From what I understand - Full failures and ground maintenance support as well as you can set the aircraft operational state from "Brand New" to "heavily used or worn condition" which then has operational impacts that you will need to consider. Circuit breaker panels have been simulated too - I don't know if base package includes CB as default however. I have it myself and have set all my aircraft to average condition which given the aircraft age IRL makes it reasonable choice.

I assume that this changes the look of the aircraft externally, but does it also affect the VC?

Etc The way I see it - on every flight now I have to review the ground maintenance/aircraft condition before flying which is very cool and immersive, just as you would IRL prior to every flight.

January 14Jan 14 Wasn't aware this update was out, but noticed it on Simmarket so logged in to TFDi and splashed out my 3.72 GBP for the update. Absolutely fantastic! As usual I don't care about anything cockpit/flight related, but this is one of the best looking aircraft models I've seen. And it flies and behaves perfectly fine for my needs. Very, very happy with it.

There are, unfortunately 3 things I didn't like: 1) I can't still hide the yoke. Some of my FS9 planes have that function. I hope to be wrong, but if not... c'mon TFDi, you can do better! EDIT: apparently there is the option, but I can't find it. 2) I still can't remove fuel mid-flight (for skipping cruise). But now I find fuel dump rate is slower than before, so I couldn't get to the gross weight I wanted on time for approach. 3) The most important one for me: as expected with all native MSFS2024 models, all the repaints I have for 2020 were rendered useless. Also, texture filenames and file structure changed between versions, so I can't simply convert the repaints I have from DDS to KTX2 (as I did with the PMDG 777 or the JF Avro RJ). Where? Hide the yolk - clip spot just below the label, across the base of the yoke handles. MSFS2024 liveries: 42 are available at the TFDi web site,. Login, go to Customer, drop down/Liveries. MSFS 2024. I had to use 7 Zip to unzip them. Also, when unzipped, click on the file name, it should come up with the same file name. Copy the 2nd one to your C\Users|etc Community24 folder. It works but is a bit messy. T45

Personally I just chalked it up the MSFS‘a crappy VR user experience. I deal with it but wouldn’t call it incompatible. MSFS in general needs to rework its VR UX.

Very, very happy with it. This is a genuine question and not intended to be condescending in any way -> I read with interest how you said you tend to use the sim - no technical aspects, etc, mostly for visual use. How would you use a plane like this? (I'm only asking because it's so systems-focussed). Would you do an autostart and just handfly at low altitudes? If I'm being too nosy just tell me to flip off!
