I've read a variety of reviews on the 757 so far and the 'exterior textures could be better' is a common theme. One reviewer showed some close ups of the wings & hull with some jagged lines where they should be smooth. I am curious whether the liveries coming through on .to 'paper over/fix' those jagged lines or whether they still show up in 3rd party add on liveries? T45

My preference is to look more closely at this when the intial patches are through & an MSFS2024 native version has been released. Has there been any indication anywhere on when the 24 native version might appear? T45

Does it match the pre release publicity? T45

I get screen flashing, but also had it in SU6 T45

Just flew the standard wheel pasenger version in Eastern Canada out of Gander & executed a very clean ILS 3-point "autoland" on Rwy 27 at CYJT. Achievable in calm conditions when you are delicate with the flaps & throttle. Also trying to learn the EDM. With the number of variants I feel it is worth what is being charged. Very versatile package. T45

Several flights yesterday, in Alaska. Enjoying it so far. Engine sounds are pretty rugged/raucous, how do they rate vs real life? T45

disregard?😀 Something happen in the 2nd flight? T45

In that limbo land for a new release - is it good enough straight out of the box, or are there sufficient things that need fixing such that it's worth waiting for the 1st update? T45

Will the A380 follow a VNAV profile without issues? T45

There is now an update. T45

Combing the hanger for some vintage biplanes to fly & found a Flight Replicas DH60 Gipsy Moth. Set off in the UK in inclement conditions. Flys nicely, at the appropriate speed. T45 https://i.postimg.cc/C5Y0zGmM/gm-1.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/WbNjV7d9/gm-2.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/NjVw1qpC/gm-3.jpg

I don't have IFD Instruments & don't have any issues with the 707, which is an interesting aircraft to fly once you sort out the AP😊

A few shots from a flight near the Eastern Canadian seaboard in murky conditions. T45

Big Radials MSFS 2020 Noorduyn Norseman copied over to MSFS 2024, & flying very nicely. Quite a quirky aircraft, with the AP tucked into a foldaway TV. T45

Indeed. & its Contrail's, not Conrail's😃 T45

FSS B727-200F & a Conrail's FA50 out & about. T45

Further to the DC-3 livery comment , the AA is from a Perfect Flight set of 15 'retro', [ie, can use GPS/SP], liveries available on the Market place. T45

Thanks John F - I think it came from a purchased DC-3 liveries set [on sale😀], possibly Market place, but attraction was also that they are for the GPS/AP equipped version of the DC-3, liveries for which are hard to find. "Perfect" , or something like that, as the name of the livery set ,sticks in my mind. I'll check it later. T45

I have just flown a short flight out of Barcelona in the 727-200F, [not Super27], & FPS was around 70 & all the drop down stuff was green, so I will have another look at the Super27. But where I am struggling is with the Autopilot & in particular, getting the aircraft to follow the the LNAV Flight Plan magenta line. I used the GNSXLS & entered a flight plan, then from instructions I found on line I set the CDI to GPS, intercepted the magenta line using HDG, then set NAV/LOC on the NAV selector dial below the throttle quadrant. However, she just over flew the line & kept following HDG, [which I had turned of as the magenta line was breached]. So, am I missing a step somewhere? T45

Thanks Jack. Got caught up in the recent set of releases & added the FA50, B727-200F & Bandearante. I like the older aircraft/analog instruments. What is a challenge is sorting out the GPS/AP set ups in them, & remembering which one I am flying😀

What I can do & haven't done yet is fly the B727-200F, [non Super], version in MSFS2024 & see how that goes. The Super 27 flies ok, I just happened to check the FPS in Developer Mode & there was a lot of red, FPS about 50, whereas the PMDG 737-800 runs around 80 FPS , all green. I will also look at a reinstall. T45

This is interesting. I have been flying the FSS B727-200RE [Freight Super27 version] in MSFS 2024, do not have MSFS2020 loaded, & the FPS is having the s-- kicked out of it compared say to a PMDG 737-800. So it does go some way to explaining the struggling FPS. T45

Just undertook a short flight in Canada in indifferent weather. AP & the VS/ALT set system take a bit of figuring out, but the flight was smooth & the ILS approach & landing spot on. Great addition to the GA fleet. T45

A mixed bag of recent purchases & flights, & two old favorites. Unedited apart from cropping. T45

A side effect of the recent X-Box system hiccups has been that I have lost many of my custom bindings on my PC, for the Keyboard, Joy Stick & Throttle quadrant. In trying to re-establish them I have found my knowledge of 'how to' is deficient, so if anyone knows of an online written guide, or videos, on how to set up bindings & profiles, I would appreciate learning of it. Thank you T45
