Thank you as always for your feedback and ideas and to the nice people helping me with some tests.
I used it for my Atlantic crossing. It works pretty well, but doesn’t support third party aircraft yet. I just picked a similar performing one and then tweaked the performance numbers in the flight plan I was making.
Nice to see that the “Ground Effect” bug is in progress. That means it (I think) is an acknowledged problem. Fixing this is a must for the helicopter career mode.
For those holding out until the game meets a minimum standard of “good”; first: well played! Second, in my opinion, it’s there now. At least in its current beta edition. MS/Asobo have fixed many of the issues that made it compare unfavorably to MSFS2020. I never fully agreed that things were quite that bad. Certainly now though, the sim works well, looks amazing and the fun moments outweigh the frustrating ones.
