Anyone got issues with the flight surfaces not recentering? This is making it impossible to fly as you get a yo-yo affect very quickly.

Any ideas on this? If I turn left the flight surfaces will remain in that position until I turn right. The calibration does go back to centre but not the flight surfaces in game.

Ages since I had this issue in DCS, have you tried playing with the deadzone in controller settings, in control panel?
 
All downloaded and installed, I have had to buy a cheap Xbox controller now, I must admit it looks excellent, only running on Ryzen5 4600HS and Nvidia 1650TI 4GB though on 1080HD.
 
As a flight/world Sim, its pretty impressive. In some places it looks phenomenal, in other places (sadly the very places that I would want to see, the out of reach, remote places of the world that I wont have the opportunity to see in real life) it looks very bad. Its probably one of the best iterations of MS Flight Sim that I've seen and I can easily see a flight sim buff spending thousands and thousands of ££s on this. At the moment I am in the honeymoon period of "ooh, lets fly over place X where we went on holiday" and "ooh, lets fly over my house, my workplace" and so on, but as I am not a flight sim buff I suspect that once the novelty of seeing those places has worn off I probably wont touch it again. For buffs though, I imagine its going to keep them going for many many years and many many purchases
 
How on earth did people find their houses? I'm just flying around and I have no idea what direction is there a way to map directly to your house if you know the coords?

The thing is, it isn't dead zone within the game, but recognising the reverse of the input as you start returning to centre. For example the rear aileron will go down ok, but won't start returning to centre until the joystick is pushed down in the opposite direction. It's very weird.

Forgive me if I've missed the post but when is it available via game pass? I've got a live subscription but it will only allow me to buy it for £59.99, not play it as part of game pass.

*Seems that if I click on the Flight Sim tab on the game pass page, it doesn't give an install option. If I go through store > simulation > Microsoft Flight Sim, it lets me install.*

You would need to have a Game Pass subscription rather than just Xbox Live subscription.

Pretty much this - the novelty is starting to wear off now that I've tried some actual flights. I'm an airliner kinda guy and the game as it is is severely lacking for IFR flying and full of bugs. With more airliners, liveries, an FSPassengers-type addon, I can see myself coming back to it but at the moment... meh.

For GA flying though - it's amazing.

You need to go into the game installation folder, look for the folder with all the game files (from memory it's something like OneStore) and then sort the files by date modified. Delete all the files that have the most recent timestamp on them, then reload the client. It should fix that error but it'll start downloading loads of stuff again. At least it gets past the error though.

Yeah not sure how you fix that, :(
 
Downloading this game through Gamepass seem like an absolute bake. I'm so apprehensive about doing it right now, 150gb is a load of download time for it to keep bugging out and restarting. Might hold off for a bit.
