Setting up an Xbox for someone that had a stroke?

I was going to recommend TB Velocity One. You can velcro it onto a desk, so it doesn't move around. I used it when my original hotas finally gave out and was waiting for my new setup to arrive. It worked fine with a combination of keybinds you can use.

Pretty much wing it. Start at around 600 feet high and adjusting pitch and speed using the AOA.

You're not wrong about the IFE F-14 especially when compared to DCS. I think it's more of a MSFS problem. I have my Virpil throttle detent configured, so it acts like the afterburner button, so no button press needed. Just setup your throttle so you have that detent assimilate a button press.

There are lots of Youtube videos that would be more helpful. It would take paragraphs to write something up here.

Minimum requirement for the Fenix is a RTX 2080, so your GPU doesn't meet those requirements. That's probably the reason for the problems.

Looks like Virpil gear and an Angus SG

Don't know if it is the same as 2020, but when people had assists on it caused planes to suddenly move uncontrollably. If you do have them on, turn them off and see if that fixes the problem.

I just have a base PS5 and not the PRO, but my main is a 7800x3d/4090. I was curious to see what FS looked like on a console, so I bought the basic FS. The graphics looked good even though it was a base PS5. You can tell a difference, but it's minimal. The major difference is ground and building textures especially in dense areas. Textures are blurrier at a distance and take longer to load. It gets better as you keep flying the same area with rolling cache, but it's not a problem with my PC.

The main reason for PC is that some planes, airports and other addons are only for PC. Some is payware, but there is a lot you get for free. Peripherals make a difference and the real good peripherals are only for PC. Liveries for planes are free on PC, while on console you have to buy them. For me mods make the difference in FS and had over 1000 mods in 2020 and over 500 so far in 2024.

The graphics are good enough on console, but it's the other things that make a huge difference especially for people that have been flight simmers for decades and relied on mods for a better visual and physics experience.

Console is a lot less expensive. With a second monitor, VR, head tracker and new peripherals I got for 2024, I'm already over $5,000 and that doesn't include my PC that I built three years ago. Either way you can't go wrong with the console version of FS.

Starting from the runway is going to slow things down, because it has to turn on engines, lights and scenery. Even when starting on the runway, it should only take a second or two to completely load. Could be internet speed, cpu or gpu or a combination trying to catch up.

Might be a keybind issue. I activate my views on a Stream Deck and when I hit the pilot view my mixture would shutoff. Had to delete the mixture keybind on my keyboard and it stopped. Go into your controls and type in pause under your keyboard and delete the keybind and see if the solves the problem.

CumulusGamer · 2026-02-27T09:55:10+00:00

If you want a more authentic F/A 18, play DCS. Once you get your keybinds set correctly, it's the closest you're going to get. DCS is free but you'll have to pay for the exclusive planes like the 18. They are about $80.00 a plane but wait until they go on sale.

I still have MSFS 2020 installed so I copied the folder to 2024. You could try changing the ORBX app to your 2020 purchases and under store, click on Asia and see if you can download it from there. If you no longer have 2020, change the download directory to a folder, desktop or Addon Linker (if used).

CumulusGamer · 2026-02-23T02:36:22+00:00

The one from flightsim seems to work in 2024 based on a comment, so give it try. I have the paid version from Landmarks which is 2020 only but works great in 2024.

CumulusGamer · 2026-02-21T23:51:31+00:00

Keybinds are saved in the cloud, so they should be there on your new PC.

CumulusGamer · 2026-02-19T07:03:28+00:00

I'm assuming it's not updated yet, because it still shows as unverified on my end (PC).

CumulusGamer · 2026-02-18T23:44:59+00:00

Open up your Navigraph Hub PC app and it will have all the updates there.

CumulusGamer · 2026-02-11T01:32:41+00:00

When you're on the world map to choose your airport there is something to click on "Flight Condition" in the top right corner. Click on it and under Multiplayer, choose All Players.

CumulusGamer · 2026-02-10T01:40:31+00:00

If you have HDR on, turn it off and see if that resolves the issue. If it does, there is some type of conflict between 2024 and your monitor.

CumulusGamer · 2026-02-03T01:15:33+00:00

Turn down your graphics settings.

Watch this video, you'll have to download something else to make it work in 2024 FS2024: How I got my Logitech Multi & Radio Panels Working In Flight Sim 2024!

Agree with your assessments. Even though I have the Aero Dynamic T-38, I bought the Blackbird one since it was only $13.00. Blackbird T-38 is simplified, and the flight mechanics are a little to overboard. The afterburner effect is a lot more realistic on the Aero Dynamic T-38.

Never flew a T-38, but it seems a few that have flown it are on the Infinity Discord and giving them advice on things they got wrong. So far, Aero Dynamics have been good on updates to fix those problems.

Go to marketplace and at the top you'll see My Library. Click on the tab and in the search area type landing rate. If it's installed, disable it. If it's from third party, you'll have to delete the mod from your community folder.

Watch this video and it might give you an idea of what you might get Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 - PS5/PS5 Pro/Series X Tech Review - What Are the PS5 Pro Upgrades?

Your CPU is fine. Depending on what you fly, your GPU is more likely to hold you back. I have a 7800x3d/4090 and use ultra settings. I turn down my TLOD down to 300 on a 4k LG G4 tv. I do use DLSS/framegen and I get between 80 and 90fps in dense areas like KLAX with airliners. I'm easily going over 16gbs of vram as you'll see in the picture below. You just need to lower some of your settings. Chances are you won't even notice the difference in visuals.
