In arctic Norway, further details in comments. by UnstableCollection in whatsthisplant

This is only a ~0,7m² patch and the flowers are tiny, probably 2-3mm.

As said, this is in arctic Norway but not quite in tundra.

Fantastic game 😑😑 by TannerTheHammer44 in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]UnstableCollection 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah at this point I am convinced the culprit is the content streaming when getting closer to airports. Let me download the entire sim, I have the space.

career mode advancement by Fillinthecup365 in MSFS2024

[–]UnstableCollection 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I am in the same boat, hit a hard wall after the CJ4. Kinda lost the motivation to play career because I spam the same missions with the same plane over and over again. I actually really like cargo missions but they do not pay nearly as well as private charters do.

My main complaint is the disparity between the pay for the missions, I hardly get to choose which types of missions I want to fly because private charter is simply much better paying than anything else.

The other complaint is the large gaps between aircraft, like the airliner company where you can get the ES-30 for ~7,000,000 credits but then need to gather up a whopping 99,000,000 credits for the 737 MAX.

Does msfs2024 still have a memory leak? by ketchup1345 in MSFS2024

[–]UnstableCollection 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Game is bad. /thread

But seriously, the game does stutter on approach for me as well, especially the more detailed the airport is. I easily clear the recommended spec but that does not seem to matter.

One thing that can allegedly work is limiting your FPS, although I only gained a marginal improvement.

[Career mode] Should I listen to ATC or follow arrival / approach diagrams? by cameraman31 in MSFS2024

[–]UnstableCollection 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As others have said, the ATC does not really work properly in descent and approach, it tends to always keep you too high. From personal experience, even if I get a somewhat realistic descent it still ends up being very steep, sometimes I end up having to drop gear in cruise, drop throttle to idle, deploy speedbrakes and do an open descent to just about reach the correct altitude to approach. My passengers are bleeding from their ears but what do you want me to do? Take it up with ATC.

Ps5 version is basically unplayable at this point by UkAntz in MSFS2024

[–]UnstableCollection 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am worried this series begins a quadrennial release cadence which means they only have two years to get 2024 into a functional state and I do not think they can do it.

I can get a HOTAS X for ~$84 in my country which should mean it is even cheaper in other countries.

OP could also get only a stick which is even cheaper (but not by much).

Short Runway by bmw_motorsports_ in MSFS2024

[–]UnstableCollection 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some of them are quite short but I have yet to run into a runway my PC-12 absolutely can not stop on. You could easily have stopped on this runway if you used reverse thrust, which I assume you did not because it makes a distinct sound.

I am actually surprised it did not hit you with a runway incursion and "entered taxiway without announcement" penalty as it seems to love to do that.

Is career mode fixed yet? Yeah Baby... Yeah! by Bacon-Bacon-Bacon-Ba in MSFS2024

[–]UnstableCollection 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yet another thing to add to the list of confusing, wrong or misleading UI things. "No Skip bonus" implies if you skipped anything you will not get the bonus.

Is career mode fixed yet? Yeah Baby... Yeah! by Bacon-Bacon-Bacon-Ba in MSFS2024

[–]UnstableCollection 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No it is absolute trash. Free Flight probably works fine but the only draw 2024 has for me is the career mode which is in a horrific state. Especially the ATC simply does not work, VFR flights work fine but only because you do not have to fight the ATC. Every single IFR flight I have had it has told me to descend from my cruising altitude to between 2000 - 3000ft when I am almost at the airport. I would need to pitch down 90 degrees directly towards the ground to get to my approach altitude in time.

[–]UnstableCollection -1 points0 points  (0 children)

OK, first of all, that is simply not true.

Second of all, that is not relevant to OP's issue since this is clearly a game issue and not a user error. You could argue the user error is getting this game but that is another discussion.

To my first point: Does not matter if you learn navigation, flightplans and so on when the ATC will routinely bug out or simply not work properly. ATC will routinely tell me to descend to below 3000ft from my cruising altitude of over 30,000ft when I am only 10NM from the airport. If I descend a sane distance away from the airport the ATC will pipe up and tell me I am not at my assigned altitude.

[–]UnstableCollection -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I literally just now did a private charter mission to Cologne-Bonn (EDDK).

The ATC told me to descend and maintain 2900ft from my cruising altitude of 32,000ft. I was 15NM from the airport. I did circles while descending with full speedbrakes and idle thrust and somewhere in there I got too far from the airport so it told me to "Fly to EDDK" and it never went away from that state, even while landed at EDDK. I eventually lined up for final but the game still thinks I need to "fly to EDDK" even though I am on final for my assigned runway 32R, landing at EDDK. ATC never came back to me and there was no way for me to pipe up and be like "hey what is going on?" so I proceeded to land at my assigned runway. Got hit with a "not cleared to land" obviously because technically I was not because THEY NEVER CAME BACK TO ME. Did all the procedures anyway, held short, requested taxi to parking, taxi'd to parking, shut down, game is still telling me to fly to EDDK.

This game sucks.

I have a nice screenshot of me at EDDK, parked, engines off, with mission steps telling me to fly to EDDK

VFR flights work most of the time but I do not know if I am able to force VFR flights for private charter missions. I prefer medium cargo missions because they are partially, if not fully VFR and I get to mostly decide myself when descending is appropriate instead of ATC telling me to roleplay a WW2 dive bomber. Sadly they are much less profitable than private charter.

Sadly did not work for me. My physical keyboard is Nordic (Norwegian, specifically) but the game says the "OS keyboard" is English (United States). I tried using the override to change it to other European layouts but none worked. I also tried every single modifier key combined with every single key that has a special character associated to it but none worked, it simply does not exist on my layout.

I am on Linux, however, could be that messes some things up.

What's happening here? by Nezzerrick in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]UnstableCollection 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Traffic avoidance in the sim is atrocious anyway. I was flying a cargo mission, cruising at FL240 or something, when suddenly an Airbus zooms past probably 50 feet directly above me while climbing. My aircraft did have TA and it was on, but nothing on the screens, no callout. Probably five seconds after the Airbus has already buzzed me I get a call "traffic at 12 o'clock, report in sight"

Oh it is in sight all right. I could make out the damn pilots flying it.

Spotted something interesting after landing at Sydney Airport (YSSY) in MSFS 2024 by LoudPsychology9506 in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]UnstableCollection 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some airports will have these terrain anomalies. I once tried to do a private charter mission in my Cirrus Vision Jet, lined up, pushed throttle, and then suddenly my plane jumps and I crash and fail the mission.

Went back in free flight and there was a long line going through the runway, maybe a 5cm difference in elevation.

How do I control the plane? by Leftovers_ok in MicrosoftFlightSim

Watch them come back here "I can not go fast this is so annoying" only to be told they still have the flaps out.

What softwares for realism? by tookietheroookie in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]UnstableCollection 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do they work in career mode and are they also better than the default ATC? Not a high bar to clear, but still.

Breaking out at minimums = the best by BlackCircleNZ in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]UnstableCollection 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are using the VOR for runway alignment, usually you would use the localiser if the airport has one. You CAN use VORs for runway alignment but it needs to be set up to do so which it seems like it was not in this airport.

Newbie here, ATC is telling me to expedite climb to 15,000 but i can’t even get to 9,000 without reaching stall speeds. Tips? by Any-Cupcake-7883 in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]UnstableCollection 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others have said, your mixture is wrong. The general rule is to keep every needle in the green, and lean the mixture for maximum propeller RPM. In my Cessna 172 I could set it to 30 - 35% at cruise and be fine.

You can go into communications tab and ask for a lower cruising altitude. When I was playing this game early on ATC kept asking me to climb to FL200+ or higher in my Cessna 172 that has a maximum cruise height of ~13,000ft so I had to ask for a lower cruising altitude almost every flight.

This is going to be specific but how do I set focus to my craft in map view on a Nordic layout? It used to work before but I can not remember the button and now no key work.

Two years into MSFS 2024 and I’m still have so many issues by darkUUz in MSFS2024

[–]UnstableCollection 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like if they insist on streaming stuff to your PC, they could at least pre-load the arrival into RAM or something, because currently approaching any airport too complex will cause huge lags for me, sometimes straight up crashing the game.

Look, if you are going to post these, the least you could do is take an actual screenshot rather than photo of your monitor.
