Stuck on "Checking for updates..."
rocketlaunch replied to GEKtheReaper's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
Had this the other day but after 10 minutes everything eventually loaded, I have heard that launching in administrator mode can cause this. -
Active Sky after 2 weeks - to be or not to be?
rocketlaunch replied to G-YMML1's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
The default weather engine is already excellent but Active Sky does add something different, it is a case of beauty is in the eye of the beholder. -

We are so spoilt now! So many quality aircraft being released. -
Ultra-wide problem with MSFS…
rocketlaunch replied to RobJC's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
Looks amazing on my 49inch super wide screen (even better on quest 3). -
That's how you do a video!

The Fenix development team feel like a breath of fresh air while FSlabs seem to be tired and set in their old ways. Just compare their websites and methods of communication. MSFS has moved things on significantly and FSlabs are going to have to seriously up their game and marketing to compete. Their aircraft oblique eye wateringly expensive were arguably the best in P3D. However, no matter what some people may say, P3D has really very little to offer going forward and will only be left further behind with the advent of MSFS 2024. Even though I own the entire FSlabs aircraft collection, I retired them all when I uninstalled P3D back in 2020.

The Free and Optional Dune Expansion is Out

Once upon a time our hobby was dying, now look at it! Collaborations with major Hollywood movies! How times have changed. -
Fenix block 2 delayed [31 October 2023]
rocketlaunch replied to grandfred29's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
Totally worth the wait, I can't believe how much stuff they have packed in! Very exciting. -
Fenix block 2 delayed [31 October 2023]
rocketlaunch replied to grandfred29's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
They already produced an already excellent (with multiple updates) A320 which cost me under 50 quid. If they went bust tomorrow I would still feel happy with my purchase. FSlabs took a few ice ages to get their updates out of the door. Why the Fenix hate? Do we just hate on developers as a matter of course in this hobby now? -
PMDG Dev update 01/27/2024 More 777 Previews
rocketlaunch replied to Krakin's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
What’s not to like? Looking forward to more choice of high fidelity airliners in MSFS from PMDG. I already fly their 737 often and its fun. -
Been away for a couple years.. whats the latest and greatest
rocketlaunch replied to avi8tir's topic in The Prepar3d Forum
Although V6 is actually pretty good it is too little too late. Most developers have moved on and the lack of support for V6 is quite sobering. I don't think LM really care to be honest. I think the latest and greatest has already happened some time ago in regards to P3D, hope I'm wrong. -
What are some good and popular Virtual airlines?
