I'm a bit in the same boat with quite some winctrl bus hardware in use. Therefore coming myself from heavy Fenix usage I jumped on the A340 instantly as it matches into my hardware scheme (in contrast to the 350/380 which for me personally are too modern cockpit wise). As others mentioned it has grown into a very stable and performing platform and especially I solely fly the older EIS1 version as the cockpit colors and the a bit older touch are just beautifully captured. It may not be as deep on systems as the Fenix but it brings some other nice touch into the daily ops with checking wear and tear on some components like checking oil, tires etc. And as also mentioned above, if you want a slightly different beast I would take a closer look on the MD11 (and the Tristar). I love the MD11 especially in the freighter ops and its bit different but to be honest very satisfying beast to master. The Tristar def nice if you want to go a step more classic into INS era but atm its already collecting dust in my hangar but more out of not having enough time to fly them all. Cheers T.

I'm coming from the same path... TCA sticks got bogus and got the ursa minor... Honestly at least on my hardware version its indeed little bit stiffer than the way old normal TCA but mostly identical to the TCA X stick. I have it in use for more than a year now and still quite happy. If you keep the little pads on the base clean the ursa minor is def glued to the desk in contrast to the much worse TCA stick and using the z axis def no problem on my side for the tiller (rudder on pedals).

I actually had the same and on GotFriends discord they explained what happened. MS Team released the 2020 version first. 2024 version was released delayed later. I bought it directly with the 2020 version but even did not notice. Same experience with clickspots. Then I had to restart my sim cause wanted to activate some scenery, sim started and telling me free update avail and I got the 2024 update version then. So all fine at least on my end now.

I own the Sierra, too. Wonderful addon and Momo did a real nice job with it. But its a 2020 plane and not using the 2024 G3Xv2. Its coming with a custom G3Xv1. Plus you have to select by livery which plane version you want. And there is no hot swapping for the nav instruments for the GTNs on the G3X versions. I'm still not aware of any 2024 native addon using the G3Xv2 that would support that. But if you have other examples let them come. Always happy to learn. Oh yes. The sounds. I actually had the luck to fly with one of our rw pilots the exact Sirius from which the sounds were recorded on a testflight to record some data. That was a fun day I will remember for quite some time.

Sorry if it sounded overreacting, wasn't my intention. But nowadays you have to deal a lot with a community - and not referring to you here - that actually approach you entitled with more knowledge than anybody else (amazingly even more knowledge than the dev and certified pilots on this type), demanding and even insulting, toxic or agressive. You really have to grow a thick skin to handle all this without getting it personal. The internet anonymity (some people think they have) seems to trigger people. There are still a lot of nice and constructive discussions so there is still hope. So being (overly) defensive is prob a side effect. And yes, I know what you have done with the "other main developers". I will def need some reviewer for answering you to be on the safe side as I'm no native speaker 😂

You seem to want to do some fighting about words here, aren't you? 😂 Raul is the one single main developer. With team I actually refer to the Dev, the testers, the moderators on his discord. But sure you will come up with another interpretation 🙃 Re the TDS: provide an example of another 2024 native plane with WT G3X and hot swap function for TDS GTN then, please? I was unhappy about the mod option also but its the way to go with the G3X sadly. And with option I was referring to a third option in the aircraft selection screen dedicated to TDS. In the end the TDS is only avail on PC so the mod approach is sufficient for most users. For consoles TDS is not avail. 2024 CFD? Yes.

Exactly that was the idea behind. Laying the 2024 native foundation for free for existing customers. But its both for the Sirius and the Sting not the end of life as especially the Sting has a special place in the teams heart. We have more plans for both. The Sounds are noted. If it would just be an alignment we would have done it. But the soundset it needs to be adapted quite a bit.

Why it took so long? Cause Raul - like I suppose you also - needs to pay bills and feed a family and therefore releasing a new plane the Phenom had higher priority. And converting the complete project to the new structure is a big technical update in the background that actually consumes time. There is no take this 2020 package and convert to native magic tool. The external mod for TDS is needed cause the WT G3X is not hot swappable sadly. And we did not want to provide a third variant option.

Painting already? Seeing 2020 mentioned I assume its still a 2024 legacy native like all blacksquare up to now following the 2020 file structure leading again to the variant/livery problem? Cheers T.

Hi, can you please disable all third party repaints and check the default paints again? We got some reports that some 3rd party liveries from .to seem to overwrite the dynamic reg settings leading to the observed behaviour. Cheers T.

Yes and that exactly has been done for all specific Phenom pages on the G3000. Quite a lot of work went into the G3000 enhancements to be honest. But it is tricky to mess with the basic features of the G3000 base as you a) will have to fork the base avionics generating more work and do not profit from updates coming from Working Title or you b) actively develop things for example via a plugin that are or maybe will be soon in the queue on the base avionics already but in most cases not announced to the public yet and then would clash again with the base avionics.

There is actually no benefit in downloading the plane except you have a real slow internet connection. Set it to streamed and you will always have the latest version and no need to update.

Actually the MFD is driven by the corresponding GTC input and its dials only. The buttons on the MFD are there in case you PFD fails and you will switch to the MFD as a reversionary backup display and then the buttons have their functions again they would have on the PFD. Sadly thats not simulated by the WT G3000 base yet.

Can you please elaborate about what MFD/PFD buttons do not work so that we can check if its a bug or a limitation of the Working Title G3000 base?

Nope, just checked. DC6 moved to complete 2024 native and new livery structure.
