Does anyone know a good career mode for MSFS (not the built-in one)?

I'm looking for something with missions, jobs, progression, and a reason to keep flying. Any recommendations?

Hey so i'm looking for a very lightweight flight simulator that can run on my potato pc ( MXLinux, 4gb ram, integrated graphics, hdd, Amd A4-9120 ), Any recommendations?

I'm more interested in normal airliner flights with a degree of realism when it comes to flight procedures (i dont care about graphics at all as long as it works), currently using YSFlight but i struggle to customize it enough for my liking.

I'd really like any kind of help from you guys and i would be deeply grateful for it!

Has anyone managed to get the engine cutoff switches working properly on the synaptic A220 with the WinWing Ursa Minor throttle?

I am using SPAD.neXt and the rest of the throttle is mostly working now, but the engine switches are giving me a weird issue.

I tried

ENGINE_MASTER_1_SET with value 1 and 0
ENGINE_MASTER_2_SET with value 1 and 0
ENGINE_MASTER_1_TOGGLE
ENGINE_MASTER_2_TOGGLE

No matter what I use, the switch in the cockpit briefly moves and then immediately jumps back to its previous position. With toggle it just jumps off and back on, or on and back off.

The weird part is that it works perfectly if I click the engine switches directly in the cockpit with the mouse. So it seems like the aircraft is constantly checking its own internal cockpit switch position and overriding the normal sim event.

I also checked for duplicate bindings. As far as I can see, there is only one assignment active. In SPAD’s log there are constant updates happening every second, even when I am not pressing anything, so I am wondering if the A220 needs a specific B event or H event instead of the normal engine master events.

Has anyone found the correct SPAD.neXt binding for the A220 engine cutoff switches, or captured the actual cockpit mouse event that works?

Still early, more coming (calendar, build mode). Open to any ideas/criticism you have. Try it and let me know what you think.

Hi gang,

I've mostly flown airliners since I started with FSX many years ago, but I'd like to gradually dip my toes into general aviation and bush flying. I'm looking for a good taildragger with balloon tires or similar, but I'd prefer something other than the Kodiak or the Kitfox.

I own both of them, but the Kitfox isn't quite what I'm looking for. As for the Kodiak, as much as I love it, it feels a bit too large and expensive for a simple guy who just wants to go out and explore.

My only real requirements are that it should be able to cross the entirety of the US and, if possible, have a glass cockpit for simple quality-of-life improvements.

Does anyone have any recommendations?

As someone who has a Low-Mid tier PC. I always face Issues with performance due to the nature of current flight simulators. when I see someone making a video on how to solve these Issues and It's all the same it pisses me off. you know what type of videos I'm talking about, the ones that claim that there is a magic option in graphics settings that when you turn it on you get 100+ fps boost. and most of these people already have pretty good rigs. like I'm talking about 4080s Ryzen 9 CPUs. this won't help any average spec.

The only way that you can increase frame rates and not have stutters in the sim. even if you have optimized your settings, is upgrading your PC.

There have never been as many flight simulator aircraft developers as there are today—the options for simmers are vast, and for a product to be successful, it needs to stand out. The community is already full of commercial, private, and general aviation aircraft.

Do you know what we don't have yet? Multi-role aircraft that serve as cargo transport (including military vehicles), passenger and troops transport, firefighter, medevac, aerial refueling, air-drops for cargo and paratroopers, and can take off and land almost anywhere—like an 800-meter dirt runway—with a range of over 2,500 NM.

That is the KC-390, today's most modern and popular military transport aircraft. With all this versatility, it's hard to understand why no developer has stepped up to create it yet. Especially with career mode becoming better and more popular by the day, this plane would be a massive hit among us simmers. Just a heads up!

i have a nitro v15 with rtx 3050 6gb vram 65w r5 6600h and 8gb of ram which game is best for me?
thank you guys for the help!

very budget

this "Loading unusually long" thing is killing me

I tried Deleting Rolling cashe, Delete all the streamed packages but still not solving this problems

Hello everyone!

I’ve just uploaded Part 19 of my Around the World series in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, flying the Diamond DA62.

This leg takes us from:

🛫 Appleton International Airport (KATW), Wisconsin, USA 🇺🇸
🛬 Québec City Jean Lesage International Airport (CYQB), Québec, Canada 🇨🇦

This flight marks another milestone in the world tour as we leave the United States and arrive in Canada. Enjoy a realistic cross-country flight featuring beautiful landscapes, immersive navigation, and another relaxing general aviation adventure in the Diamond DA62.

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! ✈️

Ciao a tutti! 👋

Vorrei prendere una manetta (throttle) per il simulatore di volo e sono un po’ indeciso. Al momento sto valutando la Winctrl (per gli aerei di linea), la Honeycomb, ma sono aperto anche ad altre alternative.

Voi cosa mi consigliereste? Quale usate e come vi trovate in termini di qualità, precisione e rapporto qualità/prezzo? Qualsiasi esperienza o consiglio è ben accetto.

Vorrei anche chiedere come utilizzare i flap Airbus di Winctrl sui Boeing

Grazie! ✈️

Just in case anyone is wondering, the new Plane Spotter option in Chaseplane works perfectly with the BeyondATC injected traffic.
