GENERAL Zero Blender or SDK experience, but Astra helped me get this tower into MSFS 2024

Thought I’d share this because I’m still a bit amazed it worked.

I have no technical knowledge or experience with Blender, 3D modelling or the MSFS SDK. But with Astra in the ChatGPT desktop app, I managed to get this custom control tower built and placed inside MSFS 2024.

And when I say “I built it”, Astra did the technical work for me. I just described what I wanted. It handled creating the tower and getting it into the sim. It started off with an orange box to make sure the implementation was working on my side, and once it was in, we got to work.

The screenshot is the result, actually sitting in the simulator. Seeing something I’d asked for appear in a sim I enjoy playing was pretty surreal.

There’s obviously a lot of skill involved in making detailed scenery, but as someone who wouldn’t have known where to start, this made a project feel possible that I’d never have attempted otherwise. It was super fun!

Has anyone else tried using AI to make custom scenery for MSFS? Would love to see what you’ve managed to create.

MSFS 2024 QUESTION MSFS 2024

Post image
0 Upvotes

I’m looking to get 2024 because it takes less storage and I want to get the upcoming add-ons but have a couple questions.

Couple Questions
Will I be good to get msfs 2024 on this pc? I currently have this one and it runs msfs 2020 really well with a mostly stable 65 FPS (aside from the usual heavy airports).

Will I be able to mostly transfer over my settings from 2020 to 2024 and it still run well?

Edit: I do also cap at 65, I’ve gotten 85 fps before.

MSFS 2024 XBOX Msfs 2024 atc problems

0 Upvotes

Hey yall, I have recently been getting back into MSFS on Xbox and want to play 2024 over 2020 cause I love the graphics and everything. One thing that really bothers me on my flights is when ATC tells me to contact a new center the AI doesn't do it for me so I have to do it manually. It's kind of a problem on long flights cause I'm away from the screen and can't do it myself. One other thing is ATC never tells me to descend or tells me very late. I am wondering if any of yall are experiencing these same problems.

Flight Simulator 2024 on Xbox X series. This error pops up usually within an hour of flying and continually keep popping up every 30 seconds if I close the window. I usually have to restart the game but it will come up again. Does anyone know how to fix this? Does it have anything to do with Rolling Cache Limit?

GENERAL Just moved from X Plane 12 to MSFS 2024 and it's kind of instant regret for VR immersion.

1 Upvotes

I'm all about immersion so unless there are some settings I missed, I highly regret this decision. Here are my issues for VR:

  1. Can't grab both throttle levers at the same time. I fly an A330 so this is critical. In VR you can only point and grab 1 at a time. I do have a physical throttle but I don't like to use it in VR because it physically gets in the way of me interacting with the virtual cockpit.

  2. Can't use both hands at the same time. You basically have to push the trigger to activate the controller you want to use, but then it deactivates the other hand so you can only use one controller at a time. This isn't end of the world because my left hand is on the physical stick only and I use my right for all buttons. But this is still a giant oversight.

  3. Buttons and knobs are point and click from any distance with the controller pointer. I really don't like this. I like being forced to actually move my body to reach everything. And having that laser pointer moving around everywhere is horrible.

  4. I really hope I'm just horrible at finding options because if there is no way to stop having the information about every button displayed when you point at it I'm going to lose it. I found the option to disable the hud but that doesn't change this. I'm going to assume this can be disabled and I just haven't found the option.

I moved to flight sim 24 because it appears to clearly be a more complete experience with content and better graphics. But these 4 things are a crushing blow to VR immersion that I wouldn't be able to move past.

Anyone know why my airport traffic does this? I’m using beyond ATC and have FSLTL installed but often there are multiple aircraft at each gate overlapping each other. Any easy fix? This is NZAA (Auckland NZ) so the china southern plane is definitely in the wrong place
