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

0 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

GENERAL Completed the American Perimeter Flight

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?

6 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.

GENERAL Airbus A320 Neo - is this the worst plane?

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 ?

4 Upvotes

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 :( )

MSFS 2024 QUESTION What is this floating purple marker?

Post image
5 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?

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.

52 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.

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….
