Nasa are in a space race with the world's newest superpower. Despite their past glories I can't see them winning this one...

What is 'Smart App control'?

Will you stop it!☹️ I'm a bloody pensioner now. It's nearly forty squid, I've got planes coming out of my backside that I don't have time to fly and... ...must be strong...must have will power...sigh...🤦♂️

My crazy hunch is that whatever work they've done on their Max - if any - is unlikely to see the light of day in this present iteration of MSFS. Whilst we've been wallowing in a bucket load of Airbus, at long last the PMDG monopoly on high quality Boeings is being broken and iFly led that charge with their Max. They've cornered the PC market for that airframe. PMDG's big strength is in the investment they've made into console sales. It's an increasingly important part of their income...except a Max won't benefit them nearly as much there since the Asobo Max, despite it's reputation here, is actually an astonishing aircraft for a stock model abd is readily available to console users at an absolutely unbeatable price. So far, all the aircraft PMDG have made for MSFS have sold like hot cakes. The 747's that we are shortly about to receive are going to break all their sales records too. 'The Queen' is going to absorb all their effort for at least the next 18 months, not forgetting continued support for the 737 and 777 as the sim continues to evolve. In these circumstances sales of a PMDG Max are going to be similar to sales of yesterdays Wendy Burger.

No. Re-read my reply to your request and have another try. I asked you several questions that need to be answered in detail. I'm not trying to be awkward and I can't promise any definitive answers to your problems but there will almost certainly be other people on this forum who can but the best thing you can do is provide as much detail as possible.

Hi Flyinmaninmn, you've got two distinct questions there so firstly your plane that stops halfway down the runway; Please describe in detail what your controller set up is. Do you use a joystick? Does it have a built in throttle or do you use a seperate throttle? What make and model is your flight hardware. Do you use the key board for any basic flight control assignnents? Also, what plane are you flying and what airport are you taking off from? As to scenery; firstly, did you buy your copy of MSFS2020 from the Microsoft store or through Steam? Next, what exactly is it that you are trying to install? An airport? Everything you wish to add must go in the Community folder. Have you established where your community folder is? Add on scenery and add on aircraft must be placed in the Community folder within the sim. Not a copy of the community folder but the folder itself as it sits within the sims file structure. One other thing; forget all your past experience with FSX. MSFS2020 is a different beast.

If it's $49.99, what are we being charged in our great british pounds?

I don't think I've ever looked in any of the cabins of the complex airliners I own....🤷♂️

I'm very much of the school of "wanna fly a warbird? Get IL2 or DCS" but I'm very, very tempted by the Rafale.

Just a quick reminder of the weirdness of multiplayer model matching. Great break away by the Baron from 38000'😃

Heathrow, Gatwick and Big Jet TV are going to be very interesting Thursday, Friday and into Saturday...

This is very much one of those but having watched most of it, I don't think this plane offers too much to explore anyway. I did enjoy his attempts to make an aircraft not meant to break the sound barrier...try and break the sound barrier.🤷♂️

Can't tell a difference between 6 and 7 here. No stutters.I would have liked to have seen their journey...Until recently I would have disagreed with this vehemently and I honestly don't think it's a lack of talent. However, the lack of ambition has now become palpable in my opinion. The recent developer streams with blank faces when questioned about weather, graphics improvements, etc...the admittance that they've basically abandoned attempts at improving the in-sim ATC, the world hub...No. It was a decision taken to streamline development and delivery and therefore reduce overall costs for Microsoft. There is no separate development branches, no separate development teams, etc. The obvious problem with this is that it has to work on the lowest common denominator; which is the Xbox S. If you read through the official forums you can see that this solution has ended up pleasing neither console users nor PC users and MS/Asobo have effectively backed themselves into a corner. Development of MSFS2024 since it's release? Picture a toddler trying to hammer a square peg into both a round hole and a triangular hole... None of this will be eased until a new generation of consoles are released which will give Asobo the headroom to innovate again, hence SU7 is effectively one not very big nothing burger in terms of development of the sim. I don't think there's any doubt that MS view their creation as some sort of flagship within the entertainment software world and although they've rationalised a lot of the Xbox division, there's no sign of them abandoning it either. Considering the size of the development teams behind MSFS I'm coming round to the view that development is already going on in the background in preparation for a new iteration of the sim to coincide with the launch of a new Xbox. Whether this is a good thing or a bad thing remains to be seen...No fix for the drone camera control sliders? This was one of the first bugs logged in SU7 beta on 12th September and they've done absolutely nothing about it. I just don't understand how Microsoft and Asobo work. What is the point of a beta if they ignore the results?Ho hum...In the UK we've had a 20% vat* rate for fifteen years now. Price rises started to become noticeable last year. Now we're up to the good old 'what you pay in bucks, we pay in pounds' standard... *Sadly, I'm old enough to remember that vat was introduced in the UK to pay for our membership of the Common Market. Since we left, I'm still waiting for it to be abolished...Does this mean SU7 is about to arrive? ...or the servers have fallen over again...😎This slider is part of the paid map enhancement mod? Not necessarily a great solution...
