Well, a potential buyer asked something similar on the FSL forum but since he is not a customer yet, no access to MSFS section, he won't get a reply. that's so messed up...

Not a review but a first look / impressions. The UI, is the first thing you see when you are opening the sim and I don't know about you, but personally I like to spend the first 30min or so looking at every menus, new functions and aircrafts before starting a flight. If you go on a tinder date, the girl welcome you with a burp on purpose, even if the rest of the evening is going well, you will heavily remember that.

1. It's lagging, like nothing is running offline, feels like a stylish website 2. Horizontal scrolling. For 4 years we used Vertical, why change? 3.Aircraft selection tiles, top half a picture, bottom half, nothing, nearly everything in a single line that's too big to fit the tile, why not using it for the stats, or fit more plane, so no need to scroll for 40sec. 4. Select an aircraft, press configure, then save and back, you won't see your aircraft anymore, you will need to scroll back to it. 5. In the configure menu, you have the aircraft rendered in 3d, but it's static, why no hangar type of view, where you can move the plane around, missed opportunity here and no more hangar. 6. Sometime small plane are tiny in 3D and similar size one is too big to fit the screen I am giving only a few exemple here, it's fancy, but makes no sense to me. I am also happy to learn that the recommended landing surface for the ATR72-600F is water... Like before release, nobody from the QA spent 15min, going over each plane.

It's not so bad. Today I did a flight in a hot air balloon. At 1000ft, the basket propelled itself over the balloon and even with the burner still throwing flames upward, I was able to reach 5000ft/min. Before that it was only 3-4000ft/min. A least it made me feel better than the UI

You are quite optimistic, from the stream the dev said after the airbus line, so it could well be after an A330. For Concorde lover, that sucks

I agree, looking at the screenshots it's not the best looking cockpit. Let's hope the MSFS version will be the same quality as the A300B4 from Justflight

Interesting, why that?

Concorde after the Airbus line... what a bummer...

What a bad decision...

Is it official? If real that makes the career mode quite useless for me...

I am really interested about the career mode, just hope that 3RD parties dev will make their aircrafts compatible with it. It could also be a new market, dev specialized in making courses and flight tests, for addon planes. Imagine AOA, angle of attack interactive training, for the A320, B737, etc..., that would be quite awesome, and a great way to learn a new aircraft A bit like Boris for the sound.

Cheers 👍

Wasn't yesterday stream supposed to be about 4 TBA Developers rather than a single one? What happened?

As soon as it's released as soon the addon devs will start converting and optimise/improve, at least I hope so, their planes/sceneries/etc... for it

Just wondering how addons aircrafts will be implemented in the career mode. Will third parties fill up the necessary data, like cost of purchase, maintenance, ect... and will they go a step forward by doing voiced lessons and certifications themself or use some help from an external company. I am 100% ready to pay extra for that, would beat any online tutorial in term of enjoyment. I also hope MSFS2024 will allow charts viewing on another PC or on a tablet/smartphone. I would really like to see a mission hub, like the world hub, where people can create exciting missions with voices, failures, events, etc... and why not integrate them in the career mode.
