I like to play with the new coolness and become proficient in the systems and buttonology but focus generally on stuff that is routinely flying IRL rather than stuff like the MD-11 or F70/100. I find that I rarely have time to do more than get the sim up to cruise before it's time to go somewhere, do something, or go to bed. Life gets in the way. And that's ok.

Given all of the options available for many of the payware aircraft, is there a resource that identifies, by airline and/or by specific aircraft, configuration information? That is - which engines, which avionics, etc.

Fully appreciate the cost concern. That having been said, with the intended systems depth, it seems a bargain to me. There are a lot of payware options, so I generally try to buy ones that are actually routinely flying in the real world first. So - I don't yet have MD-11 or The F100/F70 but I couldn't resist the L10-11. That having been said, I usually wait at least a month after initial release to let them work out bugs, which is why I don't yet have the FSS Ejet.

This looks outstanding! Thanks for sharing this!

Is anyone aware of any app that can act as an automatic flight dispatcher that you can give it an airline as an input and it will automatically dispatch a city pair based upon the real airline schedule and equipment and you can then have an option to use the ending airport as the starting airport for future flights? No need for it to generate a route or a payload. Just a city pair and aircraft type based upon real survive schedules. I'm not interested in joining a VA, and the apps that I've found require you to log the flight with a tool that files a PIREP. Looking for something self-contained. I'm not interested in picking a flight from a list. Just pick an airline with an optional selection of a departure city and it'll pick a random flight for you.

Do we know this for a fact? If you actually download and install rather than just streaming after purchasing from the marketplace, will this work?

This. I have AIG and FSLTL models. One installed airport, everything else streamed. From the initial 0% to when ready to click the button to bring me to the main menu: 6 minutes 17 seconds.

I'm a little bit confused about how to properly use GSX with various add-ons. Fenix, PMDG, etc. Have the ability to call for services in the EFB and in the FMC/MCDU. How do I know whether to use the EFB, the FMC/MCDU or the GSX Pro menu?

Right-click the game in your library, select Properties > Installed Files, and click Verify integrity of game files

Try repairing MSFS2024 by right clicking on the app icon in the start menu. Took my load times from 5 mins down to 2.

I'm using the current release version of MSFS2024 (MS Store version) and I've noticed that a lot of the KPHL parking locations are incorrect - several GA parking spots are placed at the terminal gates. Anyone else have this issue? Anyone have recommendations for the best payware KPHL for MSFS2024?

I edited my post to clarify that I don't need AIG to inject the traffic - I just would like the models. If that can be done with just installing the basepack and doing nothing else, great.

Yeah, if I have to iteratively update after an install, I'm not going to waste my time. I'll just stick with FSLTL models until such time as a basepack install is truly one click - I don't need AIG to push traffic - I'm using BATC or MSFS live traffic for that.

So I'm a little confused. Do I need to update the flightplans if I just want the liveries? Download and install the basepack and done? If I rerun AI Manager it says that flightplans need to be installed and there are updates.
