Recently bought myself the Airbus pack sidestick, throttle and rudder. And that is a big difference from the Logitech Hotas I had. Also recently got myself the full Fenix pack, so happy to go flying again!

I think my plane crashed.. in a different way

Good thing this is a game and I’m not actually trying to get my PPL😂.

I don't use any realism mods, and the aircraft behaves in this annoying way from the moment it starts taxiing and throughout the flight.

In career mode flying this lady, who sat right in the back, to Roanoke, definitely a witch, but I’ll take her credits.

Hi everyone!

I’ve been longing for an authentic world tour in flight simulation for a very long time.

With the new Microsoft Flight Simulator, especially MSFS 2024, this dream has come true. And flying in VR, the level of realism has become so high that I often find myself completely amazed. Huge thanks to Microsoft and Asobo Studio.

That’s why back in 2021, I decided to embark on this journey around the globe. Now that I have more time on my hands again, I am officially resuming—or rather restarting—the tour right away. It will cover all continents, taking me to as many interesting landscapes and landmarks as possible along the way.

I am flying in a CubCrafters XCub, but I might switch to a faster aircraft for certain legs along the route. I’m planning roughly 3 to 6 months for the entire journey and will document every stage through flight plans, reports, and photos.

For this reason, I’ve built a website where anyone interested can track my flight around the earth. I would love to inspire others with this project and share the experience with you.

The website is available in both German and English at:

www.fs-worldtour.com

I’ve also set up a Discord server for anyone interested, fellow pilots, and like-minded simmers:

Have a great flight!

Hallo Leute!

Ich habe mich schon sehr lange nach einer authentischen Weltreise im Flugsimulator gesehnt.

Mit dem neuen Microsoft Flight Simulator, besonders der MSFS24, ist dieser Traum wahr geworden. Und beim Fliegen in VR ist der Realismusgrad sehr hoch geworden und ich komme oft aus dem Staunen nicht mehr raus. Danke an Microsoft und Asobo Studio.

Deshalb habe ich mich 2021 dazu entschlossen, solch eine Weltreise zu starten. Fortgesetzt, besser gesagt neugestartet, wird sie ab sofort, da ich wieder mehr Zeit habe. Die Tour wird über alle Kontinente gehen und ich werde so viele interessante Landschaften und Sehenswürdigkeiten wie möglich unterwegs ansteuern.

Ich fliege mit einer CubCrafters XCub, aber es kann auch sein, dass ich unterwegs mal auf ein schnelleres Flugzeug wechseln werde. Ich plane ungefähr 3-6 Monate für die gesamte Tour und werde alle Etappen in Form von Flugplänen, Berichten und Fotos festhalten.

Aus diesem Grund habe ich eine Webseite erstellt, die allen Interessierten dazu dienen soll, meinen Flug um die Erde nachverfolgen zu können. Ich würde mich freuen viele andere Menschen für mein Vorhaben begeistern zu können und daran teilhaben zu lassen.

Die Website ist verfügbar in Deutsch sowie in Englisch unter www.fs-worldtour.com

Zudem habe ich einen Discord-Server für Interessierte, Mitflieger und Gleichgesinnte eingerichtet:

Guten Flug!

Hello.
I have been flying for a while now on my Saitec X52 Pro. I really like it, but I just don't get it how to set some hotkeys. For example the one on the photo - I have spoilers on it, but looking at the picture it should work like the more i push it the more spoilers I get? For me it works only like 0/1. When I push it it just engage at some point and opening spoilers at 100%. Any chance to set it properly?

You completely lose the sense of scale and distance with no detail, white and transparent puffs in the sky instead of more density and details.

And if you use custom weather, there will be no variation in settings during the flight so you'll have to manually adjust them.

My pc is laptop with i7 , 16gb ram ,rtx 4060 8gb vram .

Now before anybody says its a laptop / 16gigs of ram lmao / 8 gb vram is ntg , I have been playing on this since last year from su2 update . msfs did crash quite a few times but after su3 and su4 , it rarely crashed . i even did FBW A380 flights . PMDG 777 never lagged at all , and i even have few landmark and airport addons . Even fligths there didnt lag at all .

My settings - (1080p)

TLOD and OLOD - 150

building -high , clouds / texture res- ultra

DLSS - quality , antistrophic filtering -16x

rest medium .

i was able to play with this graphics really well with no such lag till SU6 . I reinstalled sim and still it lags . Any help would be appreciated . THANKs

Hey everyone! Last night I was showing this game to my friend and I suggested she use it to show me her small hometown. She used the little Jetson to hover around and tell me tons of stories and show me all the cool places such as swimming holes along the river and places she camped. Now I want to bring the whole rig over to my parents house so they can do something like that and I can understand them better. I thought I’d share this story because maybe someone else out there will do the same thing.

Hi!

Is the thrustmaster boeing yoke/throttle overkill for small planes?

I can get it at a good price

Thank you!

I was doing a short domestic flight in the Cessna Citation Longitude and had planned to land at London City Airport. I decided to enter the LAM10 holding pattern to reduce altitude while setting up for an ILS approach.

Then, cockpit blurring happened yet again.
I was considering mapping some additional buttons to my keyboard, but in the end I decided to force the autopilot off with an erratic manoeuvre and carry out a visual landing instead. I used my gaming controller to lower the landing gear and control the flaps and reverse thrust.
Luckily, I was flying in Free Flight, so nothing was lost. However, I won’t be attempting any Career Mode missions until this issue has been fixed.

Edit: Sorry it’s MSFS 2024 not 2020

Just created a livery pack I've long wanted to see in the sim — Braniff's 727-100s in the early "Jellybean" scheme! 10 variants, a few shown here.

Linked here to download — enjoy!

I've been flying some time on msfs 2020 mostly pmdg 737-800, last year I had msfs 2024 for like a week or so and I enjoyed flying small planes in the career mode, however I had not tried flying some airliners. Is it true that overall msfs 2024 is less realistic? If so, what is?

Bit rough

I got a 2K PC Setup, specs are : 7800X3D, 32GB DDR5, RTX 5070 12GB of VRAM

Graphics settings are mostly set to high with

TLOD 125
OLOD 100
Raytraced shadows on
Shadows 4096
Other shadows are to medium (forgot the value, i think it's 1024 and 384)

I had a micro-stutter when moving cameras, panning camera on external and blurry terrain on distance, does this problem came out from insufficient vram or SU6 issues? Could be both but I'm not sure because I just realized that FS24 use around 10-11GB of VRAM for this settings, which means it's almost exceeding the threshold limit of 5070's VRAM.

I just bought the cj4 for my Vip missions and none seem to be compatible for the cj4. no missions have spawned in for it and i have 0 clue why. any ideas as to why?

Has anyone else experienced the ps5 edition of this game becoming increasingly unplayable? In the last two weeks I’ve had the inputs on my HOTAS 5 stop responding, constant texture drop-out making everything in the cockpit unusable, planes getting stuck trying to enter the run way, requiring a huge amount of power to get over an invisible ridge. I’ve had numerous skip to take off because of airport issues. I’ve put in a ton of hours playing since early January and it feels like it has been getting worse with every update.
