So, here we are nearly one year later in February of 2026 since I started this thread. Over the past year I check in and read posts, look at the many fabulous videos, especially about the newest add-ons. I guess you might say that I'm a "vicarious" flightsimmer at this point as I have no plans to ever actually return to MSFS flightsimming on a PC. And no, I will not be utilizing my PS5 for flightsimming. To me, that is not flightsimming, at least not for my money. Once again, thanks to any and all responders to this thread. I love all the posts and wish all of you here at AVSIM the best flightsimming you can ever have. Bye for now! United001

I stopped flight simming with MSFS over 10 years ago due to a constant stream of problems with CTDs and various other problems that I simply no longer had time to try and fix. Do I miss flying with MSFS? You bet I do. I am envious of add-ons such as Beyond ATC which I did purchase and use when it first emerged. To see and listen to the videos of what BATC does now is just incredibly awesome and just makes me miss the whole experience even more. I had used every version of MSFS since its inception decades ago including to the wonderful heady years that Tom Allensworth started AVSIM and was still with us. I met Tom in Denver the year that some of us met together to use the United Airlines flight sims. I feel so thankful to have shaken the man's hand and thank him personally for having started AVSIM. And that was what over 20 years ago? I have lost track of time. I continue to lurk every couple of months and read posts and they all make me smile, but I am the nostalgic sort after all. Anyway, I wish AVSIM and the entire MSFS flight simming world nothing but the best. I will continue to lurk and read and enjoy what you all post. Take care everyone! United001
