Please do yourself a favour and read at least the very first post of this thread: 'It is better to be silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.'
March 15Mar 15 The only thing I'm not clear about: Will the 2024 version of this release at the same time as 2020 version or will it be delayed?

Ok, now I see why I skipped it in your OP: I don't use any support based on Discord, ever! So... I usually skip products with only Discord support, the MAX having been an eception because I originally purchased it for P3D from Flight1, and was using the Flight1 iFly! forums back then... So, I assume it'll first release for 2020, for free, then for 2024, but that 2024 version I isn't clear if it's going to be free or payware AFAICT...

Still confused, eh? It has already released. This is a service pack for both 2020 and 2024 that will release at the same time when it's ready. Edited March 15Mar 15 by Farlis

(intersections etc.) 2) Will it finally go to VNAV SPD mode when enabling VNAV when high on the path? Or will it still dive down at 8000 FPM in VNAV PTH mode? 3) Can it finally do the live recalculation of the vertical path when modifying restrictions or waypoints in the legs page without executing them? 1 and 2 I have not tried yet in the new build but they've been discussed so I assume yes. I'll probably try it again later, I'll check. 3, yes. Also Altn Dest will be enabled, and also FPA and VB to any waypoint including the runway in the descent page.

I really hope 2 will be fixed, it's incredibly annoying to fly like that whenever I come from another aircraft (I know the early 737NGs had that software version but IIRC there was an additional speed function on the DES page that could control the behaviour; anyway I assume the MAXs don't have that software version anymore). Oh and I asked for no 1. on the Discord and they said it's still non-editable. I really hope they update that. For transparency: I'm a community mentor at the BATC discord. However, I do not get paid for it in any way.

(message source) Shown is SP1b (SP1 will be free for all existing customers when it releases soon) in MSFS 2020, all will be available in MSFS 2024 also when released. All screenshots below taken from the now finished stream. Unfortunately there's no replay option (as of yet). Impressive. The EFB looks more user friendly now.

First, I have zero inside info, so take this with a grain of salt...but the video that I watched that showed the new tablet interface did show and demo the new panel saving function, and it seemed to work really well.

March 16Mar 16 Author I finally found the time to watch Stearmandriver's Twitch stream in its entirety and at my leisure. The level of detail in the upcoming SP1 (check it out around minute 45) is...unrivaled. Wow! https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2722818908 0403z: Stearmandriver just started a new livestream (including a rather...spectacular landing 😃) Edited March 16Mar 16 by MrLamb 'It is better to be silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.'
