The TriStar got big promo from Microsoft both on the PR front and Marketplace. That usually involves a period of Marketplace exclusivity. Given my experiences with other recent iniBuilds releases, I might just wait for it to hit the iniManager so that a few patches/updates will have already happened.

@PuffinFlight, I'm thinking We Love VFR still has value under FS2024 due to some additional details it offers that still aren't in the stock sim. Curious as to whether it's likely to work okay under 2024 or if it might cause issues.

Aargh, I don't know why people use the 7-day Discord invite links. Here's a permalink for the AIG Discord, in case anyone else runs across this topic in the future searching the problem like I did. (And yep, still seeing no gear on AI planes in FS2024. word not allowed, I wish someone on the MSFS team actually used FS2024 like their customers do. Sigh.) https://discord.gg/HZstZwkbha

I was surprised to see KSEA from FeelThere available for purchase from Flightsim.to when I was checking out new files. I hadn't heard this was coming. I've just been using the stock KSEA with the ianthehippo enhancement (fixes the Alaska hangar and some other details), which is a pretty decent representation. I've seen all the negative feedback about BMW/AMSim's version, so I hadn't considered that one. Anyway, I'll be curious to hear folks' impressions if anyone picks this up. I live in the area and fly out of KSEA, so definitely interested in a detailed version if it doesn't kill frame rates, has decent AI parking, etc.

Thanks much for the advice, folks! I'll go forward with FSX:SE and P3D 3.2.

I've been out of the civilian sim world since mid-2015, due to a confluence of factors. I recently rebuilt my gaming PC for an upcoming Oculus Rift delivery, and I'm anxious to get FSX and P3D up and running again. I have a ton of legacy commercial and free planes, scenery, utilities, etc. and I own both the original MS FSX Deluxe edition and FSX Steam Edition, plus P3D. So here are the questions: Should I install the MS FSX version, or the Steam version? When I last left things, there were occasional quirks with the Steam Edition and some add-ons, but at the same time, the developers were actively improving the sim. My gut is to go FSX-SE, but is now a stable platform as a base for a DX10 FSX setup? Any concerns or precautions before installing P3D and FSX (either version) on the same PC? Thanks in advance for any tips! ...Denny
