Thanks. I hope they can update sooner than that, I only have maybe another 20 years to live.

Any noticeable cosmetic differences in the 2024 rendition?

I explain it to myself that it's like the part in Hitchhiker 's Guide to the Galaxy where Arthur Dent hitchhikes onto an interstellar transport ship that has everyone on board but in suspended animation and still hasn't taken off, because they're awaiting delivery of lemon-scented napkins before the flight can depart. They wake everyone up every 100 years to announce their imminent departure as soon as the napkins arrive.

That's an update to FSLTL and the FBW installer potentially as well but is separate from any MSFS2024 update OP is talking about.

Aww shucks 🤙🙏 Truth be told, I got the thing to basically distract myself while waiting for the new highly anticipated helicopter by That Other Developer to come out, which I'm sure we're all looking forward to flying with Porpoise😉 Even so I'm pleasantly surprised with the quality on this one. I'll stop there since I don't want to imply any comparison between the two since it would be a bit unfair given their different classifications. Although it will be fun just to see how they stack up just in terms of conification. 😎

Not that I'm all too much into the rotor coning thing since it has zilch to do with what I'm interested in within the helo cockpit but I do enjoy that we've progressed to the point where proper visual representation of rotor coning is now something of a topic in the community. And maybe I'm just having too much fun finding out that "coning" is now a word that, for whatever reason, I find some undeniable degree of juvenile pleasure in using. But anyway... yes there does seem to be blade flex, droop and (here it comes again!) coning in this helo. In addition to a dang great flight model. Being a card-carrying AARP member, I can unfortunately relate to the flex and, um... droop. As far as the coning, perhaps it could be improved in a follow-on update (if even needed) or otherwise addressed through the application of certain herbal supplements or medicated lotions. Or so I've been told... 😉 Anyway here are the rotor blades at rest, at idle and with just enough collective pulled to get the machine light on the skids....

Even with P42's latest update today, the Config button still doesn't work for me when using the mouse. Keyboard shortcut is OK.

Thank you very much! This was enough to get to a workable solution, although I find I like a lot more head movement (old habit from "checking six" in combat flight sims): And strangely, I never knew that I needed an axe, or hatchet or any other kind of heavy sharp cutting implement, to use Tobii....

Anyone else seeing some weirdness with the GUI in the Free Flight menu, when trying to use the "Configure" option to select variant, livery etc.? Clicking on it has no effect at all for me, although if I press "F" I can get to the variant/livery selection options. Don't know what broke it.

+100 These "Either-Or" types of questions really seem to miss the point of what flight simulation is all about. I'm the polar opposite of sd_flyer in that I have a whopping total of 6.5 hours of actual logged flight instruction for my entire life but have been simming since the early 1980's. In my virtual fantasy sim world, Stoopy is an In-Demand Highly Experienced Jack-Of-All Trades pilot of all things flyable, jetting around to faraway destinations in bizjets and airliners one day, then exploring each destination in depth the next via helicopters, bush planes, piston twins, military, ultralights, aerobatic birds etc. until the local wine and women have grown tired of his devilish good looks and handlebar mustache and it's time to move on... 😁

Very much appreciate the attention to detail and rapid efforts of the team on this one! 🤙

Thank you so much for this! You've created an absolute GEM for the community. Had a quick flight around and despite the real weather being a typical spring morning - adding to the realism for sure - it looks absolutely phenomenal, and a great place to stopover on flights up and down the coast. Lots of cool little details. It's gonna be a lot of fun stuffing the little PMDG 737-600 onto RWY32 there.... Definitely appreciate the accommodations as well!
