Why is MSFS 2024 Not Working in the UK?

Cyberpunk? :wink:

If you first select a helicopter in free flight and then go to controls, the cyclic, collective and other helicopter-specific commands all become available for mapping.

I quite like the dust effect, providing its used on the correct terrain, it does need to be toned down a lot I think though, it looks excessive to me.

Having spent the last week trying to get fs24 anywhere near usable in free flight (blurry ā€œmelted graphicsā€, buggy aircraft) I spent a couple of hours back on fs20 and what a joy, better smoother graphics and everything as should be. No doubt fs24 will get better but right now itā€™s very poor for me. I713700k, rtx 4090, 32gb, full fibre.

Thatā€™s not the point, my point was there was a separate setup for helicopters in 2020 so why remove it in 2024. Seems like a backwards move to me.

In FS2024, there are commands that are specific to helicopters and you can create a mapping that relates to all aircraft, which by definition, would mean that they would be applied to all helicopters.

Couldnā€™t you use this if you want to create a ā€œsetup for helicoptersā€?

Exactly the same for me. To his credit Seedy has really tried to find a cause for me. All of the fixes depend on the premise that my fast internet and Ā£3000 rig (that has worked ok to date) is broken in some way. The elephant in the room is that it is the software that is broken!

Have you bought any add-on in flight sim 2020?

hi andy
i did have fenix and maccosim egcc
but i removed them and reinstalled sim no addons at all

Hi! Have you bought the airport from the Marketplace? If so, Iā€™m afraid youā€™ll need to follow a specific workaround. If I can find it, Iā€™ll share it with you.

hi andy
no not from market place

disconnect internet
start flightsim

Cool! Iā€™m glad you managed to get in! And sorry if I couldnā€™t help you the best I couldā€¦

Thanks for this, this definetly helps get through the activating packages in 1 minute as opposed to 40 minutes for me!!

Only trouble is, I then canā€™t get into the sim as I canā€™t get past the ā€œlicensed not verifiedā€ errorā€¦ maybe an MS Store thing? Iā€™ll install and try on my steam copyā€¦

This worked for steam! 9 days on and my loading times are finally down to mere minutes rather than nearly an hour! Thanks!

Anyone still struggling in the UK?
My loading times are ā€˜Okā€™ but I still have missing cockpit and scenery textures every single time I load in.

I can see fairly good detail on the ā€˜10,000ftā€™ view of the map when waiting after clicking Fly but I then see those textures lose all definition just before it zooms in to the aircraft on the apron.

Then once Iā€™m in the cockpit itā€™s just a bare 3D model which eventually fills in with textures - sometimes after completing taxi and take off!

I have never been able to get as far as fly now. The patch has changed nothing for me. I donā€™t want to be an expert in windows OS, I just want to go flying, is that too much to ask?

From just before the patch I started to get partial flights without a crash and had 2 20 mins flights today without a crash. Have changed nothing on my system which leads me to believe re installing Windows etc is a waste of time - it is/was them not us with the issues

The number of people playing FS2024 is constantly falling down so servers are less busy these days. Personally, I have not seen low bandwidth error for several days now and I am on 50Mbit broadband. The game still likes to CTD randomly, but I doubt itā€™s related to server issues. This game seems to be still in Alpha or EA stage.

Itā€™s possible we may see another rise spike after next weekā€™s ā€œbigā€ update.
