successfully. Sometimes no passenger appears. Even if there is a person sitting in copilot seat, mission still fails because of no passenger when I try to take off. Really frustrating😰. I play on ps5 and psvr2. Anyone knows how to do this. Please help. Thanks

There are improvements coming. Beta Testing is available now
