#MSFS2020

2026-03-06

i've been messing with a little script someone else wrote that creates a virtual xbox 360 controller where the X and Y joystick are controlled by a mouse. i modified it so you can control both virtual sticks with 2 different mice and left and right click of the first mouse also map to A and B. it handles relative values from devices as well as absolute values (such as what DualShock controllers use). it's been awesome on #microslop flight sim 2020, i use my smartwatch to control the collective and throttles in a natural way and a PS4 controller attached to a board which is itself taped to a big bowl to control rudder/tail rotor.

i ordered some actual flight pedals but it's good i still worked on this after ordering because the seller on ali might be doing something fucky, they told me the pedal isn't made anymore and to cancel the order. i'm not gonna do anything and see what happens.

(this code is not high quality, nor is it really intended to be right now)

VR controllers in microsoft flight simulator 2020 are rough (most helicopters do not support them, moving knobs and dials often require non-intuitive movements*). i like helicopters so i have been working on some way to control the collective (a stick that moves kind of like an emergency brake). i've looked at controllers, microcontrollers, tons of software, all of it with downsides like taking up physical space, cost, possible incompatibility with bazzite

well i remembered yesterday i have WearMouse, an app for smartwatches to pair to devices and control a mouse and it's incredible. i mapped the Y axis of the mouse to the collective and moving my arm translates to almost exact movements of the collective. i say almost because in typical microsoft flight sim fashion, there's a forced deadzone and movement is limited to one speed (so whipping my arm up barely moves the collective).

luckily a kind person made https://github.com/matiaspedelhez/msfs_mouse_yoke which directly translates mouse movements to a virtual gamepad axis (which feature more functionality for tweaks in microsoft flight sim) and now it's perfect.

before, i had a lot of trouble maintaining a hover near the ground because i'd always have too much or too little collective. immediately after switching to this, i'm landing delicately and purposefully. i still need to get some real pedals for the tail rotor because i want realism in a practical package and a thumbstick on the quest controller isn't realistic enough, but i feel so much more immersed and accurate.

one day, hopefully, i'll get my vive ultimate trackers working in bazzite.

* for reference, the two helicopters in 2020 I found that fully support VR controllers are the Guimbal G2 and the Chinook (that I think is a bonus from buying 2024). i checked 2024 premium deluxe and the list was:

Robinson R66
Bell UH-1H
Guimbal G2
Airbus H125

and possibly the one that looks like a biblically accurate quadcopter angel drone, but i don't care about that one.

| Constant "you put your plane in a dangerous situation" during flight lessons
| I keep getting this like 50 feet above ground, even if the plane is level when I barely pitch the plane up 10-20 degrees, wtf is going on?

Normal climb attitude is 5 degrees.

Steep climb attitude is 10.

20 is trying to be a rocket ;) (kis)

on my way to aruba in vr in the swankiest jet i could find

A screenshot from Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020, a realistic 3D flight simulator.

A purplish blue private jet with white accents and "BLURRED REALITY" written across both wings. It flies high above sparse fluffy clouds and the blue water of the Atlantic and heads towards the vanishing point of the image, where "686.92NM" is written with "50Ft" written smaller below. These are distance and elevation measurements for the next waypoint, which is Aruba.

Stargate meets Microsoft Flight Simulator!

Stargate is back!

I made this free add-on! Explore 224 filming locations from #Stargate and #BattlestarGalactica #BSG in Metro #Vancouver, BC and Colorado! Works with #MSFS2024 and #MSFS2020

Fans know - attached screenshot: Tolana and Caprica! Aka #SimonFraserUniversity #SFU #HollywoodNorth #YVR

Flight Report ✈️ | Ísafjörður (BIIS) → Kangerlussuaq (BGSF)
Distance: ~430 NM
Duration: 2h 45 min
Average Groundspeed: 160 kts
Cruising Altitude: FL140 – FL180

Took off from the dramatic fjords of Ísafjörður under heavy clouds 🌧️ and climbed above the icy ridges into bright Arctic skies ❄️☀️.
Crossing the Denmark Strait, the view opened to endless glaciers and snow-covered peaks — a stunning transition from Iceland’s rugged coast to Greenland’s vast wilderness 🏔️🇬🇱.
Landed safely at Kangerlussuaq after a breathtaking Arctic leg in the DA62 🛩️.

Ug, its so hard to find the Departure and arrival airport fields in the World map in #MSFS2020, I can't do it with the arrow keys, finally got TFM and MSFS to connect to the simulator though, so now I am ready to fly essentially, just gotta set up simbrief, but I could very well get in the air today.

2025-11-26

I really want to fix my #MSFS2020 so that it doesn't crash anymore, I am ready to get in the air.

2025-11-11

Man, wanted to try flying today, but #MSFS2020 keeps crashing on me after loading to 52% and I don't know why this is.

Who wants to sponsor a new NVMe SSD for MSFS, so I can keep maintaining github.com/Pomax/msfs-simconne for ? (because a 1TB SSD is very much not enough for both 2020 and 2024)

Happy International Cat Day!!

Here is the venerable Tomcat searching the skies for her prey!

had to do several go-arounds at a really short runway whilst doing a bit of fiji island hopping earlier

that's unfortunate #MSFS2020
