MSFS Not Going Well so Far

[PilotPete99 915]

For starters, I am missing all of the premiums deluxe airports and aircraft. I can't even get a plane off the ground, and my controls do nothing. I don't see how to calibrate my joystick although it says it is set to Madcatz default. I can't even release the parking brake, as I don't understand what the "num delete" key is. I am extremely frustrated. Did they seriously change all of the keyboard commands we have been using for years?

Cheers, Pete

This is the Del key on the numpad. It is usually shared with the numpad period key. You'll need Num Lock disabled.

According to the official forums, this is a known issue and they're looking into it at the moment.

A good guide to setting up controls is here:  Tutorial #2 - Peripheral Control Setup - Microsoft Flight Simulator - YouTube

Did you purchase the software through Steam?

I knew there was a reason I hadn't posted here in over a year. Thankfully, 'Kapitan' has reminded me why.

This forum used to be like minded people discussing and helping and debating. There were no 'word not allowed gamer flame wars' like many forums I can name. Shame really......

"Rushed" is the word that comes to mind, I got access yesterday for the first time and was very disappointed to immediately notice bugs and issues.

The game seems nice though, a significant improvement over X-Plane, but far from perfect.

I need a better PC spec to be able to run it on good graphics though.

OK, knock off the arguments!

I am trying to be better than that but I have had enough of the folks who think they are "helping" by providing responses such as the one above. It is completely unhelpful and not necessary.
