Wrong model. A bit over a year ago, I tried to get Grok and ChatGPT to generate airline schedules and they did terribly. Claude Cowork - no issues. Does it cleanly without duplication and will build you a widget. I've used it to build a similar form and smart pricing tool at work and it has done admirably (though the codebase is a mess and I've had to rewrite a lot of it to introduce a "price book" instead of a bunch of arcane rules that need updating every time)

TAS? Or IAS? How fast are you expecting it to go? It's not a Q400, you should be seeing TAS around 240 at altitude.

Ryan, stop giving me PTSD.

The Citation X has an auto-tune function - unless you put a frequency in the box, it's going to auto-tune whatever it thinks is appropriate to (I think) do position updating. Not a bug - operator error.

Passenger announcements - scripts for branding? How is the voice synthesis handled? Would be neat if we could have a company defined, custom announcement flow, etc., but obviously those are reach goals to me. Maybe a couple options for when to trigger certain announcements, save them to an airline profile. Could also potentially provide custom scripts for the announcements. I was a flight attendant, I've always been thinking about how to get just the right crew mod lol This sounds very interesting - I'll pick up a license in a few weeks when I can get back to simming. Congrats on the release!

Not really basing this on anything but it might be mostly a Sierra Division project, publishing under FlyTampa with some sort of sharing of the labor. SD looks like a pretty competent modeler.

Sure makes me suspicious when they say the project "reimagined" the idea of a console, and will play both XBox and PC games. I basically have that today, it's called Steam Remote Play lol

I will laugh so hard I may never recover if this is launched and revealed to basically be a thin client for streamed content

FSS seems to have a real issue with WASM crashes across products - I haven't really been able to complete a flight in the 727 either, consistently WASM will crash sometimes before takeoff. Shame to hear it's happening so much with the EJets too, have been steadily reporting these as I encounter them but they don't seem to have or be pursuing a fix...

Certainly not ready for deployment today - but a great step in the right direction! Anything that gets these products off the (very expensive) commercial compute roller coaster will be good for customers and enable more features. The biggest issue with SI right now, imo, is that it's got a lot of partially baked features that are interesting, but use a ton of compute. At least this would be a step in the right direction.

I wonder if either SI or BATC will look at going with Qwen3-TTS - open source, voice design as easy as Eleven Labs, so much less expensive than premium price AI compute. Could really change the math on both services, the voice quality is excellent. https://huggingface.co/spaces/Qwen/Qwen3-TTS

VPNs are sometimes to blame for this - a couple times a day I'll encounter a link or something that just doesn't work or throws Forbidden and it works fine once I log out of the VPN. Probably Cloudflare etc. IP blacklisting the VPN server

Here's the problem - if enough of you will this into existence, and it will come true. What have they done since release? - Steady improvements to the aircraft - Sounds like the -300/400 are coming along nicely - They bent to all of the ridiculously loud whining about not understanding the pricing model - EFB enhancements, new flight model for the winglets 737-5, sound rework coming So, frankly, what are you expecting? If you just don't like them, you can say that, but saying they aren't "bother[ing] to improve their game" just isn't a fair assessment of the developer. I can't even say that about devs I would argue are more malicious actors in the space!

Granted the Imaginesim came out around the same time my last PC exploded, but I've tried flying in there a few times and get absolutely horrendous performance, I'm not expecting much better with ini but with Imaginesim we know we're not getting supported updates and if there's a memory leak it could go unaddressed for years. Will probably pick this one up, switching to 2024 finally anyways.

There were so many things kicking around in the Load Manager that had been implemented back in FS9 and P3D days that I'm sure there was a lot of fat to trim. Would imagine stuff like the W&B got moved into the sim, getting rid of that duplication, etc.
