I must be. Although, that one was certainly a few years ago now. Been so many releases and previews recently, it's no wonder I'm confused!

I could've sworn in one of the early previews they showed a conventional cockpit with a GTN unit right in the centre. I don't mind the GNS unit. I'm familiar with it as FSS uses it in their 727. However, it looks like it may have a few extra features in the FA50.

Is there a conventional cockpit version available? I remember seeing it in the preview screenshots. I'd definitely prefer the steam gauge cockpit paired with the TDS GTN 750.

I'll be watching this one closely. Who remembers the old Project Tupolev 154M for FS9? So far ahead of its time, and my vote for the best freeware aircraft of all time. Hopefully, FlightSim Studio can do this aircraft justice. Wonder if the old RSBN navigation system will be simulated?

Looks absolutely incredible. I flew with airBatlic to Latvia a couple of weeks ago on one of their A220s. I couldn't believe how comfortable the experience was. Huge windows, great leg room, and not to mention that awesome sound! Really looking forward to this one. Also, a great opportunity to learn a different set of avionics other than the Boeing and Airbus norms.

Looks awesome! WASM issues aside, iniBuilds have been releasing a lot of great aircraft in recent years. MSFS definitely wouldn't be the same without them, that's for sure.

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.

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! 🤣

This is the sentence Im most interested in. I take it that this is referring to the 747.

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.

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!

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.

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.

I'm sure I've simply just started a subscription before, downloaded the ones I wanted, and just canceled it again only having to pay just the one month. Admittedly, it's been a while since I did that. $18 is probably a little steep for what they are.

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.

I had 3000 set on the FCU, which was the stop altitude of the SID I was flying. Either way, its a pretty serious bug that needs to be rectified quickly.

Happened to me earlier on my first flight since the update. Hopefully, the fix is available quickly. Does make you question what sort of testing (or lack of) went into the update as it's a pretty big and obvious bug.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Really looking forward to this one. Hope we get a freighter in the future.

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.

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.

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.
