Flightsim Studios E-Jets on sale until 31st May
Im interested in the FSS E-Jets. Where are they at right now? I know the early access release has pretty much been a disaster. But how are the systems, FMS, sounds etc? Im assuming at least some progress has been made towards making it a usable aircraft.

iFly B737 Max upcoming new EFB explained (YT)
After SP1, the next thing on the agenda is the FS2024 native model along with the MAX-9. At this rate, we'll all be on FS2028 by the time that sees the light of day! 🤣

[14MAY26] PMDG Update
This is the sentence Im most interested in. I take it that this is referring to the 747.

Rhodiumcode developing A350 for MSFS
I love the INI A350. I'm flying it right now in fact. But it's certainly not without it's issues. If Rhodiumcode can come up with an A350 that performs better and has deeper system depth etc, I'd definitely be willing to overlook the visual side of things and give it a shot.

IniBuilds L-1011: How will you fly the TriJet ?
I do think they should've included an FMS as one of the navigation options. Especially for those that to like to fly online. Imagine getting a reroute on Vatsim, good luck with that!

LGA crash: video of the incident.
Apparently, the controller was responsible for both ground and tower. He was dealing with an emergency aircraft on the ground while singlehandedly controlling all movements at a very busy airport. Totally unexceptible. One person can only deal with so much before becoming totally task saturated.

Contrail FA50: FSWeekend 26 trailer published
I forgot about this one. Looks great! With this and the Skyward Simulations C680 coming soon too, it looks like we're going to be well catered for when it comes to high quality bizjets this year.

FTSim Aircraft Sounds
I've tried a few. The packages for the default Longitude, CJ4 and Kingair are very good and a must have in my opinion. The set for the PMDG 777 wasn't great. The good thing is you can just take out a one month subscription on Patreon, download the ones you want, and then just cancel it again.

Pour one out for the Tomcat, boys…
I wonder if any F-14s will be made airworthy for the airshow circuits now? I believe one of the key factors for the aircraft not being allowed to enter civilian hands was the risk of spare parts making their way over to Iran.

C680 Sovereign+ Coming Soon! Trailer
After looking into this project a little more closely, I think this has the potential to be one of the best bizjets ever released. Great system depth, sounds by Boris, datalink on the G5000 (a first?). The devs are really active on discord too. Posting in-development stuff and answering questions. Something I'd like to see more of from other developers.

C680 Sovereign+ Coming Soon! Trailer
This is exactly what I want to know. It's why Im not a huge fan of these cinematic trailers. Yes, it looks good. But, looks are only half the story. I want to see more long tech demo videos created by the actual developers who made the aircraft. I want to know about the work that's gone into making the aircraft as realistic as possible.

Anything really broken with the iniBuilds A350?
I love the A350. After a few performance issues when moving to FS2024 (a problem on my end, not the aircraft). I've flown it pretty much exclusively. Combine it with Flight sim first officer, and you have yourself a fantastic long haul aircraft.

iniBuilds February L1011 Tristar Update
Really looking forward to this one. Hope we get a freighter in the future.

Aircraft addons expected in 2026 - please add
I was just about to mention this one. Have there been any recent updates? Im guessing the release of FS2024 has thrown a spanner in the works.

FENIX A319/A321 expansion
Im sure Fenix simulates all the subtle differences between the different models, including the flight dynamics. The A321 for example has options for additional fuel tanks I believe.

UPS announces it has retired all it's remaining MD-11Fs
It's unfortunate that the UPS md-11s didn't get a proper send off. I doubt the FedEx fleet will be far behind now.

I'm really enjoying the MadDog 20th Anniversary Edition!
Anyone know if there's a freighter version planned for the maddog?

I can barely wait for 2026
Interesting. First I've heard about this. If it's anywhere close to the old project tupolev model, it'll be decent.

I can barely wait for 2026
My highlight next year will be PMDG's 747s. Especially the classics.

FS2024 New user Extremally poor performance
Just ran through this and the results seem promising. I also disabled Smooth motion in the Nvidia app and re-enabled frame generation in the sim. A350 on the ground at KMIA with loads of AI traffic. No fps drops or stuttering, even when panning. Looks like this could potentially be problem solved (fingers crossed!). Thanks to everyone for taking the time to offer me suggestions and help. Hopefully, this thread could be of some value to someone else in the future too.

FS2024 New user Extremally poor performance
Thought this might of worked for a brief moment, but no lol. Even ChatGPT seems to be stumped with this one. What do you think could be causing this? I still have FS2024 installed (maybe not for much longer at this rate). Been sitting here for the last 8 hours trying to get to the bottom of this. Im about to start ripping my hair out! I do have HAGS enabled. Im noticing now, the sim is fine unless I start panning the camera around or moving the aircraft. At the first sign of any movement, the mainthread takes a hammering and goodbye FPS over 20.

FS2024 New user Extremally poor performance
I don't have anything set to ultra apart from off screen terrain pre-caching. Everything is either medium or high. I've turned frame generation off. I seemed to be making the situation worse. I'll give smooth motion a try now. It's frustrating because I had none of these issues with FS2020. Even lowering my resolution to 1440p isn't making any difference.
