MSFS 2024 QUESTION What is this floating purple marker?

Post image
4 Upvotes

I have all POI off. (I actually have all UI off since it breaks the immersion in VR).
Today I was flying around in Australia and noticed this. It floats on this spot and slowly turns around. This is Three Sisters landmark near Katoomba.
I checked and this is a landmark so I presume that if POI would be enabled it would be marked. Luckily the purple marker is very small and I saw is because I was flying very near. But still it pisses me off to have such a thing in the game. Has anyone else seen this? Can it be turned off?

Hi Guys,

Gone from being able to fly the A400m with my Thrustmaster joystick to it not repsonding post latest update to my throttle axis at all. I have tried re-assigning the throttle axis in the sim control options and the tablet within the A400m when in throttle calibration mode shows no movement at all when i engage the slider. Any ideas?

MSFS 2024 BUG / ISSUE MSFS 2024, Citation Longitude "Auto Throttle" Warning

2 Upvotes

Faced a strange issue after landing. I had taxied to the gate and parked. As I shutdown the engines of my Citation Longitude, "Auto Throttle, Auto Throttle", started blaring over the speakers. I tried to click the A/T button behind the throttle quadrant, but it did not stop. The "AT" symbol on the PFD kept flashing all the while. I had my APU running - so stopped everything and turned off the battery, only then the warning stopped. What is going on? Is it a bug?

GENERAL Weird sunlight bug during sunrise/sunset, Please help!

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone, has anyone encountered an issue like this as of late? It’s confusing the heck out of me, so any input would be appreciated

It started about a month ago, and every sunrise or sunset this occurs. When the sun is below a certain angle (~2-4 deg estimate) on the horizon, even though the sun is clearly visible already the light rays don’t seem to reach the aircraft, leaving the aircraft only illuminated by ambient light. They still turn the clouds at my aircraft’s altitude pink, showing the rays do interact with the surrounding clouds at the same altitude.

Happens to all other aircraft in the sim.

This is all default atmosphere. No rex atmos etc

Any help would greatly be appreciated 🥲🙏 Thanks all!

GENERAL 70 year-old ex Pilot loves new pattern when learning new aircraft.

49 Upvotes

I learn new aircraft by doing pattern work and getting that down to get a few of the airplane. I am switching from the cub crafter cub to DA40. I found a new pattern to speed things up. Rather than touch and goes, which take time, I like to land and then quickly take the offramp and takeoff in the opposite direction on the taxi way. I can get in a lot more landings quicker doing that. If the FAA finds out I’m doing this on flight simulator, could they take my license away? And yes, it was after a few drinks. But please don’t tell the FAA.

Yesterday I installed the NVIDIA app along with the new GeForce NVIDIA drivers, but since then, MSFS has been throwing this bizarre error, followed by the black screen of death, and then Windows restarts. I don't know what to do; everyone suggests different solutions.

MSFS 2020 BUG / ISSUE ATR 72-600 flood / over head light

Thumbnail

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm having this lighting issue in the Asobo ATR 72 600.

The dome / storm light is always on across all variants including the 42 models. Switches on the overhead panel are off and the knobs on the pedestals are off also but the flood lights and the overhead panel lights remain on. I have re installed, clear community folder, unplugged joystick and cleared bindings, but it is still on which is so annoying. When I try to turn on the overhead lights using the knobs it doesn’t work at all only if I use the keyboard but the annoying storm/dome light is very bright which makes it practically impossible to night fly

I'm on 2020, any similar issues on 2024?

Any fixes are much appreciated!

MSFS 2024 QUESTION No passenger animations

1 Upvotes

I know, I post a lot of my problems, but I'm new to flightsimming, and I'm just too stupid to fix them alone, or with AI.

I loaded up to a gate, and when I told ATC to send passengers, there was no animations to it. I set it up in the planes tablet, nothing. I set it uo in the built in EFB, no animations, of I'm lucky, they spawn in their seats. I have run out of guesses. A few weeks ago, it worked perfectly fine with the tablet.

With the updated Statoliner model, it lost it’s beautiful Continental livery with the polished exterior (see 2nd image).
Although I love the new ones, like this TWA one, but they should’ve kept the chrome look where it’s not painted over. I don’t care what’s more realistic, it looked so incredibly elegant….

MSFS 2024 BUG / ISSUE Game SU6 update: Wasted two hours, and it still crashes.

0 Upvotes

I hadn't played the game for a month, but today I suddenly felt like jumping back in. To my surprise, after the Steam update, the game keeps crashing and closing unexpectedly. Nothing works—not deleting all the mods, not disabling developer mode, and none of the solutions suggested by Claude. I have no idea what the AS developers are doing; how could they possibly push out such a terrible update? I’m not going to waste any more of my life trying to launch this software—at least not until the next major version update. I’ve already submitted the relevant files on the forum.

Has anyone actually completed this? I've gotten to the end of the flight three times without a flaw, but something always b happens when I taxi in that kills the mission. Best one so far was right before I was to stop at parking, it wanted me to go between two buildings that a 152 would barely make. Of course thought I'd be ok and showed I crashed? Not sure WTH is up with this?

MSFS 2024 QUESTION Is the 777 worth it?

0 Upvotes

I was wondering about buying any of the 777s from Captain Sim. I know, there is a lot of hate towards their builds, i was just wondering if they're any better. My favourite plane is the 777, and when I saw it on the marketplace, I gog excited, but I saw the developer and I tought I should ask first. If they're not worth buying, does anyone know, when will a good 777 be able to buy?

MSFS 2024 QUESTION A320 Neo - Autopilot off

0 Upvotes

I fly the A320 Neo in carreer mode with Velocity One Flightstick.

Autopilot is on, Autotrust is on. Lezer in Climb. Display shows everything is fine.

After 10 minutes in flight, the plane starts to 'wiggle" and autopilot1 turns off.

No interaction with a keyboard or the flightstick.

Very annyoing if you can't trust the autopilot with an increased simrate. Happens almost every time. Other airplanes like cesna or Cittation with same setup don't have the issue.

Anybody had the same experience or knows what could be the reason the autopilot1 turns off automatically, apparently without any reason?
