Not being able to crash into a splat is a worthwhile compromise for better visuals. Close-up, I've already suspended belief due to melted photogrammetery, and I fly models that recommend disabling crash and damage detection, so it would make no difference.

Just checking you've disabled the default ATC and traffic?

You can disable automatic device driver updates. It's the first thing I do after I install Windows and before I install nVidia drivers, etc. Maybe this would prevent your Quest update. The setting is on the 'Hardware' tab of advanced system settings (the 'System' control panel). Screenshot 2026 09 21 115820 — Postimages

These are available now, has anyone tried them?

The PAYG method BATC uses with their Premium voices is perfect for me. I use the sim far less during summer and it chafes paying for a subscription I'm not using.

BATC uses its own engine to move AI traffic around the airport instead of relying on the sim not to mess things up. They penalty is the slight hesitations in AI aircraft movement you mentioned.

Steam updates automatically.

They wanted to use the Douglas DC-4 from the original movie (Zero Hour) but the studio refused, so they just used the engine sounds instead :)

A couple of nice features of Chaseplane is you can set a realistic FoV in each aircraft without needing developer mode (except once to get the zoom value), and it remembers the aircraft's view settings even if you remove and re-install the aircraft or sim (they're stored in the cloud.) I also added FSRealistic+ and love it (with touchdown comment disabled)
