Not sure if this is against community guidelines, but what I did today was set up my new Samsung Galaxy G95SD 49” Curved Widescreen OLED Monitor to replace two 10 yr old 27” HP IPS Monitors. Monitor retails for $1,899, but I got it on Woot for $999.

Image is spectacular!! Mind. Blown.

While I am getting some resource usage exceeds GPU memory messages, I am at over 40fps and no real stutters. Running six year old i5-9600/32GB RAM/RTX 3060ti.

Hi everyone!I just got my private pilot license in FS2024. I think it’s worth celebrating a little! :partying_face: :clinking_glasses: :tada: :confetti_ball:

For my birthday recently, I received some Steam Gift Cards which were promptly converted into 4 new airport scenery purchases from the MSFS marketplace :credit_card:

@ZKd0s Which airports are these? I lose every game of “guess the airport” pretty easily. :stuck_out_tongue:

Hey @MylenskPILOT, aurora borealis are not in FS2020 by default. There’s an addon by South Oak Co that costs $9, but it doesn’t offer any customization or real world forecast.

Today I tried 3 flights (career mode) with the 737.

The first decided to turn all the electrics off after 53 minutes, so I aborted.

The second decided it changed it’s mind about permission to land, once I was already on the runway, then proceeded to decide that when I got close to the parking gate that I was there to pick up passengers, not drop them off. I had no choice but to abort.

The third flight was great, my landing was probably one of my smoothest. As I exit the runway the stop and hold box disappears and I get penalised. I finish it to find my customer satisfaction is terrible and I had 3 missed ATC and a taxiway violation.

It really is hard to love this when it is this buggy.

Yes, so true. I am hoping SU4 brings something or if not that this mode will be looked at seriously for SU5.

Your 2nd para, try to take off again, then put it on heading, resend the FP to ATC and avionics, direct to the last couple of waypoints, get your dest. airport talking to you again and pick your runway. Always pick the runway before announcing position, and check if blue final boxes show - land - hopefully it works for you. It does me. (I suppose if it lets you, you could try resending to ATC while on the ground and see what happens - I have not tried that)

Learning to fly msfs 2024 on a ps5 with a controller. That is a totally different set of skills :face_with_peeking_eye: :grimacing: :sweat_smile:

MSFS 24 is much easier with yoke and throttle.

Say, what’s with the snow on the roads but not on the grass? A feature, not a bug :wink: ?

Maybe all of the city’s snowplows broke, and it’s already a few days after the snow fell.

This wasn’t present in your earlier shot:

The Citation was about 15ish miles southeast of Des Monies Iowa, probably pretty rural. The airbus was departing Minneapolis, about 5 miles south so a much more urban area? Could be working correctly and just what you’d more likely see??

Mhmm not sure why there’s no snow in the fields but in the roads…
