@bofhlusr I made 5 tutorial videos and 2 IFR videos with the Carenado PC-12 and found that it adheres closely to the real world POH. All avionic functions performed as they should.

@btacon The Importance Of Branding In Business by Kristopher Jones Former Forbes Councils Member A business’s branding is more important than you might think. On the outside, your brand may seem like it consists only of elements such as logos and colors, but your brand is actually the entire identity of your business. Your brand gives you personality. Branding has always been a vital part of business, but it may be more important now than ever before. With social media, consumers get exposed to new brands every day. This can be great for consumers who have plenty of options and are able to do research to find the best one, but it makes it harder for businesses. There’s a huge amount of competition today, so businesses need to go the extra mile of ensuring they stand out in a crowd. To do this, you should invest in creating a strong brand that will get and keep people’s attention. With the right branding, you have the chance to get some control over how people perceive your business, so you don’t want to overlook this. More People Will Recognize Your Business One of the most obvious reasons that businesses need branding is to help them get recognized more often. If you have strong branding for your business, people will naturally take note of it much more than they would a business without it. A business that doesn’t really have any cohesive branding isn’t going to stay in someone’s mind for very long. However, a business with elements such as a distinct logo, attractive colors and other visual elements will be much more memorable. Someone might see your brand for only a moment, but if it sticks out in a positive way, there’s a good chance they won’t forget it, even if this person isn’t ready to use your products or services just yet. Eventually, when they’re ready to take the next steps, if your branding has stuck with them, they’ll come back to you. Branding Can Help Build Trust Trust from your audience is one of the most important things you can have as a business, but this isn’t always easy to gain. A business that’s missing key elements of branding will have an even harder time getting people to trust them. Branding is something many of us expect to see when we look at businesses in any industry, and missing this could be a red flag to some. Without branding, you have very little to show for your business. If you had to choose between a business with clear, professional-looking branding and a business that hasn’t made this effort, you probably know which one you’d trust more. Branding helps you show potential customers that you’re an established, credible business. You can use this to tell people very early on what they can expect from your business. This is an investment your business is making to improve itself, and potential customers will recognize that you put in the work to create your brand. You Can Improve Your Advertising Your business won’t be able to get very far without advertising. Branding and advertising go hand in hand. If you want to have better advertising for your business, you’re going to need to work on creating a brand first. When you’re advertising your business, you want everything to be cohesive and represent your business’s identity and values. This can be a challenge when you haven’t taken the time to form your brand. If you’re advertising without solid branding, you’re missing out on a lot of great opportunities to create an effective campaign. Incorporating branding into your advertising will help increase recognition of your brand when it’s all tied together. It’s Great for Your Employees Branding provides value inside of your company as well. Of course, you want your employees to love working for your company and feel like they’re a part of a team. A company with great branding will have an easier time getting employees to feel like they’re involved with something more than just a job. In addition to branding that can help draw in new customers, you also want to invest in the aspects of branding that keep your team motivated. This includes little things like branded apparel and merchandise, but also the look of your entire office space. If you can motivate your employees by creating a sense of unity through branding, you could end up seeing great results all around. Branding Creates Loyal Customers You don’t just want customers who recognize your brand and use your business once — you want to create customers who continue to come back. With good branding, you can give your brand a more human side, which your customers can relate to more than a company that’s strictly all business. In many ways, you can appeal to people’s emotions through branding and make them feel more connected to your company. Branding allows you to build relationships with your audience, which can eventually turn them into loyal customers. You can create a brand that people actually care about and put yourself ahead of businesses that aren’t using this to their advantage.

Well, this is quite the thread. Users (not who I have quoted here) still infiltrate with words that try to downplay yet another success on the Flight Simulator platform. Zealous emotion continues to reign supreme on AVSIM! However, reading the above quote did catch my attention, as I have raised this point often here and on other forums. We may never see the Falcon 8X in XP due to a decline in sales for Aerobask. For reasons undisclosed Thranda and Aerobask have not joined the ranks of developing for MSFS despite the resounding success stories on the platform. Several months ago, the 8X developer indicated a desire to try the pre-release method to generate revenue to continue the Falcon. Dassault, I can only assume said no to this proposal as the Falcon 8X release on the XP platform remains very uncertain. Anyways, congrats to PMDG for what appears to be a new sales record!

Obviously late to this thread here. I have had this "stuck on updates" a few times since the initial launch. I just "force quit" the sim and re-start the computer and all is fine. I somehow think it is a timing issue with the servers when launching the sim.

This puts the entire thread into perspective! It was all about XP and P3D before MSFS2020. And now a more advanced flight simulator pushing the envelope with enhanced graphics and careers in MSFS2024! The Bruce Artwick legacy continues as the creator of the first consumer flight simulator software.

Very well stated. Perhaps some are just having a bad day. I’m pretty sure flight training will be included for those new to flying to acquire basic knowledge and skills before jumping into a mission. Training has been an integral component as far back as my FS5.1 introduction to flight simulation! @lwt1971 Just backed up this post with the facts!

Yes, they nailed the Northern Lights to perfection. But as this thread grows, it appears that some are executing a missed approach after viewing the trailer. Most users appear to land though!

Perhaps someone can comment further or have insights regarding tall city buildings/skyscraper night lighting. I may not be getting my improved city night lighting in 2024 - No close ups shown. Images of Dubai and Rio de Janeiro tall buildings looked very dark in the distance. Suburb night lighting seems similar to 2020 and okay! Hope I’m wrong as there are still many months till release.
