Since my post mid-life crisis and some WinCTRL hardware purchases I've been flying the NGs 99% of the time. I'm hooked! I'll be in trouble if they release something like an overhead panel!

I may finally cave and get 2024 ... I think this will be my 4th time buying the -700 and -800. Canadian North has 9 -700s as well.

Looks great! Please share the download link with us when it's ready to go.

Looks good Bill! Thanks for sharing this. All sorts of gems on flightsim.to. Addon developers keeping the sim going!

Good ol' Bearskin airlines. I flew on one of their flights out of Ottawa to Toronto/Buttonville back in the day on a PC-12. Such a great airline. Very friendly crew and top notch customer service. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

those were the days 🙂

+1 for the legacy! looks incredible … realair flashbacks

Don't forget Canadian North and their -700s. I believe a few are former WestJet. I heard that WestJet will be retiring a -700 for each new MAX they receive. It'll be sad to see the -700 go.

I have the Boeing 737 based hardware. I just use sim app pro. It works very well and has been a game changer! I’ve ordered all of my hardware through the winctrl (formerly winwing) Canadian store with quick delivery.

I'm excited to try the GTN750 with a touch screen!

I have been looking for a solution like this for a while... I hope to try it out this weekend but I'm still on 2020. Hopefully a 2024 user can chime in. Good luck!

This video was posted just recently discussing it. Hopefully it helps you! https://youtu.be/nNnuVEeZarg?si=vByIoPOsGVH1u5p0

His 777 tutorials are also excellent. While he flies the 787 he is also type rated in the 777 (shared rating).

I'm a big Boeing fan... I like the FMC system much more then the Airbus system so my vote is PMDG 737, 777 and iFly MAX. Most of my real world hours is in the DA20 Katana which uses a control stick. I had a yoke many years ago but it got in my wife and kids way when they wanted to use the computer so I purchased a Logitech 3d extreme stick. I still use it to this day even though they now have their own computers. I lucked out and acquired a second control stick so my kids and I can share the odd flight together when the planets align. I appreciate having the desk space and the flexibility to move the stick out of of the way. Besides, it brings back fond memories from my real flying days. Having the Winwing hardware peripherals is a huge game changer! Long story short - Boeing and control stick here. Most importantly... have fun with the hobby! There are so many incredible addons out now compared to the early sim days. It's incredible how far it has come along.

PMDG 737 cargo has my vote!

This feature would be fantastic... thanks for sharing the info! ARCAL/PCL has been on my wish list as well. Good luck Guinea Pig Ryan 🙂 Please keep us posted! Dan

Airliners: 1. iFly MAX (by far!) 2. Fenix A320 3. PMDG Boeings Can't wait for the return of the Majestic Q400 in MSFS! The A350 looks like quite a beast as well. General Aviation: 1. BlackSquare Dukes 2. FlightFX Vision Jet 3. SWS PC-12 I missed out on the A2A sale but the Comanche looks amazing. Dan

Canada Post should (hopefully) drop my PAP3 off today. I blame you Dave 🙂

That's one of my favourite features in the PMS50 GTN750. Good idea!

It is very generous of people to share their mobiflight profiles on flightsim.to. I've been using the FCU with Boeings and GA as well. Most work well.

I had a switch and MCP on pre-order but it looks like the stock in Canada may have evaporated!

Hi Dave! Are you enjoying your PAP3? I'm thinking of adding it to my setup. I really enjoy their FCU. While the FCU can handle most functions with the mobiflight profiles having the PAP3 would be icing on the cake. The FMC/MCDUs are tempting as well... I must resist! Dan

hopefully locally installed addon airports will come to the rescue!

I don't know of any beta testers for the sim. Perhaps with all of the problems any new owners of the sim are now considered beta testers until a fix is released? I was just giving an example of common issues affecting multiple airports (ie grass on the runways, texture issues etc..). Surely testers would have seen it and hopefully reported the problems? Of course, it's a very different matter if Asobo did not acknowledge the issues.

MSFS 2024's release is definitely not going well. I often wonder how all of these problems escape beta testers? I understand the huge demand on servers not able to be tested but what about other bugs?
