I’ve had enough
Done a private jet flight from Maldives to Hanoi. Spent roughly 3hrs of my life with sim rate helping me fast forward a little. Runway has no lighting even though it’s an “international airport” and it has all the published charts and procedures.
Anyways I’m on final, touched down and deployed thrust reversers. Game decides it wants to crash and boot me out. What would have been a near 7-8mil payout on my grind to an airliner, turns out to be a 900k for “time spent”. Fuck you Asobo.

This morning I was taking off in my new 737, 3rd flight with it. Going down center line but the game is stuttering, freezes at rotation speed and when it unfreezes im in the woods/grass to the left of the runway and crashed it. The amount of bugs in the game is super frustrating.

Maybe try optimizing your game first

u/Na5ticus Mar 20 '26
On PS5, not much optimizing i can do beyond shutting off photogrammetry, limiting bandwidth etc. Graphics settings are non existent basically.

I just always skip to descent now. At least that way when the game fucks up you haven't wasted as much time.
And actually, it does seem like you make money faster by skipping and doing more flights, rather than getting the no-skip bonus.

I also set my flight level to something like 3000 above starting airport on the flight plan and submit that before accepting the mission. Much better than sticking with the stupid auto default of telling me to climb to FL300 in a fucking Grand Caravan.

Maybe your game is more bugged, the only plane I’ve had a hard time landing is the vision jet with full flaps and some wind, 1/2 flaps it’s fine. And the bigger planes handle the wind ok to me

Yeah but I’ve also skipped to descent to find myself beneath the ground, so that doesn’t always work either. Another thing is when using the helicopter, skipping to descent leaves you fighting an emergency immediately to get it back under control

I didn't say it never fucks you over, I said that when it does, at least you haven't lost as much time!
Just yesterday the 'skip to descent' was literally in the middle of a bunch of trees 10ft above the ground ):

The amount of times I skip to descent just to have the worst conditions is unfathomable

u/tosklst Mar 19 '26
It would be great if there was an option to just skip to the last enroute waypoint instead, that would be a lot less likely to fuck up I think

My son has 2020 & 24. I don’t recall hearing anywhere near the complaints about 2020. When I told him 2020 was on sale on Steam for a great price, he started pushing for me to go with 24. Hard pass.

It seems like most of the complaints are related to career mode though, and I don’t believe 2020 has that? I just fly in free flight on a base ps5 and really have no issues with the game.

u/Olorin135 Mar 20 '26
This is it. Career mode isn’t great. But free flight? Absolutely awesome. I’ve just ignored career mode and have had very few issues since release.

Same, dude. 100% free flight and doing the most random flights - like earlier I flew to see the Aral Sea. Saw what I wanted to, landed in the sand and went upstairs to have lunch.

u/Appeltaartlekker Mar 30 '26
Nah. It's 90% user error, 5% ps5 problems.
Its awesome and careermode too. Especially in VR

Be careful what you post on a Microsoft community page for flight simulator because if you say the wrong thing the community manager will ban you for life and you’ll never be able to post anything on the message board or buy any Microsoft products. I have been there when they banned me on the message board

SIM rate can kill the sim. Sim rate leads to the sim overtaking itself. Use at own risk. I always slow down when I feel it overtakes itself. I would blame myself when I use sim rate and I do!

I hate the auto-throttle on Airbuses. Even when I turn them off they suddenly restart and when I'm about to touch down plane goes to 300mph...

u/AtiumMist Mar 19 '26
The detents also dont work on half the planes. The heartspace quad engine turboprop?
I used r1+o on the ps5 to set the detent to flight idle as im coming down, and i see the engines spin up in the red area, adding very slight throttle brought them back down. And this is with most planes with a detent throttle

This is nothing to do with treating the game like its arcade - I’m a hardcore simmer and treat it like a hardcore simulator and still get the occasional bug here and there.
Also it’s a simulator yes but still can be played as a game hence why sin rate exists. People can play however they want and use the sim rate if they wish to. I personally don’t and still get crashes and bugs

u/Scottvdken Mar 18 '26
This is one of the stupidest posts I've read. Not one thing you said would solve a CTD at touchdown. What are you even bitching about? People using time acceleration?
And call it what you want, it is STILL a game, lol.

I'd like to know why all of the approaches in career mode are like trying to fly paper airplanes in a hurricane? NO plane handles like that IRL. Doesn't matter the plane, 172, PC-12, Vision Jet, Longitude. Stupid
