Jerrivel over the the Just Flight forum is previewing a possible aspen avionics integration for the Black Square and A2A planes. If you like that too please chime in an let nick know that we would love to see this integrated into his planes with full system support.
Hi Folks. I used to enjoy MSFS 2020, but have not used it in a few years. I recently got a new gaming rig and decided to get back into Flight Sim. I'm wondering if anyone has any advice for me? My old "cockpit" consisted of a Honeycomb yoke, and Logitech rudder pedals, throttles, switch panels, radios, multi panel and 4 instrument panels. I also had a screen and an old Android tablet that used Air Manager to display gauges. I used SPAD.next to configure the devices and it was a lot of work to set it up. I don't even remember all that I did. Above is a pic of it gathering dust. I also had the head tracking thing (TrackIR 5) and the sensor on my headset which I used to move the view on the screens.
So... Now I have a new PC (5090, 9800X3D, 64GB) and I like to get back into flight sim. I basically am an aspiring GA pilot and tend to just use MSFS to free fly to places and pretend that I am a real GA pilot. I usually only fly Cessna's 172's and 182's. I might fly other planes, but I not really interested in flying big commercial jets (at the moment).
Also, I now have a MetaQuest 3 VR headset (which I didn't have before), which I guess I can use as well.
Is the process to get all this stuff to work with 2024, roughly the same as 2020, or is it harder (or hopefully) easier. I just remember it being hard and a lot of work to get everything to work correctly and really was a lot of trial and error. Unfortunately, I didn't take notes.
What was your experience going to 2024 and getting everything working.... or did you just ditch it all and go VR?
It's the only PC I have for gaming, and I'd like to know if I can get good performance out of it or if it's just a waste of money.
Hi everyone,
I started playing MSFS 2024 on PS5 about 3 months ago.
I really enjoy doing helicopter missions in Career Mode. My favorite missions are Search & Rescue, especially the hoist missions.
However, I have a problem with some of these missions. When I reach the person who needs to be rescued, the helicopter sometimes will not descend. I cannot get into the position needed to start the hoist.
I read that this may be a common bug. I also found advice to land somewhere nearby and then get out and walk to the person. Apparently, the checkpoint should count as completed this way.
I have tried this, but I still cannot complete the mission.
Are other people having the same problem? Is there a reliable way to fix or work around this bug?
I am playing on PS5, if that makes a difference.
Thanks!
Anyone want to do a geoup flight for 7 hrs cause we unemployed?
I'd love to know how to use the glass avionics better. But there are also things like flaps and why my throttle gets cut when I'm higher altitude, just to go the same, maybe even slower speed than being at a lower altitude.
Climbed to 24,000alt, just to only go 180~. I've got full flaps, fuel, and cargo. I can barely take off, stalling slightly. Can't gain any speed unless I get rid of flaps but almost crash in the process of turning flaps 1 notch.
Hi everybody, so I’ve been playing this game for years and I have hundreds of hours on the game but just about two weeks ago I would press fly now and I would just sit there for hours at a time and I would not load in the airport so I contact Microsoft. They gave me all these different things. I told them tons of times that none of that’s working and then they just stopped helping me so now I have tried to delete the game and reinstall it and I’m stuck at 97% so I deleted it again and reinstalled it and now I’m still at 97% is there any reason why I sit at 97% for hours and hours?
What is that light on the wings and why is it shinning in the windows? Also the beacon light is causing stutters. I remember someone posting about this before but I can't find the post to see if there's fix to this.
Demain il y aura une éclipse solaire totale sur le nord de l'Espagne. Son maximum est prévu à 20h30.
Je viens de rentrer cette date et cet horaire en décollant de Pampeluna.
Et ?
L'éclipse a bien lieu dans le jeu !
Has anyone written a "start flight sim" script that opens MSFS as well as any additional programs you like to run at the same time such as:
BeyondATC
TouchdownFX
SimHaptic
Simbrief
AutoFPS
It'd be really cool to just press one icon to start all these apps at once
I've been flying around Papa New Guinea with the black square Caravan and gotta say that it's got an amazing set of challenges and beautiful scenery for bush flying. Now i wanna do it with some people in multiplayer. Maybe some formation flights, Cargo runs to remote villages, slow and low flying etc. I'm also down to do it anywhere else too. Not just PNG, it's just that it has an amazing set of bush strips to land on.
I bought the turtle beach velocity one yoke and had axis issue and i need recommendations for another one known to be reliable and worth buying for a budget of $450
Playing the career mode in FS2024. Got my first business and Cargo Cessna 172.
I don't understand the Seasonal Density Zones. Trying to google and it seems they're not accurate? How do I know what season it is, in game?
I want to get a bigger cargo plane. I want to do longer flights. I'm not sure of the best way to do this.
My plane is currently in Texas. I can transport it to Japan or Germany. Where there are a couple six figure flights. But it cost 80-100k to get my plane over there. Not sure if there will be more flights after those couple.
The next used cargo plane seems to be 3 million... A used Cessna Grand Caravan.
Why the fucking hell does one LVFR plane (say A319) have like 9 different types when you purchase it? There’s so many, it makes your mind boggle
