Still full of frustration when playing the buggy FS2024.
About a month ago, I started getting the DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG (0x887a0006) error when loading some airports I frequently visited in the past.
The notorious error was reported by many players. Although there are many suggestions for the issue, such as changing the values of some specific registries, etc, none of them helps in my case.

Despite the differences between FS2020 and FS2024, I am currently using the same profile set of my Stream Deck XL for both simulators.
From the Stream Deck profiles I was describing in Post 846, I set to load a home page called MSFS_INFO_C172 automatically when FS2020 is run.
In order to load the same profile set for FS2024, what I did was to duplicate the same home page and rename it as MSFS_INFO_C172_FS2024, and then assoicate the new page with FlightSimulator2024.exe. 
Now, Continue reading
In case you are not aware, MSFS (FS2020) has Beta as well. It is Sim_Update 15.
Haven’t found any new features from the Beta but the performance is a little better than the latest official version in my case.
Due to my computer structure, there are occasional stutters happened while running MSFS. With the Beta, stutters are lesser and there are a few framerates increased in places where I usually fly.
Recommend all MSFS users to run or try this Beta version as Continue reading
Microsoft has released Sim Update 1 Public Beta Test. Anyone interested could join to test it according to instructions here.
Don’t see any difference in performance compared to the official version. However, there are some changes in the settings and streamed contents of the beta version. Also some fixes seem not working as stated, such as infrequent CTD during exit to Stream, etc.
Anyway, worth a try since Continue reading

UI fonts in FS2024 are undesirably big, especially on smaller monitors. A new free addon “MSFS2024: Inteface Scale Option” by Cygnific on flightsim.to allows users to scale down the fonts effectively.
A very useful tool Continue reading
The file structure of Keyboard Control Commands in FS2024 is different from its predecessors. It is divided into two categories — the Airplane Controls Group and the General Controls Group. Hotkeys assigned to each group comes with an FS2020 version too, which allows users to choose either one or customize a combination they are familiar with according to their practices.
For quick reference, I compiled two tables showing all the Hotkeys for the two Control Command Groups, with their FS2020 equivalents listed next to them:
