Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 announced.

So it turns out this is impossible to play on a keyboard and I can't work out how to use the mouse as a yoke.

Thankfully, VR is AMAZING! I was able to actually grab the flight stick and use really smooth movements to fly without issue. I'm surprised by how well it runs as well, just need to tweak the settings as the visuals are obviously not as good as when using a monitor. It's so chill flying around in VR though.

Great to hear about VR performance..what headset are you using. I never really got on with VR in MSFS was considerably worse with my Quest 2 than DCS for example..

Quest 3 with 4070 Ti Super and 7800X3D. Don't get me wrong it wasn't perfect, some graphical glitching and the cities didn't look their best, but that was just with default settings. So I'm hoping with some tweaks I can improve the visuals and hopefully keep similar performance.

It felt so great sitting in a plane though, proper relaxing.

I tried to request a refund, as a known issue effecting a lot of users since launch, and no resolution date in sight, it may improve but seems to be a just accept it and wait response. The request was auto declined, Flight sim support unable to help, xbox support got me to resubmit it again but not working. Very poor from Xbox and Microsoft.

Actually managed to fly something today, was the training section. Last time I tried I was getting an error saying something along the lines of "the Cessna 172 is not available" - need to find my flightstick as the xbox controller doesn't smooth.

32GB v 64GB memory

What’s the tldr with this if you don’t mind?

I got caught out by the vr graphics settings which are separate to the main settings.

TLDR;
32GB in general is fine for VR, there's no need to upgrade to 64GB as there's no performance improvement when they tested the two configs.

Now it seems to be working (touch wood) I've done a few flights, I did Auckland to Wellington, in the Cirrus Vision G2. I'm really liking this plane, the autopilot and navigation is easy to use, it's light and small like a cesna but a lot more capable because of the single jet engine.

It is a beautiful and very capable aircraft. Have you pulled the CAPS handle on the roof yet? (Cirrus Airframe Parachute System).
