Cute little Easter Egg added in the update

You can play the first 4 versions of FS
Start in the DA62 and turn on the ELT. No idea if it works with the improvement mod, I don't use it, but I doubt it.

Please elaborate.  I have no idea what an ELT is or how to turn it on.  Some of us old codgers don't understand all these initials.

Thanks

Roy

It's the red button on the right side of the cabin labelled ELT.

Is this the 'FS History' module in the Content Manager I wonder? 

It is! This is actually how I found out it existed. Saw that package and peaked through the files.

Thanks.  Couldn't get the chirping to go off, but I tried it three times and got the broken glass screen every time. Great find.

Any one of them for maybe two minutes before being shocked at just how bad it was. Memory plays curious tricks on you once you get to about 40. Things were most definitely not better back then! But thanks Asobo for reminding me.

People were just pleased and satisfied more easily back then!

Today we want everything to be perfect, now and for free!

Gotta say: this anniversary update feels incredibly generous to me. I would have been happy with any of the the additions, but the entire package is incredible. This awesome Easter egg is the icing on a 12-level cake 🙂

I agree.  It is more generous that a lot of people will ever appreciate unfortunately.  I have heard people complaining about the inclusion of the Hughes H-4 spruce goose as if they paid for it, and that the helicopters are 'poorly implemented'.

While we all know MSFS isn't perfect and needs some work (which we have evidence over the last 2 years that MS / Adobo will attend to), I was taught to never look a gift horse in the mouth.  :smile:

Call me Bob or Rob, I don't mind, but I prefer Rob.

I like to trick airline passengers into thinking I have my own swimming pool in my back yard by painting a large blue rectangle on my patio.

Back in 1982 FS1 had an easter egg that allowed you to fly MSFS 2020

Haha that would be a mere slideshow.

 

🤣🤣🤣 plus the easter egg would be the most played part of the sim😂😂😂

I wonder how the MSFS 2020 emulator will look in 40 years time.
