Yeah I want it to be a good upgrade because the aircraft is cool. But I will wait and see.
Out of curiosity I was looking at the boomerang and noticed this one sitting in the store for freeā¦ Grabbed it, and will take it out on a flight this evening.

Pleased to have this free upgrade.
Less pleased to be left guesssing as to when the other three (the An-2, the Latecoere and the ATR) will show up.
Also, if this is Microsoftās idea of what consistency in spelling is like, I shudder to think about the state of their code:

This is so typical MS/Asobo..
I like the attention that the AV Edition planes get at lastā¦butā¦
Why is the single engined Fokker the only one with brakes? And why are there 2 oil temperature gauges with exactly the same readings in the cockpit? Where is the Southern Cross livery for the Repro plane?
I meanā¦sure, its free and I am grateful (I really am!), but a little more attention to detail would be appreciated.
I donāt think the non replicas are supposed to have brakes, if you fly the replica version you get brakes and handbrake.

Iām excited to try these out!! Last I checked, the 2020 versions were unflyable if i remember right
Yep, thought soā¦but why does the single engined Fokker has brakes then?

Iām having fun with this new update! I prefer the replica versions but am glad to have both. I wonder how pilots like Amelia Earhart and especially Richard Byrd stayed warm in open cockpits. Imagine an open cockpit in Antarctica!!
I hope we get this sort of update for other broken 2020 planes like the Antonov-An 2 and the Skyvan. Even for planes that are already pretty good, the 2024 treatment would be great! (Thinking of Ford Trimotor, Dornier Wal, Junkers tri-motor, etc)
One problem I noticedā¦. I canāt take off in the ski Josephine Ford variant. I tried it in Antarctica but it wonāt budge. Itās a shame because the interior is unique and looks great
Edit: the interior actually isnāt unique, I didnāt realize there are three variants for interiors: the F.VIIa, F.VIIb, and the Replica. Still, does anyone else have problems taking off with the skis?

I noticed the carb heat is very high in the replica version. I could not get the carb heat into the green, and I had to drop the throttle and RPM way down to get it below the red line. This seems odd as those old radial engines seem to be fine running at full throttle. I donāt think thereās any damage modeling.
I did manage to take off, but it wasnāt easy, basically floor the throttles and push forward on the yoke/stick and she slowly start gathering speed. Donāt try on tarmac as that wonāt work.

Are there release notes available to know what was done?
On 2020 the F7 also got updated 
but why was the KLM livery removed ? 
So it has to happen on a runway? Thanks for the tip Iām going to give it a go today
What airport is that? And any tips for taking off with the skis?
