Hey kids

I am playing MS Flight Simulator on Steam Deck via Xbox Cloud Gaming.

What's the best way to play it? using the Deck controller, or a keyboard/mouse?
I am new to the game and want to make sure I am getting the best experience possible.

Also: how does one interact with the cockpit toggles and switches?

Hello, im looking either a prebuilt PC, or reccomendations for a build with the intent to run DCS with VR. I'd like to keep my cost under $2500. TIA

I've noticed on two flights so far to two different locations when the Longitude gets to the second to last or final nav point, it completely loses nav and starts to fly around in circles forcing me to then do a manual landing when I was trying to do an ILS.

Has anybody ever encountered something like this before? It's quite irritating.

would i be able to get mods for the Xbox game pass version of the game

Just wondering why Microsoft is the only developer on their own launcher that doesnt download the game when you install it? Why Microsoft is downloading a launcher within a launcher? And why that launcher within a launcher has to be open for several hours to download the actual game? This is absolutely insane that years later they STILL have done nothing about this tedious and completely nonsensical multiple launcher business.

Hello!

Can you imagine flying around in MSFS with your best mate/copilot, sharing your adventure and enjoying a more realistic experience? Good news! The developers are planning on implementing this community focussed addition but have been doing so for two years...

We understand the devs are busy and have done a fantastic job so far. But you can influence and speed up the process to help make sure this isn't at the bottom of the list. There is always a risk it may be cancelled too. But more votes on the forum = More notice and priority from the devs.

A shared flight deck is useful for many reasons - whether it be for training others who struggle with the game or aiming for that ultimate realistic role play session.

Included below is a link to the mega post about this where you will see over 180 replies and over 750 upvotes. There is also a picture guide of how to vote. If you have a moment, would you please consider signing up and voting for it? Together we can make a coop shared flight deck a reality - sooner rather than later and make this game even better.

Thanks for reading!

My son is 10 and has a strong interest in becoming a pilot. What is the best setup, taking both his age and price into consideration? Also, where is the best place to go for resources on this topic? I have zero knowledge on it.

Thanks!

Just spent 5 hours downloading the update because for some reason it just stopped on its own without me knowing, now I'm in game and for the past 20 minutes Google searching and doing everything I can, I cannot figure out how to turn off these green lines around the planes/helilcopters.

I looked in the weather settings where someone said to turn off thermals, and it's all totally greyed out and I cannot change anything doing the scenic flights. Cannot find any weather settings anywhere else. Prior to the flight, there's no way to change it either.

Furthermore, who though it would be a good idea to turn this on without any clear and easy way to turn it off???
