February 11, 20251 yr I bought the basic package. From previous experience I had suspected that many of the default aircraft would be pants. And I was correct. The Cirrus flies nicely and appears to have correct V/Stall speeds but still has some minor bugs. The Cessna 172 also works much like the real one and the handling is "OK" for a flight simulator game. I also liked flying the DHC-6 (?). Great STOL performance with reverse prop! Other than that I think many of the others have unusual handling responses and/or other bugs. I do like the freeware Cessna 152 available for MS2024 - that is very good but obviously not a "default" aircraft. Hopefully at some point there will payware aircraft modelled using the MS2024 architecture rather than just being "port-overs" from a previous version of MSFS.

February 11, 20251 yr I flew the 787 for the first time in a few months, and all it really reinforced for me is that we need a real 787.

Yes, there’s some nice bits to it and some pretty awful stuff too sadly that detract from the whole simulation. The autopilot is continually rolling left and right slightly , and the pitch angles for climb are off the scale. 5 years in now and still no hi fidelity 787, meanwhile more variants of Airbus available than you can shake a stick at. 787 captain.

February 11, 20251 yr I find the 2020 default planes to be better than the 2024 versions.. It is as if they did a quick update with LOD changes to reduce the memory footprint, and in the process introduced various bugs and visual imperfections. I have now copied over most of the 2020 default airplanes that I fly, or rely on for Blacksquare panel mods, to my new 2024 "Official2020" folder. This way I can select them in 2024 and they are as good as ever. The only airplanes this does not work for, are the ones with encrypted content, like the Baron.. Bert

Yeah it was some of the wacky autopilot behavior that got me. Also once I got it to cruise, couldn't get it to enter anything except VNAV ALT - refused to step climb, refused to follow a VNAV PATH on the descent as well. More annoying than anything else.

February 12, 20251 yr may I add the C404 to the list = flew lots in R/L - it flys nicely but it's supposed to be turbo charged - but never pulls anywhere near max manifold pressure - also the 2nd obs indicator doesn't work (I love hand flying ILS approaches) - also the altimiter sometimes works othere wise sticks on zero & at night you can't dim the GNS. Now also don't get me started on the MU2 Rattso Cooler Master Cosmos 700M - MSI Godlike X (Devillike!!) - AMDD Ryzen 9 9950X3D (water cooled) - 128gb Corsair Vengeance 5200 D5 - ASUS ROG Astral GeForce RTX 5090 Liquid OC GDDR7 32GB - EVGA 2000W P/S - Creative AE-7 - intel Optane 500gb - 3x 2tb M2 SSDs - 2x 2tb Samsung EVO SSDs - 1x Hybrid 2tb HDD - Brunner CLS-63E Joystick - Honeycombe Bravo quadrant - Brunner CLS-B rudder pedals - Samsung Odessey Ark 55" - G9 49" monitor

If you're into GA, then get either the A2A Comanche or the FSR500. A2A, as always, has its own "architecture", and the FSR500 remains an outstanding addon. I haven't yet upgraded from the Compatible version, but the reviews on the iB A300 Premium are rather good - especially given that it was such a solid model in v20. I will give you a hint, though: Every addon will use code from the previous version. It's simply how the software dev world works.
