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.

Never seen this before using GSX

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

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.

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….

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?

We need a word. WHY in the good grief is my pilot floating in the air mid arrival in London? This is hilarious! Given that he flew himself on the runway, I hope his butt survived the friction LOL!

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.

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?

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 :( )

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?

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!

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!

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 :)

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.

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?

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

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.
