Working fine here. A nice site, definitely worth signing up for.

All updates are welcome, but it's India I want most.

I was talking to Lewis from A2A in the pub last week. He couldn't reveal much more than what we already know, but I think I'm as excited about this Legacy as I was about their Cherokee, Comanche and Stratocruiser. Yes, it certainly will be a fantastic add-on !

I'll decide when it's available outside the Marketplace, but it's great to read all the positive comments here. That said, I have enormous respect and admiration for FBW, and if they are in the process of optimising their A380, I will probably stick with that. Nevertheless, well done, Inibuilds - this can only be good for the hobby.

Looking forward to the reviews and opinions here.

Thanks - I couldn't remember where I read about it, so you saved me the search. The screenshots are very interesting. I hope the textures are also improved.

A small update, maybe, but there is a larger revision in the pipeline.

That looks great; and a terrific video too. Very well done!

I think I'll wait till V.2 comes out. They said there would be a cargo version.

Sorry, but you've completely lost me. You check the addons you want in the preset, save the preset, make sure that it stays as the active preset, then start the sim. I really don't understand what the problem is.

Tick what you want to load, and save it as a preset.

A native MSFS2024 Chancellor ? I'll happily pay for that upgrade! It's been one of my favourite aircraft over the years. Vintage analogue twins may become something of a Flysimware specialty ? That sounds intriguing, to say the least. I'm not really up on vintage GA twins, but whatever comes along will be of the highest quality, no doubt. All the best with it.

There is a new rebuild of the A340-600 in the Aerosoft works, along with a ToLiss /Aerosoft A330 Pro: https://thresholdx.net/aerosoft-toliss-announce-a330neo-pro-progress-on-a340-600-a330ceo-for-msfs-2020-2024/

I'm enjoying it very much. From the air, the northern side of Singapore, a place I'm familiar with IRL, looks much more authentic. More than worth the modest price.

I like Burning Blue, I like what I see and I like the price.

I also used KEDW for testing and learning aircraft, as it's ideal for anything from GA to large airliners. However, the mod from nickb007 and JKustom introduces a terrain level change that crosses the runways, so it is back to the boring vanilla airport for now. I don't know what Redwing's Edwards is like - I see I can try it out for 24 hours so I might give it a stab. There is a MSFS2020 Boscombe Down which works well in MSFS2024 - it has terrain level changes, but the enormous runway is unaffected by them. https://flightsim.to/addon/60444/egdm-mod-boscombe-down

Add-On Addiction. I am a fellow sufferer.

Mike Johnson's Albatross has set the bar very high, so I wasn't expecting the C-46 to match it. However, are there specific identifiable problems with the C-46 ?

With A&AU 05 has come an update from Inibuilds and Working Title for the Microsoft C-46, originally developed by Aeroplane Heaven. It's a favourite aircraft in the real world, but the AH model was very disappointing in P3D, so I've also avoided it in MSFS. Now, with the upgrade released ( listed below ), I'm wondering whether to buy it. I'd appreciate some objective warts-and-all views on the model as it stands today. Tell me the bad as well as the good, please. Curtiss C-46 CommandoUpgraded to the modern MSFS 2024 aircraft framework. Converted to the latest modular package format. Revised the flight model to better represent the C-46’s size and mass. Improved stability, control response, and ground handling. Refined engine response and aircraft performance. Expanded the electrical-system simulation. Implemented more representative left and right electrical buses. Improved battery, avionics, and engine-bus behavior. Updated alternator, inverter, and external-power functionality. Reworked the fuel-system architecture. Improved tank selection, engine fuel routing and crossfeed behavior. Improved cockpit controls, switches, and instrumentation. Updated cockpit and exterior lighting. Refreshed interior and exterior artwork and materials. Improved animations and interactive elements. Updated engine and propeller sounds. Improved interior and exterior sound balancing. Refined engine audio transitions across different power settings. Improved cockpit controls, switches, and environmental sounds. Added compatibility with suitable cargo and transport Career Mode activities.

Do you know how to assign controls at all in MSFS, i.e. on the 'Setttings' screen ?

Sounds like you've got the throttle assigned to a -100% to +100% type of axis in settings. Look for 0% to 100%.

Agreed! Pound for pound, I think it's the best default aircraft we've seen in any Microsoft flight sim. As you say, the Albatross is already sold, so all this ongoing development is clearly a labour of love for Mike Johnson. For those who haven't had a look yet, here's a list of the latest fixes, tweaks and enhancements - and this is on top of five previous free updates: https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/grumman-albatross-hu-16-g111-thread/667391/1617

The huge update to the default HU-16 / G111 is superb!

I was picturing the scene where the latest SU had once again fouled up something with PMDG's DC-6. Patton, played by Robert Randazzo, storms into the hospital tent where Jorg Neumann is in bed with shell shock. 😉

I can think of several lines and scenes from that movie that would indicate the opposite! 😂
