MSFS2024 through Steam or MS Store
Torsen replied to antney79's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020/2024)
Its a quite religious question. Go with the version you like. Both work fine. Like with different sims you will have these extremely loud voices praising their preferred way as you can see above. I use Steam for other stuff and don't like it that much. I use store for the Sims and don't like it that much. 😄 But both never let me down so far and contrary to others I never had Store problems and I'm a constant beta user. For me a clear why should I make a detour for the Sim when its coming from MS. IMHO there is no single advantage in using one or the other. Cheers T. -
Turbine Duke vs FSR 500...?
Torsen replied to UrgentSiesta's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020/2024)
I have both and fly them both on a regular base. Me think you can't really put them aside. The 500 is coming with a full Navigraph integration both in EFB and G1000 coupled. A little airliner. The flight model and wear and tear are a slight level above the Dukes. The Dukes are more concentrating on the engine part only. The Dukes come classic with GPS options. Very different approach. Dukes are both piston and turbine flying very nice in 2024. I got the Dukes bundle and always thought I would spend most of the time in the turbine version. BUT its the other way around. I find the turbine one much more sterile and boring (and that's not meant in any way negative) to fly than the piston sibling. The piston Duke is just much more immersive for me, sounds, startup etc... But that's subjective for sure. I would def get the Dukes in addition to the 500. Def very different scenarios to fly them. Cheers T. -

MFS2024 Marketplace is Live!
Torsen replied to Cyrex1984's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020/2024)
Don't get me wrong. It is at least a sign of progress and any sign of progress in regards of giving a relief to the 3rd party devs is good. But still nightmare cause there is still no timing for when 3rd party products will be available. Let us hope that the remaining issues get resolved in the next days but the reason why the marketplace was opened is quite clear. -
MFS2024 Marketplace is Live!
Torsen replied to Cyrex1984's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020/2024)
A big disappointment. Clearly released only to get the world update out. No third party products and no schedule given. A nightmare for all 3rd party devs. -
Kodiak update (last one for MSFS2020)
Torsen replied to St Mawgan's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020/2024)
For 2020 compatibility planes with G1000v1 this will only work from worldscreen. If you use the 2024 EFB on the worldscreen for planning you can send it to the older 2020 Kodiak Garmins. But you can't change or plan with flight loaded. This will work only for 2024 native planes. Cheers T. -
FFX P-180 Just Dropped On Marketlace
Torsen replied to btacon's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020/2024)
I tend to agree but I'm definitely not overwhelmed. It's solid but not en par with for example a FSR500 or the Dukes and it will have def a hard standing against the Starship from what we got up to now. Small things that drive me a bit off atm: Cockpit graphics don't catch me. The EFB is lets say very mildly kind of very basic and more a disturbance than of big help. Things like chocks showing on parking brake should not happen in the league flightfx wants to play in, those things have to go into the EFB. A missing manual on the other hand quite a big negative point. It doesn't help that its in the works atm, thats too late. Manuals have to be ready before release and in best case released before product to get potential customers convinced. Checklists in sim avail but not very informative on numbers and details. Def have seen better ones. And quite some buttons inop in the cockpit like all basic ground tests. Did only a short flight up to now but behaving nice and feels believable and sounds good. It fills def a niche with its performance numbers. I hope it gets some more love as it deserves a higher level of fidelity for sure. Cheers T. Update: I stand corrected on the manual... its avail now linked in their discord. And the Chocks are only triggered if you have them marked to use in EFB. Still not nice that they trigger with parking brake as they should have an impact on movement when in place. -
Learjet 35A - cant open 2D panels
Torsen replied to hangar331's topic in Flysimware Turbojet Aircraft
I don't know where you got these popup info from but the current manual for the MSFS Lear 35A doesn't mention anything of that. But it shows you where to find the switches and EFB pages for payload etc. and stuff. The current version can be downloaded from here: https://flysimware.com/website2019/learjet-35a-msfs2020/ Hope that helps. Cheers T. -
Learjet 35A - cant open 2D panels
Torsen replied to hangar331's topic in Flysimware Turbojet Aircraft
There are no 2d panels in msfs. Use the EFB instead. Cheers T. -
Add-on aircraft specific to 2024?
Torsen replied to Ron Attwood's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020/2024)
Yes its known bug within SWS. You can actually try the glass cockpit version of the RV-8 and there the TDS will be bright as usual. -
Add-on aircraft specific to 2024?
Torsen replied to Ron Attwood's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020/2024)
Yes, confirmed. Unless Asobo fixes the underlying issue you will have to wait for the Dev issue some hotfix as a workaround. That's effecting most 2020 compatibility planes atm unless the dev didn't took care already. Cheers T. -
Add-on aircraft specific to 2024?
Torsen replied to Ron Attwood's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020/2024)
Except the T33 and the Cub these are all 2020 planes, no ports. Me think there is sometimes still a bit of misunderstanding about 2020 compatibility mode and 2024 native planes. All these planes like A2A, SWS, FSW, FSReborn etc are just still 2020 planes, even compiled in 2020 if they use wasm, nothing more. Some will have some slight updates that will workaround some issues like the instrument brightness (built in or manually added like on the Comanche) etc but will work nonetheless exactly in 2020 and 2024. Cheers T. -
Add-on aircraft specific to 2024?
Torsen replied to Ron Attwood's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020/2024)
Me think the OP's question was 2024 NATIVE aircraft. And that's what @Tim-HH correctly stated are only the mentioned ones above (payware A300, T33, J3 Cub plus the free Fouga Glider ). There are a lot of 2020 compatible mode aircraft around but they all will not use 2024 native features, though they will benefit from the base sim changes like smooth transition between ground and flight etc. All this 2024 "updated" aircraft run still in 2020 compatibility mode. They will usually be the same for 2020 and 2024 like all three FSReborn, Flysimware 414 and Lear, the A2A Comanche, Cows Diamond etc etc... Cheers T.
