Hello, so long story short, last year I noticed that my GPU temps were high after I came back from leaving 2024 running and the computer was off. When I checked the items while running game I noticed I was getting temps as high as 220F. At the time, I was able to resolve the issue somewhat by undervolting the GPU and enabling Radeon Chill, though I think they were still a little high. Anyways it’s been awhile since I last played the game and somehow my GPU settings got reset, and the temps were high again (up to 224F). I have tried setting up the GPU again to what I think are the correct settings and I do think temps are a little better, but I’m not sure if I can trust it to run without gaining temp as the flight progresses without constantly monitoring the temps. I have included a few pics below that show the current GPU temps when flying around KLAX after a few mins, in the PMDG 777, along with the GPU undervolt and fan curve settings. Edit: I forgot to include in the pc specs. CPU: Ryzen 5 5500 GPU; Radeon RX 6600 16GB DDR4 Ram 2TB SSD https://imgur.com/a/gL9HLQC Thanks

Hello, so I see videos of people on YouTube who fly missions in MSFS 2024 where they fly an emergency helicopter to the scene of something like a vehicle accident, which appears visually in the game. How can I create my own mission in the sim and have all the objects like emergency vehicles and crashed cars appear in the game? I just want to make my own simple missions to fly. Thanks

Hello, I used to have some basic repainting skills for PMDG aircraft in P3D; however, I feel like it's harder to do so in the new sim. I am wondering if there is a place where I can ask if someone can make a livery for me for the PMDG 777. I know there is the repaint forum, but last time I checked it was dead. Thanks

Thanks unfortunately I don't remember why that is. Though I think I remember doing a flight or two in P3D, specifically in the 737, without issue.

I meant the 737 from PMDG isn't capable of flying over the North Pole in the sim. At least if I go with an airport in Europe, I will have better access to Africa as well.

Yeah, I have nothing against the Southern Hemisphere lol, I just prefer airports in northern North America or Europe. I like cold places.

Thanks, I will check it out. Does this airport have ILS ? I tried searching Google but couldn't tell.

No, it doesn't need to be in the US. I just prefer something in the northern hemisphere and with a long enough runway to handle long-distance flights. Also, I would want something with ILS so I can use autoland when needed. I do like the idea of Scandinavia, just not sure if there's anything besides the main airports like Oslo or Stockholm that have long enough runways with ILS..

Hello, I want to create a fictional livery for the PMDG 777 and 737 BBJ to simulate a personal aircraft, as if I owned them myself. I am looking for some recommendations for an airport to use that is within range of most other airports around the world. I might do some short flights, but I would also like to do some flights that really stretch the limits of the plane. Since I plan to simulate a privately owned aircraft, I plan to simulate lower weights to increase range. I was thinking of using Anchorage since I have the polar option with the 777, but the 737 in The Sim isn't capable of it. Either way I would need something with a long enough runway to handle ultra long flights with full fuel load So what would you're guys suggestions be? My home airport IRL is LAX. Thanks

Hello, I am trying to learn how to use the AGM-84H, and I am having an issue with trying to warm up the missile in the F/A-18. Basically, I arm the weapons and switch the plane to A/G mode. On the weapons stores page, I click the weapon button at the top left, and it starts the warm-up timer, counting down from 10 mins; however, for me, when it gets to 7:00 mins the timer goes away and the missile looks like it no longer warming up. Any ideas on what I might be doing wrong and how to get the missile to warm up and turn on? Thanks

So I mainly use SimBrief to plan my flights, and I know you can overlay SIGWX charts on the map to see certain weather conditions. But I am wondering, how you find the best altitudes for low winds and low turbulence? Thanks

Thank you, that really seemed to help. I went from temperatures of over 200 at the hotspot, and now they are closer to 160-170. I did try undervolting before, but I don't think I actually messed with any of the custom values, so maybe that's why it didn't work before. I am still wondering, though, if it's normal to have to undervolt the GPU just to prevent the temp from getting so high, or if that still indicates there is an issue with its ability to disperse the heat properly.

Hello, so I have a Radeon RX 6600, and earlier this year I ran into an issue where I was playing Flight Simulator 2024, and I left the room for a little bit, and when I came back, my pc was off. Then, a couple of weeks later I noticed my computer was off when I woke up and wouldn't turn on. I took it to a repair place and they said that the MB had gone bad and replaced it with a new one. After I got the computer again, I decided to start checking the temps of everything, and I noticed that when I loaded the flight sim, my GPU hotspot temp would shoot up immediately and sometimes go as high 220-230F even when just in the menu but the GPU temp itself would only hover around 150F. From what I understand, this problem could be caused by the thermal paste no longer being effective; however I had only had the computer for about a year and a half and some things I have read say that it would take much longer for the paste to go bad. The other thing is that the issue really only seems to happen with the flight sim I play such as MSFS 20202/2024 and DCS world. I have played other fairly modern games like RDR 2, and I don’t seem to have this issue. I guess, before I go taking it apart and putting on new thermal paste, I just wanted to check if anything else might be causing the issue or anything else I should check. All the case fans seem to be working and I don’t see much dust inside either. I also tried undervolting the GPU as well as changing the fans so they come on earlier and run faster but that didn’t seem to make much difference. So, is there anything else I can check or do before taking it apart and putting new paste on? For now, I have enabled Radeon Chill, which seems to help in 2020 so at least I can fly in it, but it has little effect in 2024, which I have been scared to use as I don't want to risk any damage to the GPU. I would really love to be able to play 2024 again, especially with the Blackbird being released. Thanks

Hello, when I used P3D, I was able to create a custom STAR for an airport and have it display in the FMC. I want to do the same in MSFS and could use some help. I see the format has changed and is now a SQL database, and after looking around the file, I think I have a general idea of how it's set up and what I need to do to add my own procedures into the database; however, there are a few columns I am confused about what to put. For example, I plan to create my own waypoints that are not in the database using coordinates from Google Earth. I see some waypoints have a code of K1, K2, and so on, and I am not sure what code I would need to put for the waypoints. The other columns I need help with are: Type Usage Route Type waypoint description Path Termination. Does anyone know what I need to put in the various columns I listed? Thanks

Hello, my current GPU is a Radeon RX 6600. For some reason, when I run MSFS 2024, the hotspot temperature on my GPU jumps as high as 224°F, even when I'm just in the main menu, and I'm unsure what is causing it. The weird thing is, I can load 2020 at KLAX in the PMDG 777, and yet the GPU temp stays around only 130-140°F even after a few minutes, but if I load 2024, it seems to immediately cause the temp to jump, which I can feel coming from the PC and will drop immediately as soon as I exit the game. I know logic would suggest that it could be a problem with the thermal paste not being as effective on the heatsink for the GPU, but I don't get why the problem doesn't happen in 2020 as well, since the temps don't get anywhere near as hot. Any suggestions? Thanks
