Sounds immersive! Im definitely up for trying it. If done right I’d really like to see it on other planes as well..

I'm with you on this. I don't care who is reporting. The data is the data and doesn't care about your political affiliation or if you're a billionaire (or billionaire supporter) or not. We should be trying to see ways we can save people who may be impacted by this weather event. If the deniers are right? Great at least we were prepared for the worst. If the scientist are right, then we may have chance to save people.

If you're enjoying the A380, then yes, I would recommend the 350. It was a no brainer for me. Trust them to fix anything that pops up.

They will need a new revenue stream. We should be getting a 2028 version then 2 years of work at least. This would be the end of the 10 year commit correct?

I do a lot of belief suspension in the sim, but it gets VERY hard to do when I get "report traffic in sight" and I can't see any. Or contrails and no airplane. I try very hard not to complain, but dam... can more attention be paid to some of the fundamentals? (Traffic and weather?)

I'm all for everyone getting a World Update. I'd like to see what Africa has to offer and not just South Africa or Egypt. I'd like to see the areas around Kuala Lumpur and south east Asia get a look. India would be good. The Middle East. Maybe these places have the same issue as China and the geo political stuff, but IMO, it would be nice to see other areas than the 2nd or 3rd (Insert North America or European) country update.

For my part, I find it strange that a flight simulator does not have an emphasis on weather. Weather, IRL, determines if a flight even goes or not. I get it, it's just a "game", but what are we doing if weather is not even the biggest concern. IMO, I'm not sure they need to have something so intrinsic to the activity of flying need a ton of upvotes. That said, I like to believe I'm a reasonable person and had a reasonable expectation that 2024 would be fixed up in no time as the company would have learned from 2020. Yet, here we are in 2026 and the biggest lessons seem to be how to pass on visual simulator regressions. It's still a good sim, but if I had my druthers, I'd like to see weather fixed (systems and sim depictions), ATC structure fixed, the culling of entire planes fixed, then so on. Until that stuff is fixed, if ever, I'll continue until something better comes along. It's pretend flying so, I just pretend everything is OK.

I have a similar issue with the DA62 (default) plane. Engine 2 will not start but 1 will.

Thank you for this, but I have tried this several times to no avail. Additionally, tried clearing both CPT and FO's messages and "COMPANY MESSAGE" will not disappear for me. I guess it just likes my COMPANY... I tried the Google AI answers and none of the three suggestions made it go away either. (Deleting the WASM, clearing all messages, and changing options about auto receiving messages)

My quick two cents: I have been exclusively flying the A350 for a few months. I enjoy the hell out of it. Does it have problems? Yes it does: 1) "Company message" will not disappear 2) With GSX on, "Ground" will flash constantly 3) Every AIRAC update is kinda wonky. (I have to update the new data more than once before it takes and displays the correct date) 4) Terrain data doesn't seem to download correctly 5) I have WASM crashes 3 times in over a year of flying Even with the above I have no issues continuing with the plane and buying the A380. I'm reasonably confident they will fix this.

I see a Steam sale for MSFS2020, MSFS2024 and FSX SE. MSFS2024: 30% off ($48.99) MSFS2020: 65% off ($20.99) FSX:SE 80% off ($4.99) Good time to grab one or all if you do not have them.

Good info in this thread. I came here as I’m looking for more immersion in my flights. Typically I’ll get fixated on an airliner for awhile (a350) currently, then fly short to mid routes (which aren’t real world routes but I don’t care about that). GSX helps with the little animated people getting on and off as well as ground crew. Id like what SayIntentions does with the flight attendants where they speak about flight times, weather, destination information etc… however I’m not interested in a subscription. I was looking at Self Loading Cargo. Anyone have experience with that? For an airline management game that is NOT MSFS based, look up SkyCharts: Airline Executive. It seems pretty deep.

I grew up with gaming and I don't mind watching games. I still actively play WoW and I love 4x games (gee your mind out of the gutter!). On Steam, I recently purchased SkyChart Airline Executive. If you remember Aerobiz, it's a more complex version of that game. I think many on this site would actually love this game. (You create an airline and manager several variables not the last of which are airplanes, routes hubs, etc..) Then you have historical events like WW2 and such all the way into the future. I plan on buying Tokon (A Marvel fighting game) as soon as its available. If you like Marvel characters, give it a look. I play Street Fighter 6. One of these days I'll finish Tyranny and move on to Baldur's Gate 3 and Divinity Original Sin (the last few games are Computer Role Playing Games. (CRPGs) and are full of story and action. My truth about gaming as I age: Do what you want!
