Hello,

Today, I removed MSFS2020, bought MSFS 2024.
Installation was really fast.
I did a very simple IFR flight using the Da62.
No issue. ( I do follow MSFS2024 topics from the beginning, the negative comments have not discouraged me, I know that there will always be dissatisfied people)
I am naturally positive !

I try to find free manuals to start. I really prefer pdf files to YouTube videos.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Note : Later, I will probably buy a book. Comments found on the Amazon website for  "MSFS 2024 Beginners Quick Guide"
for example are mostly negative.
Can you also suggest me a good book ?

Bonnes fêtes de fin d'année à tous.

 

Good for you!

 

I think we go through this every time anything new comes out. Have to have patience while the bugs get worked out, and they will enough make it a very nice sim experience.

Unfortunately, we live in times when a half-page text instruction is replaced by a dozen of half-hour Youtube videos 😔 Some of the stock aircrafts have manuals here

Hmm, I know what you mean.

I recently bough Sublogic flight sim 2 for the Commodore 64 off eBay just so I could read the quality physical manuals that came in the box again.

They're actually really good books to introduce people to the basics of real flight and simulation alike.

i still have the Sublogic ATP manual on my shelf.

Thanks.
What I try to find is a manual covering the simulator interface itself.
Learning by trials is empirical and takes longer!
At a minimum, a pdf summarizing the possibilities would be welcome.
Gone are the days when our software came with a printed booklet.
Even if it became obsolete after updates, it remained useful because we could annotate our remarks there.

I have just ordered this book :
https://www.amazon.fr/dp/B0DPL2MLB1?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title

I will receive it January the 6th (very soon)
No French version, but I can read and understand English.

Take to the skis with confidence: The Ultimate Guide to Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024

I wish you luck! It's his first book also maybe English not his first language either.

Just do yourself one favor. DO NOT switch your controls profile from the 2024 control set to the 2020 control set.

While that will change most of the key and control bindings to what they were in 2020, the 2020 control profile messes up all of the bindings for the user interface (MSFS2024 menus, etc.). You can still work through the menus using the mouse, but it is a pain in the you know what not having proper the keyboard assignments. 

Another good way to learn a new airplane is use the checklist in the EFB.  By clicking the eye it will show you what to click next.  Better than trying to remember all those steps on YouTube.
