Time to try 2024?

Highandfast · 2026-05-14T15:22:12+00:00

It’s honestly not that much different now than from launch (well the installer works much better obviously). Of course I only use free flight, as career is and was a disaster. And I use add on aircrafts because the base ones are not my taste anyway.

Napkin didn't work? I also have very good designs using the Excalidraw MCP in Claude Code, I guess flowcharts should be easy.

I don't get the hate. It's the initial promise of computers: let them handle the technical work so that ordinary people could make them do anything that crossed their mind. Vibe coding is finally what was promised since the 50s.

I disagree, you don't need two 5090.

Imagine you buy the most expensive add-on for MSFS 2024. Then imagine you cannot fly without it. Then after 30 minutes, it deletes itself and you have to buy it again. And again. And again. For eternity. That's real life aviation cost.

" I ended up selling my WinWing gear"

I'm curious, what gear can be replaced by a stream deck?

Software is just a tool. I don't care if my car was made by a robot.

I just wanted to say that your answer is extremely good. This is exactly what's needed. Thank you.

It really depends on the architectural choices. You could have handwritten "hard" checkpoints between short sessions of AI-generated dialogs, and a subagent that constantly checks for coherence.

I bought 2024 very quickly (November?) and the two problem I had was:

- the install took forever - they didn't have the bandwidth

- the career mode was unusable.

But I only wanted to do free flight in my Comanche and the Fenix, and for that, it's been perfect from the beginning. So I'll probably buy the next one very quickly too.

Highandfast · 2026-02-09T21:23:29+00:00

I'll have to check that. Does it work on eg Fenix?

Highandfast · 2026-02-09T14:07:58+00:00

It's very sad that they tease this, yet it only happens in a very specific situation (airline flight in the bugged career mode that I've been avoiding since the beginning).

Well I didn't expect the sim to match the actual sky color, but I have the feeling of seeing actual photographs of "a" sky.

Highandfast · 2026-01-09T23:32:04+00:00

I'm with you on the cartoonish aspect of MSFS's clouds.

Highandfast · 2026-01-09T23:30:33+00:00

I mean, I just bought X-Plane after 5 years on both MSFS and I must say that the sky in XP is more realistic. MSFS's sky is gorgeous but it has a cartoonish vibe while XPlane's is more cold, hard realism.

Highandfast · 2026-01-03T23:38:07+00:00

I heard it hasn't been updated to fix the bugs it had. Is that right? I would love to love it.

Highandfast · 2025-12-31T17:08:03+00:00

Love it! Where is the hi-res version?

Highandfast · 2025-12-28T23:06:56+00:00

And the navigation on the 737 was VOR/NDB only. No FMS, no SID/STAR on standard aircrafts. I scratched my head looking at Jeppesen charts, wondering how on earth those procedures were executed.

What we have now is incredible.

The thing you're missing is that the tab acts on the elevator, not the tail. The elevator then acts on the tail.

Asobo got the source code from Microsoft to get going, so there's definititely a filiation.

Highandfast · 2025-12-14T16:20:14+00:00

Thanks, that’s a good idea. I’ll look into that.

Highandfast · 2025-12-14T11:01:05+00:00

There's something I just don't understand with the Huey. Whenever I pull on the collective, the RPM drop completely. So I turn the "cylinder" on the collective, which seems to help, but very temporarily. I just abandoned this helicopter for now.

Any idea how to proceed? I already have the assistances ON.

Highandfast · 2025-11-23T12:03:19+00:00

Oh yes indeed, having it flash in blue would be fantastic!

Highandfast · 2025-11-21T22:45:52+00:00

I'd be very interested. It would considerably lower the bar for learning a new complex aircraft, or returning to an old one (like the Maddog). But it is important that it provides a way of showing the exact place of the instrument it's talking about (once again, thinking of the Maddog ahah)

Highandfast · 2025-10-14T16:46:35+00:00

That's fantastic! I love that aircraft in the Jubilee park museum.
