The advantage is, i will always repeat it, that the hardware is the same for everybody, and in this case is not less than a pc. You fight with parameters, performances, but in the consoles programs are tested with the same hardware, it's much easier to create a standard. I don't think that the console version will be too different from the pc version, in some cases games are born on the consoles and then ported on pc. I don't know if this is the case but i read that MSFS was tested on the consoles too with very good performances, so i am happy about this version.

Orbx is evaluing all the solutions so that the jetaways will be animated in the future in our airports, anyway it's maybe too early to advance hypothesis.

As for this old post
A friend told me he installed it in P3D V4 following the same rules and it works fine.

I played a lot that game!
That was just one of the game where the tape rewinded or forwarded to load the areas. Converted in the floppy, it was just another experience to play it. For sure your own imagination made the rest, at least for me it was so.

Even if i had the simulator on the Amiga, on the pc this was my first version. The manual is a cult, very well done, now manuals are only digitals or very essentials, how things change!
The image with the C 64 is simply fantastic!!!

@Ripcord Yes, i remember that! In many cases you had to adjust the head alignement of the tape with a screwdriver to load the program, it wasn't reliable at all. then i bought a floppy drive for the C 64, anyway it was enormous ahahahah I had card device that allowed to freeze the program already loaded and save it into the floppy drive. This meant random access instead of serial access, much more fast and direct access to the parts of the game (sometimes you had to rewind or forward the tape to load further parts of the game).
@walterg74 i have DCS world, anyway that 80's was the period of the cold war and i had a lot of fun with all those Jet Simulators. I played very few with DCS, maybe i should look at it better, but it didn't catch me a lot
Anyway other age now.

Even if i started with the Commodore 64, it was Commodore Amiga 500 with 2 floppy drives, HD 40 MB, and 3 MB RAM expanded. I had all the flight simulators games, included all the jet military simulators (these things belong to the 80's because today no more great simulators like those, in despite of today hardware would allow really great games of this genre).
Still working

Well - I think it's time to drop my mask (at least a bit)
My name is Martin, I'm a fully qualified archaeologist but work as a freelance translator. I grew up in planes because my father was constantly posted to exotic places by his company and have survived loopings in a helicopter over Barbados, non-closing doors on Ghana Airways back in the seventies, engine failures on transatlantic flights and made it safely back to the ground after taking near-derelict Russian commercial jets... I actually wanted to become a pilot once, but my eyes prevented that dream from coming to fruition.
I've been flightsimming from the good old Microprose days.
In this pic I was a bit pissed to be dragged out from behind my screen to go for a walk.
My other real hobby is 2CVs. I've had the one in this pic
for more than 23 years now, but currently also call an Ami 6 my own and had AK 400 vans, Acadianes and Visas in the past. The neat part about the 2CV is that it's a bit like flying an old biplane. Wind hits you from all angles, the windows are hinged half-way up like in some Cessnas and the needle of the speedometer gets stuck sometimes, so that you have to tick it with your finger to get it moving again - like in those old airplane disaster movies where they suddenly realise that they have run out of fuel
By the way - the car is commonly known as "the duck" in German - and that's where my Mallard nick comes from (loads of German 2CV drivers only know me under that name)...
Cheers

You're a myth Mallard !
Good to see you in person !!! (I like a lot the 2CVs too ehhehe)

X Box Controller in General use

I think it's also possible with the PS4 controller, using a X-Box controller emulator. Windows sees it like it was a X-Box controller.
