April 21, 20251 yr Can I get a firm confirmation whether 2024 allows for tilt? Didn't Asobo keep enabling and disabling turbulence when flying through CB's etc?

No silly rings of haze around airfields...just proper realistic atmospheric dynamics. Just completed a flight through a frontal system. Proper realistic depiction of multiple stratiform cloud decks. Even the upper cirrostratus layer is modelled correctly. In cloud turbulence and icing is spot on. It's amazing...no other word...simply mind blowing realism from takeoff to touchdown. If MSFS paid attention to (their customers) and the atmosphere as much as their ground scenery and physics, there would be no competition. But I've been watching X-plane 12 and just loaded in the new beta - have not really tried it yet. But they are definitely improving things a lot, and they are listening to their customer base. Weather is improving a lot, and the night lighting especially airports (where it counts most!) is really, really good IMO. I have a prediction to make - haha: I predict that weather and atmosphere will be something Asobo wishes one day they would have focused on more... X-Plane is going after their weak spot, and I think they are on to something! This is all in fun omg don't start this sim is better than other etc. I really enjoy MSFS series and poke in on x-plane once in a great while. But I have been taking second looks lately on x-plane 12, and it's garnering some of my flight time versus MSFS as of late!

April 21, 20251 yr ...and if there's one thing MSFS needs it's decent competition, ultimately it's good for us to have choices, we're the real winners here. (well not our bank balances....!).

Never heard any recent updates. Implement Weather and Terrain APIs (Wishlist LT #1 – Partial) | SU 10 + - Terrain & Weather Radar Drawing API is currently being tested and will be released with SU10. It will allow WASM modules to request customized bitmaps showing the terrain and weather around the user’s aircraft. A bit like how: FS2020 seasons were suddenly dropped! Sim update 16 dropped!

April 21, 20251 yr I thought people were originally complaining that the weather was too wild, and just saw somebody complaining about crazy weather in career mode.... Isn't that why we all have turbulence settings at 'low" right now? We are all connected..... To each other, biologically...... To the Earth, chemically...... To the rest of the Universe atomically.

April 21, 20251 yr They need to have a “weather” focused update similar to their avionics focused updates. I agree they are falling behind the competition and in some cases quite badly.
