If I may 
 I am not trying to do a PC vs XBox sort of thing but ----

As an XBox using both S and X I’ve been only using the Marketplace. Most of your ‘objections’ are not really problems in the XBox systems.

I do have a 1 gigabyte d/l stream so max speed is never an issue with me. My speed issues have always been located in some other place on the net.

Navigate, install, and update are three different things on XBox. IMHO very easy to get to the item or items needed. On XBox Marketplace and Content Manager two separate places.

I do look forward to the day when WASM shows up.

Also not trying to “start something” here but honestly if you’ve never been able to experience the alternative ways on PC then you don’t really know what you are missing and how much more efficient and powerful it could be :wink:

As I said, the download speed is fine. Fast even (I also have 1gbit fibre down) — problems are what happens after that.

And one more thing - the lack of weapons on military stuff. And yeah I forgot to list the encryption problem but that isn’t really much concern to me. There are ways around it and I rarely want to modify handling of planes in the CFG files (but they recently unlocked that I think?). Liveries all work from .to I believe. Main thing for me is being able to disable and enable things without having to actually delete and re-download it all (just wasting precious write cycles on the SSD!) - compounded by the fact that the deleting and installing takes an unfathomably long time where the UI is unresponsive.

Well the fact that they finally revised the silly ban on weapons and ordinance for marketplace versions of aircraft is a sign that MS can see reason and we might see further improvements (like receipts that name the actual item purchased) at some future point.

They have?
Ah yes, receipts - that’s another one!

Sorry I missed this discussion

That’s nuts!

You seen the Brutus? Also a German creation.

OK 
 apparently no they have not. I had that wrong.

What has apparently happened is some of the devs have started offering free addons that enable the weapons on your marketplace purchases.

If your on XBox you are still out of luck sadly.

March is here so I need to update my list.
Time is plenty as March is the 2nd longest month in the year, only May is longer but we are not there yet.

I’ve written a few words about each plane in my previous rank so I’ll try to put a one-liner for each of my selections.

#1: Cessna Citation Longitude: Biz jet extraornarie.
#2: Antonov An-225: Dreams can’t be destroyed.
#3: FBW Airbus A320NX: Fenix who?
#4: Blacksquare The Analog King Air 350: A plane that flies like a plane.
#5: FlightFX Vision Jet: Really nice little jet.
#6: Flysimware C414: Your reliable twin.
#7: JustFlight BAE 146: Where in hell is my Avro?
#8: FS Reborn Sting S4: You can own a plane.
#9: Blacksquare Velocity XL: A Kit plane that is a lot of fun.
#10: Aerosoft CRJ Family: The regional jet that really works.

The An-2 will enter my list next month, it is a very special plane to me.

Updating my list for March (in no order):

  • Fenix A320
  • SWS Kodiak
  • FSW Cessna 414
  • DC Designs F-14
  • HPG H145
  • Black Square Analog King Air
  • SWS Van’s RV-14
  • Darkstar Experimental
  • B78X Heavy Division Mod
  • JustFlight WB-Sim 172SP (highly recommend the Boris Audio Works sound set)

The changes I made from February:

  • Removed Wilga (I find that one of the diagonal posts at the front cuts right in front of my line of sight and I hadn’t noticed it before because I was always looking around; I love the way it flies, but I find the sight issues now to be too irritating now that I am more focused on landings with it)
  • Removed HJ420 (it’s a fantastic plane and one that is very well modeled at a systems level; however, I think it’s overall too small looking when viewing it externally, and like the Wilga, I finally got fed up with the poor visibility out of the cockpit - although this one is worse than the Wilga)
  • Added DC Designs F-14 back in (so fun to fly, so quick to get around, and I love shutting off the engines and trying to find a field to land at)
  • Added Black Square Analog King Air (I am really glad that I asked on here about it before buying it, as everyone said it was worth it; it most definitely is, and I am using it for most of my flights; I like glass cockpits, but I find analog cockpits to be so much more engrossing, alive and so so much easier to read)

Ok so my top 10 because I did not get my car (because somehow when I bought it it went unavailable)

  1. Pacific Aerospace P750: doing a tour of New Zealand with it because I wanted to use a aircraft made in the country I’m flying in

  2. PMDG 737 700: Been most flown

  3. PMDG DC6b I fly it occasionally

  4. DCH 4 Caribou: It’s so much fun flying over stuff with the rear cargo doors open and camera in the right spot

  5. Aerosoft twin otter : go to exploration plane

  6. Aerosoft Crj 700 been flying this because my favorite crj to fly (CRJ 200) is not in the game yet

  7. Embraer 110 I keep flying this aircraft because it’s my best one

  8. Kodiak 100 floats: love this plane

  9. Asobo TBM with enhanced mod It’s awesome

  10. Asobo 787 10 i long haul the most with 787’s so I might long haul with a330’s when Aerosoft releases theres

If someone did a good let 410 NG the twin otter could be in trouble on my list :slight_smile:

Evening all, the modelling on the Spitfire has been improved to display prop strikes

Does anyone know why my GR9 HUD looks like this?


I bought it from the JF website.

It’s weird, but there’s just something about you that makes me think you like F-14’s

Wow, seeing the P750 at the top is quite surreal.

It’s honestly a really fun aircraft to fly because it’s like the 208 but with low wings

Yes, I have flown it but in the current state of FM, avionics and sound it wouldn’t top my list. Yet I really like reading different views I add a few points every time somebody mentions a plane like a good add-on or a fun one.

And that’s how I ended up inside a flying flea and now

I wouldn’t read too much into it — this is from a person that listed the Flying Toilet last month :rofl:

Fair enougfh it was 10th, but still :smiley:

Only joking - I think the 750 is pretty awesome too.

Hehehhe. That is a great little machine. So cute and good fun! Amazingly slow it can land.

Nice! Probably a better idea than adding a garden shed to a biplane :slight_smile:
