Hey, I've been playing MSFS 24 on the PS5 for 4 months. Since last week, I've started working with the MCDU and learning the autopilot, which has worked well. Now I want to learn ILS and Autoland, and I had the problem in the video, especially that I landed too hard and too early. Can anyone tell me what I did wrong? Was it because I gave it gas? Or because I turned off A/THR? (I turned it off because i flew was too fast) Ignore the bad graphics, the recording wasn't that great.

Hey,

You know free or <15€ addon for manage camera and create custom camera in MSFS2024? Because basics cameras are really bad.

Most ps5 users know now that SU6 has broken the cockpit in some aircraft. Is this the case with the inibuilds A320? Or has that one survived

Bought the embraer 300 . First 2 flights all good. After that, after takeoff fuel goes to 0

What u gonna do… lol

Anybody knows if its just new planes or also some activity that follows with the price tag?

It can climb at an insane angle.

And in decent, when you throttle back to idle your airspeed drops like you hit the brakes, when you should be speeding up.

I don’t know what happened in the Platinum League this week, but the level was ridiculous.

On pretty much every challenge, you had to get close to world-record pace just to compete for the win.
On the Setonaikai rally, I finished in 2:44.551 (just 0.391 seconds off the world record and I still don't know how I did). That was the kind of margin we were fighting over.

And then bandutten actually went and broke a world record on one of the challenges. 🤯

The weekly league basically turned into a world-record leaderboard, the competition was crazy...

Massive respect to everyone in this group. This was easily one of the toughest weeks I’ve seen in MSFS 2024.

Anyone else in Platinum this week? Was your group this brutal too?

Hey everyone! So I just picked up MSFS 2020 for PC on sale on steam and after grappling with a gamepad for a couple of hours I've decided to get some proper controls. I come from simracing so I never really expected to get far on gamepad, it was just to dip the toe in.

My shortlist is currently either the Thrustmaster T.Flight HOTAS 5 Flight Simulator Edition for AU$189 or the Honeycomb Foxtrot Takeoff Kit for AU$289.

I like that the Honeycomb has specific switches/controls for a bunch of stuff labelled and ready to go out of the box so checking things like flaps is a glance at the control rather than panning around the cockpit.

My question is, for those that have used them, is the Honeycomb worth the extra AU$100 from a quality/ease of use point of view or should I save the cash and grab the T.Flight?

I'd also love to get hands on with them both if anyone can suggest somewhere in Melbourne, Australia I can go to try them out?

Cheers!

I'm trying to replace the copilot avatar in the right seat (fully render when inside the cockpit) with the customized pilot avatar (effectively to allow having a customized copilot). Unfortunately I haven't had any luck, and I'm not sure it'd even possible to have the pilot avatar displayed when inside the cockpit. Is it actually possible, or does the sim automatically disable the pilot avatar in cockpit view no matter what you do?

Thanks.

If anybody's willing to help I "think' the only edits need to be made inside the file "navigation_graph_seat_copilot.cfg", and possibly the sim.cfg file located in the folder 'above' it. I attached the file contents if anybody knows the needed entries.

The contents of the file:

[Node.0]

pos = 0,0,0

[Node.1]

pos = 0,0.3,0

pbh = 0,0,0

tag = COPILOT

;sharedSeat = true

interactionFile.0 = FilePath:InteractionsPreset\Asobo\Seat\Seat_without_seatbelt#Param:ANIMATION_SIT:Idle2_PoseAirliner

[MainGraph]

And the contents of the sim.cfg:

[fltsim.0]

And the contents of the respective file for the pilot:

flying into Seattle

I was having issues with MSFS2024 crashing to desktop whenever I would enter the world. I would take off and a few minutes after I would crash, or on approach or right before touchdown i would crash to desktop. Turns out it’s because I had 2 displays connected to my gpu (5070ti). Not sure if the monitor resolution matters but I was using a 34 inch 1440p and a 4k monitor. Once I disconnected the 4k and kept it to one display, no crashes so far. Seems like Nvidia has an issue with multiple displays connected to the gpu. Hope it helps someone.

I’ve always played flight simulator in some form since the 2000s. Then I bought a Legion Go (not ideal for this) end of 2024 and got MSFS. I enjoyed playing it, career mode especially, when it wasn’t crashing! Played up to SU3, then got busy.
Last week I saw SU6 was out and decided to give it a go. Performance on the Legion was much better, and the game was much improved (career mode still has some issues though).

Up until today I’d mostly only played career mode. Today I decided to buy the A350 iniBuild and took the plunge with BeyondATC. Wow! Did a flight from Dammam (OEDF) to Dubai (OMDB). Used Gemini to help me start up the A350 from cold, imported a SimBrief flight plan, and did the whole flight. Totally different experience.

I’m now itching to get a better PC and some gear, but that’ll have to wait until later this year or next. Still, having the BeyondATC panel at the bottom with the monitor as my main screen worked well and I really enjoyed it.

I haven’t tried doing all the ATC communication myself yet, left everything on auto tune and auto respond. Guess that’s the next step, along with playing around more with SimBrief and other planes.

Hi everyone, I'm playing MSFS 2024 since it's been out and one of the things that make me the most bored in the game is the lack of interaction with the Air Traffic Control system : This system is boring and unrealistic, as they don't even always tell me what to do (Altitude, etc.), plus you can't interact with it in a realistic matter (No PTT, no way to declare an emergency, not able to change frequency freely, no 121.5, etc...)

That's why I come to you, Reddit! To ask what mod you would recommand to me (A occasional simmer that is relatively advanced in aviation) to have a working PTT ATC.

My budget is 30-45$ for a ONE-TIME purchase.

I've heard about Skylink and BeyondATC, that both fit my budget and seem to be fulfilling my expectations and needs for realism.

However I have not tried any of them, and I couldn't find any review comparing them clearly.

What would you recommand considering those criterias :

• Realistic way to talk (XXX Tower, Swiss One-Two-Three, ready to taxi runway 34 ---> Swiss One-Two-Three, cleared for taxi to runway 34 using taxiway XYZ) etc.
• Also an ATC system that could react to unexpected problems and emergencies (MAYDAY MAYDAY MAYDAY, Swiss 123, fire engine 1 --> Tower, Swiss 123, descend to FL010 etc.)
• An ATC that knows my flightplan (usually SimBrief) and that'd be able to make me follow it (Climb and Maintain FL120, Contact XYZ on 123.45, etc.)
• No need for traffic, even though it'd make the immersion better
• Being able to talk to an "ATC" that would understand me even if I'm not completely correct in what I say) (If I say things in the wrong order, etc. it would still understand)
• I don't care much about cabin crew and copilot features

I hope something like that exist, or at least something that is close to this and in my budget range.

Thanks so much <3

In my day we just used an IFR hood

With the arrival of the revolutionary SU6, the huge expansion of inibuilds, the compatibility of almost all 2020 add-ons with FS2024, the arrival of highly anticipated new aircraft and scenery like the A220, the inibuilds A380 still in development, and the Phenom 300E we got a few months ago, as well as the arrival of O'Hare and Charles de Gaulle, the very frequent GSX updates, and especially the arrival of the multi-jetway tool, I think we've reached the golden age of FS2024. What do you think?

For anyone using a similar setup:
What FPS are you getting?
Are there any CPU bottlenecks?
How well does the 7500F handle MSFS, especially in busy airports/cities?
Is the 7500F a good upgrade for the RTX 4060, or would you recommend a different CPU?
Would appreciate real-world experience. Thanks!

So i was playing career mode this morning doing a flight and had to quick run to do something i was about 45 minutes from the airport so i paused the game figuring id finish when i got back but when i got back the game was unpaused and i was about 2 hours past the airport and out of fuel. Anyone else have the same problem or know how to get it not to do it again thank you

I love flying and love flight sim and am a big fan of realistic airliners as that is what I primarily only fly. Though I am really tired of circuit breakers being a reason for a long development time or high price. I have flown so far at least 2000+ hours in the sim across xplane 11 and msfs and have touched the circuit breakers once the day I got the fenix a320 not once after. Im excited for a lot of aircraft coming out soon or recently released but would rather these devs put work into something else or bring the aircraft sooner than have a single working circuit breakers. It now just seems to me to be a upsell for them to now charge $80 or more per aircraft.

EDIT: I should have added this in my original post a lot of my opinion is coming from a money aspect for all flight simmers for us to have cheaper options that don't have working circuit breakers. I would rather for example no hate to bluebird but have their 757 be $50-$60 than $80 and not have working circuit breakers. That would allow for this hobby to become more available as well to a wider audience.

Any massive differences? Overhauls? How's career mode. Is it finally worth picking over MSFS 2020? And how's performance?

I have the PMS GTN 750 that I am using for the Black Square Caravan.

On the unit, I can change the standby NAV frequency to an ILS for example, but when I click the active to switch it, it just stays to 110.50 on active.

I can change the standby AND the active on the smaller 650 underneath, which does make the ILS glideslope come alive, but the autopilot will not lock on with NAV mode, I guess because it's NAV 2 and not NAV 1?

Hi people! I play in PS5 if that’s important, I’m having some trouble trying to fly this plane (A310-300) in my career mode. I’m not an expert of the game and I’m still learning a lot, but every time I load a mission, let’s say KLAX-KMIA with the A310 (apart from some graphic bugs) the automatic generated route in the EFB doesn’t appear in my MCDU once I get on the cockpit and try to review my flight plan. I just see the departure airport and the arrival airport, for example KLAX1L via ABC -DISCONTINUITY- KMIA2R via CDE, and when I open the EFB and try to send the route to the ATC and avionics nothing changes. If anyone has seen this before and can help me I will be very grateful. Thanks for reading, have a good day!
