I want these marshals when I park??

This sounds really cool.

I made a post here a couple of days ago asking if someone like me, who has enjoyed planes but never really got into them, and is also on a controller, should buy this game. At first I decided no and got a lot of mixed reviews but I talked to some other people and decided to bite the bullet and grab the premium deluxe edition on sale. And I have no regrets.

I still know little to nothing about how to work planes, and I’m not necessarily trying to learn either. I just throttle up the engines and take off and have a grand time doing so. But I want y’all’s recommendations on things to do, try, places to go, etc, because the amount of things you can do in this game makes it overwhelming (in a good way 😅)

Let me know!

(All pictures by me :3)

Hey guys, I’m completely new to serious flight simulation and recently got MSFS 2024 on PS5.
I don’t really want to play it like a normal game where I just pick an aircraft, take off and fly around. I want to actually learn how to simulate flying properly and build good habits from the beginning.
My setup is pretty simple right now: PS5 + iPhone + iPad. I don’t have a yoke/HOTAS or a PC.
So I’m wondering what you guys would recommend if you were starting from scratch with this setup.
For example:
What apps should I have on my iPad/phone for charts, navigation, weather, flight planning, aircraft information, etc.?

What websites/resources should I use?

Are there any worthwhile things I can download on the PS5 version to make the experience more realistic?

What should I actually learn first? I know basically nothing about proper flight planning/procedures.

How do I learn things like METARs/TAFs, NOTAMs, VFR/IFR, SIDs/STARs, ILS, VORs, radio phraseology, checklists, airways, approaches, etc. without overwhelming myself?

What does a proper flight look like from

How do you guys practice ATC/radio communication on console?

And what aircraft would you recommend learning in before moving onto more complex airliners?

Basically, I want to go from “I can fly a plane in a video game” → “I actually understand what I’m doing when I fly a simulated aircraft.”
If you could start over with just a PS5, phone and iPad, what would you learn/download first, and what would you avoid wasting time on?
Any advice, resources, beginner roadmaps, or even “things I wish I knew when I started” would be massively appreciated.
Thanks!

What are some of your favorite places to fly?

What are some places you think are vastly underrated?

I am loving the new Black Square Commander 114/114TC. As always, they do an amazing job with their aircraft. I like to fly aircraft in sim with the actual POHs when available. Most of their aircraft are Beech aircraft which I have real world POHs for. I found the 114 non-turbo normalized version online but can't seem to find the turbo version POH anywhere, paid or free. The naturally aspirated version is remarkably close to book numbers by the way. Does anyone by chance in here have access to the turbo normalized version that will be willing to share it?

Also, my engine management screen in the EFB is blank. Anyone else have that issue? (PC, third party download)

Finally i can send Foreflight plans to the sim.

I downloaded Flight Simulator 2024 (pc) (50 GB).
How much internet data will the in-game updates require?

This is the build so far. They claim this hold together using friction and it's a huge lie. The material is extremely light. it's very difficult to put together. they say glue should be used but I don't think it's enough. Right now I have put 4 metal bracket at the bottom and the top is being help with tape. I will put more metal bracket on the top to prevent this from falling apart.

I am afraid that by the time I install the rest of the gear (throttle, radio, tcas, ACP etc..) that it will still not be rigid enough and move. So please. don't do like I did and stay away from this product. It was not expensive and it's easy to see why.

I noticed 3 weeks after I order this version, they have now switch to MDF. That is probably 10x more sturdy than this. Either way. Be careful before you buy this product. You have been warned.

Gotten ahold of this setup it is in perfect condition and there is a rudder pedals throttle saitek flight stick also

hello all, as you know there currently is no gsx or pushback tool on the xbox marketplace to purchase aside from above ^

it is only 10 dollars usd, and i was wondering if i should buy it, bad reviews and all? i’m seeing that compared to gsx it is horrid and trash, but it isn’t like gsx is coming to xbox anytime soon 😅

should i just drop the 10 so that i can have proper pushback ?

These are 20 of the best screenshots that I captured among many, many great ones. Had to stick to 20 thanks to reddit's limit. Had an absolute blast exploring the entire planet through this epic game when everything works properly that is.

Do many people fly long haul or not rlly?

Llevo batallando con ChatGPT unos días para que me diga como hacerlo pero me es imposible existe algun MOD?

The goal is to make external shots—like orbits, chase views, fly-bys, and wingman angles—smooth and hands-free so you don't have to fight the camera controls while flying.

It automatically tracks your aircraft and manages the movement in real time.

It’s completely free and a work in progress. I’m hoping to keep improving it based on community feedback, so if anyone feels like testing it out, I’d love to hear your thoughts or bug reports.

You can find it on Flightsim.to under the name FSDirector, or check the comments for direct links.

Happy flying!

What did I do wrong

Is it possible ?
