Who needs an airliner, anyway…?

Not much is my guess.

Do you remember there was an add on for P3D that had a low res aerial meant to be viewed from airliner altitudes? If that wouldn't have made a difference in how the world looks down below, there would not have been a market for this.

I find the awesomeness of MS2024 is that it looks great from all heights as long as you stay out of areas where data sources are very sparse, like the Arctics, China etc.

You can walk around and really feel like you are there or you zoom over it at FL430 and still feel like you are flying over the actual earth and not just some landclassed approximation of it.

all we need is for FSL to finish their MSFS Concorde and I bet we’ll finally be able to welcome Ray to the club! 😁

I don’t, sorry.😢

I’m not convinced it will ever appear for MSFS. Could be wrong if course but whenever Lefteris make announcements it’s never mentioned. An extremely complex aircraft that took years to arrive for P3D. Initially for v4 but later changed for v5 only.

I don't know how this thread derails to Concord, P3D and MSFS is GA sim LOL The biggest problem with Lancair Legacy is lack of after market anti-ice kit. With all that speed and altitude icing could be a stop sign.

Neither a good P-51 Civ Mustang, nor Super Hornet. Prepar3D lives on! 😎

And you can also add a 747-400 to that list

Yep - that one is on my disk, too! But I’m scared of heights, so I can’t climb up to the cockpit 😂

j.k. That’ll absolutely retire every airliner I own when it finally gets to FS24. 😎

My only problem with it is that it’s hard to get the grass and tree branch stains off it. It’s a BLAST at low level!

So the FSW Legacy was updated yesterday to include the new autopilot but it will be updated again tomorrow so, best wait until then.
