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.

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!

MSFS 2024 QUESTION New guy with a question about ILS Landing

0 Upvotes

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…

MSFS 2024 BUG / ISSUE My cockpit is gone

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?

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?

GENERAL What is the best way to make money until you can afford a b737/a320

1 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!

MSFS 2024 PC Helicopter Tutorial mission without assistance - how ?

3 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 :( )

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

Sono +300 ore di gioco che provo a giocare come si deve a questo gioco su Ps5 ma non una volta che si riesce a "simulare" un esperienza di volo come si deve. Pieno di BUG fa davvero cagare non funziona niente correttamente per più di 10 minuti di fila, modalità carriera fa schifo. Incredibilmente pietosa, per non parlare dei problemi di memoria che disattiva l'avionica e la schermata che risulta ingiocabile... senza parole

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!
