Welcome in @LutzLange - sounds like you’ve been a simmer for a long time. I’d love to hear more about your work in the Airbus A320 large simulator in Hannover. Sounds like fun!
Yes, the large simulator at Hanover Airport is really fun. Now we not only have an A320 but also a Boeing B737. However, both are only for non-professionals, i.e. for amateurs. I will also be giving a talk about the DLR and the LBA soon. Yes, I really enjoy aviation. Unfortunately, I never got my pilot’s licence myself and now I’m too old. But FS2024 fulfils me.
Good morning. You can call me N8WOL, that’s my Ham Radio call sign. I’m happy to have found this community.
I have always been fascinated with airplanes. My dad got me started because he was in the Army Air Corps near the end of WW2. My first flight experience was with a powered parachute, a tricycle shaped frame with pusher engine, and a parachute for a wing. Next came a CGS Hawk. And eventually a Cessna 152 co-owned with a friend. My job required a re-location about 20 years ago ended my flying fun. Now I have just turned 80 years old and hope to enjoy some more flying with MSFS 24.
I have put together an appropriate tower, (previously owned Alpha yoke, Beta quadrant, and Logitech rudder peddles. So far I know that the system all works together, BUT I need help with a Cessna 150 profile for the Beta quadrant. My controls are not properly operating the plane controls. I have discovered that I might be able to download the correct profile here and import it to my setup. I need help to locate such a profile(s) and get them working in my quadrant. Any help would greatly appreciated!
Hi @N8WOL4336,
Welcome to the forums, we are glad you found us. I enjoyed learning about your experience starting with a powered parachute. How was flying that compared so somthing with an inside cockpit? I’m really curious to try it sometime soon.
Cheers,
Jayne
The Powered Parachute was a blast! I notice there is one in msfs, too. I’ll have to try it out. Of course it’s low & slow. It is super in the summer when it’s warm outside and you can get all that air in your face. The controls are simple - a bar across to push with your feet to pull the parachute line on one side or the other AND a throttle. Taakeoff in a couple 100 feet. Just a lot of fun!
Hi! New to forum senior here…Smilywingnutz or just Wingnutz. Been simming off and on for several years, struggling to get along with 2000, FSX and most recently 2020 as I’m no computer whiz. I own and fly a Cessna 172 floatplane (full size) and was hoping to find a sim of that plane in 2020. Any suggestions to create a steam gauge 172 Skyhawk really appreciated…do I need 2024 to do it?
There is a Skyhawk available in the Deluxe version. Didn’t you buy that package?
Hi, you can call me:Axel311266
I’m playing Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 on: PC
I started flight simming because:
I always liked FlightSims
I wanted to report a Error -
The Airport ETNW Airbase Wunstorf is a Military Airport
but a dozen Civil Airliners are crowding the Aiport
-thats wrong! in fact there are A400M military transport planes
are on the Airport / i know it because i have seen it because
i live in Wunstorf
Hello Axel, I live in Garbsen and I know with Wunstorf Airport. However, my home base is Hildesheim because I prefer to use smaller GA aircraft. For many years, I supervised the Airbus simulator at the “Welt der Luftfahrt” exhibition at Hanover Airport. I’m sure you know it.
Otherwise, welcome to the forum. This is a very helpful and friendly forum.
Welcome to the forums @Axel19661231 !
There is actually a thread for the error you reported here:
Bug Reporting Hub > Scenery and Airports if you check out the Airport and Heliport tracker (it is pinned at the top of the page) you can see if the airport you mentioned is already in it. If not, you can use the template to add it to the tracker.
Hi, I can be called D69 777.
I’m simming MSFS 2020 on a gaming-liquid cooled PC thru XBOX.
I have been MSFS since 1998.
I recently been having crash problems related to DX11 vs DX12. I am not too tech savvy but can get around (a little). thanx for your help in advance!
Welcome aboard!
The last I had read, DX11 and MSFS 2020 do not play well together.
I don’t think that has changed.
You shouldn’t have any issues using DX12 with MSFS2020 though!
Bought MSFS 2020 five years ago, didn’t use it until I bought a new PC recently. I don’t remember which version I bought.
If you don’t have the Skyhawk you bought the standard edition. There are a few options
- buy the deluxe add-on. You will get many more aircraft, but it is a bit expensive.
- buy only the Skyhawk. I have not tested this myself, because i own the deluxe, but this seems to be possible in 2024.
- Buy a third party C172 somewhere on flightsim.to or msfsaddons. Like the C172 M/N.
Hi I’m old to flight simming but new to the forums.
I enjoy exploring South America, mainly Chile with all it’s islands, fjords, bays, glaciers, mountains, deserts and cities. A look of diverse flying in one country.
Thanks,
FlyingSquirrelSim
Welcome @rabbit33!
Chile is a beautiful place to fly, especially the Patagonia region in the south! Some absolutely breathtaking scenery there!

Hello, I am very new to flight siming. I have just replaced my 10 year old PC with a new build - Ryzen 9 9950X3D, 64GB ram, Nvidia GeFotce RTX5070 TI and Asus proart X870e creator motherboard and 2 x NVMe M2 2TB SSD. I built this with editing photos in mind but having “played” with MS FlightSim more than 20yrs ago I was keen to see how it would run on my new PC. MS FlightSim has come so far and I am currently struggling with how complex it has become! Hopefully this group will be invaluable!
