It's the Premium version, made for 2024 only.

I didn't clean the WASM folder, but it was a fresh install because the latest version requires it. I'll try it again at some point. Hopefully I can get it to work.

How are you getting better performance? The iFly, Fenix and all my Black Square products are fine in 2024, even with add-on airports. The A300 will dip to 20 FPS when I switch from external to internal views and it's always very low in normal conditions. It's also buggy. You still can't use the COM for ATIS, and the AP would not work last night even though I had all the ATS switches on overhead. It worked well in 2020. I just removed it, it clearly isn't going to work for me in 24.

It's hit or miss. I'd say 50% of the time I can get an ATIS on the radio, but for the times it doesn't work I just use the tablet or another source for the METAR.

The A300 in 2024 is the worst product I've bought in ages. It was buggy in 2020 but functioned decently, however, performance and problems in 2024 make it worthy of nothing short of an uninstall. It was a cheap upgrade, but I'm still sorry I spent the money either way.

It's happened before. You can enter the data for takeoff into the EFB manually.

You can often accumulate a great bit of ice and not "fall out of the sky", lol. For me, in 2024, they need to fix the night lighting. It's way too bright. The bloom is so bad that a single light source lights up everything around it. Some cities are bright, yes, but I shouldn't be seeing mountains that look like they have a WWII search light pointed at them. Landing lights create a haze in front of you. It's ridiculous.

I feel like Nick said a TBM custom sound set would be created at some point, but I'm not sure. He is working on a lot of new titles at the moment and Boris is his sound guy. With the Cessna Caravan, Bonanza and Baron, it's a lot of create and update.

AIRAC database update

I like this little airport, but I was interrupted on my only flight in with a phone call. Annoying. I did notice the ILS for 30R never came alive. Has anyone else had this issue? I do get some stutters as assets load, so it's a bit heavy on performance, but it's usable.

You have just negated this video in the OP. How do you know he isn't the one posted inaccurate information based on his "experience"? Again, it boils down to my original point: Pilots are ultimately responsible for planning descents and not relying 100% on computed VNAV. Even A320 Pilot has said as much. People need to stop nitpicking and chiding Fenix as the top Airbus on the market. It's like a vocal minority want to punish Fenix for being the top Airbus in MSFS. Fenix have pushed out more significant updates and included more models than anyone else for no cost. 90% of the developers in this community would have charged for some of it and most certainly charged for the 2024 package. At least Fenix are continuing to improve their add-ons, while many others will just tell you you are wrong or ban you for suggesting the product was flawed. I've been in this hobby since 2002 and do my own research, as anyone should. I don't think several products that others claim are the best are good.

V1 Simulations says he doesn't feel like it's a problem. He has said many times the VNAV is terrible in real life. You have to plan ahead and be proficient at handling the plane. He has commented on this video. Yes, the Fenix is probably a bit deficient in calculating the path effectively, and Fenix is reworking the VNAV. However, abnormal conditions occur in all situations (vectors, steep descents via ATC, weather/wind). The same applies to the Boeing 737. I know pilots who have had to extend flaps on the STAR and even lower the gear beyond the IAF. Sim pilots tend to assume these aircraft are all perfect at predicting wind, ATC/FMC flight plan changes, or other factors that affect performance.

To the best of my knowledge Black Square is just waiting on SU3 to drop to release the newer 2024 compatible aircraft. It sounds like many of them are ready, but Asobo keeps breaking things in the code with their unpolished sim. So, once SU3 provides a stable coding, Nick will release new aircraft. This might break the Starship temporarily as well, so he'll have to tweak it as well.

The Starship has a tendency to roll quite a bit on takeoff. Nick didn't find that information in his production of the aircraft, so it isn't represented in the flight characteristics. He was presented this information by another user on the JF forums and if I had to guess, he might include some yaw changes in the an upcoming update. I'm not sure how that all works from the programming perspective, so I can't speak to whether or not he will include that yaw effect however. Normally, yes, you would dial that trim in to counter the yaw.

Quite a few things will help. Hardware. You don't realize how much hardware matters until you get something decent. Personally, I find a good yoke important, along with pedals. I can do the Airbus thing with a side stick, but it's not the same for some reason. Also, some aircraft are horrible with the flight dynamics. The A2A Comanche is a very difficult plane to land imo. I've only used it in 2020, but the wind effect is not easy to deal with, and speed must be dialed in perfectly. I don't find it too enjoyable because it is so difficult. Also, I find 2024 to be much better in terms of wind control and centerline tracking. Now the default Cessna 408 seemed to be decent for being forgiving. I've flown it once, I just dislike the G1000/3000 integrations. I like the Cessna 404 as well. The Cessna 152 is decent too, although I can tip over in turns (not exceedingly unrealistic). The Longitude and CJ4 are great. Haven't messed with anything else default to comment much. I know the C208 was a floating joke in 2020, so I doubt it's changed. I really like the Black Square flight dynamics, but they have only released the Starship in 2024. It is a slightly harder plane to land, as you can't kill power and not float forever or drop like a rock. I love the Starship myself. The Black Square developer is working on a new Baron and C208. Those will be great. Hopefully the Duke will be ported over to 2024 as an official update. It's a phenomenal add-on in 2020. His planes are more complicated though. I heard the COWS is a great add-on as well. Not sure if it's 2024 compatible yet. I also advise against land-rate monitor tools. They seem to be very unrealistic and set unrealistic expectations. Looking at an outside replay is a much more reliable way to just see how the landing appears.
