I mean they specifically identified the issue, map projection. That's not the typical functionality limitation that devs have mentioned in the past. They can't meaningfully overlay the radar on top of their projection used for their terrain and airport map functionality. If they were provided access to the data it would be possible, but less so when you're basically handed a rendered output. I don't begin to understand the possibility of reprojection within the confines of the sim, but as a GIS enthusiast, the limitation makes sense to me. 🤷♂️ If you want things to improve, complain to Asobo about not giving devs enough access to sim weather data. This thing is quickly becoming my most anticipated addon of the year. Can't wait!

YMMV. I often do it for ini planes but not others, but I have more crashes with them than the others.

As a Midwesterner by birth it's cool to see the area get a little bit of attention. Can't wait to fly into Chicago and MSP to check it out!

Whether he was talking to himself, an imaginary friend, AI, or his neighbor, he didn't say anything incorrect. This is the biggest flop for MSFS, imo. The whole thing has been a dumpster fire- the product, the developer's response and actions. 🔥🔥🔥 Thankfully xcrafts v2 ejets exist so I can enjoy the type in X-Plane. Luckily their 727 came out a lot better!

Man I remember when FDX was operating the 727 there. At one point I lived a mile or so down the road and you'd always hear the NW Airlink Saab 340s in beta, the Airborne Express MD-80, and the FedEx 727. Then Gulfstream invaded... 🙃 Wow just checked it out on flightaware and Delta is flying an A320 out of there and FDX is now using the 757. My little hometown airport is growing up. 🥲

Woop, hopefully some more folks will try out my freeware scenery modification now that SU5 is official. It's not perfect now but it's probably as good as it's going to get based on Asobo's comments. External tools that push TLOD out to 600+ do help a lot > FL250. Make night flying way more realistic by hiding all of those silly street lights in rural areas like mountains, plains, and other undeveloped areas.

This is absolutely awful news. I’ve been using it every single flight since it came out. What a shame. Give your AI planes a hug today. 😭

Woop Chaseplane is updated for SU5 beta! Now I can finally use my DarkStreets addon! 🤩🤩🤩

This is awesome! Please keep it updated with your latest findings @JonathanC. Times are a changin' and more and more folks are feeling alienated by Microslop. Linux gaming is growing in popularity and new products like the MacBook Neo are going to get even more folks on non-Windows platforms.

I too think the cockpit visuals are pretty good, a solid “B” in my book. I’d rate the sounds even lower than you did, though. I don’t know why it is so hard for companies to get decent CF6 sounds, ini’s suck too. Barely passable grade for those. PWs are only marginally better. We really need Boris to do some CF6 sounds to show what’s possible! Overall I quite enjoy it. It’s part of the top, most used aircraft in my fleet among the various PMDG and Fenix birds.

I’d probably wait until you switch to SU5. The effect is not very good with 2024 SU4. I don’t know anything about modifying the effects themselves, sorry.

Honestly I have been pretty shy about advertising it since it still isn't working completely in 2024. Was hoping there would be more word of mouth from folks who enjoyed it. It gets a nice bump on the TO every week or so, but I suspect that will be over shortly unless I try to evangelize a bit. I do feel like a lot more people would enjoy it, but at the same time I don't want to be annoying about promotion.
