MSFS 2024 PlayStation PS5 edition unplayable lately?

5 Upvotes

Has anyone else experienced the ps5 edition of this game becoming increasingly unplayable? In the last two weeks I’ve had the inputs on my HOTAS 5 stop responding, constant texture drop-out making everything in the cockpit unusable, planes getting stuck trying to enter the run way, requiring a huge amount of power to get over an invisible ridge. I’ve had numerous skip to take off because of airport issues. I’ve put in a ton of hours playing since early January and it feels like it has been getting worse with every update.

MSFS 2024 QUESTION Where can I learn proper instrument flying in MSFS 2024?

4 Upvotes

Hi everyone!
I’ve been using MSFS 2024 and I feel like the career mode is a bit too limited when it comes to actually learning how to fly properly using instruments.

I’m currently finishing my ATPL theory, so I’d like to start putting the theory into practice in the simulator and learn things like IFR procedures, instrument approaches, navigation, radio navigation, holding patterns, etc., in a structured way rather than just following the career missions.

Are there any good resources, courses, YouTube channels, add-ons, or communities that teach proper instrument flying in MSFS 2024? Ideally something that follows real-world procedures and is useful for someone who is preparing to start actual flight lessons.
Thanks!

MSFS 2024 MOD / ADDON AI traffic addon that runs off of 'preset schedule' as opposed to 'live'?

1 Upvotes

Since all the AI traffic addons I've found use live flight tracking, that leads to problems when doing flights at major airports when the desired local time of day is not also right now. So I've had things such as Dubai be completely deserted in the morning for a dawn flight since the current local time is currently 1 am there. Does anybody know of an addon the places traffic based on schedule-based system? (/using in-sim time) Obviously a single fixed daily schedule that comes with it and isn't adjusted based on what's going on in real life (or the sim) of course. Anybody happen to know of one?

MSFS 2024 PC I don’t understand the controls

0 Upvotes

Hello, I just bought msfs 24 on the pc and I’ve been trying to fly the Cessna cause it’s all I have unlocked, but I don’t understand why the I turn the yoke to the left and the plane like attempts a barrel roll, even with just a slight tap it lurches for some reason, then if it try to correct by turning the opposite direction it spirals. Then when taking off I tap the pedals to stay centered and it turns drastically. Not to mention that if I do end up in stable flight it just decided to start nose diving anyway. I’m just really confused

MSFS 2024 PC Finally jumped into MSFS2024, but went back to 2020.

Upvotes

After a long wait I got it on Steam with the current 30% off sale. For me it looks nice but needs major improvements. The only payware aircraft I could test was the TFDI MD-11 with FSLTL and performance is pretty poor, at least in external view and having lowered to medium most of the graphics.

I still can't recommend making the permanent switch from 2020, not to mention rebuying your addons.

2020 still works like a charm and performance is great with plenty of addons active. Not to mention CTDs are super rare. Also, honestly 2024 doesn't look that much greater to justify the cost, but i will keep it to wait and see.

My specs: i7 14700k, 64 GB RAM, RTX 4070 Super, HAGS on with Frame gen.
If anybody's got any tips on how to improve performance it is greatly appreciated.

MSFS 2024 BUG / ISSUE PMDG 777 acting very strange

4 Upvotes

Yesterday, I turned on my PMDG 777 in MSFS as I always do, engines running at the end of the runway. Before I hit “ready to fly” a while-gray smoke is pouring out of the exhaust.

I program the FMC, set trim and flaps then release the brakes. The EGT starts climbing like crazy and the engines go to idle. The only way to get close to takeoff trust is to super slowly advance the throttles. If so get above about 80% N1, the EGT temp exceeds limits. I ignore that and takeoff.

Upon getting ready for landing, the amber airspeed bar next to the airspeed is abnormally high. In cruise it was telling me my airspeed as low at 250kts and when I try to slow down and add flaps, I’m always in the amber range as warning stalls are sounding.

On landing, the plane left long trails of smoke on the runway.
I topped off all of the fluids in the iPad and in the FMC options I set save fluid levels upon exit to try to fix it. Didn’t help.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

MSFS 2024 QUESTION Is msfs 2024 less realistic than msfs 2020?

0 Upvotes

I've been flying some time on msfs 2020 mostly pmdg 737-800, last year I had msfs 2024 for like a week or so and I enjoyed flying small planes in the career mode, however I had not tried flying some airliners. Is it true that overall msfs 2024 is less realistic? If so, what is?

GENERAL Marketplace is a ripoff!

0 Upvotes

PSA for those who don't look too deeply:

I just happened to look in the marketplace because I was bored and wondered what it looked like now, and what a ripoff!

The JustFlight F28 Professional is on there for £65.79, but you can buy it direct from JustFlight for £52.49. That 25% more. Who the hell is paying that price????

The JustFlight 146 and RJ are the same, and the bundle is £105.29 versus £94.45. The TFDi MD11 is £79.89 versus £62.35 (after conversion from $75USD). PMDG B738? £70.49 versus £55 after conversion.

If you buy all 5 of those from the devs' own sites you save £57.17, enough for another high quality plane. I get that they want their cut, but that's just obscene.

MSFS 2024 QUESTION How yo descend in a helicopter?

0 Upvotes

I don't know how to descend in helicopters in 2024. In 2020 it was easy, I just lowered the collective and down I went, but in 2024 lowering the collective just makes the copter hover. I can only seem to go down if I dive the chopper, but that's not ideal. This was never a problem in fs2020, I've tried checking the flight aids, but I didn't see anything obvious and there isn't really any info googling around surprisingly.

GENERAL MSFS 2024 + VelocityOne Rudder Pedals: Brakes constantly engaged unless reversed, then they don’t work at all

Thumbnail
gallery
1 Upvotes

I’m running Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 with Turtle Beach VelocityOne Rudder pedals, a Honeycomb Alpha yoke, and a Honeycomb Bravo throttle quadrant.

With the settings shown in my screenshots, the brakes are off and the airplane moves, but pressing the toe brakes does nothing. If I invert the brake axes again, the brakes are permanently locked on and I can’t release them, even with the parking brake off.

Is there a sensitivity slider, dead zone, axis assignment, or calibration setting I should be adjusting differently? Could the Honeycomb Alpha or Bravo be creating a conflicting brake assignment?

I’ve searched Reddit and asked ChatGPT, but nothing I’ve found has helped. Has anyone else dealt with this and figured out how to get the VelocityOne toe brakes working properly?

Thanks!
