Actually, I would disagree with that statement. My 'nemesis' was a DR VFR Navex set by my Instructor at the flight training center I was attending. This was in the days before GPS and any internet based satellite imagery. The NavEx was to fly to 'Gluepot' using DR. Gluepot was a couple of tin shacks in the middle of a very large featureless bushland, covered with trees no higher that the shacks, and almost non existent tracks meandering through the thick bushland. I first tried this in XP11, with poor results due to the lack of geo-spacial resources available at the time. MSFS2020 (after WU's) made this possible for the first time, and the experience has been improved in MSFS2024. For the first time, using MSFS, I was able to fly this challenging NavEx with the landscape and features exactly as was experienced in real life, adding to the complexity of the exercise. It was the blending of all what little landmarks there were in real life and in the sim that made it so realistic. To this day, recreating this NavEx (with my instructors very strict requirements on accuracy of time keeping, navigation and fuel tracking) brings back memories of anxiety to nail it to hist satisfaction.

I use a program called FreeTube to watch Youtube videos without any interruption by adverts. Occasionally Youtube make back end changes, so, for a few days FreeTube doesnt work, but it only takes the authors a few days to tweak their code, and its up and running again. Sadly its only available on PCs, so smart TVs, streaming devices, tables, phones etc cant use this program.

I'm running an older 7800x3D CPU with a 4070TiSuper at 4K in 2024 SU2, locked to 30fps native, FG at 60 fps (using AutoFPS) and I'm getting smooth performance (no cabin version).

2020 Simmers Fight Back

To reiterate for you Was there a free upgrade from XP10 to XP11, or XP11 or XP12? What about P3Dv3 to P3Dv4, or P3Dv5 - did LM offer free upgrades to those versions? LR have stated that they will continue to support and enhance XP. Did YOU ever expect LR NOT to release new major versions during XP's lifetime and NOT charge for a new version? If not, then why should you cast shade over a competing company's statement. Sometimes it feels like some throw away common sense and logic on this site just to push/further an illogical point of argument. -

Wrong forum! Please take your XP related evangelism to the correct AVsim forum. -

Really? And did you get a free upgrade from XP10 to XP11, or XP11 or XP12? What about P3Dv3 to P3Dv4, or P3Dv5 - did you get free upgrades to those? -

No 2020 / 2024 separate forums...
c912039 replied to cchiozza's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020/2024)
I was trying to think of a rational/logical reason why a separate forum was NOT seriously considered, and thought that perhaps there was a financial reason behind it. And then this was posted in reply: On 11/23/2024 at 11:53 AM, c912039 said: I will pledge to make a donation to AVSIM - IF separate 2020/2024 forum is reconsidered and implemented. charliearon Posted yesterday at 12:19 PM: It will take more that one member doing that! 💰 Then I asked if it can be confirmed that there was a financial cost involved. So far, no response back what so ever. There are enough differences between 2020 & 2024 right now, and that gap is only going to increase over the next 4 years, whilst both products run in parallel. The longer the 2 products are crammed into one forum, the more difficult it will become to try to split apart some time in the future when its obvious the gap between the 2 products is huge. If creating another forum is such a HUGE HASSLE/COST, then why has VR, a subsection of MSFS202 been split out, and not forced to use TAGS instead to indicate the topic is about the VR option in 2020? Or is it that there was enough interest in VR within the board that triggered a separate forum, but no such interest from the same board in 2024? -

And yet, still no answer as to whether adding extra forums is an additional cost to AVSim or not. Once again, a quick glance shows that tags are not being used consistently (despite observing that someone went and retrospectively applied tags to existing posts shortly after I posted my earlier message about tags not being used). How long are staff going to retrospectively add missing tags to keep up the appearance that the Discord style 'mess' of mixed posts is all that loyal Avsim readers deserve?
