The OPs issue with BATC is why I have not used it for some time - not sure what to do about ATC as I can't stand the voices in FSHUD. For the time being I just fly the published procedures. Bruce

Amen to that! I tried FSHud but quickly abandoned it because of the voices. Bruce

Well I am sure it will look amazing but honestly, with so many other regions that would benefit from an WU, another US centric one is disappointing. Bruce

I find Lock very annoying and as this bird is only available from marketplace looks like I will have to tone down my initial excitement about its release. Bruce

I also fly largely in Australia but I am not sure about Atmos as when I look out of the cockpit in MSFS2024 I wonder how what I see it could be improved upon. It was different in 2020 when Atmos made a big difference. Bruce

Milford Sound is in New Zealand. Sorry just saw this and couldn't resist. Bruce

Yes I have noticed this. Bruce

For a product like this I would be looking for airline specific announcements and regional accents as I fly almost exclusively in Australia or NZ - so Aussie and Kiwi accents and Qantas, Virgin and Air NZ etc announcements. Bruce

I have never used the default camera system as I only moved to MSFS2024 once Chaseplane was supported having used it with 2020 and P3D - so I was familiar with the chaseplane way of doing things. I think it was an advantage having never used the default camera as I didn't have to unlearn anything. If you have a lot of aircraft it can be a lengthy process setting up all your camera views in Chaseplane but but the process is very straight forward. Bruce

Yes I noticed the crocodile in the Murray Valley National Park - gave me quite a laugh Bruce

You can pause time in Developer mode same as in 2020. Bruce

This is a very impressive update to my homeland - I am particularly pleased that Lord Howe Island has received an enhancement. Even before the update I noticed that the coastline near my home town of Merimbula on the NSW far south coast was much more detailed in MSFS2024 compared to 2020 Bruce

What I have found is that while 4090 GPU temps are up somewhat especially in external views I no longer get "Limited by main thread" with CPU load more even across all cores on my 9800X3D. Bruce

Well that is a pity as these cracks in the ocean have been a visual annoyance for me from day 1 with 2024 - something I don't remember seeing in 2020.

Thanks, I will give it a try. Bruce
