[ARCHIVED] New Simmers: Introduce Yourself!

Its always difficult to pinpoint what’s going wrong exactly.
Can you take a look at this video from the 16:00 minute mark and tell me if you can get the flashing bar going on that happens from 16:10 after he presses the FMS knob? And if so, if you can follow what he’s doing up to about 17:10?

If you can’t get the flashing bar, you’re probably not using the right button/command to press the FMS knob (press, not turn) and you have to look at what your mouse interaction buttons are.

If you have discord I would also advise to go to the msfs official discord help&support channel and ask for some help there. As it is probably easier to help and troubleshoot with someone actually in the sim and have direct feedback.

Good luck!

Hi @AviatorPaul and welcome to the forums!

If it’s the Hondajet specifically I would recommend going to their forums/discord for guidance or use the search function on this forum to search for topics on the Hondajet to get you to the right place.

Good luck!

I am in need of some guidance. I first had Flight Sim in 1986 or so. My latest version was FSX . I am a retiree and recently upgrade my laptop to a Lenovo Thin 7i Prox X with a 12700 cpu, 32 gb ram, I tb ssd and integrate Nvidia 3050 GPU. I put FSX on my new machine but wanted to purchase FS 2020 40th. When I use FSX it runs at 40 to 50fps and then suddenly drops to 0 and the software crashed. I would like to find out if FS 40 is going to even tax my machine more. I realize my current system may get too hot as it isn’t a Tower of gaming laptop.

Some input is appreciated. I’m an old ■■■■ over 70 but don’t want to waste my money.

Hi, you can call me: Lima
I am not playing Microsoft Flight Simulator at the moment.
I want to try flight simulation because: I had a traumatic flight, and because of that, it has been very painful to perform the flights. So my idea is to join a VR set and decrease my anxiety
So for this I kindly ask your help

Hi. I’ve been flight simming for years in fsx but a recent new pc build means I can finally run MSFS. It looks fantastic, with so many places to go I think the only problem is where to start!

Thanks Beechc23. Still deciding after reading numerous posts about fps near large airports etc dropping to unplayable whether I should not up grade or should just try XPlane 12. I would have thought that with the 12 gen laptop c/w 3050 I could cruise at 30 fps and not degrade.

Hi, I go by radioactivated or xnopyt (I prefer the former since it isn’t an increasingly stale Tom Scott reference). I’m playing on PC.

Before now, I messed with the Google Earth flight sim years ago, and I’ve known a few flight simmers/pilots IRL, but couldn’t justify getting sim equipment since I was moving around a ton for school. Now I have some free time and money, I figured it was good time to get into sims for myself. Who knows, maybe I’ll be in a real training plane some day.

Hi, this is FosterGame70316
I am new and just purchased MSFS2020 Premium Deluxe for PC - Digital.
I have flown all the MS flight sims at some time or another. The graphics improvements look amazing!
I am interested today in learning how to install my purchase on a Windows 11 PC. I’ve been reading here and seems there’s lots of directions in how to do it. Will the install procedure have a written details? Just looking to have a clean install on a ‘dedicated’ pc.
Thanks for having me!

Good I’m Aser from Spain
I fly on Xbox Series X, years ago I was on PC but I no longer met requirements and 1 month ago I bought the console.
My Gamertag is: Aser90 #3056
I’m flying with A320neo and F18

I would like to join a Spanish-speaking virtual airline but I have not found any. If you know any tell me plis.

I am delighted with the simulator, I find it fascinating to be able to do it from the console.
Best regards.

Hey @Aser903056!

Welcome to the forums! When you get a chance, take a look at the Code of Conduct to learn the rules here, and check out #msfs:forum-guides for some forum tips.

I also found a virtual airline that is looking for Spanish-speaking pilots, if you are interested!

Thanks a lot. Now I keep an eye on what you have sent me although I just saw that airline and it is PC and I from Xbox I was already with them talking …
They use a PC program to record and enter flight data. Being from Xbox I can’t record that data.

I hope that one day the xbox version will also have simconnect and developers will be able to create xbox software.
