How to select an airliner

Featured Replies

Today I was finally able to install MSFS2020. After loading DVDs for over 4 hours, the application installed correctly, updated and then opened to the selection screen. When I hit the "WORLD MAP" option I can select a free flight, but unfortunately only the Cessna and a turboprop can be selected for my first free flight. As I am a proficient B737 sim pilot, I rather try either the A320 or the 747 for a free flight. However, the "airliner" selection option is greyed out. As per the manual that comes with the disks I should be able to select from a list. In my case there is no such list, as said, only two aircraft (props) are available. Can anyone inform me what is causing this and how to resolve this issue?

Thanks a lot beforehand

Kind regards,
Hans van WIjhe

Have you done any of the tutorials? I'm not sure whether it locks them out until you've completed at least one.

No, I didn't do any of the tutorials. I don't feel like doing one, either 🙂 Is there a way to circumnavigate this requirement?

You should see more than two airplanes. Try watching one of Squirrel's videos.

I've no idea, i'm not even sure it is a requirement! 😄

The first one is over in a matter of minutes though, if that is what the issue is.
