The pack crushes the surrounding PG so hopefully DD updates it quickly.

Is there anything about which you don’t have a strong opinion?🤣

I use this one. It is native 2024 and adds nav aids active as of 2002. When you see all the additional ones added to the LittleNavMap, it provides a great visual representation of just how much aviation has changed in 25 years. Flightsim.toHistorical Navaids Restore (DAFIF 2002) - MSFS Add-on - F...✓ For Microsoft Flight Simulator: This add-on restores 4,411 NDB and 465 VOR or VOR-DME stations from the 2002 DAFIF dataset to Microsoft Flight Simulator, covering civil navigation aids no longer preAlso for anyone who doesn’t have a Navigraph subscription, Sky4Sim provides a moving map with multiple map options, plus includes FAA Sectional Charts. It has a free tier that includes the above and works great in VR. https://sky4sim.com Lastly, I highly recommenf the videos on YouTube from Alpha Hotel Flight Simulator for learning GA VFR/IFR navigation and avionics. He has several playlists worth checking out. He is very thorough and I wouldn’t be surprised if he is an instructor of some type IRL. Here is a link to just one of his many videos. It concerns reading VFR US FAA sectionals.

Thanks! I’m well aware and use them both extensively, but there aren’t any add-ons available for Bali except Aerosoft’s airport.

Thank you very much for checking the 2024 compatibility for me! I assumed the detail would not be on par with current releases, but am pleased to know that it at least works well in 2024. I will pick this one up during the next sale and hope it gets an update.

Thank you!!!!

Other than the duplicate windsock, does the scenery work well in 2024. I have been holding off buying it since it doesn’t list it as being 2024 compatible. Thanks!

Yeah, but you’re not the average simmer here complaining about not seeing landing gear. 😆 I didn’t mean to imply that just because you sim, you might not enjoy the racing. It was rather to amplify where MS is focused which is on drawing in new players, not on adding in new features the traditional simmer is clamoring for. I for one will also enjoy it. And please don’t assume I mainly fly airliners. They are my least flown plane. I own over 100 payware aircraft (Helicopters, bush, GA, biz jets, warbirds, airliners, etc.) and over 500 other add-ons (airports, bush strips, world enhancements, utilities, etc.) I am pretty sure I’ve explored EVERY aspect MSFS can provide and rotate between the different categories of aircraft frequently. Lastly, I have been one of the staunchest supporters of MSFS 2024. I’m not bothered by what a lot of simmers here view as important items to be fixed. My entire post was not to be critical of the sim, but rather to tell everyone that they should probably adjust their expectations on getting a lot of new features in this iteration of MSFS.

He said that quite sometime ago. Over the past year during interviews and dev streams, the messaging is that they are only focused on bug fixes and improving Career Mode. Plus they are also launching the National Championship Air Races releasing next month. That may not appeal to the hardcore simmer, but it will to a lot of console users. I believe a lot of development will continue around things to engage new gamers to keep growing their market. For example, Stranger Things was a gamble to draw in new gamers and casual players. But for me it was a wasted effort, and I would much rather have seen resources allocated elsewhere. For the traditional simmer, I hope we get some new features, but I seriously doubt it. They haven’t alluded to any new features in the pipeline. Maybe they are keeping some plans secret, but that seems highly unlikely, especially after seeing what’s in SU7, the most recent interview, and their most recent actions.

Jorg has been crystal clear there focus is on bug fixes not new features. I think it’s a subtle way of saying that all new feature development will be for the next iteration of MSFS. So I surmise we should not expect any significant new features for 2024.

I agree. I avoided flying this plane due to the sounds, but this sound pack elevates the 850 back into my rotation, and near the top for a while. Sure it would have been great if Black Square and Boris would have already completed a sound overhaul, but thank you Echo 19 for filling the void. This pack is excellent and I will not regret my purchase if Black Square releases a sound update in six, twelve, forty-eight months, who knows when!

Black Square BLACK SQUARE DEVELOPER wrote 14 days agolast edited by Boris and I are still trying to find the time for this. Since it's not a new release, I'm trying not to break the bank with Boris' amazing work. However, I know that I want it to happen eventually, because then all my mainline aircraft will have the same treatment. That's the kind of consistency that I feel I must achieve across my fleet. https://community.justflight.com/topic/11161/echo19-tbm850-coming-soon/5

This is just Echo19’s own pack. See post below. Personally, I like Echo19’s sound work, find it on par with Boris, and will be buying this when it’s released. It doesn’t sound like a new set will be coming from BS any time soon.

Absolutely! This plane is outstanding as are all of Azurpoly’s aircraft.k
