Im strawdruid23, with an xbox one x, very limited computer savy, using a HOTUS one x. Ive seen msfs on youtube, and just downloaded it. After a few self inflicted problems, it is up and running, and i am fully addicted. I know that practice is the key, so i am spending as many hours as i can crashing into trees and mountains as i can afford. Im getting the hang of landing on the airfield right side up, and going the right way. I look forward to many hours of amazing sim.
Thanks for the great forum!

ā€˜Any landing you can walk away from is a good landing’ - so they say.

Hi, I’m playing MSFS 40th Anniversary edition on PC - MSI Gaming Laptop with 32 GB or RAM. I played MSFS version 1 way back probably in 1982. It was kind of like playing Pong. I have owned every version of MSFS since Version 3. Love this new version but I had to buy a new laptop to be able to run it. I’m getting ready to get my Sports Pilot License and I want to buy a Progressive Aerodyne Searey or an Air Adventure Aventure amphibian since I live in Florida and we have lakes everywhere.

I have the same problem with the Cessna 172 G1000 version. Haven’t figured out a way to get rid of them yet.

Hi, you can call me either StarJet2023 (my handle) or simply by may actual name, Destiny (Des). I did play with MIcrosoft flight simulator years ago on my PC but it has been a long time. A couple months ago, I signed up for a ground school course online. It brought me back to simulation.

In the past couple months, I purchased my first gamers computer and video game system (XBOX series X, a VR headset (Oculus Quest 2) and two simulators (Microsoft Flight Simulator 2000 40th anniversary edition and X-Plane version 12). So, I’m new to a whole lot of things regarding gaming.

As for Microsoft, I am trying to build ā€˜an airplane’ in my house it seems like. I hope to get it all to work together on my gamer computer. But it has been a challenge so far. I might have actually bit off too much to fast. But I really look forward to getting it all up and running so I can start to play.

I wanted to try flight simulation because I love to fly. My degree is in avionics and I have always dreamed of getting my private license. I can’t really afford that so I guess the simulator brings my dream to life (so to speak).

I current desktop system uses the following equipment:

A Meza Simulator Cockpit Panel, a Honeycomb Alpha Flight Simulator Yoke and Bravo Throttle Quadrant, two Logitech Flight Radio Panels, a Logitech Flight Switch Panel, a Logitech Flight Multi Panel, five Logitech Flight Instrument Panels and the Logitech (Saitek) Flight Simulator Rudder Pedals.

It has been a struggle making it all work together or even getting MSFS to recognize everything. But I found another app callled SPADneXt that is used as an interface between all the controls and Microsoft Flight Simulator (or my X-plane) so that is looking promissing. So far it has been a journey.

Note: I keep finding errors so edited my post again on 3/14/2023 to make spelling and grammar corrections mostly.

Sorry, done something wrong

Hi guys, You can call me Sal :slight_smile:

I used to love the older MSFS, but have been a console gamer for the last few years.
Just built myself a new gaming PC and the first ā€œgameā€ I wanted to get was MSFS, and now I’m just starting to take it for a spin and its very daunting !
I’m not a trained aviator, but I’ve always loved flying and the realism of 2020 is what drew me back to it.
At this stage I am using my newly purchased Saitek/Logitech X56 HOTAS Stick/Throttle, but I am starting to think a Yoke might be better for learning FX and keep the X56 for the military ā€œTop Gunā€ type activities.

Some of you guys have some amazing cockpits set up and I’m nowhere near that level - very impressive work !

I’m in Melbourne, Australia and looking forward to having a few trips around Tullamarine airport.

Hey there, I’m Sy. I just very recently got into MSFS on PC. I am absolutely intrigued and super stoked about flight simulation. I consider myself a novice in flight sim, I have lots to learn and I take advice really well as I’m always open to it. With that said, thank you for letting me be a part of this, I really appreciate it.
