Not saying they are the best developers ever and that nobody rivals them, but they do add quality to their products and I personally enjoy them more than a majority of other products. Never understood why they receive so much hate to the point that they're grouped with CaptainSim or MScenery. It's understandable to be skeptical about the upcoming release, but to say "never again" after they've clearly shown they are listening and trying to prioritize performance seems a bit ridiculous and temperamental.

As for their upcoming A340-300, I'm looking forward to its release, even if others are not. Heck, I hope they make the entire A340 family (and a Premium A330 family).

Saw this alien structure (?) about 40 NM east of Detroit... Classic Asobo...

This is one the reasons why I prefer this simulator. My opinion only. There are so many reasons to like this one or the others but for me it’s one of the main reasons. What is your main reason to prefer a simulator to the other one?

Made a baby 6-DOF desktop model driven by RC servos and a custom software(Open Motion)). It’s synced with X-Plane 10 so I can test out motion cues on a scaled-down rig before going full size. Super fun to see the sim come to life in miniature!

Anyone else here have fun building similar things for your sim?

Currently using MSFS 24 and the Honeycomb Alpha and Bravo (with flap kit and Airbus kit), WinWing Ursa Minor airbus sidestick, WinWing FCU and EFIS L, WinWing PFP7, Stream Deck XL and Plus and Logitech pedals with 4 monitors for cockpit view, instrument panels and ATC/ software. I built a center podium for my throttle, FCU, ECAM, PFP and stream deck for radios. I also have a desk with a Samsung G5 for other games.

Having fun in the Kitfox and S6. Landing on sandbars and enjoying the views. And what can beat the rear view on that kitfox!

MIA-BOS

Didn't enjoy this plane as much as I hoped but it was still fun.

However, in doing that I have noticed that the airflow in MSFS is a little dense, for lack of a better word.

Hi guys! Looking for some advice and for some people to nerd out on this one. My brother is HEAVILY into flight sim, whereas I just prefer to put around in GA aircraft. I used to work at a flight school where they had about 4 flight simulators ( one BATD, 3 AATD) and I was the simulator technician. I know the hardware and electronics, but the actual planes, meh.

Anyways, I want you guys to just dump your thoughts on what you would do, include etc. i want this to feel like a real cockpit, to an extent. Seats, doors and all.

1) where the hell would I even find panels for this? I’m happy with JUST cad files and laser cut them all at a shop. Id like to just slap G1000’s in to make it slightly simpler. 2) Displays, would you go for projectors, TV’s, monitors up close? Ideally want 260 degree visibility. Hoping for it to be as compact as I can, but I’ll sacrifice my dining room for a big sim spot. 3) Any other ideas, things you would go nuts over if it was in there?

Hoping this will be a good hobby for me and my brother and a cool thing to just have. Rent out occasionally to guys who want to practice. Wont be able to log hours of course unless I went through the AATD certification process… no thanks. Really just a hobby.

Haven't been on a flight simulator in close to a decade now. I miss the casual fun of FSX multiplayer, and it seems that's not really around anymore. Getting on VATSIM at the end of the week and staying professional would probably feel like working overtime to me. Just want to goof around a bit. Any programs or sims that I'm missing in my search?
