Usually a CTD at loading screen stage is due to corrupted Gaming Services data. This is easy to repair and takes just a few seconds:

Open your XBox App, it should be on your taskbar.

Click on your user name at the top left of the window.

Click on Support in the drop-down menu.

Click the Gaming Services Repair Tool button.

Click the green Start repairing button.

Once the repair is complete, close the window and re-launch MSFS.

@Sweetd31 Well done, but you're posting this in the FS2024 discussion thread instead of the FSX thread.

I have the Premium Deluxe PC and XBox versions, and I have 50 Assistance options on both platforms which I assumed would be common to all versions.

You can use keyboard Ctrl+F1, Ctrl+F2 etc to zoom in and back out of all the gauges/panels you need to see.

Some nice shots of a home cockpit multi screen setup in this thread:

MSFS is also designed for Xbox Series X|S consoles, which have a Quick Resume feature built into the OS. The developers, Asobo and Xbox Studios, have decided that it isn't required in the sim itself.

You should have 50 items in the Assistance list, but somehow you only have 33. My advice would be to re-install MSFS as the quickest solution.

I notice that your Assistance settings are "Custom". Have you tried resetting them to default? That may bring the HUD options back.

Type "Instrument" into the search window, select "All" and then click Search.

How can I stop the acceleration when exiting fore/aft slew mode.

Make sure that the wheels are on the ground before exiting slew mode by pressing and holding F1 (slew DOWN).

Ctrl+F1, Ctrl+F2 and so on will zoom in on panels and gauges, F will return you to the normal cockpit view.

I use 'mouse-look' mode to pan freely around the cockpit much faster than with the hat switch on my yoke - simply click the mouse wheel to toggle it on or off. I think it was Leonardo Da Vinci who said "simplicity is the ultimate sophistication."

My next car will not be a Ford. Does anyone care?

The Men In Black from Ford will be calling on you to use the 'flashy thing' and make you forget about posting that!

FWIW, I've just posted in another thread that I think a few features in FS2020 are merely 'place-holders' and have never been properly updated or fixed - it was probably easier to start from scratch with them, hence FS2024.

Not everyone wants to "fly a camera" in 3D cockpits nor have to wear odd headgear.

I agree completely. The first computerised machine I ever worked on was a photo-typesetter which was entirely keyboard controlled because mice hadn't been invented yet. That machine was serviced every 6 months and the service engineer once told me that the keyboard was such an important part of the system that it should be inside the casing, not outside! So in flight sim the keyboard, mouse and monitor is the right way to do it for me, even more so now that I have an HDR curved monitor which removes the 'fish-eye lens' effect on flat screens in MSFS, and adds 10 FPS believe it or not!

To address the OP's points, I have to agree to some extent - when you start looking under the hood a few of the features of FS2020 are merely 'place-holders' and not many have been significantly updated or replaced so far. It was obviously easier to start from scratch with those, so let's hope that's what they've done with FS2024.

All my downloads are for FS2004, and all have been "infected" recently. 

Thanks for clarifying - so that's two separate libraries affected for definite.

Some have the Issue, some don't. Why it happens? That's the $64K question...

The MSFS library files are affected, other libraries seem to be unaffected. For those of us who contribute to the MSFS libraries, this is as embarrassing as it is frustrating.

I override the block then scan the download, it is clean;  a couple of times I have uploaded the files for an online scan ...all clean.

Not many people will go to that trouble; they'll take the warning at face value, cancel the download and get file from elsewhere if possible.

I hate to say this, but if you refuse to investigate, the conclusion is obvious: I won't download from your site anymore.

This is the conclusion which most members have already arrived at; nobody wants to download a clearly flagged virus.

At this late stage, it will be the entire sim. Everything on the disks will be obsolete by now.

... in the web browser of your choice! Prices are in estimated USD only, but all the other features are there: https://msfsmarket.place/

Good morning.

I have downloaded a Boeing 787-8 from CamSim, in this site. When I try to fly, the plane is floating about 2/3 feet from ground. How can I solve this?

Thanks in advance your kind answer.

 

 Please post your question in the FSX forum, this is the MSFS 2024 forum.

Never mind FS2024, SU15 would be nice - at this rate it'll release on the same day as City Update 06 and Local Legend 15! (Scheduled for next week, if anything goes to plan with this sim lol)

Also the sim has been launching with the update screen flashing up and then starting in windowed mode for the past week.

Yes the expansion packs are optional and can be safely removed from the content manager - along with any world updates and city updates you don't need, these are optional too.

Simbrief makes it easier to program the FMC....lol....just "plug and play". No 15-20 minutes of programming each waypoint, weights, fuel, etc.

Ah! of course - I gave up on the airliners back in FSX (after 9-10 years of flying nothing else) so I forgot about all that FMC stuff!

I've given up with Simbrief. It only works properly if you also have a Navigraph subscription, which I don't have. If you take the time to learn how to flight plan using the default World Map features, it does everything that Simbrief does anyway.
