Hi all, coming from FSX to MSFS. Got through the 160GB download and ready to go but struggling a bit getting my old MS Sidewinder 2 to work. I need to post a couple of questions in the right forum but can’t for the life of me spot how to post a NEW thread. Can anyone help please?

Hello @InverseLotus881,
Welcome to the forums!
If you are unable to create a new topic, see this guide about Trust Levels and how to advance.
I have manually advanced you to Trust Level 1 and this should now give you the ability to create a new topic. When creating new topics, assure you are in a subcategory of the main category. For your question about hardware, post in this subcategory: Hardware & Peripherals

Hello fellow pilots,
I am playing MSFS on Xbox Series X.
I generally fly the Cessna 172 or a cub bush plane.
Maybe soon i will grow up and fly an airliner.
Been playing MSFS since I was a kid MS 3.0, 4.0, but been away for a while, so trying to get the hang of it again.
I live in NC, but lived in Alaska for 10 years, so I love to fly around Alaska in MSFS.
Really love the sim despite its bugs at times, along with the aerial photography and photogrammetry. Make it completely worth the experience.

Welcome welcome @Ranger5638! 
Welcome to the community 
I do like flying the C172 as well. Fairly simple and it does the trick for most flights 
However, I am mainly an airliner guy. You can see me flying in the CRJ900 or the Fenix A320. If you want help with learning how to fly airliners, let me know! Will be happy to assist. 
See you in the skies!

Hello all aviators. I’m new here and just started playing. I have done all the training lessons and know roughly how it works. But how do I proceed now? How can I learn the big planes? Is there any practice on FMC/ILS and how to navigate/fly from point A to B? Appreciate if anyone could help.

Hi @TonyFly74!
welcome to the forum and community There are tons of tutorials on YouTube which can assist with that, unfortunately there are not any in-sim missions at this time.
See you in the skies!

Look for any real life reference books on the aircraft and systems you’re learning in so you know your aircraft well

How do you start a new topic? Sorry to keep replying here, but can’t seem to do anything but reply. I have a question about getting a list of key and controller button bindings.
Hi @JohnnyRotten410!
The forum uses this thing called “Trust Levels.” This a way so that new members don’t “hurt” themselves as they learn the forum and the features that come with it. To create a topic, you must be at Trust Level 1. There is more info here: Trust Levels and How To Advance
Achieving Trust Level One is easy. The criteria is:
- Enter 5 Topics
- Read 5 Posts
- Spend at least 15 minutes reading posts on the forums
Once you do that, you will receive a Personal Message from the system saying that you have been upgraded to Trust Level 1 
There is this topic here you can read for further info: Why Can’t I Create a Topic?
Cheers and see you in the skies!

Hi, you can call me: Bryan a.k.a Roachclip
I am playing Microsoft Flight Simulator on:(PC… Gaming Laptop)
I want to try flight simulation because: I like flight sim, I live close to Amsterdam Schiphol, always fascinated about the flight routes etc.
I’m most interested in learning about everything in Microsoft Flight Simulator: Everytime when I start flying a new airplane, I wanna know everything about it, how to use it, I just wanna know every button!

Im not new to simming but…I want to get the navigation. Youtubers usually click 'n flick with buttons and knobs so fast you cant follow along. Drives me bananas. I just want a simple insturction using the Garmin collection. I heard they have downloadable sim Garmins to teach you…will google it…thanks. RJones
