I'm mainly looking forward to the 2020 update, as I haven't moved over to 2024 for any 'formal' flying. I think the 2020 update has been baked and out of the oven a while but is held up by the turbulent 2024 situation. Main areas I'm excited about: Headphone simulation Rain sounds Better click-spots for cowl flaps (hopefully) and maybe the wing anti-ice switch (fiddly to flick it down) Fuel levels saving correctly (not sure if that fix is in), maybe a few other persistency elements Some other stuff I likely read about and have since forgotten! The update might also see me switch to 2024 at last, since the Duke is the main aircraft I'm flying these days (I tend to spend months with one aircraft at a time, as if I own it).

@Bentree Thanks, I will try that.

@Black-Square I bet dealing with the simulator is rather frustrating, particularly given all the hard work and attention to detail you put into your aircraft. I’ve just moved into 2024 from 2020. I liked 2020 as a sim but always found that night time was very very dark, it that representative in my opinion. Your aeroplanes are fantastic and I can’t wait to see what’s up next.

Although you can't do this in real life, I find that creating a flight plan with Simbrief will import the SID into the FMS as a series of waypoints, Vnav can then be used to put in the altitudes so you can see what they are meant to be at. With STARs you have to put them in as waypoints in the FMS one by one and again can use VNav to put in the altitudes. The AP won't automatically fly VNav but you can use them as guides to control your vertical profile. What this means is I don't have to use the 430 and have disabled it, yet can still easily use the AP to fly SIDs and STARs.

@neinnunb yeah I think this is what many of us are pushing for - not having to return back to the main hub.

@bspline Assuming we're talking about the new updated manuals, I added this question to the FAQ: "Will Real Taxiways signs models/textures interfere with other addons? There are several other addons that attempt to improve the appearance only of taxiways signs. Real Taxiways is not compatible with these addons, because it requires its own custom taxiway sign textures to create all the enhanced features listed in this manual." For an expanded answer, Real Taxiways has always required those custom textures to work, since it adds many new types of taxiway signage. In the original 2020 versions, you had make sure these textures were installed separately, while it's done as part of the same package in 2024 (and now also 2020). As long as Real Taxiways has priority over these other packages, its signs will display correctly. However, you can still use any other airport enhancement addons with Real Taxiways, as they will still enhance other aspects of the scenery, just not the taxiway sign textures. I hope that makes sense. I'm happy to help you figure out any compatibility questions you might have.

@Marionettework "Apart from the sanitation, the medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, the fresh water system, and public health, what have the Romans ever done for us?"

@Buzz you may well be right. Given that the majority of the time the aircraft is loaded in the sim, it will be in a running state, that approach won't make much of a meaningful difference vs a failure timer that only runs when engines are running. Nick said there's a reason for real inspections being "based on calendar months", which I took to mean that all the elapsed time between flights would be considered for failure generation when you next load the Duke in the sim, but I may have read too much into it. I suppose one way to test might be to set my computer clock to 1995 (furthest back Win10 will go), reinitialise the Duke by deleting any saved/state files, then load it in the present day and see if any failures had appeared. But I'll just wait and see if Nick clarifies first. If your idea is right, then maybe my idea can go on the wishlist instead - perhaps as a toggle option

I find my pop culture knowledge rather good for a 53 year old US citizen, but Laugh-In was before my time. Anyhow, to aid a little better, a certain password in the Starship is "BurtRutan"

This has been my desktop background for like a month. I caught this amazing break between layers and it was irresistibly screenshot material, didn't even care if it crashed the sim. [image: dpjQ5CM.jpeg] Bonus front quarter shot [image: iJJM0Oz.jpeg]

We haven't looked into the nav light behaviour post SU3, so I can't say for certain yet if there are any blockers that would prevent us from developing a workaround. It's something we'll properly look into when we come to developing the next update to the RJ. Mark - Just Flight

I checked again and ran the trig for different altitudes and was completely unable to paint the ground in MAP or WX mode regardless of the tilt. This seems like a shortcoming, I have on occasion at night with heavy rain tilted the radar down so the bottom of the beam catches ground at the edge of the display range. This helps identify a lower detection plane for the radar. For instance is I set the radar to paint the ground at 100 nm and the aircraft is ~30000ft AGL then at 50nm the bottom of the beam is 15000ft etc. Every tilt from -1 to -12 resulted in a dark screen for trying to get any sort of ground return

When generating schedules, a "Duplicate Route Probability" slider is available in advanced settings. This slider will vary how often the same routes are generated in the schedules. With "Infrequent" selected, there will be a low chance of seeing the same route generated multiple times. With "Very Frequent" selected, there will be a high chance of seeing the same route generated multiple times. Mark - Just Flight

I spent yesterday looking at this to try and recreate it and I wasn't able to reproduce it. I tried with MS2020, 2024 and the latest Beta via Steam. However, I have made some changes. This will prevent the message coming up about the time change being detected. This is in the build I have sent to Just Flight for Early Access. I'm hoping once customers get there hands on that it will either solve this issue or help steer us in the right direction. One question - does anyone have any add-ons running that may or could have the potential to manipulate time? Flight recording, replays anything like that? My installs are fairly bare bones with limited add-ons running. X-Plane seems to be fine and so is FSX.

The RJ100 QT should use the same weights as the RJ100 listed in the RJ Professional Operations Manual. We'll look into clarifying this in a future manual update. Mark - Just Flight

@Orlaam That is one of the reasons I prefer HTML/JS to WASM for my purposes. It's relatively hard to cause performance problems with JS, at least without knowing what probably caused it. It's almost impossible to cause a CTD, unless the issue lies within the simulator itself, and not your code (I have encountered about a dozen of those in MSFS over the years).

@KAPA-Flyer It will, rest assured.

And finally a good studysim float plane.

@Voice-of-Reason I purchased Rex Atmos previously and have not received discount email?

Right! Got it sorted. 4 for the 'On' + Repeat when held. Starter has a little dig but I'll live with that. Can't do a mag check though but I'll live with that as well. Thanks again for replying, I appreciate it. No need to look for another twin now.
