  2. 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. https://www.flightsimulator.com/microsoft-flight-simulator-2024-faq/

  4. The love of airplanes! My dad was stationed at Wright-Patterson AFB and lived on base next to the USAF Museum. Every school day I would walk by the XB-70, Strawberry Bitch B-24, B-25, B-29, etc. out of the base gate.

  7. All cleaned up and tested on my favorite vintage B-25... Go DUCKS! Forgotten how cool this bird is! Lives on in P3Dv3.
  8. I have 3... one Microsoft Force Feedback Pro and two Force Feedback 2. The Pro power connector broke so Microsoft sent 2 Feedback 2 free of charge. At that time sticks were being discontinued and Microsoft said to keep the extra.
  9. Once upon a time as it sits today stored for years. Microsoft Force Feedback 2 controller is the one I ever used. Last flight sim P3Dv3.
  10. Had a smartphone 5 years ago and the last time I used one. Although it's inactive the 911 feature will work if needed.
  11. Thanks guys! A little background on this bird. We were in contact with David on the Manfred/Team build C-47 when he was restoring OK GAL to flight status. Sadly that never happened. CQ Plane Spotting
  12. "OKLAHOMA GAL" parked at Orbx YBBN for restoration display.
  13. 100's of Hot Wheels and other miniature cars over 25 years.
  14. A stranger walking by wanted drink of water from the garden hose and I said wait minute let me get some bottle water. Gave her two bottles. She was polite but I had a feeling she living on the streets.
  15. My father was into U-control aircraft in the '60's so I was too! My first little Piper flown in the '60's when Dad's friend gave me this U-control model. Then came the Stuka in the ''60 and 70's. One each in the those periods. The Cosmic Wind by Cox... indestructible! Guillow's P-40 rubber band model I converted to U-control and skinned the fuselage with balsa sheets running a Cox Pee Wee .020 engine.
  16. 1965 my dad gave me a Sears Roebuck & Company, J. C. Higgins Model 103.181 22 cal. single shot bolt action rifle that I still have today. Much better than a BB gun I might add. Those were the days... best Christmas ever!
  17. I was the last person to inspect the ejection seats on a F-4E that crashed on takeoff and was award by the base commander for saving the crews life. I have the Martin Baker ID plate of one of the seats ejected from that aircraft.
  18. Well some can read the good book... or (Boo), sorry about Father John I might add.
  19. I stopped cold turkey with P3Dv3 and maybe look at for few minutes over the years since. I'm much happier now... cured!
  20. Aerobatics are the hardest to master, but choppers... the same but loads of fun once you get the hang of it. My favorite recording I did with the SA Lama flown in FSX (2011). SA 315B Lama
  21. WarBirdSim P-51 was my favorite Mustang, but the A2A P-40 is my all time favorite that is the only WWII fighter still resides in P3D!
  22. For me the best sim is the one Milton and Manfred used. They are both retired and so am I.
  23. My loved ones are there... final destination when the time comes!
  24. Did some work with all new paint, rivets, panels, and bumps for Milton's Howard few years ago. Howard 500 repaint
