    I've come to agree with my wife, whose advice was to stop trying to keep up with every new thing and enjoy the system you've always enjoyed (P3D4). Turned out to be great guidance. I have a full complement of excellent Orbx scenery, a library of all the special payware planes I want, and an extensive freeware collection of hard-to-find aircraft. My system is stable -- the bugs have long ago been worked out. Just saying.


    But you’re flying on an old game now and all the new developments and innovation are going to be on FS2020 for the foreseeable. For me FS2020 isn’t just about wanting to keep up with the new thing. The experience of using it, especially in multiplayer and group flights is just far superior. 
     

    Best guidance I saw regarding wives and flightsim (or any purchasing) is it’s better to ask for forgiveness than beg for permission! 
     

    That sage advice didn’t come from my wife though.

  2. I’m in the beta, the 787 is on the second version now in beta and working title have absolutely transformed this aircraft. 
     

    I’m amazed how much better it is now. Sure it’s not quite PMDG but it’s pretty good. 
     

    it’s also impressive how much effort WT are putting into improving it more and their high levels of engagement, particularly how they listen to and incorporate feedback through discord or the forums etc.

  3. All you need is some kind of marketplace credits on pc and you automatically then get the content on Xbox, 

     

    I’ve got a pc and Xbox and only buy from marketplace as any purchases are shared. Yes you wait longer for releases and updates but. . .

     

    Markeptplace is much better than when the game first came out there’s an intention to have a free section also once the backlog is dealt with.

  4. I get the impression Orbx ask the dev if they want to put it on marketplace, I think sometimes there’s some marketplace requirements that might put them off I guess. Always seems odd to me as marketplace has a massive reach now with all the new players on console, limited to content from marketplace.

    Now that you said that I think it will :D

    Fantastic! (Fingers crossed) 

     

    I fly it and IRL so I love seeing it at your beautiful airports. Normally devs just drop some TUI 737s in but your 787 was a great addition. 
     

    Can’t wait for EGNX! It’s where I went for an interview for my first flying job so it always has special place in my heart.

    Previews looks absolutely stunning, as expected from you! Can't wait!

    Would love to see EGKK, EGSS and EGGW (in that order) next

    Agreed! The released payware EGKK isn’t that great, had no updates since release and pyreegue could make this busy U.K. airport (once the busiest single runway in the world) awesome!

    Personally Pyreegue is my favourite dev so I want every airport to his level of quality but I personally don't think Manchester (and Birmingham) need a redo, I'd rather have a redo of a poorly done airport or one not done at all :) 

    Agree with this! 


    EGCC and EGBB aren’t awesome but I’d rather see stansted or east mids or somewhere like Newquay (EGHQ) done than Manchester and Birmingham redone.

    Unusual though, normally a single engine failure would be a PAN call, Mayday is for dire life threatening issues. As most (all)  twin engine passenger jets can fly with a single engine then although the issue is serious it was not a Mayday - unless of course there were other issues. No doubt this will all come out in due course. As you say a wonderful result whatever the semantics.

    Normally it would be a mayday initially to get attention and let everyone know what’s going on and then downgrade to a pan if it’s all under control. Some countries don’t really recognise a pan.

  9. Just bought GB north and it’s great. There’s a real lack of this kind of VFR scenery on the Xbox as we’re limited to the marketplace.

     

    Was hoping the canaries and Scotland (or even gb south) region packs would be coming too. Perhaps if GB north sells well then we’ll see it? 


    I think seafront sims and the guy that makes the birds packs are doing well on the Xbox providing more VFR content for exploring. We’re also getting more France VFR products and packs appearing too. 
     

    My view is the Scotland and Canaries both have great alrports now and have been featured in world updates so people will be drawn to these areas more. They’re also appearing in more third party add ons like the FS academy missions etc, 
     

    City packs like Dubai or cape town look great and I bought Dubai on Xbox day 1 but the surrounding areas aren’t that great for flying and exploring. I expect after future WUs cover S Africa people will pile in and buy more content in those areas. 
     

    Thanks for keeping us up to date Anna, Orbx products are always a marketplace purchase for me.
