Solved - Need help - World Map Fly does't start

Update
Change user - didn’t help
Set own weather instead of live weather - didn’t help
Change airports & aircraft - didn’t help
All Nvidia drivers are up to date

I’ve Microsoft flight simulator 2020 PC Steam Edition.
My user name is regular plain letters.
Not using Developer Mode.

Going to World Map section.
Choosing an aircraft, selecting both departure & arriving airports, hitting FLY - nothing happens.
Reinstall & install the game again via Steam - still same problem.
All other options in the game like: Flight Training, Activities, Bush Trip are running perfectly.

Please advice.
Happy New Year

Did you try different airports?
Did you try with the community folder empty?

Just a wild guess. Have you updated all content in the content manager as well?

I think pc or xbox has mouse issues, this could be the reason seen a few people with same issue.

Tried the ctrl+enter command as listed at the bottom of the screen?

That would indicate whether it’s a mouse problem or otherwise.

Try - nothing happened

Two other things I have heard of:

  • Try a different server
  • Ensure you have the latest drivers for your GPU

Try a fly from 1st set as departure, if that works then add arrival etc!

I had this problem earlier today, what I found was to quit out of map and click reset then load in flight plan again and it work. Seems like a strange glitch along with the live weather not working today.

Just a guess… but sometimes I have mouse troubles too and if in Windows I press the “task view” button on the task bar and then re-select the MSFS window my mouse problems clear up. An alternative approach would be to put MSFS into windowed mode in the settings and try again. It looks like you’re in full screen view so windowed mode might work better.

Took your #2 advice one step farther: install NVIDIA Geforce Experience, and from there I can launch the game directly ( the green LAUNCH on right upper corner)… didn’t help :frowning:
Also changed server… no.

Just wild guessing further:

  • different aircraft?
  • set own weather instead of live weather?
  • select an activity (f.ex. bush trip, or a training episode) instead of own plan?
  • is the hover effect on the fly button working?

Sounds like something is corrupt.

Clear game cache? Clear Nvidia cache if you have it enabled.

Open command prompt with admin privileges. use the command - sfc /scannow. This will check your windows files.

Check game files by going to settings > apps > use advanced options for MSFS and then choose repair.

Use DDU and uninstall GPU drivers for a clean install.
