I fly for 8 virtual airlines and the aircraft that I buy have to be operated by at least 2 of them. So that limits the choice of aircraft that I have, and I don't have any non-current airliners. My next purchases will be the A220 (I'm in no rush - waiting for it to mature) and the 757-200F for my virtual cargo airlines. Each month, I try to fly at least 2 routes per airline, so I get to fly most of my aircraft on a fairly regular basis. I've also fly with Jetcard, but I only use the CJ4 and the Longitude when I'm flying executive charter flights. They're fine for me, but I also have the default King Air and the BBJ if I want to try some flights with them as well. When I get around to buying MSFS2024 (I haven't yet because my internet connection isn't good enough), I'll probably do a fair bit of GA flying, using the default aircraft first.

My error, Airbus owns half of ATR.

Just to say that ATR is not Airbus and vice versa. They are separate companies.

May I ask for the source of your statement "Airbus was approaching airlines and essentially offering them suitcases full of cash"?

In MSFS2020, my go to executive aircraft is the default CJ4. There are some great mods on Flightsim.to for it, and it is a joy to fly with surprisingly good performance (it storms up to 43,000 ft).

Thanks for letting me know. My internet connection isn't good enough, so I'm still using MSFS2020.

May I ask if this is for MSFS2024 only?

I hope that someone does the BAe125 (Hawker) - they were the first aircraft that I worked on as part of the design team

I can understand that. However, as someone who doesn't have a decent internet connection, I still use MSFS2020, and it would be great to get some of the improvements. I don't have much hope that they will, though.

It may be if you introduce the fuel too early in the engine start up procedure.

I have no plans to go to MSFS 2024 until my internet connection is upgraded. As is, I'm perfectly happy with MSFS 2020.

May I ask where you got the information to make this statement, or is it an assumption?

Please note that the auto trim has been selected off.

I'm having trouble with the ATR 72 in MSFS2020 again. The trim doesn't work - as soon as I try to adjust it, it goes to zero and won't shift from that position. I have no issue with the trim on any other aircraft. Also, may be related, the autopilot refuses to engage. Very frustrated. May I ask if anyone has any idea on how to fix these issues?

I enjoy using Beyond ATC. I find it great from pushback to the vectoring to the approach. At this point, I just ignore the instructions and follow the STAR and use common sense to get to the approach to the runway. Also, I use the TOD as shown in LittleNavMap as the marker to start descending as I find that the descent rate is normally 1,800-2,000 fpm which I find keeps the aircraft speed OK without the excessive use of the speed brakes.

Clickbait.

I fly it extensively in MSFS2020 and I like it a lot. I agree with the comments on the EFB, but it's not a showstopper for me. Hopefully the new EFB will match the best that's out there.

Download the manual from Just flight and read it.

Thanks - my error. I'll try to do better next time!

Wonderful, I look forward to seeing the cargo version in my hanger!

May I ask if it's just for MSFS2024, or will there be an MSFS2020 version?

I always run the Check button at least twice after an update to (hopefully) eliminate any issues. It seems to work for me.

Pleased that it's also coming to MSFS2020. I plan to go to MSFS2024 once the internet connection is updated (no timescales yet) to a full-fibre connection.

I did some further changes to the flight_model.cfg and I managed to get everything more or less aligned. However, during 2 separate test flights, both engines stopped on both occasions even though there was plenty of fuel. More fool me for buying the aircraft. So, I've deleted the aircraft and I'll carry on using the Airbus A300-600F and the Boeing 747-8F and the 777-F as my go-to freighters until Bluebird releases the 757-200F (goodness knows when that will be).

Many thanks Keith, I bought the freighter version, which is only available from the Marketplace. However, I found the file in the mod package available from Flightsim.to. The only issue that I have is that the Fuel/max allowable fuel still reads 161,001 lbs. May I ask if you know how I can fix this? Best regards, Peter
