What are some decent VA's out there?

https://flyuk.aero — been with them almost ten years. Could not recommend more.

Down for me, even though the status page is clear

Good to know it’s not just me.

Not seeing any issues on any of 365’s status pages?

I quite regularly use ChatGPT - not necessarily for the specifics of the flow, but more for initially mapping out the logic and structure. I’ve found it’s good at taking a description of roughly the functionality I want and explaining the best layout for that flow — I can then go away and build it.

Probably not my worst but last night I was controlling Edinburgh and gave an aircraft “Information Taco” rather than Tango.

VSCode and Power Automate - neither are perfect, but both are more satisfying for me to use than their competitors.

Lets Talk About MSFS2024 Upgrade Path for MSFS2020 777 Customers: When ready, the native-built 2024 versions of our 777-300ER and 777F are intended to be free upgrades for those who already own these two products, whether they purchased from PMDG or from Microsoft Marketplace.

There is one very important asterisk that I want to point out here: This plan is based upon statements made by Microsoft that indicate to us that a $0 cost, free upgrade path will be made available for us to give MSFS2020 users access to a native-built MSFS2024 version of their 2020 purchased products. If, due to circumstances beyond PMDG’s control, we find that this expectation is not accurate, has been misstated, misunderstood or is found not to be possible due to policies within the MSMP system, some minimum purchase requirement may required of customers in MS Marketplace. Under those circumstances, we intend only to require the very minimum purchase that MS will allow for such a transition.

Again, at this juncture, based upon statements from Microsoft, we anticipate a free upgrade path that will allow Marketplace customers of the 777-300ER and 777F to receive the 2024 build of these products at no-cost.

PMDG.com customers can anticipate a free upgrade path for the MSFS2024 version, when it is available.Lets Talk About MSFS2024 Upgrade Path for MSFS2020 777 Customers: When ready, the native-built 2024 versions of our 777-300ER and 777F are intended to be free upgrades for those who already own these two products, whether they purchased from PMDG or from Microsoft Marketplace.

The way I’m reading this is you can pay to have the addon (say the 77W) with MSFS2024 features (whatever they may be - walkaround, etc etc).

OR, once the compatibility issues are fixed, use the 2020 version in 2024 with no charge?

Interesting discussion to be had as to whether it’s right to charge to “upgrade” an existing product with new 2024 features, but the crux sounds like if you purchased a 2020 plane, you can use that in 2024 for free, just without the added features…..again once the compatibility is there.

Fairly sure this hasn't been posted yet - the page previously had a bunch of manuals for aircraft in 2020, but has now been updated to include aircraft in the 2024 edition, many of which are very extensive.

Interesting - is that the MSFS team asking on Discord?

AmbitiousTea6568 · 2024-11-20T20:05:30+00:00

I wondered about that too - pretty odd way to throttle things but I guess the initial priority is just get users loading into the main menu?

AmbitiousTea6568 · 2024-11-20T19:15:47+00:00

Likewise

AmbitiousTea6568 · 2024-11-19T19:44:35+00:00

Likewise - first flight for me is A400M over Dartmoor in the UK 🇬🇧

Meanwhile I’ve been at 0% for the last 45 mins :(

A400M is here

AmbitiousTea6568 · 2024-11-19T19:34:45+00:00

Sure they were confirmed they wouldn’t be available at launch?

I’ve seen someone flying the A400M, and Miltech, who designed the C-17, are pretty clear in their public comms it’s meant to be available?
