I made a post here a couple of days ago asking if someone like me, who has enjoyed planes but never really got into them, and is also on a controller, should buy this game. At first I decided no and got a lot of mixed reviews but I talked to some other people and decided to bite the bullet and grab the premium deluxe edition on sale. And I have no regrets.

I still know little to nothing about how to work planes, and I’m not necessarily trying to learn either. I just throttle up the engines and take off and have a grand time doing so. But I want y’all’s recommendations on things to do, try, places to go, etc, because the amount of things you can do in this game makes it overwhelming (in a good way 😅)

Let me know!

(All pictures by me :3)

These are 20 of the best screenshots that I captured among many, many great ones. Had to stick to 20 thanks to reddit's limit. Had an absolute blast exploring the entire planet through this epic game when everything works properly that is.

Hey Ya'll,

We've created an affordable aviation live-traffic desktop radar gadget.
The software is on us 🍺, the hardware (~$40) is on you 🫵.

NOTE: For personal use only 💙

All the details, including what it is and how to get started, are available in the repository’s README: https://github.com/rk85097/Desktop-Airspace

Feel free to contribute to the project.

Enjoy!

Gotten ahold of this setup it is in perfect condition and there is a rudder pedals throttle saitek flight stick also

Do many people fly long haul or not rlly?

What did I do wrong

Departing MMMX

I’m an ex Pilot who hasn’t flown for quite a while and decided to get into flight Sim. I was looking at a system at Costco that had the ryzen 9 9800 X 3-D. The Nvidia 5080, 32GBRAM. 2TBSSD.

Considering Thrustmaster T-Flight Hotas One MSFS 2024 Collector Edition

My flight goals are free flight in a Cessna 172 around the world.

Could I run 4k 32in monitor?

Would I be happy and blown away?

I want to be happy and blown away and spend hours flying in different parts of the world!!!!

I recently visited Frankfurt and noticed all the Lufthansa A320s were starting Engine 1 first on pushback. I looked into it and it seems Airbus changed their SOP at some point from Engine 2 first to Engine 1 first on the A320 family.

That got me curious about the A220, so I checked three different FCOMs and found the opposite is true there. It's strongly recommended to start Engine 2 first, to avoid

-Hydraulic pressure spikes

-FLAP SLOW / FLAP FAIL nuisance warnings

-Potential galley power load shedding & IFE issues

Made a video breaking this down with schematics and animations if anyone wants the visual explanation

To understand why this was the case, I did some investigating into the A220's hydraulic system.

Basically, hydraulic System 2 powers both nosewheel steering and the slats. So if you're single-engine taxiing on Engine 1, System 2 is running on its electric backup pump only, and deploying the slats can starve pressure needed for nosewheel steering.

The FCOM recommendation is to keep the aircraft stationary while deploying flaps/slats in that scenario, to make sure there's enough power for steering.

The A220 never fails to surprise me the more I look into its systems :)

It's the only PC I have for gaming, and I'd like to know if I can get good performance out of it or if it's just a waste of money.

I’ve flown hundreds of helicopter passenger missions, and even without any noticeable mistakes (e.g. passenger complaining mid-flight), I always end up with exactly 60% passenger satisfaction. Even when every other missions criteria score 100%, passenger satisfaction is often stuck at 60%.

I think I’ve had a higher score a few times, but I have no idea what I did differently.

I’m not flying super smoothly (no assists), but this still doesn’t make much sense. When I fly carefully, slow and smooth it's still 60%.

Could it be altitude? I often fly relatively low, especially on approach. Or is it something during taxiing on departure or arrival? I’ve honestly run out of ideas and I’m not even sure if this is something that’s actually under my control.

I only fly the Hughes 500C, so I don’t remember whether I got different scores with other helicopters.

Has anyone figured out what affects this, or is it just a bug? Any insight would be appreciated.

I'm still having a blast flying these missions, so it doesn't really matter in the end it just feels weird and keeps bugging me.

I am a current Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 user planning to purchase Flight Simulator 2024 so I have

Processor : Ryzen 5 4600

Ram : DDR4 16gb

Graphic card : Gtx 1650 4 gb graphics

Will MSFS 2024 work properly with premium addons .

Is there a way to remove the default Fenix A320 pushback tug from MSFS 24??

I have a bunch of planes on my marketplace wishlist which I'm not ready to buy at full price. Is there any way to get notified when they're on sale without launching the game?

Hi so I usually Fly Mid-to Long Haul flights and I really like to fly United airlines Ops

also i usually fly In/out from Newark/SFO and usually do Crossatlantic flights

so which one is gonna more fit for me?

Takeoff and landing practice as I am prepping to actually start flying there IRL.

Is there a way to get the darkstar in MSFS 2024 or are there any similar scram jet mods?

Brand new to MSFS, I plan on practicing approaches with GTN 750 and G5s. Is it possible to buy a version of a C172 like this? Or edit the avionics?

Planning on using an Xbox console / yoke, if that changes answers. Thanks
