I’ve also got perfectsoft. It’s no flytampa but it’ll do the job.

It should show up at as a 2020 scenery. There are plenty I bought in the 2020 days that work fine in 2024 but don’t show up in the 2024 MP.

I've had no end of trouble with the brakes in the Boeing birds of late with 2024. Specifically the parking brake which I apply and then I am unable to release. I've tried everything - all kinds of combos of assigning within MS2024, FSUIPC, with and without pedals to no avail. The only thing that seems to work is assigning a key to 'RELEASE PARKING BRAKE' within the sim, not something I've ever had to do before. This is only in the PMDG birds and the CSS 737, no issue in Airbus or the iFly 73M.

I get this too. I suspect it’s CP as I removed RealTurb. I did wonder if it was FSRealistic but I’ve got pretty much all the motion turned off.

You can import the flight plan but that’s all, you’ll have to open your Simbrief pdf somewhere to enter speeds, weights, etc V speeds can and sometimes are sent by ACARS (and the FSL A321 supports this) but it’s airline dependent and a lot easier just to plug it all in the EFB and grab it from there It’s v2 in the speed window, iirc the +15 kts SOP was ditched moons ago. Always runway heading in the heading window and then drag the heading bug to match the SID or wherever you want to go.

Apologies for resurrecting an old thread but does AL work with official marketplace folders in 2024? I can’t for the life of me get it to work.

Have to say, even the buying and installation process in this thing is tortuous. It’s like they don’t want to sell it to you! I tried to buy it from them and fell into the whole 30 minutes naughty step so gave up and bought it from Simmarket instead. Then the launcher app decided that my work email wasn’t a real email address and upon trying my regular old hotmail account, it tells me mail update has failed and to contact support. Not impressed so far, one bit. No wonder it hasn’t sold well.

It’s a superb add on for sure. I bought it direct and now regret that decision as MP purchases are way easier to keep track of.

Ironically flying GA planes is way more challenging than learning to fly an Airbus. Especially once you get to twins with relatively complex avionics. If you want to keep it simple I’d advise getting the Fenix A320 and then watching a ton of tutorials on the basic setup and flows and basically use maximum automation. As long as you don’t get too ambitious, a basic A to B flight in the A320 is child’s play.

I believe a lot of airlines prohibit visual approaches at night - I know Lufthansa and Volotea certainly do.

The walkaround mode is actually pretty cool with something like the Fenix where you can wander around the aircraft and interact with it, walk up the stairs, open the door, walk inside etc. I agree though with most aircraft it's probably more convenient to start in the flight deck. There is a tool on flightsim.to to hide the 'enter aircraft' message which is nice for immersion.

I started to get into 2024 around the time of the A340 release and somehow managed to accidentally uninstall 2020 not long after that. Didn’t bother to reinstall it since then and now I’m very happy with 2024, although I find the cloud pixelation a bit annoying.

I have both BATC and SI but leaned into SI heavily over the last few months and although I agree that some of the features are a little gimmicky, the sheer amount of flexibility offered by the latter make it the go to. As others have stated here, my only gripe is the rate at which correctly accented voices are being rolled out - BATC in premium mode at least offers a stunning choice of voices that match up with the location and airline. SI seems to have gone backwards perhaps in this regard, although the rest of the functionality has improved.

Yeh there’s absolutely no reason not to use frame gen. It’s a total game changer for simmers and the difference is night and day. I have pretty beefy rig (4080 Super/7800x3d) but I can’t get to native 60fps with heavy add ons. With frame gen I can fly all day long in all situations at a steady 60, which is more than enough.

I did a flight with BATC last night for the first time in many months and it worked very well. The premium voices are very impressive. Having ditched it for SI a while ago I might pivot back to try it more.
