I wonder if the amount of releases relates to the amount of money being spent by consumers. Obviously I can't speak for everyone, but I personally have spent an awful lot less since 2024 came out. I spent a small fortune on addons when 2020 released, and for the most part I use old 2020 addons that either work with 2024 or have been made compatible. I have purchased a couple of 2024 specific addons, but only if there was an upgrade price.

I seem to remember sometime ago some people were having issues with USB devices causing problems due to them entering a power saving mode after a while. Maybe worth checking and disabling?

No, kinda lost some interest unfortunately, also didn't want to spend a bunch more money on scenery addons for 2024. I do plan on starting again, maybe getting just a couple of updated addons.

I have both, mostly used 2020 while trying to get to grips with 2024's hardware control setups and bug's. Haven't used either since around September last year, fed up with the state of them either 'as is' or with the bugs introduced from updates. I'm trying to keep up to date with the progress of both, and will probably start flying again soon as development is improving with 2024, and 3rd party support for 2020 is dying off.

For some of us Flight Simulation is a hobby / pastime, for others it's a business. For those in the business camp it's up to them how they market and release their products based on the amount of work and effort put in to their products.

Personally I'd rather they (whoever the publisher is) just release their aircraft / updates to their paying customers first, rather than give to influencers to try and hype the product beforehand. At the end of the day, we know the product / update is coming and I am happy to wait for the final product to be released for me to use.

I guess there are people who spend a lot of the time outside the aircraft, but I spend 99% in the flight deck. I think I'll wait to see what PMDG eventually come up with.

There is not much footage of the sounds in the flight deck, they are mostly from outside or in the cabin.

This is one reason I've stopped buying addons.

FlyTampa were looking at EGLL a while back, but I'm not sure that will go ahead which will be a shame.

Just checking, have you removed the intake blanks? I only ask because I ddin't realise they were fitted and couldn't start the engine lol.

KPHX Phoenix Sky Harbor is in joint development by Jetstream and Flightbeam KPHX - Phoenix Sky Harbor for MSFS

Ah, okay, misread. Thought they were asking if it was a paid addon for 2020 🤣

No ,free for both versions. It's just the Piper aircraft that's different.
