r/Flightsimulator2020

Hello reddit,

I'm trying to figure out what's going on with the night illumination in MSFS 2024. The scene look unnatural, like some sort of "infrared vision" scheme. This is default MSFS 2024, no graphics mods or anything. In MSFS 2020, the same location at the same local time looks much natural-looking, with sky glow being more noticeable and the ground darker (as it should be).

Please advise what could be causing this!

MSFS 2024 night scene in X63. All aircraft lights turned off.

MSFS 2020 night scene in X63. All aircraft lights turned off.

Preferably a digital encoder type one that can be mounted to a rig.

There seems to be a lot online ranging uo to 150 bucks

Thnx.

I’m a pilot and developer and got tired of paying for ForeFlight every year, so I built my own. It’s called GoFly EFB and it’s completely free. No subscription, no app store, just a browser tab.

Been working on it for a while and it’s gotten to a point where I actually use it for my own flying, so figured I’d share it here.

It has pretty much everything you’d expect from a full EFB and then some. Flight planning, moving map with sectional charts, live traffic, airport info, IFR plates, SIDs, STARs, procedures, NOTAMs, FBO info, logbook, weather cams, vessel tracking, natural hazards, SIGMETs, AIRMETs, PIREPs and TFRs. Full E6B suite covering wind correction, density altitude, true airspeed, fuel planning, weight and balance, time/speed/distance and pressure altitude. Planning tools built in so you can do your entire preflight workflow in one place without jumping between apps and websites.

Weather layers and models are extensive. Radar, satellite, wind, rain, temperature, clouds, pressure, CAPE and model selection across GFS, ECMWF, GEM, JMA, ICON-Global, ICON-EU, ICON-D2, NAM, HRRR and National.

I keep adding stuff and have no intention of paywalling anything. The whole point was to build something the community can actually use for free instead of dropping $200+ a year on ForeFlight. Features are not limited and I’m not stopping anytime soon.

Works on any browser, any device. Android users this one’s especially for you since ForeFlight never cared about you.

Would love honest feedback from actual pilots on what’s missing, broken, or could be better.

So I have a couple things, first when I load into the sim and input my flight, the Sid and the star are completely off track from what I’m flying on and it’s the same one from the plan it created for me. Second, I some help because my autopilot on the PMDG 777 will not go the the altitude of the pints that I created and I have the manually do the all altitude and have the start the descent with all those points, it’s gets pretty frustrating because I cant really descend properly, u don’t really know when to do it. Or do I always have to manually do that? Thanks.

Hello, been pulling my hair out with MSFS2020 trying to load, the blue loading line stops. I have tried everything I have read and seen online but it still gets stuck, no sim. I just want to fly my aeroplanes. I have spent more hours troubleshooting and researching than flying in the sim. Can anyone help me?? Ty

I couldn’t find an easy way to explore all the stock aircraft in MSFS 2020/2024 (filters, links, images in one place), so I ended up putting together a small tool for it.

Sharing it here in case it helps someone else as well.

If you want to try it: kapnoflyer.eu

I’d be curious to hear what features are missing or what could be improved.

Hey everyone, we are trying to gage whether having a realistic flight simulator would be great for students and locals. It would be appreciated (whether you’re interested or not) to fill out this brief survey so we can see what the community wants! Thank you!

Salve a tutti volevo chiedervi se su mfs2020 sarebbe meglio comprare l’aeroporto di Washington Dulles di Feelthere oppure quello di Glideslop Pro. Grazie
