November 30, 20241 yr So, does the freeware version for FS2020 only have one model type of electricity pylon? Christopher Low AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPU / 64GB DDR5-6000 RAM / 12GB Nvidia RTX 4070 Super GPU / Gigabyte X870E Aorus Elite Wifi 7 / 1+2TB Samsung Evo Plus M2 Nvme UK2000 Beta Tester

Patience mate, patience ;) 6 hours ago, Christopher Low said: So, does the freeware version for FS2020 only have one model type of electricity pylon? We Love VFR never added power towers. Those were in the vanilla sim, the same models that we have currently but with updated placement. There might be something more in the pipeline coming soon(tm) 😉 and Mamu's Power Lines add-on will still be valid with it wires.

I currently have mine disabled with AL. MSFS
November 30, 20241 yr MSFS2020 doesn't feature antennas, smoke stacks etc, so We Love VFR and Mamu add-ons might be useful.

This is why I have confidence that the MSFS team (of which you are included now?) will make MSFS 2024 very good in the upcoming years! I'm something what's called "1st party developer". We work with OrbX to provide vertical obstructions. I agree that underneath current issues there is a great sim. And I'm sure the team at Asobo is working hard to make it better.
June 17, 2025Jun 17 @PuffinFlight, I'm thinking We Love VFR still has value under FS2024 due to some additional details it offers that still aren't in the stock sim. Curious as to whether it's likely to work okay under 2024 or if it might cause issues.
