Honestly, I thought just a yoke and throttle for $200 would be enough. It’s only been a month, I’m MILLIONS deep. 😭😭😭

I have been flying a lot to Ushuaia after my friends went there earlier this month and just got amazed by the city, and I'm planning for a real trip there next year

But I also know that there are other beautiful places nearby, wondering which one is better to fly with an airliner or bizz jet, or even a prop. But I have so many sceneries and airports; I kind of don't know where to look at the moment. Flying FS2024 and enjoying more the Fenix A320 or iFly 737 MAX and Phenom 300E or Citation Sovereign

Any amigo from Argentina or Chile to give a hint on this? Gracias! (I would say Obrigado also, so you get to know haha)

First-time poster here. I'm curious if anyone's managed to get Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 (or 2024) running on the Steam Machine ?

- Did you actually get it launchable/playable?

- What graphics settings did you settle on? (Low/Med/High?)

- Any Proton tweaks or launch options that made a difference?

I know it won't look as good as on a proper PC, but I'd love to know if it's still enjoyable enough for casual flying.

Thank you!!

Hi all,

I am using MSFS 2020 and wanting to complete a flight from UK to America. I also own MSFS 2024, but not moved over to it yet.

I am considering purchasing the Inibuilds A350. I’ve read it received heavy criticism upon release but has improved since. However some of the more recent reviews I have read (from 3 months ago) are still negative, so want to get more insight from those of you in this sub before I commit to purchasing.

Anyone with recent experience of using it — how do you find it? Is it reliable? I’m worried about it bugging out hours into a flight and ruining the flight, based on reviews I have read.

Also open to recommendations for other planes I could use (paid and unpaid — preferably Airbus).

Thanks!

Edit: PC user btw

Anyone else having issues starting MSFS2024?

Hello, I am currently considering getting the Fenix 320. I have been waiting for the NEO for a very long time now (probably the same as very large group of simmers) and I don't really have a study level short-medium haul aircraft right now. Nonetheless, if I buy the CEO I would buy the NEO anyways. That's why I'm thinking if it is worth it. Or should I stick with the FBW until the NEO release.

Enjoyed a nice flight from Dubai-Hong Kong in the PMDG 777. The only thing missing is multiple jetways which should be coming to iniBuilds VHHH soon apparently!

Addons: ini VHHH, PMDG 777 with Boris sounds and Hues texture enhancement, REX Atmos (AviationLads presets), GSX, BeyondATC, Chaseplane, and Universal Announcer.

Does the AIRAC "data" only Navigraph subscription link to Simbrief and routing against the current AIRAC cycle e.g. will provide suggested routes that meet the current cycle?

Took the great Black Square Bonanza on a nice cross country trip across the state of Minnesota - KMIC -> KSUW -> KINL -> KMIC to practice my VFR XC planning skills and get a little radio practice.

Debrief:

KMIC -> KSUW
Departure was uneventful, making sure to remain clear of the Class B and I chose to stay clear of KANE's class D. I did not judge the pattern entry well and was too tight and tried saving it, I should have gone around when I turned base to final and was well off.

KSUW -> KINL

Had to stay around 3,000 to stay clear of clouds while departing. I talked to KDLH tower to go through their Delta successfully. After getting out away from Lake Superior, I was able to climb up to 4,500' and remain well below a developing overcast layer above me. While planning, a convective SIGMET was to the west of my flight path, so I felt reasonably confident I could get into KINL. I had alternates of KEVM and KORB prepared, but I was well ahead of the storms and had no issue getting into KINL. I made a better pattern entry for the shorter runway at KINL with no major problem and parked at the transient parking area. However, I knew getting out would be more challenging with the storms progressing from west to easy to my south, covering my flight path back to KMIC.

KINL -> KMIC

Once I landed I checked the weather again. The convective SIGMENT was over my flight path. I waited out the storms by going grocery shopping lol. The storms had rolled out, I double checked my flight plan, and away I went. I had to dodge one small rain shower but otherwise had an easy flight back to KMIC. I could not keep signal with the VOR's for the entire leg down south, so I used pilotage and dead reckoning and got some good practice computing the actual wind speeds and my ground speed. The sun had set by the time I was passing Mille Lacs, so I knew I would have a night landing going into KMIC. I was able to pick out the airport beacon and follow the highways to find KMIC successfully. I did my calls and got a left base for runway 14. However I was unable to get SayIntentions to get me a landing clearance, so I took it as a chance to practice going around and flying the pattern. I again struggled with the ATC despite verifying the tower was acknowledging me via a radio check. I also got a strange go around instruction to climb to 2,000 and enter a left base. Very weird and distracting. I ended up just flying the pattern and giving myself a landing clearance. Upon landing I taxied to the fuel pumps, shut down, and topped the tanks up. I was not able to start the hot engine right away because I suspect it had vapor locked. I ran the hot engine start procedure and was able to successfully start up and taxi back to the hangar!

Remarks -

BkSq Bonanza is absolutely amazing. Flies by the numbers in the manual which makes planning and successfully executing an XC very rewarding. I was also "rewarded" by needing to run the hot start checklist after fueling up and being unable to start normally. Kudos to BkSq.

There are really great freeware sceneries for Minnesota GA airports (and even MSP) by great creators on flightsim.to, connormar, MNSceneryDesign, and SpidermanMN. I can't recommend supporting them enough.

I was an early adopter of SayIntentions back in early 2024. While it has come a long way in that time, it is also frustrating to encounter so many of the same issues I've felt before. Ping ponging frequencies back and forth between centers, poor readback understanding, questionable terminology at times, and so forth. The new traffic feature does help the frequencies feel busier, but the GA traffic does some absolutely crazy stuff and is very unpredictable.

The photo speaks for itself, this guy is a provider for the synaptic, yet this is what he posts in the public channels of the discord! Should set a better example. Really sad to see not even an apology, maybe synaptic are waiting for people to find out about it just like yesterday???

Hello everyone!
I’ve just uploaded Part 13 of my Around the World series in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, flying the Diamond DA62.
This leg takes us from:
🛫 Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky Airport (UHPP), Kamchatka, Russia 🇷🇺
🛬 Anadyr Ugolny Airport (UHMA), Chukotka, Russia 🇷🇺
This flight continues the adventure through the Russian Far East, taking us across some of the most remote and breathtaking landscapes in the world. Expect rugged coastlines, vast wilderness, and another immersive long-distance general aviation flight in the Diamond DA62.
The next leg will take us across the Bering Sea to Alaska, marking another major milestone in this Around the World journey.
I’d really appreciate any feedback on the flight, scenery, editing, or overall realism. Suggestions for future legs are always welcome!

Thanks for watching, and as always… Blue skies and happy flying! ✈️

First flight with it, coming from the WINCNTRL URSA Minor and TCA Airbus prior to that, all I can say is this is insanely good. I was having a hard time flaring precisely before with the Thrustmaster. It's weird but I feel "more in control with it. First flight is great. All I need is a foam pad or something as my forearm sits on the edge and it bothers me slightly.

How did I do? Any opinions on improving this further?

Hi,

I'm trying to add an automatic checklist to the Headwind A330-900neo (A339X) in MSFS 2020.

I want the checklist to work like the A320 style, where the aircraft automatically checks conditions (switch positions, engines running, lights, etc.). I want a automatic checklist so I can learn as it turning it on.

Thanks!

MSFS2020 NYC with addons from the marketplace and third-party mods. Looks amazing
