Austin received this complaint through his e-mail That’s not new. If you’ve seen the actual email, it’s batpoo nuts. And then spread around by other XP devs along with their own ‘seeds of suspicion’ that their XP planes had been copied, finally forcing Matt from WT to confirm that…ok, that’s not true. i910900k, RTX 3090, 32GB DDR4 RAM, AW3423DW, Ruddy girt big mug of Yorkshire Tea

I never understood this community so much against other simulators. On my part, it's just a joke. LOL I'm a former X-plane user. So, I don't have anything against the simulator or its devs. 9800X3D@H150i // Msi RTX 5090 Trio OC // 64GB DDR5 6000mhz CL30 // 2TB + 1TB Nvme Dell 27" 2127DGF - 1440p - Gsync - 165hz Thrustmaster TCA Sidestick Airbus // TCA Quadrant Airbus // TFRP T.Flight Rudder Pedals // Logitech Flight Multi Panel

Little Johnny has to be rescued from the cliff with the helicopter. After all what has been divulged about MSFS 2024 in this Expo presentation if all you're getting from it is "little johnny has to be rescued from the cliff" then you are just embarrassing yourself in your attempts keep disparaging MSFS because they didn't touch on the specific topic of PAPI lights and ILS approaches in this 20 min expo presentation lol... but please, tell us more.

You're right of course. Who needs any of that silly stuff like PAPI lights and ILS approaches in a flight simulator? We're on to bigger things now. I'll try to get my head straight.

The legacy sim thinking (or those whose pet sims can only do one or two of those in a good way) try to propagate this either/or myth and ethos of how a sim should be made. With enough skills and resource and developers, pushing ahead on all these fronts is quite possible, and that certainly is what MS/Asobo seem to be doing with their ongoing and increased investment in MSFS.

I'll try to get my head straight. Do you realize how for this presentation they had to talk in terms of high level topics within the 20 minutes? So just because PAPI lights weren't specifically mentioned that therefore means it's not being improved in 2024? Are you that clairvoyant? At the very least you do admit from what you newly learned today that 2024 is more than just about helicopter rescue right?
