Interesting way to do it. I can see a lot of people buying this. I'm not sure I personally like taking out parts of real airport renditions...even if they are in obscure locations like that one at KORD....and putting fictional buildings in their place, but, I can see many people enjoying it. Virtual planes in a virtual world and all that. I do wish more devs would build out actual real-world FBO's a little better. Sometimes as was said those parts of scenery are neglected somewhat.

I do wonder how it is in real life. Can you bump the stick with your knee and kick it out of AP? Or does it require a lot of deflection?

I have Belfast and Indianapolis Executive. I need to fill-out my UK airports a little better, but haven't been flying over there too much. I should get Lorain Ohio though, in fact in the sim I just flew there recently (Burke Lakefront, and then around that whole Cleveland area). The hangar door sounds good. Speaking of new animation effects....this may already be a "thing" but I'm not sure....what would be neat to see would be code that would randomly place certain animations around an airport. For example, you load the airport one time, and there are two mechanics working away in an open hangar. But the next session you have at that airport, there might instead be an owner preflighting his plane in the same spot. There could be several possible animated objects in various spots. I don't know if that's possible in the SDK or not but it would make for a lot of variation each time the scenery is loaded, almost like no two loads are the same. Immersion City.

Yeah I think everyone can have their own opinion. I go back and forth on things like this, sometimes I like it, sometimes I don't want non-real-world stuff. Depends on which side of the bed I fall out of on any given day.

Isn't this just like FSReborn's FBO that shipped with their Phenom 300?

Where is it on sale? I looked in PES's shop and it wasn't marked on sale (but maybe is at checkout?) and simmarket and didn't see it.

Yes...like the Azurpoly Jaguar. And FSR Phenom 300E almost criminal of me to not be flying those two

Not an expert. But I do have a fast car. It looks like he blew out a tire. That was pretty benign. I wouldn't blame the horsepower of the car for that. Could happen to any car.

kiwikat's mod is fantastic at low level for sure. I also use the Reshade mod. It does tone down the city lights, and that is in my opinion definitely needed. You may not realize you need that mod until you actually do it.

What's "EFBX"? Anyway, I have bought the A2A Legacy recently. I also bought the new MK Studio's KMIA. I have the Blacksquare Commander 114, very very nice, love the realistic Lycoming engine startup procedure it now has. Even though we all know it would be better with a 300-horse Continental in it. Bought the Mi-2 helicopter a few weeks ago. I do recommend it if you're into helo's for sure. Don't let the wall of switches scare you. Once you learn the very eastern-bloc style setup it's not too bad. As for other helo's, been thinking about the Taog Hughes 500, have not bought it (yet). I am thinking about getting the Virga Alpha Jet. I want to support this new developer and, Alpha Jets are just plain cool. I may see if some of this goes on sale for Christmas or right after.

Do you have another controller laying around? I have an old Thrustmaster T16000M with a damaged wire in the stick, but the slider-control at the base still works fine. So I can assign something (like Engine 1 Mix) to that slider. Then assign Engine 2 Mixture to another controller you have.

In Orwell's book didn't they did have cameras at every streetcorner? I think that's pretty mischievous. You don't have to be a senior to have memory slip. It has probably been 40 years since I read 1984.

Are you able to save over time, to get yourself into a better price bracket? There might be some deals post-Christmas, big savings possibly in after xmas sales?

That's how I do it -- MSFS2024 in its default position, and then I have: c:\Aircraft c:\Scenery C:\Util With Addon Linker pointing to those. Util has stuff like TDS GTN, etc. etc. in it. Scenery is split out to North America, South America, Europe, etc. Aircraft has a "Liveries" subfolder in it, and Liveries then has subfolders for each plane's liveries: Commander, 777, etc.

Whoa! I love that interior change you did. I'm not a big fan of the default and yours is a welcome improvement in my opinion.
