December 26, 20232 yr Does anyone know what those 2 external vent looking things are on the inside bottom of the windscreens of this aircraft? I have always wondered. Edited December 26, 20232 yr by Jazz 5800X3D - Strix X570-E - 32GB 3600Mhz DDR4 - AMD RX 9070 XT- Samsung 980 Pro x2

That sound feature would be an amazing add on the Lear :)

December 26, 20232 yr "tested by real pilots". how about tested by real developers?

December 26, 20232 yr Most software is 'unfinished'. Including MSFS. Patches and updates regularly occur for addons I had previous thought to be finished. Updates for the 414 were so frequent however that it became a little tedious to keep reinstalling it so I'll wait a while for this one. 9950X3D - X870E Aorus Master- TUF 5090 OC - 64GB DDR5 - 1500W HXi - Titan 360 RX LCD - 9100 Pro x 2 - LG 45GX950A - HOTAS Warthog with Ava Base

The SWS PC12 was arguably either early access or rushed, depending on how you look at it. I'd rather developers were honest from the start like this. 9950X3D - X870E Aorus Master- TUF 5090 OC - 64GB DDR5 - 1500W HXi - Titan 360 RX LCD - 9100 Pro x 2 - LG 45GX950A - HOTAS Warthog with Ava Base

I'd have to say, based on my first couple of flights, I have spent my hard earned cash on products that were far less useable (or buggy if you prefer) that were never patched. I'm surprised that after the marathon they had to release by the 25th that the guys seem to have worked all Christmas day & Boxing day on patches (none of the issues seem to be show stoppers) and supporting people on Discord. Based on the previous Lear, their C414, and their work ethic it will definitely get done. As is, their "Early Access" is better than some developers finished product. Would imagine a few patches over the next few weeks though, at the rate they are working on it! G Gary Davies aka "Gazzareth" Simming since 747 on the Acorn Electron

However I think the 414 started in a similar way and they got it looking quite nice later on from what I recall. Everythihng that FSW made up until the 414 was textured in-house and I think it's safe to say that texture artistry was not their strongest point. However from the 414, and certainly this model (as he referred to it in the development video) are textured by a commercial 3rd party that FSW contract out to.

December 26, 20232 yr Performance feels about right, a joy to fly. Sounds are pretty good, but some missing. Need to fly some more and test various systems, especially fuel transfer to see how well they did modeling. On a Lear, anyone having problems with ground taxi, there is a steer lock button on center pedestal you need to press to disable.
