Piaggio P.180 Avanti II by FlightFX

Nothing here either after reboot.

Also here after reboot

Visible Co-Pilot & Passengers?

A little bummed there is no state saving of any kind. How about flight model? Anyone comment on this? I am on the fence… I enjoy the Blacksquare TBM and its complexities.

Two flights in, the flight model is excellent. Starting another one now.

Just as a reminder FlightFX has a lively and well-supported Discord if you’d like to join there. We also have a Support Channel if anyone needs help. Per the rules, we can’t perform Tech Support here on the MS Official Forums. Happy to answer small questions here, but anything intricate or customer-facing, we’ll take over on the Discord. Thanks!

With all these positive reports I’m tempted to buy this on my FS2020 Marketplace and play with it in FS2024 (assuming I can find it in my Library.)

I’m still a bit put off by the ā€œFree upgrade untial May 20thā€ thing.
But it seems like this is a pretty awesome addon, and might be worth the risk that I’ll have to pay a (hopefully small) fee.

I have no real problem with devs charging for upgrading their models to FS2024 versions. In fact, I’d actually feel better if they’d simply said, ā€œWe’re going to charge a reasonable fee for the FS2024 version.ā€

But of course saying it ā€˜might’ be free will help drive sales.

Flying in 2020, not yet in 24.



No doubt: plane of the year !

It really shouldn`t be difficult to understand that it is a free upgrade to the native 2024 version if you buy it in FS2020.

They have mentioned a free upgrade the first 6 months from the moment it`s released in the FS2024 market place.
You should have plenty of time, and no reason to worry at all.

A bit early to say plane of the year don`t you think??
Maybe you meant to say ā€œplane of the year so farā€?

It just feels so alive! Whole different thing, especially on approach and landings.
And I never had a so smooth first flight experience with an new addon like with the Avanti. Everything is working, no stutters, not even one single bug.
And it’s my favorite plane in real life so:
Conclusion, I’m really happy with it !

Very confident statement given that 90% of the year are still ahead of us.

It’ll be hard to follow-up, but that’s what you do to move the marker forward. We still have a whole bunch of folks waiting for our C750/Citation X, the CL35 and we recently announced the ERJ. But we’re in post-launch TLC for the P180, catch our breath and move on. Our devs are literally chained to their workstations. :slightly_smiling_face:

Nice to see that you are pleased with the addon, but that didn`t really answer my question. :wink:

Make the circuit breakers and state saving work and I’d have to kind of agree with you. Nice plane so far(in 2020) though.

I’m with you there :wink:

Perhaps you could review the post I made earlier in this thread on this subject?
FlightFX has clearly stated that they may charge an upgrade fee after May 20th.

State saving is a big miss. Should be in any high quality add on now in my opinion. Not really any reason not to, and adds a ton of immersion.
