This has been around on the backburner for a couple of years. He pushes it in 'fits and starts' with lots of videos, then deletes them and disappears for months. He made crazy claims on an early video, then posted a demo, that could best be described as AI slop. No different to the "ATC programs" you find for free on FS.TO that an over-enthused user has created in 4 minutes using Gemini. He deleted a lot of early vids. It looks like he is trying to emulate SI's journey, but is just one guy and is about 24 years behind in man hours 😄

Slow news day?

I'm going to revise my choices:- Black Square Commander 114 Black Square Aero Commander series (TP & Piston) A2A Legacy

8 inches wider than a Bonanza!

Are those military jet pics interspliced into that update a mistake on JF's part? I was struggling to see the link between him talking about the Aero Commanders and those pics of a military jet?! 😄

You can keep your Synaptic A220.... THIS is what I am desperately awaiting! 😎 I did my complex endorsement in the 112 and most of my IR rating in the 114, back in the PPL days. These wide, comfortable planes are in my blood!

👍 VNAV aside, did you not climb in FLC/IAS mode? Where the speed could be set higher to prevent an uncomfortable climb rate, but while still providing stall protection? You're right, 'never' is rarely the appropriate word in aviation. However, some of the posts here read as though VS and VNAV are the only options. I'm pretty sure every major airline SOP would have pilots using airspeed-based modes in the climb. I don't think I've ever seen a real-world airliner (or even large GA) on YouTube vids (or in real life) climbing out using VS. It is however something we (simmers) used to do in FS9/FSX, as there was no native FLC/IAS mode until MSFS 😄 I'm not challenging your statement, or experience, and 'never' was too extreme, but the vast, vast majority of airliner or large GA aircraft use airspeed-based FD/AP modes to climb. Exceptions would also include aircraft with older avionics that do not have a FLC/IAS mode (eg. old Sperry units but in GA also the King 140/150/225 and STEC units)/

You would never use VS for climb in any airliner. FLC / IAS mode is always used (or VNAV which essentially uses FLC) as it provides speed protection against stall. VS is used for descent.

I've always been happy with the hand-crafted / included rendition. I was surprised there was an Inibuilds addon alternative.

Easily done - the intentions aren't the clearest! 😄 I'm not sure if I responded correctly. Ie. does it mean addons you already have, that you'd keep until 2028, or addons you don't have, that you'd buy until 2028. The reference to '2028' is hard to place, and perhaps a little tenuous!

Lovely job Nandengo!

I think this has happened once before and Alex had to reset something and it was fine again.

Exactly my experience too. After the SU that introduced downloading, I excitedly downloaded over 600Gb of content. To find it made no difference whatsoever. I think I had hoped that we'd have access to cfg files, for content we download. I soon found that not to be the case, and that MSFS204 is 'encryption central'. So I deleted it all, got 600Gb back and again, going back to streaming made no difference at all.

The same applies if you've downloaded your content. Once you've updated you've no way of reverting to an older version.

Nonsense. I've been streaming everything from day 1 and never had any quality or performance issues. My broadband is average fare for the UK. Why would I take your advice and fill a 1TB drive for absolutely no benefit? Your assessment and 'numbers' are just theory, not lodged in real experience. There are users here who report that they have 50Mb internet connections, and do just fine with it. Do you actually have issues when streaming 2024 content, or is this all just based on theories of broadband load divisibility in the home, constraining MSFS2024?

There are currently no addons that are available that I want, that I don't already have. Sounds like a nice problem, but when you're addicted to buying addons, it's misery when there's nothing to buy! 😄 So my 3 will be future releases (hopefully not too long) :- 1) Black Square Commander 114 2) A2A Legacy (but the release of the analog FSW Legacy would suffice!) 3) Got-Friends Taylorcraft

Yes 👍 Here it is :- Sometimes the pace of his videos are a little slow, but I love the laid-back, relaxed style and the 'non-ego'. https://youtu.be/gPsDOwX2BW0?si=MY7bSv88_y37UtTH

Did you see the video by "GA Flying" on YouTube? He did that exact flight 😎

Make sure you're searching all control sections. If I recall correctly, the Heading bug inc and dec commands are in the instruments section, rather than the autopilot section. They're definitely there though.

For HEADING MODE selection:- AUTOPILOT HEADING SELECT TOGGLE For HEADING BUG manipulation:- HEADING BUG REF INC HEADING BUG REF DEC

Yes, I even took a screenshot of the location and posted it for him. Yet here we are, with the same question asked again. It's good to help people but if they ignore that help, what is the point? Nevertheless, I'll try again:-

What are the sounds like?

It's out on the Marketplace. Not one for me as Carenado planes no longer appeal but it looks nice for those who are up for it!

It does. The 1st and 2nd options on the list. The 2nd option gives you the location of the Community folder. It's entitled: "How to install mods in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020". Not watched any 'getting started' videos yet? It's going to take hundred of posts if you ask every question on here and wait for responses. Almost everyone here will have gotten started with MSFS by watching tutorials on YouTube.
