Spot on. This beta testing by companies is out of control. But hey, we are programmed to accept mediocrity these days.

Let me get this straight. You've done very well in your duties but still get hauled over the coals. Sure the F/O isn't your wife ?

Anybody else having issues with aircraft ? Both PMDG and Fenix won't load now.

Go to you FSDT Universal Installer. When it fires up, bottom right you will see "Seated Passengers" and under that, Fenix A320 B2. Ensure that is checked. Worked for me.

So like the wife ?

And before you know it, $30 for this, $30 dollars for that. With no disrespect towards developers, it will become a snowball rolling down the mountain whereby everything will be a monthly subscription and this 'hobby' will be costing you hundreds of dollars a month.

In the few years Ive had MSFS2020, first flight today with ActiveSky was the first experience with thunderstorms and lightning. Job done.

Doesn't bode well for ActiveSky then does it.

Ok, thanks everyone.

Thanks for the reply. Have you tried the CFM aircraft, is it the same ?

Does anybody think the idle thrust is too much, IAE ? What i mean is as soon as brakes are released, the aircraft takes off without any thrust input and just builds up speed. Constantly having to get on the brakes to bring it under control, and i don't mean lightly, i have to be aggressive with the brakes to slow the aircraft down. Descent speed so far on two flights has me using speed-brakes a lot. Just wanted to make sure if this is now the new norm or whether i have an isolated issue. thanks. Pan Pan Pan

In real life, I used to struggle finding airports from a distance, not so much lining up. Even landmarks. I remember being on a Navex with my Instructor, he gave me an unexpected diversion to a different airfield. Along that route i worked out i would intersect a small lake at a particular time. Approaching that time i was on the lookout for it but couldn't see it. I was starting to think i had screwed up somehow and mentioned this to the Instructor, who in turn told me, " What the ____ do you think that is at our 11 o'clock ? I was gobsmacked, it was literally staring me in the face !

Hi JR, Thanks for your response, it's appreciated. AirSource certainly seems open for choice instead of being rigid, which i like. Thanks again.

I'm looking for a VA that allows me to fly any aircraft, anywhere. So if i want to fly a Qantas A320 from Perth to Christmas Island/Cocos Island even though Qantas don't fly that route, is there a VA which will give me the leeway to do that. I've seen AirSource, would the above be an option within that VA. Thanks.

I found with FSLTL the aircraft just park where they want. Airlines not in the correct spots, all over the place. PSXT have them parked correctly at the correct terminal. Another advantage is there is nothing better than flying a STAR and i can see the aircraft in front of me flying the same STAR and then , listening to them in real life communicating via Live ATC. Can’t get much more immersive than that. Negatives, sometimes they do weird things like track sideways whilst taxing, i put that down to something amiss with the real aircraft’s antenna. Also you may have to do a bit of ‘self ATC’ to keep separated from other aircraft but that usually amounts to speeding up or down. Yes it is subscription, but what i pay is equivalent to going out for a meal. It will however be the only subscription i will pay for.
