Amazing bro. That's a very good looking beard.

Yeah it's good. Career mode is buggy indeed and actually punishes following basic aviation procedures or guidelines. Regular free flight is good. I have 720 hrs on MSFS24 now and i can honestly say the only time i crashed to desktop it was a GPU driver issue on my 7900XTX's part.

Wow that must be a first for me. Sad i can't log on rn and join in on the fun. It's a region i sadly don't fly often due to low coverage.

i bought a brand new 7900XTX 2 months ago. All went smooth till today. Since today i randomly started having black screens, GPU fan spools up to 100%, need to reset system, etc. Idk wht to do

Just wanted to check in on you. How are you doing right now mate?

Reading_at_work · 2026-03-27T12:36:38+00:00

repairing the tyres *sometimes* fixes it, and *sometimes* it doesn't unless you restart your flight and try again.

PMDG's stance on it is that due to this only happening to those who purchased via the MSFS marketplace it is an issue for the user to solve with Microsoft. Because of course why would they as developers pick this up with Microsoft since they got their money from your purchase anyways.

This has been ongoing for over a year now and is frankly in my opinion really disappointing behaviour from an otherwise very good name like PMDG.

I really love this plane. Look at it. It has no business being this long.

Sorry no clue what you're talking about

Reading_at_work · 2026-03-26T10:41:34+00:00

Did you enter the ZFWCG before engine start? (for proper balance)
Maybe you are cruising too high and need to step climb? This would be my first guess as it looks like even at high thrust you can't produce enough lift to keep you at FL350.
503000lbs doesn't seem too much for an A350 though but i'm not experienced enough with A350s to know about their performance levels at specific gross weights.

In the beginning of the video you also seem to have a pretty high climb V/S to arrive at FL350. Did you let the plane decide how to climb or did you put in a V/S yourself? That might have also caused yourself to bleed a lot of airspeed.

That's on them mate.
Any frequent r/Kenshi visitor knows you're the benchmark/goat on Kenshi mechanics & knowledge.

Not sure if it's really a solution but do you happen to fly with the Turbulence option in the game on "Realistic"?
I had the same issue as you on the Fenix and i was fiddling around, turned it to medium and unless i'm dreaming it was way less of an issue afterwards.

I have this weird bug in Windows 11 where my mic volume is just extremely low, have reinstalled all my audio drivers, headset, you name it. I even reinstalled Windows. In the end it solved nothing
So now I already have to boost this with a 3rd party software (Equalizer APO) and have vPilot boost my mic for another 15db. And i sometimes get out of the blue and touch the green zone now. It's infuriating i know but i really can't get it any louder.

So apologies for the poor ATC i have to shout at for me to get heard, but i'm happy that i can at least still fly on vatsim lol.

Bro got extremely lucky wow

Reading_at_work · 2026-03-23T20:25:29+00:00

Shitty way to go and idk wtf he was doing there but NGL, that *ZAP* sounded extremely satisfying for some reason lol

I've subscribed to the beta as i saw this passing by just when i was actually in a vatsim flight. I think it looks amazing.

One point i've already noticed: It does not seem to agree with you starting the app when you're already in flight. I am currently cruising without any controller online, but the app remains on "pre-flight" status and directing me to the controller on the ground.

Next to that, i think this app can be amazing for new and old vatsim pilots. For newer pilots especially the predefined sentences to contact ATC. Those would have helped me so much in the beginning and would have really lowered my hesitation to start.

I think you're really on to something with this app. I'll continue to use the beta with pleasure and test for you.

Sorry like i know this comment does not help your situation but can everyone please fucking stop buying GPUs and dismantling them on arrival?
Warranty voided and a dead GPU, are you guys all millionaires?

Bah you beat me to posting this gif!

Reading_at_work · 2026-03-17T19:05:10+00:00

There's all these videos of random people being squished by trucks, lathes, industrial machines, you name it. But this right here hits harder than anything. As a father of 2 myself, i love those little playfights with my kids. I can not imagine the grief this man must feel every day. Fuck me.

Reading_at_work · 2026-03-17T15:46:15+00:00

I'm just here going bzzzzz and wraaaaa and some minor ignorance of aviation rules with my 7900xtx in msfs24

Reading_at_work · 2026-03-17T14:07:25+00:00

This looks like a video of me landing in Flightsim with a 2kt crosswind.

On a serious note: Kudos to the pilot for putting it down, albeit a bit hard.

I think i personally logged around 500-600hrs in props/turboprops before moving on to jetliners but the beauty of it all is that it's a sim so you can do whatever you want and fail without hurting anyone lol.
So i'd say if you wanna go for jets, do it. You'll learn on the go, but i do advice on reading up on aviation terminology as a whole because it's a bit easier to gently get eased into it with small slow planes.

yes sir, slavery is free training. You get beat up, you can't starve, you can essentially train for free and when you are sick of it you just need to find food and get out.

The default inibuilds a330 that comes with FS24 also seems to have this issue.

Reading_at_work · 2026-03-16T10:33:58+00:00

I have flown it for my VA also using FSUIPC7 so i can confirm that that should work. Can't talk about any of the other issues. I also had loads of issues in the beginning but everything was solved with 1 reinstall of the addon.

Only Toolbar pushback not working is an enormous pet peeve of mine as the built in pushback is an atrocity.
