We’re inching closer to releasing our first iteration of FlyAway Media, a new tool/addon for MSFS that enables immersive audio experiences wherever you may be flying. We’re starting with the good old radio, but have a ton of additional features on the roadmap for 2021. With our current implementation, you can spawn anywhere in the world, and immediately get access to local music and talk radio stations. On a long haul, or a local sightseeing / bush trip? Take FlyAway Music with you and listen to some local tunes! Here’s a screenshot in the France region.
We’re looking for alpha / beta testers that are interested in giving the app a try and providing feedback. If you’re interested in giving your feedback, please reach out via DM. I will add you to our beta tester list, and will follow up with installation instructions when the time comes.
Hi everyone! For folks that sent me a DM, I will follow up with you soon with instructions on our Discord community & where/how to install. Looking forward to getting everyone onboarded and receiving your feedback!
If you’ve posted in this thread but did not send me a DM, I will assume you’re just following the development, which is great! Once we’re ready to release to the broader community, you’ll be among the first to know!
@Neo4316, an in-game panel was our initial intent, however, there are some limitations in the sim platform that prevent us from injecting audio streams. For now, it’ll be a standalone app that you can “always-on-top” and change transparency. As the sim matures, and if we get the ability to insert audio streams into the game, we’ll be sure to re-visit.
It’s not tested in VR yet. That said, it works as a regular window in windows. You would treat that as you would anything else, ala LittleNavMap or Navigraph.
