    Ah, I just realised reason #3. NeoFly doesn't support X Plane 11 or P3D (it's for FS2020 only). This made me sad.

    Is trying to do both akin to trying to be all things to all people? I'm wondering if trying to cater to both the bush crowd and the airline crowd is too ambitious... that said, I do tend to flit between both depending on my mood.

    That would be amazing! Is there any news on this? Thank you, that means a lot to me. Yes! I've heard a lot about NeoFly since I started researching. Why isn't it the market leader? Most people seem to use OnAir. Aha, well that's new! Kudos to AH for dropping the Microsoft Office 2010 theme! I will give this new version a try.

    Ever heard of a flight sim eco game/app? A flight sim eco (“flight simulator economy”) game/app, which is a fun way to add immersion and meaning to flight simulators like Flight Simulator 2020. It's like a campaign mode, but it's a separate gamified app that runs alongside a flight simulator and connects via a plugin. Notable apps in this genre are: OnAir, Air Hauler 2, and FSEconomy. This genre has actually been around for years (maybe 10+ years). But, FSEconomy is extremely archaic now, Air Hauler 2 has an overly complex interface (some say unfinished), and OnAir has a poorly designed server architecture (slow page loads, downtime, etc). I've been using OnAir for a few months and was totally addicted, but I found their customer support a little bit lacking, the screens very slow to load, and the 3 hours of weekly downtime was driving me nuts (they also banned me on Discord for criticising them on this issue). It's because they insist on using a slow monolithic TCP/IP server instead of speedy modern serverless pub/sub... their view on architecture is surprisingly old fashioned. So, I decided to fund development of a competitor app and we're now in the user experience (UX) design stage. If you're interested in sharing your thoughts about how we should go about this, here's a few UX research questions: https://research.typeform.com/to/FIMkVF6Q
