On a scale of 1-10 (with 10 being best), how do you rate your Overall Enjoyment of this aircraft?
This plane needs activities to be enjoyable to fly.
Also needs THROTTLE AXES!!! 6 of them!!
We can’t even assign left and right sides to a dual throttle because only 4 axes can be assigned… which is mind boggling after so many years. I just installed IL-2 Sturmovik 1946 for laughs the other day… we had 8 Axes available to assign back in 2001 when it first came out!!! 8 throttles, 8 mixtures, 8 props.
Not only that!!!
We had ability to control a multi engine with one or two physical axis or even by keyboard buttons because… drum rolls… IMAGINE THAT Asobo!! We could select what axes we want to control and once selected we could increase and decrease them by the “main generic axis”.. like we have in MSFS2020/2024… you know… “throttle (generic)”… “throttle 1”… “throttle 2”… 3… 4. When you select throttle 1 and 6 you can use them with the “Throttle axis” then you can de-select hem and select 4-5-6 and adjust them with same throttle axis to turn etc.
I know… mind blowing tech from 2000s
I’ve been enjoying some flights in this aircraft, and gave it high ratings, but would agree with @zaelu1702 that MSFS 2024 needs additional throttle axes for aircraft with more than four engines (there is a wishlist topic for this here).
I recommend perusing this thread, and there’s several others out there. People have shared maps of their original operational harbors and there is information about the plane out there so you can recreate the original operations, or create your own.
Has anyone noticed what was updated with this one? Unlike the Antonov, which has some substantial changes, I don’t notice any differences with the latecoere 631.
Part of that might be because the 2020 native latecoere actually worked before the update haha!
Why oh why did they not give us more Throttle bindings for this - Asobo - this has 6 ENGINES it needs to be able to bind 6 throttle levers.
What a lovely old lady to fly. Stable but a heavy feel in banking. Easy to trim up and a joy to do water landings if it was only not so annoying to have to continuously alter 2 throttles with the mouse all the time.
I suspect because this requires additional code work by Asobo, and until its done, no developer can add throttle bindings for engines #5 through #8 (for eight-engined aircraft like the Spruce Goose) in their aircraft’s cockpits.
The wishlist for this feature is not feedback-logged , so I’m not expecting this to occur anytime soon, and with only 18 votes, it may never be done.
That’s so remiss of them particularly since more than 2 aircraft in the sim have 6 or more engines.
This one, the AN 225, Spruce Goose, that massive bomber B 52, etc.
They of all people know which aircraft they have promoted heavily but don’t give us the functionality. It really shouldn’t be something we need to vote on, it should’ve been part of the sim as a basic requirement.
Especially when you already knew what multi-engine aircraft you had available when you decided to develop and release a successor to 2020.
It’s one thing when 2020 was developed and then the multi-engine aircraft released well into 2020’s lifespan, but to go into 2024 already knowing that you had included aircraft in the sim with more than 4 engines? What?!
But then again, this is the same developer who can’t seem to address the headphone simulation control binding being non-op…
