also X-Plane was a diva, she needed too much space (with all that Orho)
Iām weak. Itās downloading. haha.

Did you $1 it? I hope the install gods smile on you. Iāve never had an issue but percentage of people have had nightmares.
nah I just bought it. I was going to get it eventually anyway. Just need to get myself a new drive for its permanent home 
dl is done.

Can I say that I find the G1000 IN ALL THE AIRCRAFT a tad boring? Gimme interesting looking gauges and funky original looking cockpits. Iāve noticed that I mostly fly the few GA aircraft that do not have the G1000 installed.
I find the aircraft selection quite meh with the default edition.

I enjoy the bushflights that are in MSFS, itās a fun way to explore the country side.
The leg times make no sense though, and well, I am in a plane that cruises at 100km/h happily with 140km/h being maximum cruise. A nice taildragging STOL plane. The leg times are based on flying at 182km/hā¦ Not sure how that passed the sanity check of whomever implemented this.
I also think the same, but i understand their win-win decision, main stream people prefer it, because think that is more cool and easy and for devs after create the g1000, create another aircraft the instruments part is more fast because is a copy and paste.
For me is very sad that some nice birds there like were chosen the g1000 version.
Iād be more happy with all the G1000 planes if the G1000 was at least well implemented, which it isnāt.
I hope they improve it (a lot) soon.

The bush flights also take me longer than the āplannedā time. But not as much as your experience. I had to push the throttle pretty open and keep the speed into the yellow stripe in a savage cub. Then itās quite close.
BTW, can MFS accelerate time, like in XP 11? I didnāt find a command for that.
I think the command is called āsimulation rateā.

Apparently it should work like in previous FS from MS - press R and then =/- (next to backspace key), but it doesnāt work for me for some reason?

Last night I flew in various places around the world, a small strip in Wales with the X cub, a few stop and gos with the icon in hawaii, the sr22 around Seattle and the DA62 in South New Zealand.
A couple of the awesome takeways from those were the sound of the birds and wildlife when I set down in a field near a farm in the middle of nowhere in New Zealand. Also, the low lying haze and the setting sun in Wales. I set Seattle to winter with snow and the icing on the aircraft was fantastic! The environment is awesome in this sim and it is such a great platform for future complex addons.
Another thing I noticed was that on the map screen when setting up the flight you can display winds at ground level, low and high and also precipitation! You can also show the places of interest and wildlife.

Wondering if they disable that if youāre flying with other players/live traffic. Otherwise youād see players flying at warp factor 10
I thought of that too, tried that without live traffic - still didnāt worked. The slew function (press Y then numpad arrows to move around at 7500 KTS and F4 to go to space) still works fine though.
Tried atmospheric reentry with a Cessna - lots of fun
It is a quantum leap forward in Flight Sim Visuals. Also plays nice with computer.
It wasnāt working for me. I simply assigned keys to increase/decrease sim rate and thatās been working fine.

Gripes (Iāll skip the UI and FM stuff thatās already been discussed):
- Over reliance on glass cockpits in the default plane set. Also most of those seem to have only partially working implementations.
- Missing / partially working nav aides. It seems as though a lot of NDBās and VORās are borked in some form or fashion (or possibly the navigation instruments both glass and steam are)
- Lack of an accessible in flight āworld mapā like in FSX. I imagine with the G100 I can probably get all the airport details I want if it was fully implemented, but currently there is no way to figure out which runways are ILS, their freqās etc. I didnāt expect to need to go buy sectional charts for MSFS 2020.
I will say itās a beautiful sim, and having worldwide ortho is amazing. If they can fix some of the outstanding issues, they will have a genre defining product on their hands.
The problem I have is that thereās no indication of what the sim rate is. I have to remember how many clicks up I gave it in order to come back to 1:1, otherwise I wind up flying around in slow motion. Without a visual indicator itās very difficult to determine when youāre back at normal speed. Anybody else have an insight on how I can figure that out?
