Is it a KAP 140 autopilot?  You should be able to adjust the baro pressure for the autopilot.

Don't be a stick in the mud, you know what they meant.

Oh you guys missed that ridiculous quote from another member?  Bummer haha. 

What’s FS2020?

i think you mean MSFS or you aren’t credible. 

Only on Avsim lol....

Who cares?

I got the Beta today, no alpha access before this though.

i5-2500K OC'd @ 4ghz, 16GB DDR3, GTX 970.  Guess we'll see how it goes!

In the 2nd large paragraph of the Navblue press release

Ah, missed that.  
 

still, even if it is a subscription, most people are paying for one somewhere anyways

No way to know for sure but I would guess that there may be an extra charge in the for of a subscription for that service.

People keep saying that, and no mention at all of that in the release, so I doubt it. 
 

where do you see “post launch service”?

Oh wow, one of the airports they updated is a CFB Greenwood (CYZX), a Canadian Air Base in in Nova Scotia. In P3DV4 it had no buildings, and no parking spots except the fuel pump. I never expected this to be ever be touched up in the base game. I mean I'll be replacing it immediately as soon as MAIW is updated to V5, but still it's nice to see.

 

Why does it look like a desert?

The first thing that pop into my mind was NOTAMs.  

Pilots don’t actually read NOTAMs, come on 🙂

However Asobo seems to be taking the easy way out and just flattening the entire airport

Of course they won't, because they can't, they have not implemented undulation of airport surface based on the underlying mesh.

They literally said they implemented runway slopes according to charts.  

Every time people have said “Microsoft won’t be able to do this, so there’s room for aftermarket” there’s been a video showing people to be wrong.  Or very close to wrong.  
 

it’s weird that people don’t want the default game to be amazing.   I’d love to buy the game and not spend another penny on it.

Makes wonder what role many of todays 3rd party addon creators are going to have when MS20 is released, from what I can see many are being made almost obsolete or they'll have to vastly change their business model atleast. The likes of Orbx and the many scenery creators are going to have a hard time selling to us when the base product in the game is already of very good quality.

 

Hell, they could even put highly experienced teams on creating aircraft and sell them as DLC that could even rival the best current 3rd party creators. 

Good.  Imagine not having to pay $100 just so the ground textures look kinda real.  Or $50 for an airport.  
 

I'm hoping that the base game is just perfectly usable.   Maybe the days of weather and big sweeping terrain add-ons are done.

I wonder 

Yes it’s going to be interesting how they manage the live traffic on the ground correctly. And also If GA is implemented. 

GA is implemented.   I’m not in the alpha, but a friend is, and he followed our PC-12 that we were flying in real life on the sim, from Toronto to Quebec.  The PC-12 was modelled in game, flew our route, our altitude, and with our weather.  
 

It seems like it’s really well implemented. 

Aircraft can be worn without being dirty.  Not too many planes get their interiors repainted often....

We have seen the external model of the 747-8i to date.....and that's it. How have you determined the new position of the bar based on so little data?

Because he was talking about adapting an FSX model to FS2020 and nothing that was made for FSX will look anything like that 748.

Exactly and perhaps adapt old FSX models to the new dynamics and 3D standards...

If the 748 is anything to go by, I wouldn't spend a penny on anything that was in FSX.  The bar has been raised.  Time for people to meet it.

And at least 4 in English that I can think of - a collection of energy cells (I.e the batteries that are always running out in the tv remote), a group of big guns, a large group of small animals (or it might be the things the animals are kept in - e.g battery hens), and a type of physical abuse. Hopefully they’ll have a pop up explaining which one they mean in the sim. 

Five at least.

A pitcher-catcher duo in baseball is called a Battery. 

People read NOTAMS in real life?  News to me haha.

Honestly, anything resembling real water physics would be great.  How airplanes interact with the water is the #1 difference in flying a seaplane and no game has even come close.  I'd love to be able to spin a Twin Otter around on it's axis like you can in real life.

I disagree with the notion global travelling is the same and you do not feel any differences.

I do mostly long haul Flights to many destination and I will point out some routs to show you the difference

I know the default cities are boring. Same buildings and layouts. But You can add some megairports to exotic destinations and they do in big part add hundreds of square miles to airport surroundings (Just to name a few: Taxi2Gate, DD, FlyTampa, FlightBeam, Latin VFR, ImagineSim)

1. Try a flight from Dubai to Hong Kong

2. Try a Flight from Paris to South West African Country

3. Try A flight from Pakistan to Milan

4. Try a Flight from Milan to Copenhagen

5. Try a flight from Cairo to Kenya

6. Try a flight from Bejing to Tehran

7.Try a flight from Montreal /Toronto to San Francisco

8. Try a flight from Mexico city to Quito

I Usually pick my destinations and Aircraft Type from Flight Aware

You will see amazing terrains, islands, mountains, Oceans, seas and rivers and even ships and boats

Spice it up with AI Traffic and Weather and you will have amazing fun

Bill

The part I'm anticipating most about FS2020 is that you won't have to spend an extra penny to enjoy these flights, and they'll look just as good or better than in P3D.

LOL are you word not allowed kidding me?

Feel bad for the “beleaguered” developers who may not be able to develop for a base sim that does everything better than they can?

Step it up, or fall behind.  Easy as that.  I’m sure as hell not spending another penny on P3D or XP11 till this is out.  Once it is, we can see what kind of aftermarket support it may or may not develop

We shall see but the amount of work Pete has put into this and the interface he provides is not easily replaced. The dumbed down default axis and calibration in P3D which is a holdover from MS days of past cannot compete. I seriously doubt the new MS version will offer anything close especially with them wanting this on a console in the future. Sure some hardware will work but the high end stuff from Jetmax, Flight Deck Solutions, Precision Flight Controls need the more advanced pay version of fsuipc. I for one will not set all that aside if it cannot work.

To be perfectly frank, have fun in the past. 

That's like the GA guys who still fly with VORs and NDBs, and don't have a GPS in the airplane.

I will say looking at that 748 that PMDG has their work cut out on modelling, because that stock one looks better than their offering.  They're going to need to upgrade it to come to FS2020.

Just to poke my head in for fun, but airplane’s crosswind limits aren’t a legal limit.   A 172 will land just fine (and safely!) in more than a 16 knot xwind or whatever the demonstrated limit is.  The same applies for anything else.

If you really want, you can go to the controls menu and select the FSX key bindings, then it’s very similar.

Ok thanks for claryfing this! I-m used to fly with the NGX and here the stb alt always report the same alt of the PFD. Amazing to see that PMDG has simulated this unprecision of the stby altimeters! 

The Maddog does it too.  It’s a nice little touch on these airplanes.
