I seem to recall Jorg reciting the discovery, and planning stages leading up to MSFS 2020. if they were going to go thru with it, there had to be some form of long term commitment to this massive project or else it’s a no go. I believe the promise was for 10 years? question is, is it on a contract? Can it be broken because of head personnel changes at MIcrosoft? When did the 10 years start? With all that’s invested and it being a prime foundation of a Microsoft game, with Xbox as a centrepiece and recent PlayStation addition, I am pretty sure it’s not going away anytime soon or near-midterm future. Best to be cautiously optimistic rather than worried, that another significant feature has been reworked outside of just updating the sim for bug fixing and performance optimisations. I‘m hoping for big WX changes since XP made a move and it can be rather lacking at times. A proper WX radar that 3rd parties can integrate too. Guess we will all find out something at FS weekend what the roadmap looks like.

A lot of good videos out there from Classic Jet SimPilot, Moosestaffa, and Father Time to name a few. But basically take what you know about Boeing and Airbus logic (push pull) and mix it in a blender, and add a mint garnish for the dial a flap configuration. its a lot of fun. One hell of a beast of a machine with chest thumping climb rates even over FL280. Just don’t expect fuel efficiency.

Thanks very much. Never would have thought to try something that says MOUSE_INP. But the honeycomb bravo throttle does have a reverse axis, so this setup ends up being very dangerous to going into reverse thrust when you just want to go to idle at the detent. Might be better to just have a toggle reverse thrust button.

FSS EJets MSFS2024. I have tried all kinds of inputEvents from above, plus anything related to throttle, including LVARS that are apparently specific to FSS. (FSS_EXX_EVT_LEVER_THROTTLE_L) Sometimes there is a reaction of throttles, but the engines behave erratically going up and down or go half way. In AAO the inputs have full movement showing. Values have been changed like above, (0 to 1) and still nothing works. I havent found a template anywhere online to try. Perhaps something changed in this new experimental version.

Anyone have an update for this? I have been trying all kinds of throttle bindings, and nothing seems to work properly. Sometimes , throttle moves but half way, often throttle just goes into reverse and no forward movement. There are no other bindings for throttle, in AAOs or in the simulator controls. Set to nothing. I am using Honeycomb Bravo. Setting up throttles for other planes works. Just cant get it to work for the FSS Ejets

Super awesome! Can't wait to fly the Md-11 again this time in MSFS 2024. Great tribute video ending to UPS btw.

So so nice to have this back. Must have utility IMHO. Gamechanger to set up views so easily without messing with config files and the like. To break free from the ridiculous 10 view limit and have fly-by and tower runway views. thank you parallel 42!

All the grievances and hate aside, which I am not going to get involved in,..... The aircraft is solid. Install went without a hitch, with alot of liveries. The performance is really smooth, and first flight went without any hiccups. Nice to have somewhat of a working WX radar. Soundset also sounds a whole lot better than previous. Just have to play around more with windows spatial sound. $30 upgrade, not thrilling, but considering I got the $99 discount deal when we moved from P3D, really cant complain. They did alot of work and it shows. The team deserves commendation too. Cheers

No not 4K. Same here. 3440

Thanks . Food for thought if my 4080S sells for good money.

Respectfully disagree. Its most definitely VRAM. In dev mode with the in game FPS display, I have all solid green performance. No hiccups. Frame time is great, as is FPS. When Vram gets anywhere around 13gb out of my 16gb card, its a stutterfest every single time. Easily reproducible. Reduce addons and or settings to bring Vram back down, and its golden smooth. Seems like 2024 is for the rich who can afford the very expensive cards with gobs of Vram in comparison. Vram is very fast compared to DDR5 even, thus the extra expense. So when we have relatively powerful machines but only 'moderate' Vram (16Gb) , we can't use much addons, and we have to turn everything way down.

If MsAsobo can't fix this, then they can greatly subsidize all these incredibly expensive GPUs that cost thousands with over 20gb of Vram. I have a 4080 super with 16gb and its a fantastic performing card. This issue is all Vram. Performance without Vram maxing out, is solid with great fps, frametime, and smoothness. Get close to 13gb vram and it becomes a stutter fest. Not long ago, 16gb vram was overkill. Having answers like turning stuff off, and disabling addons, seems ridiculous. Other games that are demanding dont have this issue. In fact they dont even come close to 16gb usage. This should be a priority fix. So far I don't see much talk about it in SU3.

Starts fine for me, and flying it also seems mostly functional. But cant get my head around the Honeywell Primus Apex System. Its very weird, or rather I suspect that Carenado went very light onto its functionality. Also very different from a Garmin. Definitely need to use beta range for taxiing otherwise its a rocket on the taxiway. Dont use brakes. I'm sure in reality you would wear them out pretty quick with the idle power it has. Apex

Whats all the fuss about wipers? Don't you all know that MSFS aircraft all come with a special technology like "Rain-x" as a water repellent feature. Thats why I can still see without actually wiping the window, while still or low speeds. 😉😆The physical wiper is just there for show.

Think there should be a balanced view of IRL pilots that have more of an aim to educate simmers of all sorts, some to alot detail, where reading a bloody 3000 page FCOM would take ages, and seeing it explained visually for tips and tricks and so forth, can be very helpful. Sure there are some who dont know what constructive criticism means, and are out for the click bait show, but gotta give credit to the real ones out there who have been flying these aircraft for a long while and taking the time to show how to handle things properly in a professional manner.
