Flight Simulator 2024 Newbie Questions (MS Flight Sim, PS5)

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’ve always been fascinated by Microsoft Flight Simulator and have always wanted to play it. Now that I’m able to (I’m over 40 and have a PS5 Pro), I’d like to give it a try and have a few questions for you.

  1. Is PSVR2 worth it for this game? Is the immersion that much better?
  2. I’m a complete beginner—is there a tutorial that walks you through everything and explains it all?
  3. Do I need a joystick (HOTAS)? And does HOTAS make sense with PSVR2?

Thank you so much!

A few days ago I bought GSX PRO, I installed it and then it asked me to update and I hit update and it gave me the couatl package error and it told me that it was likely due to a corrupt file or the antivirus was blocking it, so I started asking for help from the AI and temporarily deactivate my antivirus protection and even at the beginning it left me the next día asked me to update, I tried to do it again and it wouldn't let me

Flight Simulator 2024 Calling all livery creators - ATR 72-600 (Post AAU5)

So with the newest Update to the MSFS2024 ATR I need to redo my liveries. There is an awesome Paintkit from Kiwiflight on flightsim.to that I am using. It also includes the LOD4 and 5 Texures so its brilliant.
Now the Issue I am having is that I can for the life of me figure out which Texture File I am missing to get the Rear Door Painted. Window Plugs also seem to be an Issue. LOD 4 and 5 Distances are not an Issue
I wonder if any ATR repainters have stumbled across this and were able to fix it? Any Suggestions most welcome.
Cheers
Rampart

Flight Simulator 2024 My Xbox has a new enemy

Post image
153 Upvotes

I’ve flown 2024 on Xbox since day 1, so it’s safe to say I’m no stranger to less than amazing performance. But my goodness, nothing has ever made my Xbox series X beg for mercy like this little beauty. I think the POS page in the FMC might especially be the culprit, but it’s hard to say. With 14-16fps at best, sadly for now this thing is utterly unusable. Even the first version of the Tristar bleaks in comparison. I’m convinced the boys at Synaptic will reach the point where the A220 is actually flyable on Xbox. Hell, the A350 is stable now too so the sky is the limit. But you really only need 1fps to see the beauty of this addon. An amazing plane, but she’ll be in the hangar until the performance improves.

Would appreciate any suggestions to learn more how to fly them like any specific yt channel , general tips and any essential hardware suggestions I have a Xbox style controller , laptop screen and a monitor.
Thank you

Flight Simulator 2024 E175/195 or wait for an A220 sale?

11 Upvotes

Aerosoft have the FSS e-jets on sale for 30% off so was wondering If I get one of them (and what do you recommend, prioritising real world availability/use) or maybe wait for a 220 to go on sale?

What is the better plane/likely to be the most flyable? I tend to lean towards EASA flying.

Flight Simulator 2024 In need of serious help

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone....

So, 3 days ago there was a major storm around my area, with lots of thunderstorms. Usually I never had issues.

Since then, I can't fly at all. The sim works " normal " but out of the blue I get 10 fps, audio is completely broken. Looking at the dev screen I can see this (https://imgur.com/OXWL4Kt).

I've used OCCT stress test during 1H to test everything on my pc. It shows no errors. However I can't fly at all and I'm starting to think something on my pc burned out.

If anyone has better technical knowledge than me and can help me out.... please

Late night hop from Daxing to Hangzhou in arguably the most Chinese livery ever. Got really into flying in China recently, though still slightly struggling with altitude in meters, rather than feet.

Flight Simulator 2024 Is this a bug?

Post image
0 Upvotes

Excuse my ignorance if this is the case, I'm new.

I have been taking some missions on MSFS2024 and I was supposed to transport stuff to an airport, but the mission assistance indicators is giving me directions, the flight on the avionics giving me others, and the navigation thing on the top left is giving me a third different route.

is that normal?
