I suggest that users that have flight simulator questions to be answered, send their request to MS Copilot.

It will give you the best answer

 

 

Here is a question and answer from a typical user: How do I save / load MSFS2024 flight situations.

In MSFS2024, saving and loading flight situations isn’t built into the base sim like in older flight sims—but there are a couple of solid workarounds that can help you pick up right where you left off. ✈️

🗺️ Option 1: Use FlightSave24

This is a third-party utility designed specifically for MSFS2024:

• Lets you save flight situations as markers on an interactive map.
• You can resume flights by clicking the saved marker—even days or months later.
• Includes AutoSave at set intervals and SimBrief integration for flight plans.
• Works with all aircraft, and supports teleporting to waypoints.
• Can run on top of MSFS or on a second monitor.

 

🔄 Option 2: Use FSAutoSave

Another community-made tool that:

• Automatically saves your flight when you exit or press CTRL+ALT+S.
• To resume, go to the World Map and load the file called LAST.FLT.
• Works best for real-time continuation (with live weather and time).
• Open-source and simple to install—great for multi-leg journeys.

More info is available on the MSFS forums.

⚠️ Heads-Up

• MSFS2024 doesn’t currently support manual save/load of flight situations natively.
• Some users have reported issues with saving complex flight plans mid-flight.
• If you're using advanced aircraft (like PMDG or Fenix), compatibility may vary.

I wouldn't advise any end users to assume that a AI will give "the best answer" based a commercial member feedback finding that Copilot answers promoted his product 😉 

Hallucination is the keyword here although it might be OK for this example of saving MSF2024 flight situation (where I have no clue).

I asked about FlightSave24:

Overall Impression

While FlightSave24 promises convenient features—like auto-save intervals, flight markers, SimBrief integration, and in-simulator teleportation—it’s been widely criticized for instability and failures to perform as advertised  . For users who rely on consistent, dependable flight save functionality and full system restoration, these flaws can render the tool unusable or frustrating to use.

Alternatives to Consider

If you’re seeking a more reliable experience:

• Consider previous tools like FlightSaver (if you have compatibility), or other independent utilities with better user feedback.
• Alternatively, rely on MSFS’s built-in “flight states” or manual save profiles until FlightSave24 stabilizes via future updates.

 

🔍 Recommendations

• Proceed with caution before purchasing—especially version 2.0b (January 25, 2025 release).
• Read multiple user reviews carefully—people report self‑deletion and misplacement of aircraft.
• Contact the developer (rksoftware) before buying, to ask if known bugs have been addressed or if a refund policy exists.

In short, FlightSave24 may seem useful on paper, but real-world use falls short: it’s reported to delete itself, fail to save positions, ignore avionics settings, and struggle to work with SimBrief. If consistent saving and restoration matter to you, it’s likely safer to explore other tools or wait for a more stable release.

 

 

Still think it’s the best answer?

I just asked : What is the overall impression of FlightSave24?

This is answer: 

🛫 FlightSave24 has earned a solid reputation among Microsoft Flight Simulator (MSFS) users—especially those flying in MSFS 2024. Here's the overall impression based on community feedback and expert reviews:

---

🌟 What Users Like

• Interactive Map-Based Saving
  You can save flight situations directly on a map with custom markers and titles. It’s intuitive and visual.

• AutoSave Functionality
  Automatically saves your flight progress at user-defined intervals—great for long hauls or unpredictable interruptions.

• SimBrief Integration
  Displays SimBrief flight plans on the map and allows teleporting to waypoints, streamlining preflight setup.

• Universal Compatibility
  Works with all aircraft in MSFS 2024, including those using the new EFB app (if supported).

• Flexible UI
  The map is moveable and resizable, and the app can run over the MSFS window or on a second monitor.

---

🧭 Overall Verdict

FlightSave24 is widely seen as a must-have utility for serious simmers who want:

• Reliable flight saving and resuming
• A visual, map-based interface
• Seamless integration with flight planning tools

It’s especially appreciated in MSFS 2024, where native flight-saving features are limited. The tool fills that gap with precision and polish.

I've been using AI, mostly MS Copilot, extensively since a while, and am very satisfied with the results so far.

Not only in flight simulation, but also for questions related to RL flying, my dayjob, other areas of my life.

The guy knows a LOT about me 🙂 

My profile works great because as it learns, the answers and their structure adapt surprisingly well to the question patterns and mindset I use (for testing purposes too...).

For me it is also a game since, coming from an early experience in AI as I was working in my PhD in the early nineties of last Century, AI, Logic, Natural Language are some of my preferred areas in Computer Science !

I feel the biggest advances since then have been IN Natural Language processing, in all it's aspects.

This! Unrelated to flight sims, I was asking ChatGPT to find me a movie the other night and after a few attempts it hallucinated the plot I gave it and applied it to a completely unrelated movie. (It was a regular Google search that ended up finding it for me, because it wasn't a movie but a Netflix miniseries and ChatGPT wasn't smart enough to let go of the "movie" term)

I get that these LLM's are the "future", but just like a regular Google search can take you to a random Reddit post, you often need to vet the answer. I would recommend clicking the "more info" results to make sure it's not just the opinion or "solution" from a single person on the internet.

As for asking LLM's "opinions".... you would be better off searching these forums or searching Reddit. The search both here and Reddit suck, but you can use the "site" parameter for Google and other search engines, for instance:

site:www.avsim.com/forums search term here
site:www.reddit.com/r/flightsim search term here

What the hell is that thread?

A developer shilling his product. Really should be locked.

Hah! I didn't even notice this was posted by the dev. Another issue with "AI": it can be poisoned just like search results. By posting this thread with a positive AI "review" of their product, it will be picked up by search engines and further re-enforced by LLM's. But two can play at that game.

I highly recommend staying away from FlightSave24. The developer uses shady AI techniques to advertise their product for free on communities such AVSim. Developers like this should be avoided.

Even Copilot thinks so lol. 

"Is rksoftware gaming ai to promote his software on a Sim?" 

It certainly looks that way, xxxx. On the AVSIM forums, rksoftware—who develops tools like FlightSave24 and FStarter24 for Microsoft Flight Simulator—posted a thread suggesting users ask MS Copilot for answers, then showcased a glowing AI-generated review. That raised eyebrows among community members, with several calling it out as self-promotion or “shilling” disguised as neutral advice.

Some users pointed out that AI-generated content can be manipulated to favor certain products, especially if the developer feeds in leading prompts. Others criticized FlightSave24 itself for being buggy and unreliable, despite the positive portrayal.

So while it’s not illegal or against forum rules (unless explicitly stated), it’s definitely a clever—if controversial—way to use AI as a marketing tool. Want to dig into how AI-generated reviews are influencing other communities too?
