With the 2020 release, I took the classic C172 to a local grass field and flew straight to my home. I think I'll make it a tradition and do the same with this version 😁

None, I will struggle first getting it to run on Pop Os πŸ˜‰

Hope you get it to work! I'm glad they reduced the file size on this one. Makes it easier to see if I can get it to work on NixOs πŸ˜„

Cessna 172, bb! Keeping the tradition alive. Been using this game since back in the DOS days and the default was flying out of Chicago on the Cessna.

But it might be a while before I get MSFS2024. I'll probably wait until it goes on sale.

Probably the Diamond DA62 since I have the most hours on it. From EDXH to ETMN

I'm looking forward to it but I'll probably wait a bit to see if it's stable at launch. I fly in VR and MSFS 2020 wasn't good in vr at the start, but kept getting better

Probably the VL-3 because it's my favourite simple GA aircraft, and has good visibility. I haven't pre-ordered yet but I will. I'm torn between Premium Deluxe, and Aviator, because I'll probably get my money's worth, but it is a lot of money lol.

The Globemaster III looks cool af to fly

[–] [email protected] 2 points 16 hours ago

Agree, Globemaster, A400M and Beluga will probably be the three planes I'll load in after the inaugural flight in the C172

Looks like they don’t have the water plane with wheels with the car looking dashboard anymore. :(. That was my favorite plane. I flew it across the us.

AFAIK every base game 2020 plane will be in it, and marketplace planes should work as well.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 15 hours ago

Oh amazing! Well I guess I’ll be taking a flight in that plane again

You mean the Icon A5? I think I see it bottom right second row?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 15 hours ago

Yep that is the one. I missed it. I’m glad it still is in there!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 17 hours ago

And another interesting question, what edition are you picking up, and have you pre-ordered yet?

Personally, I'll preorder the Premium Deluxe version sometime this week probably
