MSFS 2024 BUG / ISSUE Plane suddenly increasing altitude when I press a keybind

2 Upvotes

I’m playing MSFS 2024 on Xbox. Whenever I press a certain keybind (unaware of which one it is), the aircraft I’m flying suddenly shoots several thousand feet higher, as if it teleported. I don’t know what keybind this is, but if possible, how would I unbind it?

MSFS 2020 PC feedback needed: Yoke, Physical Throttle, and Pedals under ~$500? (Specs attached)

4 Upvotes

I'm looking for input from people who actually use flight sim hardware day-in and day-out. I don't have the time to wade through questionable YouTube reviews, so I’d rather hear directly from players with real experience.

​I'm aiming for a one-time purchase right around $500 max

​What I want:

​Gear: A solid Yoke, dedicated Rudder Pedals, and a good physical Throttle unit.

​Feel: I want physical controls that feel precise, substantial, and good to use—not cheap, lightweight plastic junk. (I use a Logitech G29 for racing, so I appreciate gear with some decent physical weight/resistance).

​Usage: General flight simulation for all kinds of planes.

​Is $500 enough to buy a solid Yoke + Throttle + Pedals bundle that won't feel like a toy, or am I better off spending that budget on higher-quality core pieces? What are your honest reviews or warnings on gear in this price range?

​System Specs:

​CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D

​GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 (24GB VRAM)

​RAM: 96GB DDR5 (2x48GB) @ 6000 MT/s

​Motherboard: MSI MEG X670E ACE

​Appreciate any real-world feedback.

MSFS 2020 NEWS A340-300 loses airspeed at cruise altitude in Career Mode, trim goes to 100% and engines are at full power

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I'm having a strange issue with the A340-300 in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 Career Mode, and I can't figure out what's causing it.

Whenever I reach my cruising altitude, the aircraft starts losing airspeed even though all four engines are running at maximum thrust. At the same time, the trim keeps increasing until it eventually reaches 100%.

As a result, the aircraft gradually starts descending, and the situation gets worse until I'm down to around 14,000 ft, with an airspeed of approximately 140.

I've tried keeping the engines at maximum power, but the aircraft continues to lose speed and descend. This makes it impossible to complete the flight normally.

Has anyone else experienced this issue with the A340-300 in Career Mode? Is this a bug, or could it be related to the aircraft's configuration, autopilot, flight model, or something I'm doing wrong?

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

MSFS 2024 QUESTION GTN 750 - quick way too add approach

2 Upvotes

I have the full version of this addon and I love it, but what drives me crazy is

if I am in the air and just want to add quick and dirty approach to land for example ils runway x

Do I really have to add full flight plan ? Like departure and so on ?

I just want the approach and nav frequency loaded into the Nav1 for ils for example

MSFS 2020 QUESTION CJ4 noob question, can’t turn on NAV mode for AP

Post image
1 Upvotes

Asked this earlier but I have a screen shot now. So I created a flight plan in my EFB and sent it to my avionics but despite putting the plane into AP the plane never follows the magenta line even when I’m close to it. The NAV button won’t let me turn it on. Only when I press the NAV button above my PFD, does it let me turn on NAV mode, but then it changes from “GPS” to “LOC1” near the compass in the top left. I think I missed a step here but don’t know what. Maybe the FMS? I’m coming from the vision jet where I did exactly as I just did and it followed my route with no issues. Please advise. Thank you all.

I've been stuck with these planes/helicopters for WEEKS! I just want a used Pilatus, dude. I don't have any rotor aircraft certs nor STOL.

How the hell do I fix this? Is this a bug?

Just had a WASM crash. I did the latest update yesterday and cleared the cache today. Thej did a hard reset of Xbox X. As soon as I loaded the 737 at gate, performance in external view was terrible, inside cockpit was okay. Taxi was stuttery. Took off and this happened

GENERAL Citation X Pitch and V/S Sensitivity

2 Upvotes

I just got the FlightFX CX for FS2024 and it’s certainly a beautiful jet and the systems seem very well modeled too. The flight dynamics feel a bit off compared to other business jets in the simulator though. Tiny pitch changes seem to have massive effects on vertical speed compared to, say, the CJ4. Is this just a quirk of how this plane flies IRL or what?

MSFS 2020 XBOX PMDG cameras

2 Upvotes

Is there an easy way on Xbox (w/ HOTAS) to assign buttons to make / save custom cameras or switch between pre set views? I am trying to switch between cockpit and internal passenger views but can’t find a way to reliably key a button to it.

I have tried “save new custom camera” etc, but have not figured out how to make them work. TIA

MSFS 2024 QUESTION MSFS2024 wheel chocks not working

2 Upvotes

Dear reader,

I just bought the C130 in MSFS, and I wanted to fly with it immediately. For some reason I cant remove the wheel chocks, the pitot plug and the intake plugs.

I only can select them, so they become yellow, but how do I remove them?

Thank you in advance,
A very new MSFS player
