when I take a look e.g. at the night lightning and the clouds in MSFS2024 in comparison the XP12 I suspect, it will be very long.😉

Well, I have to try it before I can properly answer 🙂

There's no mention to the fix for one of teh bugs I reported (aerodynamics) but there's a worth of good stuff, bug fixes and feature improvements, so, looking fwd to try it.

It’s a pretty good update. Weather has been massively improved. Strange clouds are back but LR will look into it and are happy if you make a bug-report for weird-looking clouds (don’t forget to make a weather-dump before that will be included in your log-file).

I saw on the announcement strange clouds mentioned but what I noticed just loading up on a first test was horrid and a big step back on real weather. Perhaps me was just unlucky in the PNW atm and will do some more tests at other locations. Hope it doesn't stay that long this way. Otherwise still happy with the progress so far. 

Cheers T.

Can you report on the ATC? Did you try the new features, and is it better now? Many thx 

Reason: I have been using Condosoaring 3 mainly since release and have all my free slots occupied with C3 tasks, so, it may take some time before I install 12.1.3, and would like to find out, apart from the official description, how the users are finding the ATC and Weather.

X-Plane default Atc always been far better than Msfs.

I haven’t really tried the ATC because it’s something I never used. But from what i’ve read people were pretty happy with it so far. For me it’s 99% about weather, the second most important part of a sim after the flight behaviour in my opinion 😊

Atc is really hood now. I did a short hop from ybcs in default baraon. I set 2 waypoints, when i filed plan it gave me the correct sid to first waypoint. Its still got little bugs but mainly it getting lots of praises.

Do note that Zink is currently disabled on linux. I assume they are trying to sort out some issues with ut.

I was very impressed too with the new ATC. Did an IFR plan from SCEL to SABE in the Toliss A320 neo. SID and STAR in both the FMC and ATC window worked amazingly well. Just one a little too early turn left heading... but the rest, wow!
