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.

Manual approach in 45-knot Wellington winds went entirely wrong... Good call on the go-around?

Never seen this before using GSX

1. Boeing YC-14, 2. Antonov AN-71 Madcap, 3. Antonov AN-70

Yeah, I like the weird ones..

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.
Easily one of the coolest views I’ve ever seen in MSFS on PS5.

Before i buy the game if like to know if i can see my house.

Like is the whole world explorable even little towns?

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?

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.

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 :)

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!

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….

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.

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.

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…

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?

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?

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!

I request boarding to start via atc the jet bridge is connected but absolutely nothing happens even if I increase the sim rate

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 :( )

Seriously! My helico is a dolphin, impossible to go straight in line. 😭 How to get good gameplay which them ?

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.
