Might be a stupid question and I guess you considered already. But did you turn on the packs?
Ah ok, thank you.
Is there a reason why they dont use the data from msfs for weather? Cause the other aircrafts do have workin radar.
If i remember right msfs does not plan to open the weather model for third party. So there will be never ever a weather radar if i understand it right.
I am not a fan of flying in night times with no radar on.
If you don’t set the landing elevation it defaults to zero (sea level). Unless you manually sat there, turning the knob for two or three minutes I can’t imagine it would reach 20,000 feet and cause pressure not to raise above that.
(Setting it manually for Denver took a long time for me! It’s not something that’s going to happen by accident.)
MSFS doesn’t have a working weather radar. You could call it cloud radar and it has nothing to do with a real world wether radar.
In MSFS every cloud is displayed on the radar. In real life only precipitation/ ice particles. The radar in the sim is just useless, I would even say disturbing.

The landing elevation does not influence the cabin pressure in flight. This is dependent on the altitude of the plane. In the AOM part 2 on page 44 is an overview of the Aircraft altitude and the approximate corresponding cabin altitude.
The landing elevation is entered for the plane to manage the cabin pressure during descend so that the plane is not pressurized when landing. When you would try to open the doors while the plane is still pressurized it could harm or even kill you.

Movie critic Roger Ebert talked about his “guilty pleasure” movies. the ones where afterward everyone else was saying, “Gosh, how terrible,” “Inferior,” etc., he’d mumble, “Gee, I don’t know. I kinda liked it.” That’s how I respond to some of these posts. I think it’s a great addition to the sim. It’s one that I’m actually taking the time to go through the tutorial. I’ve always liked the regional jets in all the sims I’ve flown. The cramped cockpit gives it that fighter-jet sexiness, unlike those “there’s just two screens” airliner cockpits. Perfect for the shorter flights, which is about all I care to do in a sim. Eight-hour flights? You gotta be kidding me. Anyway, Just saying.
Ah ok, thanks.
It is my first flight sim and i thought a weather radar would work like inFMS. Cause cluds are made by water, i thought the radar reacts to this water.
Thx but it doesn’t work for me 
Did a KSEA-KSLC flight that unfortunately ended poorly – this was user error on my part; I got distracted doing several things at once after a missed approach and accidentally went overspeed accelerating upwards, to the point where it “overstressed the aircraft” and I crashed.
The overspeed warning was only running for about 3-4 seconds before the fade-to-black.
Been there, done that.
I wonder if RL pilots, apart from having infinitely more training and skill, are provided with any warning that they might have forgotten to adjust their throttles?
I guess there will usually be two pilots on the flight deck, to check it out and avoid getting over-busy, but i was thinking more about whether the aircraft might provide any earlier clues to their impending doom.

No, there’s not such a warning IRL.

Yeah, I figure they’re just better trained and more on-the-ball … and there’s two of them.

I was on several CRJ 900 flights sitting on the jump seat. The pilots are handling that like flying a GA, even with or without autothrottle, you are always checking your speed and altitude.

hmmm, Googling “CRJ accidents overspeed” does appear to yield a worrying amount of hits.
On second glance, there aren’t too many different incidents.

Yeah, but believe me, that’s not only a CRJ problem. Go to the maintenance computer of any aircraft, check the service message history and you will find at least one OS stored for the last year.
So is the proper response to an overspeed warning to pull the throttle levers back to idle and full airbrakes or will a bit of upward pitch be used also?
I’m sure my screaming doesn’t help the situation too much

I am not a pilot, so I can´t answer that question probably 
. Also, I am speaking about different kinds of like flap or gear Overspeed f.e. But, if something like this would happen to me → idle thrust, stop the descent (if you are descending), and really careful use of flight spoilers.

Gee!, how much are you overspeeding and in which phase of flight?
In cruise mode a gentle little pull on the throttles will solve the issue as you are level-flying.
In descent you should never get an overspeed warning or something is really really wrong, if your speed is too high on descent then I would level the plane and if needed pull the throttles to get to the desired speed. You can always do a 360 if your speed is really very wrong for the approach.
I think you should never go to idle because of speed and the speedbreaks in this plane should be used very carefully.
