    Re: Any Microsoft Flight Simulator Fans Here?

    Thanks bro I’m about to change the control right now

    MSFS2020 was the first flight sim that I ever played. When it first came out it was really hard for me as well. The one thing I did was use one plane and get used to it. I started with the small planes exclusively such as the cessna. I watched a lot of youtube videos and practiced and did the training that they have available. Once I got good I moved onto the A320 and learned how all the instruments work. In reality, the A320 was the easiest for me to fly once I learned how the Auto pilot works and once you learn how to set up your flight plan. The plane basically fly's by itself.

    If you are using a controller, try playing with the controller sensitivity a bit. Here is what I have my controller set to. I use my controller once in a while but I use the Thrustmaster TCA Sidestick ( http://www.thrustmaster.com/products...airbus-edition ) when im flying the A320

    My Controller Sensitivity settings:



    Hope that helps and stick with it. It is quite satisfying and enjoyable once you get the hang of all the controls and how the planes handle.

            It's really hard. The biggest thing I've learned is once you are at the proper speed and over the runway, you basically just let the plane land itself, with a little bit of flare at the end if you need it.

              Do the training programs if you haven’t already. One thing I was having trouble with was getting low and slow on my approach. It’s fun to come in high and fast, but when you glide in at under 100 knots that’s when you’re gonna have your best shot. Once you’re close to the ground you shouldn’t be much more than 65 knots depending on the plane of course. You also want to lift up a little right before landing in order to take off any excess speed.

                The real time time is really cool. I started a Orlando to Tampa flight last night in the dark. I paused it because it got late and resumed it when I got home today and it was daylight. Now the sun is setting as I’m flying. Looks cool.

                  I'm getting better and further each flight. I kept crashing due to overstressing aircraft. I was just about to Tampa Intl and the game kicked me out back to the desktop.

                    Anyone who has this on the PC ever try the Skypark add on? It is from Orbx and it adds so much depth to the game and gives your flights objectives.

                    Skypark App:



                    Flight from Mexico to Texas to deliver the "goods"

                      Skypark is new so it’s lacking a lot of content some others offer, but it’s definitely one of the nicer ones. I like Neofly, but tons of good options

                        Is anyone else losing ability to adjust throttle mid flight? Twice I flew 747 and couldn't adjust it with either keyboard, controller, or flight stick. In the beginning I could but not after flying for awhile.

                          Saw a rainbow flying in the clouds in Alaska. Didn’t know the game had rainbows.

                              So far loving the sim on my Series S. Mostly the Cessna 152 and AirbusA320. Tried the Boeing Dreamliner and about 30 minutes into the flight, it said I over stressed the air plane. No clue how that happened or what exactly caused it. Lol

                              Did hook a mouse up to the Series S for cockpit navigation and to toggle switches. Trying to actually toggle all switches and throttles instead of pressing a button on controller.

                              Decided to fly at night for first time tonight, from Louisville to Indianapolis. That was cool. Think it might be time to upgrade to the Thrustmaster Hotas One X.

                                When you see a landmark when you are flying what are you suppose to do ? I’m trying to do discovery mode and I’m kinda confuse what the object of what I’m suppose to do
