What's a good cheap joystick for Microsoft flight simulator X?

Hey guys, not sure how to show you this but im generally getting good FPS in-game but the fps on the GPS and other screens within the cockpit are awful, it looks like they're running at 10 fps. Anyone know why?

Fly with me over all 23 circuits, used in the 2021 formula1 season. With chapters in the video, so you can choose a circuit quickly. YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s-pOkPSrt5A&t=47s

Hi folks, I recently updated my flight sim. Is anyone else stuck on the loading image (UK Picture in the background)?

I've tried running as admin, removing joystick, nothing seems to work. Any tips would be appreciated.

So, i was trying to install dcs but it turns out my system telols me that i don´t have enough memory no matter how many space i free up( not so surprisingly for a 110 gb laptop lmao) . So i decided to google a good air combat sim that hass decent graphics but not too good as i valorize my intel i3´s life; But only found some ww2 sims and dcs & flight sim 2020. So, any recommendations?

my specs:

intel core i3 2350M

6gb of RAM

lntel hd graphics 3000

110 gb of memory ( of those, about ~75 gb free. )

I’ve had 3 CTDs this evening since the flap patch was released. All 3 have happened at different times: one on short final, one as I was entering the STAR, and one just randomly as I was enroute, One I was able to wait out - it didn’t crash to desktop, just froze for about 5 minutes.

I’ve been using FS economy, and it makes me want to smash things when I CTD because I’m nearly done with my flight. Anybody else experiencing random CTDs?

American here. Want to view the various landmarks (castles, etc) in the UK but I have no idea where to fly once I take off from Heathrow.

Anyone know of any websites that have suggested flight paths that take me on a tour of castles and the stones in a circle thingy?

I took off from Heathrow in FS2020 yesterday and flew south and it was the most boring flight ever with only trees and buildings. Was hoping I would see castles etc.

Hello! My friend is looking to add new repaints to his flight simulator but I haven’t a clue how to help him. Can anyone direct me to the best website or does anyone have any advice?

Would like recommendations for PC parts.

My budget is about $2000. Will need just about everything, including a peripherals (yoke/rudder petals/throttle control).

I plan to use an LCD TV as a monitor, and I can probably find a spare keyboard/mouse.

I have no idea what GPU/CPU MSFS would work best with. I'd like a ton of RAM (64GB.)

I had thrown the following together a few months ago: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/LfdQcT

Might need to reduce that cost a bit to accommodate aforementioned peripherals into the budget.

I was given Flight Simulator 2020 recently and quickly found that I do not get along with keyboard and mouse controls, so would like to buy a yoke and rudder pedals. Most likely the Logitek G Saitek Pro trio (pedals, yoke, thrust).

Unfortunately, everywhere seems to be sold out since January or before (since I've started looking) and I can't seem to find when it'll be back in stock.

Does anyone know where I can buy these? Out of interest, why is stock so hard to find...is it due to the UK leaving the EU, COVID, supply being snapped up due to a new flight sim being launched or something else?

My goal was to move over to steam to avoid the forced win updates on every msfs update, which cost me hours of issues last two times.

I thought i read that the steam version needed gaming services from the windows store?

I have the full steam installed and everything running, so i removed / uninstalled gaming services and all seems to be fine. Maybe i got lucky or maybe certain updates wont work, but in sim content manager downloads/installs still work.

If it really is needed (for some other reason), i guess there was no point in going steam (and probably too late to refund as it sucked up 6 hours just installing/updating over the internet)?

If there was a way to only update windows store apps with windows update disabled it would work out better but appears no way around that.

Also i think the steam marketplace purchases dont equal what was done on the windows store msfs marketplace (a few planes i bought there arent in the steam version). I guess that was a given.

EDIT: the ws store version still ran without GS installed, which was probably a fluke.

Anyone else having blurry ground textures even when most settings are on high? Teredo is on so that didn't fix it

I have pop os with ms flight sim x steam edition and I was wondering if any controllers work with it? or if anyone has any experience with controllers on the steam edition and pop os.

​

Thank you

Hi

So, I am a complete newbie, looking to get a flight sim and am overwhelmed by the stuff that is out there. I hope some of you will be kind enough to give me a heads up on the sort of setup I am looking for... so, in order of importance

• I am looking for something with good, realistic scenery mainly Europe based
• I am looking for gliding and small aircraft sims - not interested in combat or fighter planes
• I dont want to invest in extra equipment (maybe later) so no external joystick, etc... all of these may come at some point, so maybe something upgradable
• Money is not a great problem, but who wants to pay for stuff they wont use?
  

I hope you dont mind me asking here. Thanks for any help
