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

Played a little this evening. Performance is a lot better than before. Especially noticeable when launching from the launchpad. Where it froze for a second before it just chugs along smoothly now!

Update for @sergih123@lemmy.world and @alehc@lemmy.ml:

Falling into the sun is a bit time comsuming and finnicky. Try to keep your speed low when you approach the surface, and keep time warp to the lowest you can bear.

The surface is at around -30 km. It looks like this:

Descending further... Long trip. As you approach the core your speed will pick up rapidly. When you're at the core, you'll get slingshotted out of the core at a ludicrous speed, in my case 22248.0 km/s. Interstellar travel before it's implemented?Anyways quite satisfying flying out of the sun's core at a fraction of the speed of light. Can recommend!

... (picture soon, it won't upload)

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

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

In the most recent FAQ they did say that "virtually all add-ons that work in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020) today will function in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024". So all addons should hopefully still work. How that's gonna go with addons from third party stores, remains to be seen I guess. Would be a shame if they don't work, because that's where I got the majority of my addons.

But yeah, I'd be alot happier if the MSFS base game got lifted to this new version, and all the new content would be a paid DLC...

Hope not... I expect most of the things they showcased to just be missions, or activities as they call em nowadays. Doubt they'll touch free flight and just leave the realism up to the player with the assists like before. That seems logical to me at least?

But who knows? We'll have to wait and see!

I think I saw alot of third party planes in the trailer as well.

• 1:50 - Got Friends Astro ONE
• 1:54 - FlightFX SF50 Vision Jet

Also at 1:54, seasons!

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

Agree, seems tough for Asobo to be maintaining the same game basically twice.

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...

Is this the "Live, Laugh, Love" of planes?

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

I've seen a video about this plane by Tom Scott years ago. But I only recently learned this is an A310. Learned so by browsing the liveries of the IniBuilds A310 for MSFS, and there it was! It's a very cool variant for sure.

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.

They seem interesting. Aircraft accidents always make for engaging stories somehow, added them to my list! I'll see if I like em, thanks!

I think I listened to an episode of that one yeah. From what I remember they were explaining basic stuff, and I got annoyed listening by it hahah

Agree and oh man, I can't wait for the F70/100 as well! Slightly more modern, just how I like my planes

Hate to say it, but they might just give that one a shot after this one...

After that, we'll go for the smaller fish!
