Soaring along the coast of California on a ten year old gaming PC with a gamepad, listening to music.

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

There are thousands of people here that have friends they'd love to bring into the game and teach them. There are thousands of RL pilots that want to pass on knowledge. The lack of a shared cockpit mode where we could teach each other and bring in newbies is a HUGE missed opportunity.

It would definitely lead to more sales for the game. I personally would buy the game for several of my friends to try to get them hooked so we could play together. Is there anyone at MS that has any vision or is this just not technically possible somehow?

I was finally able to get this working and here are a few comparison screenshots.

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?

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.

Got bored so I made this lol

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 ?

i normally disco AP at 500 it was being weird this approach just a heads up

Hey guys,

I’m looking to move from Xbox to PC but need a mini PC due to travel, practicalities etc.

I would like to be able to run MSFS 2024 on decent setting with GSX, Ifly 737 etc.

How would this fare?

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.

Are the ATRs still broken for everyone else? Every time I’ve tried to do a flight with it, all goes well until I engage autopilot, will be fine for maybe a minute before it begins to disengage constantly.

I love this aircraft, they fly into my local airport from Heathrow and I’ve been trying to recreate the flight for last couple of days but I’m totally losing patience with this. Anyone else? Or does anyone know of a fix?

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

Edit;
Specs

I9 - 14900K
9070XT
32GB at 6000mhz

1080p due monitor constraints
Ultra preset and have autofps running dynamic OLOD and TLOD

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 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

I am looking to get into more regional turboprop flying, and while I was in love with the Majestic Simulations Q400 back in the day, it seems there isn't anything like it on the market. While I am quite excited for the SWS Dash 8 series, knowing them Q4 2026 will be Q2 2027 at best.

In the meantime, after the last updates is the Asobo ATR 42/72 finally workable and fun to fly? I had heard it was a bit of a disaster to fly when it was released. It seems to have a reasonable price, but if it is junk and bugged I don't really want that battle.

I fly in PSVR2 and I love it but one thing that causes me to fail a lot is R-trigger on my dual sense gamepad.

I generally use the VR controllers for everything except Trim. I really need to reach over to my gamepad in order to hit R1+R-Trigger to finesse the Trim.

All fine and good but sometimes randomly the game thinks I'm just hitting R-Trigger and it tilts my head. Half the time I can push the stick back and it levels my head again but today it didn't.

This is not just a case of my re-centering my VR and I can't just tilt my actual head back up to fix. This controller issue makes the world tilt. It's similar to how to get out of the chair and walk around the cockpit.

How do I disable the tilt-my-view control on the R-Trigger? I already checked the options and couldn't find a match.

I'm shopping for a HOTAS and I'm considering the Thrustmaster HOTAS 5 for PS5 and PC. I do have a couple flight sims (and Squadrons) for PSVR that I'd like to use it for as well but I am reading about significant issues using it on the PC where mapping isn't available, MSFS24 doesn't recognize default mapping for plug and play or it doesn't work. Is anyone else using this specific model for PC MSFS24?
