The local news, actually any news, I don't know about the USA but here in Oz they don't do news, its really either activist propoganda or misinformed comment. We don't have journaists any more just 'personalities' with opinions or barrows to push. Actually they don't make laugh now I think about it, rather makes me sad......😑

I found out about flow it isn't compatible and they are doing a new version for 2024 apparently, not sure what the issue is with web site access though.

Can't see anything regrading //42 and flow and MSFS 2024, and their web site isn't available (at the time I looked today -1400 EST Australia) - is this product likely to be available for 2024 - anyone know?

Thanks for the update, much appreciated. Is there anything in the way of updates from //42 and azurpoly, blackwing et al? Thanks, Brian

Concur, I will be definitely keeping 2020 as well as 2024 - seems like the 2024 client will be quite compact anyway. I did the same when 2020 arrived keeping P3D as a staple FS whilst 2020 matured. I am expecting 2024 to have it's issues but that isn't a criticism it's to be expected with such a roll out, that's reality.

Fixed so that's good, don't beat yourself up, you aren't the first and won't be the last to do this [myself included]. 🙂

In that case, Tromso Norway / somewhere south of NZ South Island. East and West - right round 😁.

I was in the merchant navy, does that count as living in a place?

I don't really have $ limits as such, I am really not buying many planes any more, partly because of 2024 and possible compatibility areas and also because you can't really learn and enjoy too many - just like real life. Many of the freeware offerings are as good or even better than some payware, also some paywrae is really expensive unless you are really going to use them in depth. So it's like buying a deluxe car but only going to local shops in it. I'm only rarely buying scenery and generally if it is an area I know or has something special that is of interest. Again the default is so good that you really have to have a good reason to buy. Other enhancements , just a what interested or adds to the FS, only occasional buying now and less with 2024 - who knows what will add value there?

Interesting stuff, obviously the majority of the client is now downloaded in real time (or near real time) including planes, POI's Mesh, Airports and textures, not just scenery etc. So a thin client, low disc space requirement but a fat internet / memory requirement. Hmm, I also noticed that in the career mode section, which is quite interesting, the presenter mentioned paying for certification - I wonder if this is real money or virtual money. They didn't mention how that worked.

We have one an use it quite a bit, essentially after all the glitter it is just a small oven (with a bit of a grill attached) so any recipe that you can cook in a big one works depending on which setting you select. YPYM & GYC

Brian S Melbourne Australia Moorabbin - YMMB / Tooradin - YTDN / Tyabb - YTDA ( I'm about 15 mins from 1st 45 from the second and 25 from the 3rd - that's driving of course, by air it's probably 5 mins / 20 mins / 15 mins assuming around 90 kts and I don't crash of course.

Bob Dylan, the times they are a changin.... Personally I'd prefer for all states to not change the clocks, or how about we al use GMT (UST) and just get used to getting up at 2200 .....

Yes, Thanks for the info John, so we all either just wait a while until 2024 stabilises and we know what the benefits are before moving across to it, and probably refrain from buying new planes at least for the time being on 2020 (except in the MSFS store). I understand that a lot of devs have only limited insight into what MS/Asobo are doing so it sounds like there is going to be a bit of pain in the transition to 2024.
