g-liner

That’s the issue, it will likely sort itself out and fly the approach correctly when you slow down but it should be able to draw the approach in advance correctly if the correct speeds are in the FMC. Either at each waypoint or on the descent page but unfortunately it doesn’t. Sure it’s an irritation if you’re checking the route in advance before before the descent etc is correct as you would IRL but it will still likely fly it correctly when you get there. That’s my understanding anyway.

Maybe an ‘ancient wonders of the world pack’ with things like the colossus of Rhodes but set in the modern day harbour. Obviously there might be issues putting these things in modern day settings but I’d think it would be interesting to check out what they’d look like. I’m sure there’s all kinds of other famous past monument or castles etc that could be added and the great thing is, as most were never accurately pictured, nobody can complain that they aren’t study level. Maybe call it ancient monuments?

I’d love this too, would be great to fly along the wall, checking it out.

Seems overly harsh, I think the default 78 is pretty good, some of the LNAV and VNAV logic is impressive, particularly things like their implementation of on approach logic and the ability to fly rnp (ar) approaches etc, better in that aspect than some of the traditionally well regarded higher fidelity airliners. Horizon haven’t done all that much to it imho.

It’s seems to me there’s a huge commitment to keep improving everything including the weather.

Flightsim does seem to attract some interesting personalities and types of people. I think it’s the constant focus on fidelity and then wanting to defend the products you enjoy or identify with for their fidelity. I.E. the need to believe what you’re doing in the game/sim is ultra realistic and getting upset when others suggest it might not be. This manifests itself in the following types of behaviour, getting upset when it’s called a game. Upset when someone says PMDG (insert other Dev) isn’t that realistic in a certain area, getting upset at “gamification” of the product, viewing other users as not being as serious, particularly console users. MSFS is pretty good but it was limited as a new product by what’s come before, FS2024 looks like it will be the first true next gen sim and will evolve as fs2020 has. Jorg and the asobo people are clearly VERY passionate and knowledgeable about the sim and to me it’s all going in the right direction. It’s a fantastic time to be into flightsim and the more attractive it becomes for everyone, yes that’s casual simmers, the more money and free content and new devs will arrive into it. Let’s not be upset the hobby is becoming more mainstream, nobody here owns it or the right to control how it evolves. For most this evolution is bringing huge benefits.

The commercial simulators at Boeing I use at work for my checks capture weather, particularly crosswind and turbulence and rvr depictions FAR more realistically than flightsim 2020 does. These are zero flight time sims. Even real “commercial simulators” do vary massively and not all have the same fidelity.

Any chance your Orkney/Shetland/Falklands could come to marketplace for console users? They'd be really popular and everyone knows the score with marketplace (no free content) and would be happy having to pay for them. You can make them a pack or bundle. Plenty of devs have released things for min cost on marketplace that are free on pc to share the love with console pilots.

I think the point is they’re not really innovating just releasing the (exact) same aircraft on each platform and their aircraft are now behind what other devs are doing especially with things like lnav. The Q and A gave cautious cause for optimism though that they might be raising their bar a bit with the 777 though.

This was the big one imho. It’s still suitably vague for wriggle room but great to see him acknowledge that it’s an important and missing aspect of their aircraft and has been for 10 years. Really hope this gets improved and added to the 777 and rolled back into the 73

I thought there was some around the keywest end of the keys and that fort place. Maybe not though as everyone seems to agree with you that there wasn’t any in the first place!

The pilots with the best landing challenge scores get to fly it?

They did around key west, I thought anyway plus fort Jefferson etc. Either way the Caribbean Wu now has fantastic watermasking over the missing western area and looks far better.

It’s the water mask missing in the Caribbean WU most in the area that went missing are back but the Florida keys are still missing.

Looks like the missing Caribbean water masking for the west Caribbean is there now with Jamaica, Bahamas, Cuba and Dominican Republic all looking amazing! florida keys water mask still missing though?
