Outside of the new nav system built into the WorkingTitle CJ4, the GNS530 mod is the only GPS system that actually works right at the moment. It’s kind of nice to be able to pull out the actual real world GNS530A manual and see everything in the in-sim GNS work as it should.
A different approach (and my hope) would be that once the market really gets going, and the Sim itself is farther along the development path, aircraft included in the Deluxe and Premium packages will be “opened up” to proven modders like the crew at Working Title.
It’s probably just a hope (a dream?) of mine, but it sure would be nice.
Ok, so question for anyone. There’s a HUD panel in the Longitude, how do you turn it on?
You don’t. One of the key features of the Longitude is that HUD, and it doesn’t work.
Asobo seem to be the brought in team of scenery and weather coders, doing a great job,
they inherited the underperforming aircraft flight models, allllllllll the bugs in so many planes and a horrible outdated, slow, and bug ridden graphics engine from the dinosaur MS Flightsimulator 95 2004 X team(s) it seems, and Asobo prob left all of that side of the sim to these guys.
Landing visibility and scenery simulation, which is the most important part of the simulation, is great (Asobo),
all the bugs and graphics engine cra–p (FS2 does 10x the better job), no so much (no thanks Microsoft).
MS should just buy Aerofly FS2 Flight Simulator corporation and their coders (FS2 crazy fast but a tad arcady), and pretty soon we would have an actual good sim.
In that case I shall remain of my previously stated opinion, that the deluxe version is not worth double the standard.
One of the (should be) best airliners in the world is the 787 and it’s as basic as it gets currently. I wouldn’t waste your $$ unless you’re dying to have it.
