If you’re on XBOX, you can’t it’s installed from outside MSFS ( pc only)

Thanks for the update

Yes I am on the series x

So I will stick to what I have got

Cessna 152 for ILS practice

Cessna 172 for autopilot practice

Good solution. I am on PC and I do the same as you do.

With Cessna 152 - I think you select airport runway you want to land at from the world map, and then tune the radio to the right frequency - then take off

The problem is for this - once the ILS frequency locks on - you have to watch the dial in the cockpit with the horizontal and vertical lines centralising I believe

I have been just flying the Cessna 152 without ILS and enjoying the view in exterior camera mode when flying - but if you use ILS on the Cessna 152 - you cant use the exterior camera mode a lot as you have to keep watching the dial centralising in cockpit view mode - once you are near the landing runway

Yes,this is the best part of landing ILS with C152!! Real challenge.With C172 is too easy.Isn’t it?

Turn off AP in the 172 and land using LOC line in the CDI and the Glide Slope Diamond in the Vertical Deviation bar. It’s actually a little harder than the combined display in the 152.

Agreed.I like that.

Anyone know why this download has been removed other than “was removed because it violates our community standards or terms of use?” I’d love to give it a try.

Hi,
You should be able to find it now on their Discord channel.
Look for :

Thanks. I had trouble logging into that; I guess I need another invite.

Link please.

Hi,
I don’t have a direct link.
But if you type:

WBSiim/JPLogistics 152

in the search bar of Discord, you should be able to find it.

Note: The WBSiim/JPLogistics 152 is a PC only MOD.

i.e. Unfortunately, there is no version (Free or Payware) of this Mod on the MS-Store for X-box users.

(Because there is no way “At the moment” for Developers to put Free Mods in the MS-Store)

I’d pay for it, were it in the marketplace for xbox.

There may also be a reluctance for a Dev to put their FREE product up on the MS-STORE (assuming that was possible), and then have to respond to a while new flood of “Tech Support issues” from a whole different set of users on a platform that is virtually impossible for a Dev to debug on.

Then again, if they put it up on the MS-Store as payware, but it was still Freeware for PC users, the poor Dev would surely get lynched .

I love this mod, that I only just discovered after being away from the sim for a while.

Get it from here: https://simdoc.eu/

I’ll be writing more about my experiences using it here: HyperTextHero: Best Cessna 152 for Microsoft Flight Simulator

GotFriends has recently done the same with their Legacy pack so I don’t think it’s that bad. $5 for most of their older freeware. I got it even though I am on PC because I enjoyed those aircraft so much and wanted to support the dev.

I think the issue here is Asobo/MSFS. They can’t take their 30% cut of the sale if the price is $0.00

Think I read something once they were “working on a way to allow freeware” into the marketplace but really how hard can it be given Asobo itself provides free products through the marketplace already.

Same argument could be why do XBOX players have to subscribe to XBOX Live for multiplayer where as PC Users don’t? It’s all the same infrastructure.

There may be a delay on new devs being allowed to sell through the Marketplace which is a different matter and would affect JBL/WBsim I guess. This is why the new XP11 from Flying Fries is only on flightsim.to at the moment I think.

I believe that almost ANY Dev “Could” get their product onto the MS-Marketplace quite quickly, even if they are not themselves an “Authorized” MS-Store seller, by going through one of the many “Sellers” who are already approved.. ie Just_Flight

That would certainly increase their sales, and potentially open up the X-Box market to them.

BUT

At a PRICE..

(a) Now both the seller AND MS are taking a cut, leaving even less for the original developer.
(b) The potential additional Tech Support demands could be overwhelming.

So its not an easy decision, and therefore each Dev needs to weight the Pros and Cons before making that leap onto the MS-Store.

Also appreciate, that Airports & Scenery are a lot less Problematical than planes for a purchaser to figure out how to use, and typically do not need complex/time consuming updating and re-education of the purchaser, and the resulting Tech Support after each SU !!

Of course, if he DEV is deaf to tech support issues, it not such an issue “For them” … at least till they try to launch a new product ..
