Moved house recently and finally got the simpit set up, about to take my first flight in a while from Brum down to Alicante. Happy weekend flying all!!

Lost radio contact somewhere over the Caribbean. Next thing I know, there are wooden warships firing cannons at each other below me.

Requesting vectors back to the correct century.

After university I plan to begin flight school. I started playing this game about 4 months ago and honestly apart from some bugs here and there it’s been fantastic. I’ve been removing every assist available in the game to really get into the immersion. It truly improves the game and I advise everyone to do so. BUT the most important thing I started doing that has massively improved the immersion of this game for me is getting into doing the checklists myself. I mean cold and dark to start to take off to cruise to descent and all. This part of the game just hit me with one of the biggest lessons in aviation. FOLLOW THE CHECKLIST.
So I fell in love with flying the 737 max, I have all the other default airliners in the game and honestly I love the Boeing 737 max. It flies like a beauty and feels like I have more control.

So here the story begins. I had a flight from Miami to Manchester and I was doing my checklist. This was the first ever time I didn’t just use the shortcut button to get the plane started (737). I see this part of the preliminary preflight that says “set cruise altitude” me being naive I think they’re saying cruise altitude on the altitude selector so I ignore it and tick it. Everything goes smooth for the rest of the checklist and the flight begins.

About 15 mins into the flight I get a blaring warning. I’m panicking, I feel like I must’ve missed something in the checklist. Then I see it “CABIN ALTITUDE”, this is where all my knowledge of air crash investigation comes in. Remember when I said I ignored the set cruise and landing altitude in the checklist it hits me. I’ve certainly done something wrong. I immediately request from ATC a 10,000ft drop of flight altitude. We descend all the way down to 10,000 ft as fast as possible. At this point I’ve figured out how to fix the problem (picture in post), I change it but the alarm is still going. I have to then stay at 10,000 ft for a few minutes then I ascend again back to 35000 ft where the flight was set to be and the flight finishes with no issues.

Why am I telling this story you ask ?
Remember Helios flight 522, the ghost plane. That’s what happened to me. I hadn’t set the pressurization model selector to auto and I hadn’t set my cruise altitude. The sheer panic in me as I tried to figure out the problem. Going through the checklist seeing if I missed something was kind of surreal and a bit frightening. And this was just a simulator but imagine in real life. I felt like I kept my composure which allowed me to think back and remember what I missed that’s what basically saved my flight. I don’t know if game characters get affected by hypoxia but the I’ve seen my pilot pass out from a lot of g force of small planes so I thought after, “if I had continued that flight would everyone in the plane have died and would I have gotten a mission fail or a very bad reputation drop.
In conclusion all I’m saying is this. Fully immerse yourself in this beautiful game all we aviation nerds have been praying for. The whole situation made me feel like a pilot and has transcended me into another realm I never believed this game could reach. And remember FOLLOW THE CHECKLIST Good day.

Thank you Microsoft

Some landings are the easiest, I found a nice challenge for myself and finally succeeded.

PMDG 77f @ Tokyo Haneda ldax22
Love this approach

I don’t necessarily have a specific preference at the moment. But I may be interested in also flying some IFR as well with that plane.

Hey guys, today I will post a video since some people wanted it!

Today I noticed on the PS5 that the price of the Saab 340 that I bought on 22/08/2026 was 9.2 Million and now it costs 35 million? Repair from Ai where do able, but now I have a repair cost of 14 million? While AI was only making 500k for 1,5 hours or so. Nou I am stuck with a unrepairable plain which cannot make a profit.

Hey I’m Vasco and I’m a 14 yo boy from Porto, Portugal. I am now creating something to all poor flight simmers (just like me) or just for people who don’t wanna spend money. I’m creating an AI atc app for msfs 2024 (with the help of an AI agent, sorry for that) just like sayintentions but I’m gonna make it totally free and open source, so if u have suggestions just comment on here)
(First beta is coming soon)

This is now the second mission I’ve attempted today in career mode where the I set up a whole flight plan in the efb, but nothing on the tablet screen’s map actually changes (no magenta line at all) and then also when I get into the aircraft there is no flight plan. Also, the map seems to think my aircraft is over/in the ocean off the coast of Nigeria when I’m trying to take off from an airstrip in Montana. I’m relatively new to flight sim, but I’ve done probably thirty or forty flights this way and it’d never been a problem before. Any thoughts?

Hello.

I have a 75 inch tv coming next week. I’m currently using a 43 inch tv.

I’m wondering if anyone else plays on a large screen and has it added much to the immersion?

I’m in ps5 Pro :)

Thanks for any reply’s!

Hello, I was wondering if theres a way to adjust how fast the yoke moves in MSFS 2024? for example, if I pull all the way up, it wont be instantly, the yoke will be a bit slowly instead of moving to the full position as if its weightless or limp. Thanks! (DUALSENSE CONTROLLER)

Hi, I’m trying to find group flights where you can meet and not necessarily have discord, and don’t have to talk, but you can fly with other people doing bush flights or flying my spitfire.
I found the Microsoft flight simulator forum joined. I actually got to the calendar and it shows things going on this evening. I selected one, Friday night flights at 9 PM Eastern time. I slept going, but it doesn’t say anything about where it is or what server to use and where everybody’s meeting and what type of aircraft to fly. I’m wondering if anybody knows how to get that information. I would love to join group flight, but don’t really need the conversation, just would enjoy people to fly with.

I got the PMDG 777-300ER(iirc) but it has fuel issue where if I try to add fuel it just goes down to the fuel it loaded in at.

Is there any fix to the issue?

After about 100 hours trying to learn the 737 auto land systems and after about 60 manual landings I finally got it and know what to do now this wasn't perfect but much smoother than my manual landings ps5
