February 6Feb 6 In a recent rant about poor flying qualities and file encryption, I called out several developers. I swore off MSFS and was heading back to P3D. As I was poking around to see if anything could be salvaged from my foray into MSFS I discovered the Black Square stuff is NOT encrypted. So I made some adjustments and tried MSFS again. They flew very nicely as I tuned them to my hardware and my own perception (I have flown roughly half of them IRL). I even got the Analog King Air to work with help from this forum. Soooooo.... I'm back into MSFS 24, or should I say Black Square Flight Simulator 2024? Their products are very good, and with a little tuning the flying qualities can be made superb. I'll end up owning everything they make as long as they stay unencrypted. I wrote an email to Carenado pleading for them to readopt their own business model, the one Black Square is now using. Haven't heard back and really don't expect to. In my mind they are riding off into the sunset as Black Square takes over and dominates the GA market. Again, my apologies Black Square. Keep up the great work!

Keep up the great work! Black Square rocks! I just spent the last 3 hours and 47 minutes flying their TBM 850 from KDEN to KATL. What can I say. It was a dream to fly. Of course I killed everyone onboard because I had cabin pressure problems, but we can overlook my screwups. Love the Bonanza and Baron as well. Now, offensive initials not allowed is going on with the Caravan!!! Great developers! Smart move. 7950X3D | RTX 4090 | 96GB DDR5 | 4K G-Sync | Win11 Pro

Keep up the great work! If you want realistic flight models check out the A2A stuff as well, if you like the blacksquare products you will love the a2a products. If you want to try another sim give XP12 a try. I bought it recently jus to fly the hotstart challenger, Its a million miles ahead of p3d and gives msfs a real run for its money, and if you care about the flight model its in a class of its own.

February 7Feb 7 Author I got the Aerostar. Awesome. I pretty much had everything of his in P3D. Really wish he would port over the Mustang. I haven't done much with XPlane. Maybe get into it after I retire in a couple of months. Thanks for the recommendations.

February 8Feb 8 Got to add my thanks to Blacksquare.. Love their Bonanza/Baron and TBM. Reminds me of the old RealAir days.. 🙂 Bert
February 9Feb 9 In the middle of this, he says the A2A Comanche is more unforgiving when not paying attention all the time. But the Blacksquare planes are more "polished". At his home airport he says that he "takes a swim" at the end of every flight (end of the video). 5800X3D, RTX4070, 600 Watt, one or two 1440p 32" screens, 64 GB RAM, 4 TB PCle 3 NVMe, Warthog throttle, VKB NXT EVO stick, Honeycomb Alpha yoke, CH quad, 3 Logitech panels, 2 StreamDecks, Desktop Aviator Trim Panel.
