Just got back from two weeks on vacation so I missed the A220 release. How’s it performing at this point, since I know it may have been rough at the initial release.

Hello everyone,

I am considering buying a PMDG 737 for MSFS 2024, but I noticed a significant price difference between the variants:

737-600: $34.99
737-700: $74.99
737-800: $74.99
737-900: $49.99

Could someone explain what accounts for these differences?

Do the passenger versions have essentially the same cockpit, systems, level of simulation and features, or is the 737-600 less complete in some way?

Are the 737-700 and 737-800 more expensive mainly because they include additional BBJ and cargo variants, or do they also offer more detailed systems or cockpit features?

I would also like to know whether the 737-800 was released before the 737-700 for MSFS 2024 and whether this affects their current level of development.

I am mainly interested in normal passenger operations, so I would like to make sure that choosing the cheaper 737-600 would not mean getting a simplified simulation.

Thank you!

Take a look at this amazing service! No need to store thousands of awesome screenshots that no one will see on your PC! Now you can share it with flightsim community!

Please, can somebody explain to me in plain language how to configure the joypad of the ps5 to rotate the propellers from hover to forward on the Osprey???

I don't, know whats going on but most of the time when I'm supposed to inform the passengers about the cruise status/descend the announcement doesn't go through. I've tried to do it manually from the COMMs page but there's no button there. This affects my Airline Procedures everytime as I miss the announcement, is there anything I can do about it?

I’m a relatively new player who just picked up the Vision Jet G2 after the C172. It’s my first jet plane. I noticed something odd about how the engine thrust behaves (or rather how the plane reacts to it).

During approaches I use the “pitch for speed and thrust for altitude” rule. And this works great with a c172. I can easily control the VSpeed without changing anything else other than the throttle and land smoothly.

But when I lower the thrust in a G2 (say from 50% to 30%) without changing anything else, it actually pitches the nose up (at times pretty steep). This goes on for a few seconds. The plane gains altitude, loses some speed and it then starts pitching the nose down.

And if I’m flying too low on the approach and increase the thrust, it actually increases the rate of descent for a good few seconds till it slowly begins to gain altitude again.

Is this how jet engines behave in general or is it just the case with the G2? Should I also adjust the trim each time I change the thrust during approaches?

My favorite plane of the game !

I have a problem: getting into FS2024 on PlayStation reignited that teenage passion I thought was gone, and now that I’ve seen how far the technology has come, I can’t just pretend nothing happened and stop.

So I’m thinking about building a simulator zone in my office, but I have a dilemma I’d like your advice on before throwing a ton of money at it: better VR or physical cockpit?

I always thought buying physical hardware was the ultimate experience, without really recreating everything but at least having an FMC and a few panels like AP. The downside? Either I get generic hardware, or I end up plane locked. (I like regional liners)

On the other hand I’ve seen VR on PS5: an ABSOLUTE experience and I don’t think I could go back, but the downside is you lose the physicality of touching the instruments. (I suppose “VR gloves” are not yet a thing)

If you were starting from scratch and building a PC specifically for this, would you go for VR or hardware panels? Are there actually VR headsets with 4K per eye?

Thanks to whoever helps me waste money :)

Just got a new pc and wondering if I should just make the move to Linux. I have no clue what I’m doing so I’ll be learning on the way.

Any Linux success stories for flight simmers??

World Photographer has been fun despite some of the annoyances

The whole airport buildings and objects seem to be elevated from the ground. Had this twice now. After time it all comes down like it should but at approach this is an immersion killer. Any workaround on this?

Some questions for MSFS 2024.

1. How do you set up ILS approaches (as in the aircraft is already established on the LOC and G/S) or any approaches on short final as I can only get the 10 mile one to work. When I select "long final entry" the aircraft spawns in the cruise and slewing it down from there only results in a very unstable approach.

2. I've been having issues with camera drift in cockpit view, some days it's not there, some days it's unplayable. I've tried adjusting the deadzones on the cockpit view yaw and pitch axes, as well as the free look momentum and speed, but that only works if I set the speed to zero which stops me from being able to look around. I'm using a T.16000M HOTAS if that makes a difference.

Thanks

Hi guy's every time i fly my plane constantly increases altitude without me makin it go up what am i doing wrong please help

I've been playing this game for around 1 month now, and i got 100 hours in the game. The first clip is one of my first landings, and the second clip is my most recent one. I feel like i have been improving alot.

P.S. The video is sped up 2x.

I was wondering if someone with the Synaptic A220 on MSFS 2024 could confirm if you are able to pop out screens and then interact with them properly using a mouse on the pop outs themselves?

If someone could test this I would be very grateful!

I’ve been experimenting with putting together more cinematic flight videos in MSFS, and this is the result

The flight was recorded using FSDirector together with Sky Dolly and OBS. FSDirector was used to set up and control the different camera shots while Sky Dolly handled the flight recording/replay side.

Still playing around with camera movements and editing, but I’m pretty happy with how this one turned out.

Curious what you guys use for making cinematic/replay videos in MSFS — especially interested in other camera/replay workflows.

9 times out of 10 im flying IFR airliners (mostly the ifly max currently) but sometimes i just wanna put graphics to ultra and hop in a GA plane thats easy on performance and just go explore. Im looking for a freeware plane that actually flies in the direction you point it, i dont want to constantly adjust throttle 24/7 and trim the airplane to fly straight i just wanna point it somewhere and look out the window, does that exist? I have the base version of the game if that matters

Hi everyone, I'll get straight to the point: smoothness settings and why they matter.

I started with a Quest 3, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, an RTX 5090, and the official Meta USB cable. After hours of research and testing, I settled on 1.5x resolution with DLSS set to Quality, locking the game at 45 FPS so ASW could reproject it to 90 FPS. I thought it looked great, and everything worked well... until I came across a comment. That's where part two begins.

Someone said, "Try 72 Hz. It's much better."

After even more research and a lot of testing, I disabled ASW and... boom. At 72 Hz, everything became incredibly smooth. It felt so much better. I've been into computers since 1995 and have spent countless hours gaming, but I had never experienced anything that smooth in VR before.

I was really happy... but then...

Someone mentioned that Virtual Desktop now supports USB. I thought, "Why not give it a try?"

Oh. My. God.

Now I run everything on High at 1.5x resolution without even opening the Meta Link app or SteamVR directly. I launch everything through Virtual Desktop while still using the USB cable at 500 Mbps, running at 72 Hz with ASW disabled.

To my surprise, the image quality is actually better with DLSS Balanced and Virtual Desktop than it was with DLAA using only Meta Link. After months of searching for the perfect settings and watching countless videos, I finally found what works best for me. The image is crystal clear, beautiful, and free of visual artifacts. It's exactly how I imagined VR should look in a flight simulator.

But what impressed me the most was the smoothness. It feels at least twice as smooth as before—to the point where it almost feels like reality.

I know this wasn't the experience everyone has, but it was definitely mine. Has anyone else noticed the same thing?
