    sounds like a pain, we had fiber installed, easy job they said, fitted a box inside the house, all the needed was to run the fiber through the old pipework, not a chance, we had a porch built a few years back and the builders squashed the pipe, came back a week later and had to reroute the cable, then told me that as we live in a townhouse had they known the modem could've been installed on the first floor to give us better wifi on the top floor, nightmare sometimes how the left and right hands fail to communicate, and worse still because that's their field of expertise!!! allegedly..

    AT&T sent out notices about upgrading to fiber that my area was available, but not so.  And when the modem was activated the tech had to wait 45 minutes for the updates to load which he said usually does after the installation. He had to stick around until that was finished before transferring my old account to the new account.

  2. I might add it was supposed to be a one-hour job turned into 4 hours.  The tech looked a the pole and said there is no box and fiber wire. It was a block away on another pole. Had to wait for another tech for 45 minutes to help string fiber from that pole to the one in my backyard.  This installation was a free service.

    I remember when I first started flightsim back in the fsx days I was getting 8mb download and that was up and down like a fiddlers elbow and on and off as well.

    So we have certainly moved on here in Emmsie Palace.

    Cheers

    I was at 1 Mb and if I wanted 50 Mb I needed two modems and double copper wire from the pole at $50 which AT&T doesn't offer any longer. Now at 370+ Mb. A whole new world of speed! 😃  They just strung the wires yesterday on the poles so I can get the service to my house.

  4. LM apparently made some changes to the modeling of aircraft and wondering how this affects older models.

     

    This is from iFly...

     

    Hi iFlyers,

    In light of the recent announcement made by Lockheed Martin’s Prepar3D team with regards to the upcoming version 6 we have been receiving questions about our NG & MAX Advanced Series product ranges’ compatibility with this new simulator.

    No, the NG/MAX is not compatible with Prepar3D v6.

    It requires a rework of the model, textures, effects, gauge displays, PBR and more.

    We are currently in development with the MAX for MSFS 2020, as you are aware, that is our main focus now.

    We plan to make the NG/MAX compatible with v6 but MSFS 2020 takes precedence.

    We cannot provide a timeline for the P3D v6 compatibility or if this would be a paid upgrade at this time.

    Happy iFlying!

  5. Will Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 be a completely standalone sequel, or will it also be offered as a paid update for existing players? 

    Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 is a standalone simulator and the next-generation sequel to Microsoft Flight Simulator that launched in 2020. Current aircraft and airports that are in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020), as well as virtually all Marketplace add-ons, will be supported in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024.

    What kind of support can Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020) players expect to see once Flight Simulator 2024 has been released? 

    We will continue to deliver our Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020) Roadmap which has content ranging from Aircraft and Avionics Updates, Sim Updates, City and World Updates, and also the free Dune DLC. We will continue to support Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020) post the Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 launch.

    Will all purchases users have made from the Marketplace be transferrable to the new simulator?

    With very few exceptions, virtually all add-ons that work in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020) today will function in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024. Add-ons that were purchased from the in-simulator Marketplace will not need to be re-purchased in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024.
