**** Official Microsoft Flight Simulator Thread ****

Landed my first flight in live weather/time from Glasgow to Edinburgh. Pretty sure I'm at the right airport but it won't "finish" ? What do I need to do. I literally just landed, JUST. Came in way too fast.

Also just seen I came in backwards...

OK flying 600 miles into the Sahara is a no go, My plane kept pitching upwards and no idea why. I have -20 on sensitivity but still.. Had to wrestle it.

I’ve set sensitivity to -60 and deadzone to +15 and still getting control issues. Also tried reducing the Vsync cap to 30 as suggested on other forums. Still couldn’t do the St Barts landing challenge as the slightest input had the plane lurching and jerking all over the place. As A test I loaded up XP11 and tried a takeoff with GA aircraft, control smooth as butter. So nothing wrong with my joystick. Sadly now past the actual play time when I could refund. Guess I’m stuck with this beautiful but extremely flawed £60 Lemon.
 
I have similar issues when taking off and landing. Aircraft keep lurching to the left and I don't know what's causing it.

I've set the sensitivity to - 50% and put big deadzones in but it still happens. It's on all runways regardless off direction of crosswind and I can see on the plane that the rudder is straight so I'm at a loss.

I've not played flight sims for so long that I can't remember what's normal and what's not.

Prop aircraft will react when you adjust the throttle by pulling to one side as the effect of the propwash over the airframe and rudder changes. Particularly on takeoff you'll need a lot of rudder to balance it out.
 
CTD hell here. In flight, when navigating a menu typically.

I've updated win to latest 2002 and turned off MSI afterburner.

Not sure what else to try. My machine is otherwise stable in other games....
 
Are there any real world NPPL/PPL pilots in here? Would love to meet up at a virtual club airfield and do some formation stuff over Northumberland or somewhere else scenic. Ooh that reminds me, I might take a 152 or CTLS over the Lake District...

Do we HAVE to have an official qualification? :P
 
Had a very quick blast before leaving work this morning, took me two days after CTDs on previous installation and failed attempts to download , looks good but issue is now that on my rig I'm getting subpar performance , 2080s getting an uneven 30fps ... May have too look into it tonight but utilisation was only in the 50% range
 
This may help someone, I had a lot of CTD's on my system 2700x, 1080Ti, 32GB@3200 latest Nvidia drivers. It was really getting on my nerves as it was every crashing every single mission. I tried the following and it seems to have stopped a lot, for me at least. I do still get 100% GPU usage in menus, which must be a bug. Oddly my CPU and GPU are not used anywhere near 100% in-game which is odd :/

I run around 30FPS at High-End settings, turn down all shadow options one notch, turned up texture res and distance to Ultra, volumetric clouds to Ultra.
  • Run SFC /scannow at command prompt (admin), mine fixed a few files, unsure if related though.
  • Use Live traffic instead of using AI traffic (AI traffic seems to create too much traffic which also seems buggy).
  • Cleared and moved the running cache onto its own SSD, set at 100GB.

I think there’s a setting that allows the sim to take care of this for you if it helps.

Not sure my availability, but would be up for a group flight on the unofficial Discord at some point in the future.

I was up over Langdale Valley and Scafell on release day - change the season to Winter and it's pretty cool.

Nice video here from an A320 pilot:

Thank you, that makes sense! I have only been flying propellor engined aircraft so that would explain the issue.
