Because it isn't out yet.

This is a biggie for me, great they finally found a way. Those litte things add immensely to the immersion on airports imho, and the fact that with BATC, the AI planes are pushed back instead of doing a blunt 180° turn at the gate like for other tools, made me use almost exclusively BATC recently.

As nice as it is, that BATC found a way to do this:

It's somewhat frustrating that there's no difference to FSX/P3D in a way that we still need/have to buy countless addons to make the sim a bit more realistic: trees, biomes, ATC, ground handling, folder and addons organization, etc.

I do not talk about plane addons, but all that other stuff I had a slight hope, at least with release of 2024,that we do not need addons any more.

But I don't want to derail and I'm happy that we have so much talented developers which find so many ways to fix that main game and make it better!

That is OK for me tbh, it would be impossible to include all this into one sim, just imagine all the effort for bugfixing alone: if you fly a PMDG plane from an ini scenery to a MK Sim scenery using BATC, AIG planes and GSX, you basically have the power of seven (!!) independent developer teams taking care of the products you use for a single flight. No surprise that the result is better than with Asobo alone 😉

I can confirm it's working very well in the testing and should be released soon. Personally for me I don't care about it, as I'm focused on my airplane, but I know it's something many people requested.

You can't destroy a whole addon industry. So many addon devs living from MSFS. You have to see MSFS (and any other sim) more like an operating system. Just like Windows. You can buy Windows and have everything you need right in it. You want to write, use notepad. You want to work with images, use paint (🤣). Etc. etc. But if you want to go deeper into any topic, you'll need to buy Office or Photophop, etc. etc.

The same with MSFS. You actually have everything out of the box. But if you want to see Heathrow, like it really is, you have to buy it. If you want to fly a more realistic A320, you have to buy it. Etc. Etc.

I do love the dramatic addon developer style video :D

Where is the classical music with camera transitions guided by the tempestuous nature of the score?

MSFS 20245 works fine out of the box. You do not need any addons to run it.

I hope so by then 😅

Ah yes, FSX/P3D also, no one needed any addon. And also now nobody buys them. 🙃

Shut up and take my money!

After seeing several glitches with FSHud, and its support quality declining, I guess I'm ready for the switch.
