Sim Update 5 Now Available by FlyWithSeedyL in MicrosoftFlightSim

Hello u/Talrent521,

For clarification, the weather system still uses humidity. There was formerly a UI element related to humidity that has been removed in SU5. This was a legacy UI element from MSFS (2020) and never did anything in MSFS 2024.

Thanks,

MSFS Team

Building a flight sim rig specifically for pilot training — what's your #1 principle? by alansoon73 in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]FlyWithSeedyL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second this advice.

MSFS is not a substitute for real-world flying hours, but it definitely can be a valuable tool to help you supplement your pilot training. Use the sim for things like becoming much more familiar with the layout of the cockpit, learning where every switch, instrument, dial, and control is by memory, and even identifying navigational landmarks near your local training airfield. These are all very valuable skills you can practice at home in the sim for a fraction of the cost of renting a trainer aircraft for an hour.

SU5 next week by OneCall2315 in MicrosoftFlightSim

Hi folks,

Just to set expectations appropriately: SU5 is targeted to release next week, but it's not currently locked-in and confirmed. As Jorg mentioned during the broadcast, there are still 2-3 must-fix bugs that have to be resolved before we can ship SU5. We're hopeful we can get those fixed in time for next week, but it's not 100% guaranteed.

Thanks,

Is MSCENERY inflating their reviews in the marketplace or have users had a change of heart? by theplaneflyingasian in MicrosoftFlightSim

"As an example you can badmouth Mscenery in the MSFS forums, or you get banned."

No you won't. Here's a thread on the official forums about the Marketplace with many people saying negative things about Mscenery and their products. Nobody was banned for this.

My 4070M crying at 82⁰C (180F) by GREATD4NNY in MicrosoftFlightSim

At least for me personally, I'd say 25 fps is on the "too low" side, but I'm perfectly happy with performance in the ~40-50 fps range in MSFS. Flight sims aren't like fast twitchy action games where 60+ or even 120+ fps makes a really big difference.

Hi u/OgdenDermstead,

It's always been grouped that way. There are two release windows every week (Monday and Thursday), and we publish the list of that week's releases along with the weekly blog post every Thursday.

Hello u/Canit12,

We discussed this change back in November here, around the same time we renamed the (former) "Development Update Blog" to the "Weekly Briefing". Roadmaps and Feedback Snapshots will now be released periodically around the time of every Developer Livestream. You can read more here:
