  1. True, but this sky color adjustment is literally just changing a couple numbers - seems like it shouldn't distract too much from working on the tile swapping issue.
  2. Honestly, in keeping with their amazing ability to model a beaten up airplane, I'd love to see something utilitarian like a Piper Navajo or an later model piston Aero Commander. Something I can really beat to hell hauling cargo or passengers.
  3. My humble apartment setup - to be honest the best part is the nice small computer 😄
  4. Is this surprising? The vast, vast majority of CRJs IRL do not have VNAV. There's a lot to make fun of for Aerosoft but not having VNAV in the CRJ is realistic.
  5. Speaking of Heathrow today - just flew out IRL on the 6pm United flight to Newark, so I've got some pics for you to compare your sim flight to 😅
  6. I mean, there's hard data - 5,665 current MSFS players on Steam right now, which doesn't even include people who are using the Microsoft Store version or Xbox version. 6,900 on Vatsim in the last 24 hours as well. These numbers were unheard of just a few years ago.
  7. The default is a 787-10, the Kuro is just a mod to turn the 787-10 into a -8. They have the same avionics and systems modelling.
  8. When did we lose the ability to laugh at crazy people's antics without descending into armchair psychology and vague culture war references?
  9. I'll have to respectfully disagree with you there, I personally think it's far too late to switch to FS2002.
  10. Given Aerosoft's track record, I'm not sure I'd want "Project Manager - Aerosoft" on my resume if I wanted to actually receive a job offer!
  11. FSDT just released Houston a few weeks ago... Latin VFR released Miami.. probably over a year ago this point - Drzwiecki has released KMDW a long time ago as well. Seems odd to complain nothing is being released yet you seem completely unaware of what has actually been released?
  12. In what way is IFR functionality lacking in MSFS? I have flown the PMDG 737 in P3D and in MSFS and from what I can tell there is no difference in functionality. I hate that all these threads just turn in to MSFS vs. P3D but when people make these ridiculous inflammatory statements it only invites "Well actually my sim DOES have this!", and then the arguments start, and the cycle continues. All of these threads on The future of P3D, the release of P3Dv6, Dev statements on P3Dv6 all say the same thing: If you're happy with p3D, then V5.4 is the end of the road. You'll still get a new concorde soon, you'll still have all your current addons and scenery. V6 is not the future of P3D, and that becomes clearer every day.
  13. I'm watching the same stream - You must have better eyes than me if you think there's a vast difference.
  14. You don't speak for all P3D users - I was an FSX user, and then later a P3D user, a very dedicated P3Dv4 user, but now I am no longer. I was patient for 10 years waiting for a big improvement to come in flight simulation. I patiently watched X-Plane, but it never quite managed to reach its potential. I am happy to see PMDG working to build the future of our hobby, along with other devs like A2A, Fenix, FlyByWire, and others. It's obvious there has been a huge latent demand for a modern flight simulator, and LM had 10+ years to inspire it. But they didn't, and now life moves on. I appreciate that LM kept the hobby on life support long enough to make it to this point, and they and the devs who stuck through the time earned plenty of my money for it - I even bought V5 despite knowing I wasn't going to install it. But V6? It's the same old, same old, and at this point loyalty is just foolishness. If you like V5, (or even V4, for that matter) it's not going away - but I think we can all see with our own eyes that V6 doesn't deserve the effort of a clean install on my end, let alone updating an entire catalogue of addons on the devs side.
