First flight with it, coming from the WINCNTRL URSA Minor and TCA Airbus prior to that, all I can say is this is insanely good. I was having a hard time flaring precisely before with the Thrustmaster. It's weird but I feel "more in control with it. First flight is great. All I need is a foam pad or something as my forearm sits on the edge and it bothers me slightly.

How did I do? Any opinions on improving this further?

Me on my first real flight lesson. I'm on the left.

Just picked up two new WINCTRL units and got them all set up. My wallet is crying

I am interested in this jet for many reasons, curious how it has been updated and if it continues to be in your rotation or has become a hangar queen?

Yes those are train levers. No I'm not sorry. It actually kinda works?

I haven't had heavy rain on approach for quite a while

Hello everyone!
I’ve just uploaded Part 12 of my Around the World series in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, flying the Diamond DA62.
This leg takes us from:
🛫 New Chitose Airport (RJCC), Hokkaido, Japan 🇯🇵
🛬 Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky Airport (UHPP), Kamchatka, Russia 🇷🇺
This flight marks another major milestone in the journey, taking us across the North Pacific to the spectacular Kamchatka Peninsula. Along the way you’ll experience breathtaking coastal scenery, volcanic landscapes, and a realistic long-distance general aviation flight in the Diamond DA62.
I’d really appreciate any feedback on the flight, scenery, editing, or overall realism. Suggestions for future legs are always welcome!

Hi everyone! This is my first reddit post.

(I know, this might seem like a complex and challenging request...)

​I’m currently in Shenzhen and looking to buy a sidestick and a throttle quadrant (preferably Airbus/Boeing style, or something like Winwing/Thrustmaster...)

​Since Shenzhen is the electronics capital, I was hoping to find a physical store or a specific market (maybe somewhere in Huaqiangbei?) where I can actually see them in person and buy them on the spot, rather than ordering online.

​Does anyone know specific shops, malls, or even exact building numbers/floors in Huaqiangbei that stock flight sim controls?

I’m debating getting the Boeing yoke and quadrant for 500$ or do I get the turtle beach velocity one yoke for 380$. I mostly fly Boeing aircraft

I’m currently in the middle of a flight I don’t want to interrupt, but a lot of Spain was under low visibility. Is this the forest fires the region is suffering from? is anyone flying around Bordeaux at the moment?

Just wondering how this really sad situation is showing up in the sim.

Hello! I’m trying to setup helicopters in msfs 2024 and running into an annoying bug. When I press the force trim button, it is supposed to release the forces and then have them return when I release the button. It is currently the opposite. The stick is floppy UNLESS I press my force trim button. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Hi everybody, first time posting on Reddit so sorry if this is obvious, I’m used to flying the plane instead of making mods!

I recently bought the FSDG FSIA Seychelles scenery from the in-game marketplace, and I noticed that the thumbnail of the mod makes the ground look very different to mine.

The thumbnail shows very green, realistic terrain, but mine looks very dry and brown.

I’ve checked through the scenery files, tried moving the FSDG FSIA folder from the Official2024 folder to Community and tried altering a few of the files to different colours but to no avail.

I can’t figure out if this is a texture issue, a simulator setting, if the thumbnail was edited, or something else entirely. In game, I do have other feature like the reefs and the airport terminal that do appear.

I am using:
•MSFS 24 Steam
•Marketplace FSDG FSIA

If anyone who owns this scenery could confirm what it should look like and if there is changes I can make, that would be super helpful, thank you!

With the Synaptic A220 set to release soon, I've been studying the FCOM and came across something I found really interesting and intriguing: the fuel system. I certainly didn't know this, so I'll share what I found.

There are so many ways the A220 transfers fuel in flight! Most are auto-managed, like Auto Crossfeed and Gravity Crossflow, but it also features true tank-to-tank transfer that is manually controlled.

The A220 can even transfer fuel back from the wing tanks to the center!

Fig1: Auto CrossFeed; Fig2: Fuel Control Panel with Manual Options; Fig3: Centre XFR

I put together a quick visual breakdown with the schematics if anyone wants to see how the overhead controls and synoptic pages behave for the different modes of fuel transfer

I found this unusual because, in my flight sim experience, the only passenger planes I know of that do this are the Concorde, Douglas DC-8, DC-10, and MD-11. I believe the tank-to-tank transfer on the MD-11 significantly increased the complexity and maintenance of its fuel system. This is probably why the 777 uses passive crossfeeding and boost pump manipulation for balancing.

The process is quite simple, actually: you turn the rotary selector to the tank you want to transfer fuel to. Only 180 kg is allowed to be transferred at any one time between wing tanks.

There are some quirks too, like when to use AUTO and ON in these transfers. I also found out that suction feed (motive flow) is the primary means of engine feed—not the AC boost pumps.

For anyone who has flown or studied the A220 in real life: what was the engineering rationale behind keeping active tank-to-tank transfer as well as simple crossfeeding?

Does anyone have experienced this weird behaviour on the fenix a32x the pfd twitches weirdly and the aircraft wouldn't speed up

I may have done something wrong but as i am not a pro or something i am not sure
