Where do I put this file that I downloaded. I tried putting in the 2024 Community folder and got an "unsuspected error" message. Disregard. I didn't download the Main File.

MSFS 2024 has left me behind. Been flight simming since the beginning, but now the price to run 2024 is too much for me. I have a low to medium system which runs 2020 with medium to high settings with ho problems, I can run 2024 with low to medium settings but only GA planes. Large airliners will not run. AI gave me my best settings which helped, but said I need a new graphics card. I have a GTX1660ti. The price for what I would need is way more than I can afford. So, as much as I prefer 2024, I will have to continue to use 2020.

I also have this problem. I look down to check on something, then go back and I'm way off course. I have a switch set on my flight yoke for left/right yaw but it does nothing. Very aggravating.

I did that first thing, and it is definitely a lot better than the Asobo. A lot smoother. Thanks

I had never heard of DCS World until now. I downloaded and installed it. I saw the P51D listed at $24.95. Question: Can this be used in MSFS 2024, or it only fpr DCS?

Thank you for this very detailed explanation. Roy

Thanks for the responses. I read where the P51s flew escort for the allied bombers making missions into Germany during ww2. I won't to recreate that and find out how much fuel they had when they returned. Also a factor would be if they had dog fights over Germany which would use up valuable fuel. Were they flying on fumes on return?

I'm a WW2 airplane enthusiast and have tried several different ones with not so good results. Any suggestions as to what is the best, either payware or freeware? Roy

Never mind, I've got it from YouTube.

Using G1000. On RNav approach. AP and VNav on and lining up for landing. When do I hit the approach button?

I recently uninstalled 2020 to free up some space. Then decided to reinstall it because I bought a new SSD. Just keep in mind if you do this that it takes forever to reinstall 2020. An all day download, then to the Content Manager with all those world updates and other stuff you may want. It doesn't affect 2024 in any way just being there. Also takes forever to boot up.

I haven't seen that but turning two story houses, in subdivisions. to multistory buildings is a turnoff. I guess they need zoning codes in their algorithm,

Thanks Ryan. I had never tried ai but took your suggestion with my specs. The answer was instantaneous. Plus some suggestions of how to make it even better. Roy

Just purchased and installed the A2A Comanche 250 after reading all these favorable posts. My first payware plane. I am truly amazed. For me, this changes the sim from a game to a flight simulator.

I hate to confuse the issue here, but I'm running a low to medium setup (see specs below) with a nVidia 1660ti graphics card, and I just made a test flight at KLAX. I just clicked KLAX in the Arrival space and started in the air in the Boeing 737 MAX. I circled the field once then lowered my altitude and made a perfect landing, all smooth as silk with no stutters, pauses or anything that was not normal. Go Figure?

In my case it was my virus protection that was blocking it. Roy

Thanks Bob. Works like a charm.

For about a week or so when I hit "Quit to Desktop" it closes the window, but the sim is still running in the background. When I go to XBox to open it, it says it is already running, but no sim is displayed. The only way I can close it by using the Task Manager. Anyone else having this, and how can I fix it. Roy

They did it to make the sim playable for XBox. This YouTube video explains how the new LOD works. MSFS 2024 SDK Tutorial - The "new" LOD Selection system, by Federico Pinotti. Need a button to switch settings for PC or XBox.

An easier way that I use to practice landings is to enter the airport where you want to land in the Arrival space. Don't put anything in the Departure space. Then press Start Flight. It will set you up in line with the runway and far enough out so you can make the landing. The beauty of this is that you can go to different airports and not just one you have saved in the other method. Roy

I've got the 2024 version and I really like it for my low and slow flying. The only bug I've noticed is that the magneto switch works backwards. Also, I'd like to know where I would go to download any updates to fix the things that have been reported. Thanks, Roy

Great idea for my flying. I'm a low and slow scenery GA flyer. I always start on the runway so I don't have to go through all that startup procedure. But then I miss seeing the terminal and surrounding scenery and being able to taxi out to the runway. So now I can begin my flight in the terminal area with it running and I don't want to use CTL-E.

A little off topic but I have the Cessna 182Q and the key switch seems to be working backwards. You turn it right to make it go left, and vice versus.

Just checked out the Augusta National Golf Club, site of today's Masters Tournament. The fairways and greens which are usually pristine have waist high weeds in the sim. I suspect all golf courses are this way. I know my local one is.

Just wondering if a touchscreen monitor can be used in MSFS 2024 to press the buttons and flip the switches in the cockpit of the plane. Would be more realistic than using the mouse.
