Burbank to Romona, CA...just a little fog but otherwise a perfect day flight. Thanks for viewing and please comment, Darryl

Very enjoyable. Love the boosted power...... Enjoy your weekend all.

Beautiful morning flight....

1st of January. Hot summer in Australia. Titanic Pose is very effective for airing the limbs and armpits. 🙂 Each landing should end with a confident run 🙂

Thanks for looking !! . John

It was an adventure to say the least. This is how the radar looked: TAPA Into the soup TNCM in the distance short final A few distractions, but overall very exciting. Jose

Road From Kodiak To Fairbanks Then Fairbanks To Barrow (Utqiagvik). Boarding to Kodiak. Pushback and startup. Taking off RW 11. V1,VR,V2... Cruise flight at FL300 over Ted Stevens... Landing RW 20R...deboarding. Boarding to Fairbanks on a very cold morning. Pushback. Taking Off RW 02L. Cruise to FL360. Landing RW 7.

Just some randoms from a NZ flight NZTG-NZAA, Aircraft performs good, G1000 is the same as P3d/FSX, Sounds are dreadful compared to MSFS default A/C, Textures inside the VC are quite good, and outside are the impeccable Carenado HD standard. Is it worth it. Not really. Flight dynamics are notably more stable than default and feels heavier than the C172, I`m not disappointed with the aircraft, it`s just lacking that zing this flight simulator gives us. First shot was from NZQN the day before. Cheers Rick

I'm curious as to why Aerosoft has entered into a partnership with MS to distribute the physical copy via DVD only. I removed my DVD drive from my PC ages ago, I really only use digital downloads or USB attached media these days. Would it not make sense to also distribute via a USB stick? Cheers, Jerome

Hi guys, even tho this is not new by now, i only managed to listen to a little bit of the whole interview now since it's 43 minutes long. I wish there was a transcript of it all to capture all the finest details. If you want to listen to it too: https://www.dropbox.com/s/npflp15dzg40o2b/AVSim_Interview_AUDIO.mp3 - HELICOPTERS: It needs a rework compared to what FSX offered, it will take time and it will also depends on what the community feedback. From Bing Map they can extract helipads from the real world. - WEATHER: Microsoft Flight Simulator features realistic volumetric 3D rain and scattered fog, rain effects on windshields and even physically accurate rainbows in the environment. The new volumetric clouds are ultra-detailed with 32 layers of density, shape and fuzziness and are fully 3D and therefore visible from any angle. Clouds are simulated around the world with a view distance of 600km. live, real-world weather, including fronts, storms, rain, and all-real-world clouds presented in the sim. The simulator uses 20 vertical layers of worldwide weather data, including pressure, temperature, humidity, wind speed, direction and gusts. - Improved Aerodynamics: improved physics engine, surface element aerodynamics and new air mass simulations. new collision model that allows the support of slopped runways, skidding, braking and bumps. There are over 1000 simulated surfaces with locally applied 3D forces and 3D moments, enabling local stalling, buffeting and flutter. Native support of advanced aerodynamics makes it possible for realistic stalls, deep stalls, spins in addition to other aerobatics: chandelle, flat spin and invert flat spin. The air mass simulation affects each surface of the aircraft locally and differently, and any 3D shape of any size impacts the movements of air. Hills, mountains and buildings create thermics, updrafts and currents. - INSTALL SIZE: the MSFS install size for now should be around 100gb and he keeps around 10gb reserved for the cache (remember that this space can be set by the user). He also mentions that a couple of GB will go away by covering the airport and the nearby area for a typical descent/climb. This of course also varies depending on the Bing coverage and how much data is available in that area. The Seattle area of the pre-alpha with LOD 19 and LOD 20 was around 60gb - ATC: they mentioned that in one of the dev build on the world map you would see green dots flying around. And those dots were real life traffic and you could click on it to get info on said flight, and even setup the same flight. You can't crash into them but you can see them, and at one point the AI takes the "yoke" because the data stops when they finish landing. - THIRD PARTIES: in contact with them since E3. Some were invited to visit Asobo too in case they needed info even before the SDK gets released. The SDK is evolved from the one FSX had and they are getting feedback from third parties - ASOBO: 60% of them are taking real flight lessons - AZURE: based on 20,000 computers, managed to tag all trees on the planet from satellite photo in under 7 days. It also managed to find houses, the kind of rooftop on them, clouds and blurred areas in the orthophotos - User Interface: At Microsoft there is a User Research Department made by behavioral scientists, all PhDs and in the labs they can track what users are doing with the eyes and hands to create the most elegant GUI. - SOUNDS: real sound for each aircraft (partnership with manufacturers) - VR: They cannot say at the moment whether it will be there on first release but they’re trying to prioritise it Have you extracted anything else from it which wasn't covered in other videos/articles around or in the list above?

Me thinks patch is Live!

More strange formations in MSFS scenery. These appeared then later disappeared. That is Morgantown, WV, below. Perhaps those formations are the West Virginia University Mountaineers.

Hi Guys, I own the MCP1 and just installed FSUIPC7 so that it will work with MSFS2020, followed the instructions, everything seems fine in the LINDA window but no response at all from the MCP1 or the MSFS when i try to tweak the autopilot ion the sim.. PIC any ideas?
