Never flown a Tolis plane and after having heard many good things about it I have to say this certainly hasn't left me with any enthusiasm to pick this one up, one too many rough edges, I'll keep watching some more videos from others nevertheless. When it comes to a330driver I for one appreciate his videos, I think it's pretty word not allowed disresepctful to call him a clown and a muppet, not to mention ungrateful given that people like him create tutorials for flight simmers which I certainly have found to be very useful, this stuff takes a lot of time and effort. But sure let's treat people who contribute to the flight sim community in this manner shall we, that certainly will help grow it. 🤨 As to him deleting comments, can't possibly see that being the case either. I've seen my comments being deleted on various YouTube videos many times and I know for a fact that the content creator did not delete them and I can assure you there was nothing contentious in them at all. YouTube definitely deletes comments for what appear to be arbitrary reasons and the statement that "I haven't seen other creators have this issue", well unless it's your comment how would you?

I just upvoted your post and yes really when I clicked upvote, I got a full screen ad first!! Talk about adding insult to injury. 😖

Absolutely nothing has changed and still no further feedback from the admins either which is very disappointing, I can only conclude that they don't care. More ads than content showing all the time and these constant full page ads are driving me nuts. I guess I'll be visiting avsim when I have a specific question I need answers to, no longer as a frequent casual browse to find out what's going on in the world of flightsim. The official MS forums, hell even FB groups are less obnoxious than the billboard this site has turned into. 💩

I use FF and still seeing ads everywhere, I see ad hear more ads than contents! Ad blockers have their own quirks, end of the day ads should be easy to ignore if done in a balanced manner, something has definitely changed as atm they are impossible to ignore!! 😡

Yeah I was about to put up a post about this and noticed this thread, the number of ads are utterly out of control, right hand side, bottom page, between posts and a full page ad every time you click on a post that you than have to click close on, hell as I'm posting this there is am massive add right above this which is playing audio and everything. It's getting so annoying I don't even feel like visiting avsim anymore. I appreciate that these things generate income but the balance way off now!

The order page also had enhanced features and additional systems, I don't see this being mentioned in the reviews I watched so far so not sure if that's actually what's being used assuming that's even implemented today or is that a future thing?

Historical weather then works for "any" custom weather preset I use, overcast, thunderstorms etc because "actual historical" weather is not something I tend to use though.

I posted this question in the //42 typical weather thread but I guess it got kinda lost there so I might just start its own topic on this as I never really quite understood what happens in these scenarios. I usually just put it to live weather and accept whatever it is but one reason I also don't tend to change the weather is when I fly with ATC, I use batc I'm not sure what would happen if I choose custom weather, whether it's an add-on or within the sim options itself. If this custom weather changes the wind directions/speed etc and subsequently also changes the active runways does an add-on like batc know that I am on custom weather or is that always going to base itself on real life weather Thanks

I guess it's in their OC3, purchased from another pc so haven't checked yet.

I have a broader question about these weather apps/presets in general and how the interact with ATC, not just the built in one but also the likes of batc, does atc base its directions on the weather set in the sim even if it's custom or does that always direct based on live weather ignoring any custom weather add-on or otherwise?

Got all 3 of them in the mean time, enjoying them all but as per usual I probably should have just picked one to start with but I'm sure they'll get all their well deserved air time as I tend to impose a limit on myself of flying GA aircraft in certain parts of the world only as that way you also get the enjoyment of seeing other areas. I'm pretty happy with my purchase, they are all a joy to fly and are not frustratingly difficult, hopefully the 500 will become available outside of the MP at some stage. Not familiar with the fly inside birds, I might just check them out once I feel the need for something new which might be a while coz I'm suffering from a serious case of AAS (Aircraft Acquisition Syndrome).

I'm going to go out on a limb here and state that that rationale is going to cost him dearly as that's a pretty niche target audience, let alone a helicopter in career mode. Going off topic here, I tried career mode once and I thought hmm this might be ok to then find out that you won't be able to use non MP add-on planes, never touched it again and can't see me ever doing so either. As I understand Asobo is enforcing that limit to avoid cheating because I assume there are online leaderboards maybe, they could just opt to limit the career mode to single player only that being the case so the only person you'd be cheating would be yourself. Building a career with the default or MP only planes is way too limiting imo. Anyway I digress.

Looks like the 500C is a marketplace only product, odd and not sure if it's leaving itself without a potential audience because of that, I certainly didn't even know it existed coz I certainly don't check back on MP releases, let alone go there to buy something, I might notice it when booting up the sim and that's it. Also the fact that I can only find one single livery on flightsim.to would also confirm that it's probably flying totally under the radar, make no sense to me but hey what do I know about developing and selling these things. In any case certainly no negative feedback on these Taog birds, the Huey seems a no brainer and between the alouette and lama I may as well flip a coin, both look good. Cheers all

Been contemplating picking up a more in depth but still somewhat retro helicopter for 2024 as it has great scenery to fly low and slow, the Taog ones seem to review and given they're on sale on on flightsim.to atm I might just add one or two to my hangar. It states compatible with 2024 but I'd be keen to hear people's thoughts on these, do you fly them in 2024, any caveats, shortcomings, preferences? Thanks

Hmm, that's another concern, self loading cargo had the same issue and I couldn't read a friggin thing on my 4K monitor and no option increase font size so I simply stopped using it so yes it's a very valid complaint. Seems like this career app could have used some more time in the oven, not writing it off as it's admittedly fresh to the market and no doubt improvements can be made. But for now I'll be keeping an eye on it to see how it progresses going forward in fixing some of its shortcomings first.
