Yeah, I figured I'd give it a shot - may get lucky. So far, have had a couple of flights - nice little plane.

Yes, that's the way I had to do it. The "problem" with that is, when there's an update, I have to remember to copy it back to the CF, do the update and then back to addon linker. IMHO, for a $50 addon that's just shoddy presentation. I know they'll sell a bunch so they won't care.

Yup! Found it right after I posted! 🙂 Thanx!

Yup. Sorry - getting lazy in my old age. 🙂 Now, if I can get the a/p (autopilot) to stay on. <sigh>

ok, one thing I don't like right off the bat - it auto installs to the CF - I really hate that. Just loads up the CF unnecessarily.

Since we have a new thread on the release of the Duke, I'm locking this one down.

There are a few reports of issues with the SWS Kodiak - not related to turbulence specifically but data communication so I'd try other a/c. The default Cessna208B is similar to the Kodiak.

Nice video.

@Stearmandriver JIC you didn't see Damian's response re the visibility issue - "We're aware of potential inaccuracies at that level between 1/8, 1/4 and 1/2SM as well as a few other ranges between this and 10SM. We're working on improving things there through alternative visibility obscuration methods. Thank you."

That's a good possibility. Will have to look at that. I'm not at my system right now but IIRC when you switch from easy to real you just need to restart AS not MSFS. Damian will get it sorted when we nail down the issue.

@Stearmandriver that's strange. My main way of flying is to search for low vis approaches and I've busted minimums on a few. I've found the vis to be great for this. I'll try some test flights again with 8888. I've been mainly testing TS so it is possible that something changed between versions. Won't get a chance until tomorrow afternoon. Did your visibility settings in ASFS change? Perhaps you clicked easy mode button by mistake? Either case, if it's off I'll post in the beta forum. Thanx

Mine is also 6 and it's PilotID

Best case - complete uninstall including settings etc. Most efficient UNLESS HiFi indicates full uninstall is to just uninstall the app but say no to the settings etc. Cleans out old stuff but leaves your settings and login data.

Very good points by all. It really does boil down to your personal preference. To me, the different cloudscapes and cloud levels is a major plus. I spent over 25 years flying around and AS is much closer to what I remember seeing in the air. Sure, I also do not like the lack of fronts etc but, to me, that is less important than varying realistic clouds. If you just like to see pretty clouds and fly around them, MSFS is perfect. The clouds are beautiful. And if you like that but are interested in checking out wind effects etc - then passive mode is your thing - the best of both. And, for those on the fence, which seems to be the main focus of this thread - one major thing to consider - this is HiFi and Damian Clark - he has consistently been one of the good guys in the sim world - ASFS has been out only 2 weeks and it is growing rapidly - responding to user suggestions has always been HiFi's forte. I don't think one can lose by using AS but the degree of enjoyment and usefulness lies directly with the way you fly.

yeah, this is a tough one. There are a lot of variables, the most important one is personal preference. I suspect we're looking towards another slider for ambient light adjustment or something. I wish there could be a one size fits all but it just doesn't happen.
