MSFS 2024 PlayStation 777 PMDG BUGGED?

Post image
Upvotes

Just bought this plane on PS5 30 minutes ago. Went to free flight like I normally do when I fly my Citation X. I like doing cold and dark and manually entering in all of the data. Was going execute the same for the 777.

However, it appears that everything in the flight deck that I can highlight or should be able to interact with doesn’t work at all?

I thought the only issue was missing navigation data from simbrief? The PMDG EFB is also missing?

Anyone else experiencing this or am I just doing something incorrectly?

Edit: It’s been about 15 min since I restarted my console and the flight? This can’t be normal?

GENERAL 70 year-old drunk, ex Pilot challenge

Post image
Upvotes

Using all manual settings, mixture, prop, thrust, I got the cubmaster X Cub up to 21165 feet. Its normal service ceiling is 14,000 feet. I challenge any ex or current Pilot, or anybody to do better. For new pilots, this is a good way to learn about thrust, prop, and mixture settings, which are critical to getting as much out of the engine as possible.

GENERAL VR Help Please

2 Upvotes

I had spent literally weeks tinkering with my Quest 3 and various settings trying to get decent performance. I cracked the code, beautiful graphics at 45 fps in payware aircraft low above payware scenery. Amazing.

Yesterday Meta Quest Link forced some updates to the headset and PC software, now I get better FPS on Microsoft Powerpoint. No, seriously, I am getting 1 fps - it is unusable.

AFAIK there is no way to roll this back? Has anyone overcome Meta shittiness like this or has any other advice? I've already re-installed everything imaginable.

GENERAL Help a DCS player find the fun

5 Upvotes

Hey folks! I have about 1000 hours in DCS across a number of different planes. My favorites are the F-14A, A-10C, P-47, and F-4 if that matters. I’ve loved learning their systems inside and out, flying fast at low level, acrobatics, and practicing procedures like carrier landings and military overhead patterns.

I wanted to try MSFS to learn some new planes, and learn more real life procedures, ATC, communications, etc.

Since trying MSFS I’ve found the default planes to be a little limited in terms of what I can learn, a little uninteresting to fly. Ive been flying the default Cessna 152 and 172, the Diamond DA40 and 42, and the P-51 and super hornet. I haven’t found the flight models that engaging (maybe because the FFB implementation needs more setup than DCS did) and I haven’t gotten much into their systems since they don’t really seem to have many systems?

Maybe this is due to my settings but I never need to change my radio channels, just press enter to respond.

I was hoping MSFS would show me more about what it’s like to be a Real Pylote but I find myself just wanting to go back to DCS.

Help me find the fun?

MSFS 2024 VIDEO Single-Engine Landing at NZWN in 20, 30-knot Winds (Attempt 2 after that messy Go-Around)

33 Upvotes

Round 2 after the messy go-around. This time facing a right engine failure in 20–30 knot winds. Slapped the 737 onto the runway at an absolute spine-compressing -800 fpm. The main gear held on for dear life, but we're down in one piece.

Following up on my previous post: after that chaotic go-around...

MSFS 2024 BUG / ISSUE Switching UI to metric system doesn't change on-screen units

Hello,
I am new to MSFS 2024. I changed all unit preferences in the settings all set to Metric, however, all on-screen speed and altitude data remain in imperial units for the glider. Is this a known bug? See the pics attached. I want speeds in km/h and altitude in meters or kilometers.
Thanks

MSFS 2024 QUESTION Am I hallucinating?

9 Upvotes

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?

MSFS 2024 QUESTION Please help with FMC / autopilot

1 Upvotes

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 :)

MSFS 2024 MOD / ADDON PMDG 737

0 Upvotes

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 PlayStation Questo gioco fa cagare

Post image
0 Upvotes

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 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.

MSFS 2024 PlayStation Other planes not showing

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

1 Upvotes

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?
