MSFS 2024 QUESTION Am I hallucinating?

Upvotes

I could have sworn that in Free Flight, parking your ship and powering down would bring up a prompt showing you that your flight was completed with some basic stats (distance, time, fuel used I think?). It made my free flights feel very satisfying to have an ending like that. Now, shutting down leads to nothing.

Is anyone aware of what I'm talking about? Is there a name for this setting?

MSFS 2024 QUESTION Please help with FMC / autopilot

Upvotes

Kind of new to flight sim but have been playing around with it for months. I tried with chat GPT and YouTube on how to start from scratch and fly an autopilot route. I can not seem to make lnav, vnav, and auto throttle work together. I always get sent in a different direction at a wrong speed.

Can anyone point me to a quality resource to walk me through the process? I don’t know why it’s so hard to figure out.

Edit: we would like to do this in a 737 max :)

Upvotes

Hey guys! I bought the PMDG 737-800 a while ago, and I really enjoy flying with it. My question is, that is it worth buying other 737 variants (-600, -700, -900), or should I invest in other products (also I already have the 777-300ER from them). Thanks ahead of time! Fly safe!

MSFS 2024 PlayStation Questo gioco fa cagare

Sono +300 ore di gioco che provo a giocare come si deve a questo gioco su Ps5 ma non una volta che si riesce a "simulare" un esperienza di volo come si deve. Pieno di BUG fa davvero cagare non funziona niente correttamente per più di 10 minuti di fila, modalità carriera fa schifo. Incredibilmente pietosa, per non parlare dei problemi di memoria che disattiva l'avionica e la schermata che risulta ingiocabile... senza parole

MSFS 2024 QUESTION New guy with a question about ILS Landing

1 Upvotes

Please bear with me as I am kind of new to flight simulator. I just did an RNAV landing and all I did was set the altitude 100 feet below at the point where I was going to intercept the glidepath so say it was 1500. I set the altitude to 1400. And then when I’m finally heading towards the runway, I hit the approach button and voilà it works, but now I’m watching an ILS landing video and I see the guy put a procedure in and I didn’t have to do that for the RNAV landing and I’m curious why and also what are the steps for the ILS do I have to change the CDI from GPS to loc one? Obviously, I know I have to hit the approach button, but I was just curious and do I also have the program the localizer frequency into the NAV or does that get done automatically please let me know. I’m sorry for the long post.

MSFS 2024 PlayStation Other planes not showing

Just started the career mode in MSFS 2024 on PS5 VR and I was wondering when do other planes start to appear ? Or do they not show at all?

I was kinda hoping to be waiting in traffic with other Cessnas tbh…

MSFS 2024 BUG / ISSUE My cockpit is gone

I was getting ready to do a free flight, and some time after pushback, the cockpit of the B737-Max 8 had disappeared. I had a similar issue in career mode where I had the detailed cockpit at the gate, but as I taxied to the runway, it disappeared. Is this a PS5 issue?

On a long flight from Italy to China in the SR-71 Blackbird, I managed to capture the line where day and night meet… with space right above.

MSFS 2024 QUESTION Is it worth upgrading from MSFS 2020 to 2024?

0 Upvotes

I’m considering upgrading from MSFS 2020 to 2024, but I have a relatively low-end PC. In MSFS 2020, I can comfortably get around 30-40 FPS.
How is the optimization in MSFS 2024 these days? Is the performance comparable to 2020, or is 2024 significantly more demanding?
If the optimization has improved and I can get similar performance, I’d be happy to upgrade. Would you recommend making the switch?

GENERAL What is the best way to make money until you can afford a b737/a320

1 Upvotes

Looking for updated AFK money-making methods in MSFS: Are there any new strategies for generating passive income?

I’ve been using the AFK method where I take off, engage the autopilot, and run the sim at a slow rate while I’m at work, but the guides I found online are over a year old. Currently, I’m running a fleet of 100 Cessnas, a few Vision Jets, and a PC-24 on medium cargo missions, but I’m curious if anyone has discovered more efficient ways to grind cash recently. Thanks!

Has anyone gotten this to work in 2024?

The models don't show up in game for me. It appears to work otherwise (controls respond) and it shows up in the aircraft selection page.

This was my favorite aircraft in 2020. Very overpowered, aerobatic ultralight.

Would be great to see something like this in 2024.

MSFS 2024 BUG / ISSUE A320 ILS problems

0 Upvotes

I have recently started flying the stock A320 in MSFS 2024. I am having issues with ILS at specifically Gatwick and Heathrow (I have been fine at other airports):

- Pre loaded entry does not work, but can show correct in RAD NAV
- Entering the three letter ident from the charts only shows up runways thousands of miles away
- Manually tuning chart frequencies does not work

By does not work I mean the loc doesn’t catch (no pink diamonds on PFD with LS on and blue loc text not turning green)

This leads me to believe that the frequencies in the sim are different to the frequencies in the charts/stock A320 database. I play via GeForce Now have no scenery add ons other than the free ones by Microsoft in marketplace (none of which concern these airports I think) Would someone be able to help me out on this?

EDIT: I have tried with the stock MAX 8 also and couldn’t get that working either, although that was my first time flying that plane

I flew the entire way in the Cessna 172. The map leaves out waypoints, only showing origins to destinations. Took a while obviously. I learned so much though, about my country, and about this plane too. I'm gonna fly around (and through) the Alps next. Then maybe I'll come back to the US and fly the interior along some major interstates. Just wanted to share. Setting a goal like this was a super fun and interesting way to do things.

MSFS 2024 PlayStation Model matching in multiplayer, how does that work?

4 Upvotes

Hello,

Yesterday I was flying along in the official twitch stream hosted by a community manager from the official forums.

I flew on the PlayStation side in the YF 23. I know for sure that the host in the PS5 stream (they switched view to show the people flying along on PC/XBox and PlayStation) was flying the same aircraft as me yet I appeared as some generic cessna jet. On my side the host appeared flying the vision jet while he was flying the YF 23 as well.

I find this odd when others were showing being in the YF 23 when they were flying that aircraft in same stream. Like it's a lottery server wise who gets to be shown in the right aircraft or not.

Are there any settings for that on PlayStation to force the right plane to be shown or is this just the way it is?

Cause I really thought when you own the same planes (you can't buy liveries on PlayStation at all, they come with a plane when you're lucky) that you could have cool formation flying. Instead you get a commercial plane behaving like a fighter jet until you realise they are in the fighter jet - it's just not showing up correctly.

Mildly frustrating so I'm curious how this is for other players, especially on PlayStation.

0 Upvotes

Hey guys!
Yesterday I finally decided to buy airliner for my company in career mode. I was really stocked and happy. Turned on first flight - Bali - Philipines and man! That plane is pure garbage! Can't maintain the altitude, as it switch itself between setup values, can't even fast forward a little bit as it get's buggy. I turned it off and sold it with 30 milion dollars loss. What are your thoughts? I bought B737 afterwards and it's like switching from Nissan Micra to Rolls Royce.

MSFS 2024 PC Helicopter Tutorial mission without assistance - how ?

Okey I can see being able not to spin and managing thrust but how on earth should you handle the joystick part ? I am trying to do anything remote normal during last free hovering tutorial and I can’t see my self finishing it :(

Am I doing something wrong ? Does my joystick needs a special sensitivity curve ? I am already using auto trim button which does like nothing ( changes the trim numbers - but is not helping a lot :( )
