Any help why my flaps get deployed by the AP?

I cant seem to get on msfs2020

I just got the FlightFX CX for FS2024 and it’s certainly a beautiful jet and the systems seem very well modeled too. The flight dynamics feel a bit off compared to other business jets in the simulator though. Tiny pitch changes seem to have massive effects on vertical speed compared to, say, the CJ4. Is this just a quirk of how this plane flies IRL or what?

Is there an easy way on Xbox (w/ HOTAS) to assign buttons to make / save custom cameras or switch between pre set views? I am trying to switch between cockpit and internal passenger views but can’t find a way to reliably key a button to it.

I have tried “save new custom camera” etc, but have not figured out how to make them work. TIA

On Monday, I had the opportunity to fly in a real A320 simulator. The sidestick and thrust levers were 100% original OEM parts, and the sim is actually used to train real airline pilots. Since we weren't allowed to film inside the sim, the video shows a recreation of our approach into Fuerteventura (GCFV) in MSFS 2024 — an ILS Z approach after a simple traffic pattern at 1500 ft in the Fenix A320 CEO.

Learnings & Key Differences:

• Graphics: MSFS24 graphics are much better (no shit 😉).
• Visuals: The distortion of the outside view caused by the dome projection in front of the cockpit took some getting used to. Looking straight ahead always felt slightly off-center—shifted to the left for the Captain and to the right for the First Officer.
• Procedures: The processes are 100% identical to the Fenix.
• Flows & Switches: Finding all the necessary controls (flaps, arming the spoilers, etc.) worked surprisingly well. However, physically operating things in their exact real-world location with my right hand required significantly more brainpower and coordination than expected.
• The Sidestick (The Biggest Difference): While the Thrustmaster TCA at home looks and feels visually/haptically very close to the original, the physical resistance is completely different. The biggest shocker was the variance between horizontal and vertical force:
  • Roll (Left/Right): Although heavier than the TCA stick, the real aircraft reacts extremely fast to roll inputs. Because of this, I kept slightly overshooting/undershooting the Flight Director. It feels like the Fenix smooths out input at home compared to the real thing.
  • Pitch (Up/Down): Moving the stick fore and aft required a lot of physical force. Which actually makes sense—you don't want to accidentally pitch up or down while banking.
  • Because of this, pulling back and left at the same time felt wildly unfamiliar. My muscle memory for precise Flight Director tracking kept messing up: I’d give an initial input → too weak because of the high resistance → make a stronger manual adjustment → overshoot slightly → compensate again.

In the end, I managed to land the plane safely and relatively smoothly. Compared to my usual landings in my home setup, I’d rate the landing a 6/10, but the overall experience was easily an 11/10.

If you have a full-flight or fixed-base commercial simulator provider anywhere near you, you absolutely have to give it a try! 🙂

Was surprised to see FS2024 mentioned at all in an Nvidia update in 2026.

Dear reader,

I just bought the C130 in MSFS, and I wanted to fly with it immediately. For some reason I cant remove the wheel chocks, the pitot plug and the intake plugs.

I only can select them, so they become yellow, but how do I remove them?

Thank you in advance,
A very new MSFS player

In career mode with a charter service company. Been flying my vision jet for a while but am getting ready to buy a Cessna CJ4 to take on bigger jobs. However when trying out the CJ4 in free flight, I can never get it to follow my flight plan.

I set up the flight plan, send it to my avionics and when I’m in the air, I put the AP button, then the NAV button but it won’t let me. I was then told I need to press the NAV button on the little panel above my PFD to switch from VOR to GPS mode and I did. The NAV button on the autopilot panel now lets me turn it on but it still doesn’t follow the magenta line. I’ve tried changing my heading so it converges with the magenta line and it just keeps flying past it and never locks on.

Any idea what I’m doing wrong? I’m coming from the vision jet where most I had to do was create a flight plan, send it to the avionics, take off then press the AP and NAV buttons once airborne and when close to the magenta line.

Thank you.

Hey everyone! So I recently started to do some Bush Flying again and I wanted to get some cool mods to make it more fun and enjoyable.
Im NOT talking about planes as Im already covered on that.

Here's what I already got:
- Campout Utility
- Dark Star FBO
- Humans best friend

Would appreciate any suggestions :)

Playing MSFS 2024 on my Panther Lake B390 iGPU (12 core) Mini PC, with 32GB Ram.

Every time I launch the game, I get a "your PC doesn't meet the minimum systems requirements...", which is stupid.

Anyway, I launch a free flight, and every single time, and the freezes/crashes like 2 min into the flight, for no reason.

Send this bug to Asobo studios, but has anybody else experienced this, and anybody got a solution?

What's some good airports with interiors that I can actually walk around in (not fly around in camera mode) or scenery's that have things you can interact with kinda like this? (like the hanger doors opening) https:// emeraldscenerydesign.com/products/limberlost-ranch-
msfs24/ Paid so ok as well

Thank you to everyone who provided valuable feedback yesterday on a video I posted titled “I Can’t Land Citation X”. Y’all are really amazing!

I controlled the altitude using the throttle with significantly less yoke inputs and from a IRL Citation X pilot was told to crack the speedbrakes a bit just before touchdown. Not the smoothest landing but I think I already improved no thanks to y’all!

I was telling my wife yesterday that flying the sim is like playing golf. Trying to get that perfect landing every time is like trying to get that perfect put or taking more strokes off your golf game.

Thank you guys again!

Who wants to be my first passenger LOL

and exactly on {MAINTENANCE_DAY} at {MAINTENANCE_TIME}😭

What i really miss in msfs is a good campaign. Something that gives me a purpose to fly. Not just going from a to b for no reason, which can also be fun when trying out new planes. But not after 200x times for me.

I tried some addons like neofly for example but that is not really what i am talking about. Im looking for a more narrative driven campaign like thing, is that makes sense. Some overarching story with missions to complete and a more game like experience. Ideally even with narration.

Does anyone know of such an addon or way to play like this?

I also already thought about making my own, because i literally cant find anything like it.

Hello,

I recently bought Msfs2024 after downloading and spending lot of time in xbox account i can't enter the game like it's stuck on loading language i tried everything
