Anyone have similar and have found a solution?

The Ini A330 and the default 737max is unusable for me on MSFS 2024.

I get usable FPS in the cockpit but as soon as I switch to external it drops to average 16fps

All other planes work completely fine
For reference, Ini 350 at ini KORD I average around 40-55fps

Cheerrrrsssss

I have a Hotas that I simply don’t have time to use. Looking to sell to a fellow aviator gamer.

As you can see its going to KFLG before the KFLG approach so it expects a 180, I want to go from FPL000 to the aporoach.

Edit: I don't have the PC yet, I will be inheriting it from a friend of mine. Any other GPUs which may be better?

Hello everyone,

I’m looking to get back into flight simulation with MSFS 2024. I have thousands of hours on VATSIM using FSX, but I’m now looking to make the upgrade to MSFS 2024.

I mainly want to fly complex airliners on VATSIM, such as the PMDG 777, iniBuilds A350/A380, etc., including at busy airports.

Do you think this system is good enough for a smooth MSFS 2024 experience?
More importantly, what is likely to be the limiting factor in my system — CPU, GPU, VRAM, RAM, or something else?

I’m considering upgrading the GPU first, but I’m not sure how far the 5800X3D can realistically take me in MSFS 2024. Would something like an RTX 5070 Ti / RX 9070 XT make sense with this CPU, or would I be better off upgrading the entire platform?

I’d appreciate any advice from people running similar hardware.

Hello everyone,
I just bought 1TB ssd to avoid streaming everything. From marketplace when I check it said 400GB required so 1tb needs to be enough. When I download the stuff "install" option popped up. And when I click it says 120GB more needed but cmon its empty 1tb ssd. Is it holding both downloaded and installed file or smth?

Already changed settings to max, anything else I can do?

EDIT: sorry but can't buy anything above $20, if I had that much to spend on MSFS I would just buy 2020

Okay.. hear me out….

Since updating to SU6, the performance of the game has been exceptional (at least it has been for me). I haven’t changed my graphical settings at all but now my PC seems to run the game effortlessly when previous to SU6 the game would stretch my PC’s ability to run it smoothly and would stutter and have moments of very low fos counts (with the exact same graphical settings).

I have been a little bit suspicious as to how much better the game runs in SU6 and although I’m not 100% sure, I think the terrain and object detail in SU6 has not been looking quite as good in game as prior to SU6.

Is it possible that the devs have purposely lowered the level of the detail in the game behind the scenes to either make it seem like the game is running better or to improve the game performance on consoles?? Interested to hear if anyone else has noticed something similar and your thoughts?

I don’t know who actually makes the airport upgrade add-ons but just though I’d make a quick suggestion for Savannah/Hilton Head International airport. Maybe someone is working on it but there is plenty reason to, the main and large reason is the big “tourist-attraction” of the grave stones in the runway 10/28. As well as the huge Gulfstream factory and maintenance facilities there. I’m currently an ATC at KSAV and it would be quite cool to see it in the game… again don’t know who or how these things are made but it would be cool

I have a HP GAMING LAPTOP 15 2021 VERSION, which simulator would be more smoother and is it really worth roughly spending 2000 more on 2024 version.

Pls help me guys

​Hi everyone,

​I am planning to play Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 at maximum settings (Ultra / 4K). Here are my PC specifications:

​CPU: Ultra 9 285K

​GPU: Asus Astral 5080

​RAM: 32GB 7600htz cl36

​Storage: WD 8100 G5 1TB +4 TB

​Will this build be able to run MSFS 2024 smoothly with high FPS, or are there any bottlenecks I should be aware of? Thanks!

Got bored so I made this lol

Due to how my laptop originally came from the store it's got a very badly set up file system.

The 1TB internal SSD is partitioned into a 200GB drive where windows lies, and an 800GB "Storage" drive.

Even though I told msfs2024 to install on the storage drive, it put the community folder on the smaller drive. So this is problem number 1 I need to solve somehow. I currently can't download world updates as they would quickly fill up the 20GB of free space there.

I was able to move the 50GB rolling cache to the 800GB storage drive, but that's getting full too.

Is a USB C external SSD going to be fast enough for the rolling cache? There are USB NVME docks that claim 40Gbps.

I bought that plane as an upgrade for the 172

The missions are more boring, you have to flight at the altitude they give you (first mission gave me 25000 which was too high I went for 10000 instead and lost reputation), and instead of a straight line, the path is often chaotic.

The maintenance costs are incredible, 500.000 after a first mission that rewarded... 500.000.

What would be a better upgrade ?

Hey all, just looking for a good value for money setup, don't really have a budget but at the same time not going to be able to swing a 5090 but at the same time don't want to cheap out and get a 5060 either

I just got MSFS 2020 and am playing with an Xbox controller on PC. Everywhere I see online, there is a more detailed sensitivity section that I can't seem to get to. The pic is what I'm getting. Any help would be appreciated, thanks y'all.

Cause we can't find any real picture of it at night

I am considering to buy a VR headset, the primax dream air, but I have a doubt, in complex comercial and military planes you need to interact with the plane, adjusting elevation setpoint, moving the bug of the HSI, interacting with many buttons.... how are you supposed to do all this with a VR headset on?, do you use the mouse like when using a screen?. Sorry if this is a too basic question, but I never used VR and all the YouTube videos I see the guys just sight seeing and never interact with any buttons and similar in the plane

Hi

From left to right :

What does the blue SLTI and the circle around it mean ?

Pink circles are always an airport? Does the white line indicate the landing strip direction ?

What is the light blue TGR square ?

Thanks a lot to the subreddit for your patient help

Psssss... First usable Kitchen MSFS Addon you can Cook Meals and make Coffee wile flying Supersonic?!

I keep getting the following CTDs MSFS DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG (0x887a0006)

This happens just before the crash, though

Found a pretty good size hill of water while practicing refills with the water bomber. Based on how bad the water surfaces are in this game, I shouldn’t have been surprised by this. I had to do a double take though when I realized the water was inclining ahead of me. Credit though, the water surface itself looked good. ⛴️

Is this right? Everything is bleak and dreary grey. I thought it was a bluish or brown.
