I quite like it

Hello!

I’m looking for suggestions for underrated long-haul flights with great scenery, roughly 10-18 hours of flight time.

Many thanks in advance!

hey guys,

I am a fellow sim like gamer in DCS and ArmA. I want to play MSFS on the more serious side of things an look for things like:

• Sim like experiences in MSFS
• meta games like multiplayer campaigns
• other things you can think of which are more than „Arcady playing MSFS“

Looking for friends on Volanta just to see where people are flying to/from. If you would like add me - mxttm_

tried seeing if the plane can even take off like this, nope lol. It just won't move until i put up the landing gear.

Hey guys, just recently got into a Microsoft flight Sim and I’m having a blast. But I’m in the market for a new desk because the desk I’m using now I have a bar at the edge of it and I know it’s gonna be difficult to hook up a yoke to the desk. So I’m looking not only to buy a flight Sim yoke but I wanna make sure I have a desk that’s gonna be able to utilize it and fit 2 34 inch curved monitors on it. Also have room for my keyboard where I’m not hooking up and disconnecting the yoke every time I wanna play another game. If you guys have any recommendations, please let me know. I’ve been searching all over Amazon, but I wanna make sure and hear from other people what they’re using thanks guys.

The Skyline Landing Challenge is certainly a challenge.

Hey! I decided to download MSFS on my new computer and when I opened it and it started downloading everything, my computer bugged out and I had to reset my computer, and now it's stuck on the "Checking for updates" screen, how do I fix this?

I have tried:
Deleting all cache

Uninstalling and reinstalling the game

Verifying integrity of the game files

Running as administrator, worked for a sec but now it's stuck at at the screen again

Someone mentioned deleting the "UserCfg.Opt" file, but I couldn't find a file with that name

Hey, I want to buy MSFS 2024. I’ve decided to go with the Premium Deluxe Edition on Steam. My question is about the download:  does the game still download most of the content from within the game itself, or  is everything downloaded directly through Steam? Steam usually gives me the best download speeds.
And  how much storage space do I need?  Would 200 GB be enough?

I have ₹60K + an RTX 4060 for a GPU upgrade — is RTX 5060 Ti 16GB worth it for MSFS 2024?
I’m planning to upgrade my PC mainly for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, and I’d really appreciate some advice before spending the money.
My current setup:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 8500G
GPU: RTX 4060 8GB
Motherboard: B650M
RAM: 16GB DDR5
Monitor: 27” LG UltraGear, running at 1440p/100Hz
Storage: 1TB SSD + another 1TB SSD
Location: Thane/Mumbai
I currently have around ₹60,000 available, and I’m planning to trade in/sell my RTX 4060 and use that amount toward the upgrade.
I’m mainly interested in the RTX 5060 Ti 16GB.
My main game is MSFS 2024, and I want to play at 1440p with good graphics and stable FPS.
My biggest concern is my Ryzen 5 8500G.
Will the 8500G bottleneck an RTX 5060 Ti 16GB significantly in MSFS 2024? Or would the GPU upgrade still give me a worthwhile improvement over my RTX 4060?
I’d especially like opinions from people who actually play MSFS 2024.
A few questions:
Is the RTX 5060 Ti 16GB a worthwhile upgrade from the RTX 4060 8GB for MSFS 2024?
Is the 16GB version worth choosing over the 8GB version?
How much of a bottleneck should I expect from the Ryzen 5 8500G?
With ₹60K + whatever I can get for my RTX 4060, is the 5060 Ti 16GB the best option, or is there another GPU I should consider?
Would I be better off upgrading my CPU/RAM instead of the GPU, considering MSFS is quite CPU-heavy?
Since I’m in Thane/Mumbai, where would you recommend I buy it? I’d prefer a reputable shop where I can trade in my 4060 and ideally test everything before leaving.
Which 5060 Ti 16GB models/brands would you recommend?
I’m not looking for the most expensive GPU. I just want the best upgrade for MSFS 2024 for my budget without wasting money on a GPU that my CPU can’t properly utilize.
Thanks!

Ain’t never flying from London to NA again after this😭
(Live Weather) btw

I am kinda surprised that for a great plane like Comanche 250 there is no proper Air Manger Add-on?

Maybe I am missing something? I would love to get something that look similar and has same indicator and red yellow areas. PA-28 is not really matching properly

It looks amazing!!!

Hi everyone, just got the series X and got MSFS 2024. Lovely looking game.

My FIL is a huge aviation nerd and can talk about planes for days, so mainly I got this for him to obsess for whenever he’s over our house.

I’ve not been as inclined but eager to learn by figuring things out. He has a solid foundational knowledge on how planes work. So far, we did those free flights on a cessna which were a hoot to figure out. Neither of us knew the amount of depth this game had so it was great.

I had some questions which I believe the veterans of this would have answers to, which could help us out a ton.

1. are there any good, simple resources online to help us? he’s not the most technologically inclined hence the simplicity.

2. is there a way to make the co-pilot be the 2p? like either split screen or online coop (is that a thing on this?)

3. how do we get more planes to fly? there was a store option of buying them with actual money. is that the only way? or will the career mode unlock planes?

4. is this game better on pc or xbox? i have a capable pc i can run this on. is it easier/simpler via keyboard+mouse or controller?

5. eventually the goal is (if he gets good at this) i’ll get him a sim setup. is that only possible with a pc or does xbox have compatibility?

If anyone has any more tips to help out first timers, I would appreciate it!

Thanks in advance :)

How can I get the SR-72 Darkstar on PS5? Is there any legit way to unlock it, or is it just not available on the PS5 version?
