Look at VATSIM go!

1100 people online... the USA just lit up! Excited for the influx of traffic!

MSFS needs some fixing, but it’s great to see new simmers joining along.

Can you see all of the other traffic or only MSFS 2020 planes?

FSEconomy Servers are under a lot of stress atm also.

so are OnAir..  they had to upgrade their server farm today to allow for all the new flyers and all the extra airports included in MSFS over the previous sims.

Good , glad to see this fix. Now maybe some of the virtual airlines will see an increase in pilots, usage.

What do you mean by this? You can see all VATSIM traffic when on VATSIM. Not sure model matching is incredible atm though.

FSEconomy was working before the fix though. But yep for sure.

In P3D you had a huge folder of all the different types of aircraft and liveries, and it matched all of the traffic to one of the ai models. I didn't think MSFS 2020 had more than a few AI types.

Impossible, MSFS is not for real summing; it’s a game for the xbox crowd...

Sarcasm, my friend.  I suspected MSFS would add some much needed juice to our hobby, despite the naysayers’ attitudes. Today, I enjoyed far more immersion flying the MSFS A320 in intense rain than the PMDG 737 NGXu. I love the sophisticated aircraft; however, I enjoy the sense of actually “being” in the environment more..

I’m still fortunate enough to fly for real, sir. I’m absolutely amazed at how well MSFS mimics a realistic environment. It’s for those reasons I scuff at non-pilots who claim MSFS is for gamers.  Not at all, it’s a valid sim that I plan to use to hone my private aviation skills.  This sim is just delivering more smiles than the other ESP platforms.

Glad you’re still flying! I got kicked to the curb right as I finally made it to qualify for my first gig... haven’t flown in months. So having something as realistic as MSFS has helped (and also caused pain ha...). But I agree, it’s more of a sim than a game, people just don’t realize that.
