https://my.vatsim.net/events/2-years-on-trip-to-wolf-s-fang-runway Can recommend this one next time. Although you should definitely look into programming a custom waypoint before you try to land. Spotting the runway is hard in the middle of nowhere.

Is this added to the base game, or do you need to do some tricks to get this to work?

[–] CertifiedSimPilot@lemmyfly.org 2 points 11 months ago

I think I boot up the simulator too sporadically to join a VA, I've read multiple VA's that require you to fly at least once a month. Plus it feels a bit limiting in a way? Not being in a VA allows you to fly where ATC is on Vatsim and wherever in the world you want.

If anyone has tested the Fenix A320 alongside it, would love to hear if that works as well

 

Can't wait for this one! Extra performance is very welcome. And the extra variants are definitely nice to have too!

Had one go-around, but the landing was good for the weather I'd say. I was kinda surprised, the performance calculation showed me stopping at the end of the runway, but I stopped one holding point before the last one even! (G4 instead of G5)

Anyways Volanta showed it as a -335 fpm / 1.07G, so I'm happy

 

Weather at the time:
METAR EHAM 050855Z 26029G41KT 8000 -RA FEW018 SCT023 13/12 Q1002 TEMPO 4000 RA

Thanks to the Vatsim ATC at Schiphol for making the landing even more exciting!

You may copied the URL of the page instead of the image URL.
Be sure to right click the image, and copy the image URL, instead of the URL of the webpage. So in case of Imgur, the URL should look like i.imgur.com , instead of imgur.com

Good to know that posting from Volanta servers works flawlessly! Good way to reduce storage on the lemmyfly servers I'd say

 
 

Still an enjoyable flight. Can't wait for more long haulers in MSFS!

 

AMD Chill limits your FPS basically. You can enable it in Adrenalin.

Wish it could go lower than 30, but it's a quick way to toggle between 60+ fps and 30. Will definitely be using it when I arrive in the cruise phase from now on.

As far as I'm aware this is free to keep forever!

 

From Reddit:

TL;DR

  • Thin client, less to download, faster loading times, helps keep min specs low

  • All new physics and aerodynamics engine with much more control for aircraft developers to define aircraft surfaces/geometry to make full use of the flight dynamics.

  • Fully simulated hot air balloon physics.

  • Massive performance improvements, multi-threaded

  • Backwards-compatible (community folder still there)

  • Updated systems (electrical, pneumatic, fuel and hydraulic)

  • Failure, wear and tear system

  • Payload and passenger system overhaul

  • Deeper and wider avionics packages

  • Enhanced tree diversity

  • Improved cliffs

  • 3rd tessellated ground materials

  • Improved ground details - Screenshot

  • Full seasons

  • Aurora borealis, tornados, improved storms

  • Animals herds and migration

  • World live ship traffic

  • Accurate live traffic + more real liveries

  • Improved vehicle traffic

It's looking pretty good, hope the transition from FS2020 to FS2024 will be a smooth one!

 

Today’s trailer was a short teaser to introduce Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024. We are excited to share much more information about the next generation of the Microsoft Flight Simulator franchise in the coming months. We have been monitoring your feedback to the trailer very closely and apologize for our delayed communication. We would like to take the opportunity to address some of the most common questions we’ve seen.

Will Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 be a completely standalone sequel, or will it also be offered as a paid update for existing players?

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 is a standalone simulator and the next-generation sequel to Microsoft Flight Simulator that launched in 2020. Current aircraft and airports that are in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020), as well as virtually all Marketplace add-ons, will be supported in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024.

What kind of support can Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020) players expect to see once Flight Simulator 2024 has been released?

We will continue to deliver our Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020) Roadmap which has content ranging from Aircraft and Avionics Updates, Sim Updates, City and World Updates, and also the free Dune DLC. We will continue to support Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020) post the Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 launch.

Will all purchases users have made from the Marketplace be transferrable to the new simulator?

With very few exceptions, virtually all add-ons that work in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020) today will function in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024. Add-ons that were purchased from the in-simulator Marketplace will not need to be re-purchased in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024.

Aamir from FenixSim's prediction on how the update will be compared to MSFS2020:

No, this is why I'm saying it will be a free update to 2020. It will replace 2020. Customers on 2020 get a free core engine update and get pulled into 2024. All the 2024 content is locked up and if you want it, then you pay.
But a service like this
With servers and shit to keep running.
No chance they want to run two platforms at once.

Seems reasonable? Hopium it's true...

I put a 1000h into MSFS2020, surely I can reach a 1000h more on this one!

Feel free to post screenshots of your game when it drops in !flightsim@lemmyfly.org

 

Wow... This looks amazing!

Probably an update on FS2020? Or a new standalone thing? Very excited regardless!

Edit:
New game instead of an update. Confirmed by Xbox on Twitter.

Sequel? Not an update for MFS 2020?

that's right, a brand new sequel!
