August 3, 20214 yr Flying it now using my default flightplan I’ve been using for all the MSFS iron. Pretty advanced. Everything feel crisp and polished. Flys like payware. -btacon
August 3, 20214 yr took it for a short spin everythingis good so far up in the air now will see how it goes got 15 more mins to go . Image removed as image is no longer available.
August 7, 20214 yr I have a problem loading existing Plans created in FS20. No problem with the simbrief ones. Can somebody explain to me why? Am I missing something? I can manually create an FP but it is a tedious work for long hauls. The previous version was accepting both, plans created in FS and SBrief.
