Aside from the E-Jets E1/E2, an ERJ-145 would also be nice. The FeelThere one back in the day wasn't bad at all, and it's a cool little plane for short hops.

Yes... I noticed that too. I am using a fuel factor of minus 8 in Simbrief now for the A320 CFM. That matches up pretty good with the predictions on the INIT B page in the MCDU. In the aircraft itself, I don't change anything.

That is not surprising, there are hardly any (if any at all?) Airbuses left to be done at this point. 😆

This also sounds really promising for future ini developments. Hoping that they will build a high-quality regional jet or prop. Maybe Embraer E190 or a Q400?

What a coincidence, Age of Empires III (also published by Microsoft) just had a DLC called "The Baltic Powers", also featuring the Polish.😀 Would have loved to see the Caribbean or the Aegean Islands/Greece, but any addition is welcome.

Thanks to all the paying beta testers. Might take another look at it when it's at V1.3.9 or thereabouts 😀

Very quickly, and I didn‘t even report a critical error, just a suggestion for improvement.

I‘m European but I won‘t be picking this up either for now. I have barely been able to really fly the A340 and A350, so adding an even bigger longhaul aircraft to my hangar would be madness. We need more quality regional jets or props for this simulator.

In other words, completely normal streamer behavior.

Regional differentiation is where BATC already shines really bright... in FAA land I mostly get visual approaches (if weather conditions permit). EASA countries it's mostly your typical ILS (or RNAV, perhaps even VOR) approach.

Lately it's been very quiet about the Fenix NEOs... I wonder when to realistically expect them to drop.

It's been a while... FlightFX Reveals Upcoming E145 - FSElite

Are you ready for the LDA Z 22?

Once again I feel more than vindicated in my decision not buy anything on release day anymore 😄 thanks to all the "beta testers", though

Thanks a lot, will use it more often as our most beloved become retired more and more, if they haven‘t already.

Does anyone remember the website/database with historic flight schedules? It was quite useful if you want to operate flight schedules of the past realistically.

Boris did the sounds... that's one thing that gets it going for me

Looks like a substantial update, nice. I have to admit that I enjoy flying the A321 NEO more and more, and in fact prefer it over the Fenix buses by now… Hopefully, the A320 NEO will follow some time soon.

It's going to be an expensive summer

Seems like they just wanted to show something for the sake of showing...

Looks and sounds like a straight port from FSX/P3D. Back in the day that level of graphical detail and quality was acceptable, because it was also performance friendly. They will need to step up their game for MSFS 2024 considerably.

Found this in a Google search, directly from the NTSB homepage. Might be relevant for those interested in realistic SWA operations. https://data.ntsb.gov/Docket/Document/docBLOB?ID=18862560&FileExtension=pdf&FileName=Operational%20Factors%20-%20Attachment%203%20-%20Southwest%20Airlines%20B737%20Normal%20Checklist-Rel.pdf

Yes... I have kept my Navigraph subscription as well. Not all airlines use LIDO, it's mostly a European thing. In the rest of the world, Jeppesen still dominates. Perhaps it's a bit over the top, but I like to use the chart supplier of the airline I'm flying in the simulator.

If you have an external tablet, the charts will display just fine there, even though there is no dedicated app (yet).

Just did my first flight with the most recent update, albeit a short one (MUC-STR, 45 minutes block time). Vectoring was the best I've ever experienced. Basically true to life judging by the flight pah of the actual real world flight. Can't say much about ground handling, conflicts etc., yet because there wasn't much to handle, Munich is very efficient anyways and there is hardly any traffic at Stuttgart these days... taxi clearance to the gate was on point, though. My hope/request for the future: More local copilot voices. I need an Italian first officer with a thick accent for my flights. 😅 BATC is such a gem.
