  1. i can't see my friend online on microsoft flight sim 2020


    my friend recently got msfs 2020 and we decided to play it together. though, initially i couldn't see him online on xbox, so I told him to follow the troubleshooting steps I found online and i sent the instructions to him as well. even after following those steps (including inviting him to a party on xbox live beforehand), i still couldn't see him on my friends list as online or disconnected on msfs. however, when we loaded separately into the same airport in multiplayer, I saw his plane and he saw mine. i don't know if it makes any difference, but he was on the ms store version of the flight sim and i was on steam. i was also signed into the same account on msfs and xbox.

    any help will be useful, thank you

    :)

    Hello Dariy,

    I understand how frustrating this issue can be. Especially after so much troubleshooting!

    This sounds like a possible bug or problem with the game itself. For help with this, you should contact the game developer support team directly.

    MS Flight Simulator Support:

    Let me know how it goes, and I'll be here to support you! :)

    Note: Just a friendly reminder that this is a public forum, I will try to get back to you as soon as possible.

    I can't confirm for GTA but I'm pretty sure it'll be supported for Flight Sim 2020.

    Microsoft Flight Sim 2020 - USB controller detection problem (CH Controllers)

    "Hi All

    Hope someone can help me.

    Successfully configured my CH Flight Sim Yoke to work Microsoft Flight Sim 2020 and did some flying around and landing around my hometown no problems. The configuration setup was saved. I then closed the game down.

    Now when I start up Microsoft Flight Sim 2020 it no longer detects the CH Flight Sim Yoke. I have also tried plugging in the CH Fighterstick (which was previously detected) and it is now undetected as well.

    The USB ports work fine outside Microsoft Flight Sim 2020 as tested by adding a second keyboard. (update: under Windows 10 device manager I also checked to can see if Windows 10 detects the insertion and removal of the CH controllers - I confirmed OK that
    Windows 10 had no problems detecting the addition and removal of the controllers.

    It seems to be a detection problem by Microsoft Flight Sim 2020 (despite the fact Windows 10 can detect the controllers)

    Welcome any advise why Microsoft Flight Sim 2020 has 'forgotten' its plug in controls.

    TIA

    This afternoon I was playing FS 2020 with an Xbox controller because Flight gear is not available anywhere, except at Ama..n for 400-500% price markups. Today I received a Thrustmaster Rudder pedal I bought at the Microsoft Store and FS 2020 detect it without
    problems. After setting up the axis, I played for awhile and got off. When I got back on a few minutes later my Xbox controller was gone from FS2020. The Rudder Pedals were still showing and working, but no signs of the controller. Unplugging, rebooting
    the PC (Windows 10 Pro latest) did not do any good. I tried the controller with Steam games and it works as usual, so there is something going on with FS 2020 recognizing USB devices for sure....

    Likewise - the only reason I bought the Joystick was for Flight Sim 2020, which doesn't see the device!

    Is Flight Sim. X 2006 compatible with Windows 365?

    Microsoft 365 is the subscription service for productivity, items like Skype, OneDrive and Office

    No version of Flight Sim or any games appear on it

    The only version of Flight Sim on GamePass is 2020, which is unlikely to change
