MSFS - Add-ons and Releases thread

I have to agree. I’m going to fold and buy all those upcoming releases.

But I suspect that the DC-6 is going to be king of the heap for awhile in regards to realism.

If you really like to “Nerd Out” on a plane, then the DC-6 is going to be tough to beat.

Another very nice freeware aircraft… The Heinkel He 162 Salamander.

Yes, that’s what I read everywhere. To be honest, I think I will end-up buying the DC-6 at some point. My only worry is that if it really is so good, I will have a hard time to enjoy the other less deep / developed vintage aircraft :slight_smile:

…and I have seen on some other forum that their Chippy is in the pipeline too :+1:

Its finally out:

This aircraft was released in early access stage, but imho i think in a very finished status, the further features are very cool but not showstopper being not yet available in this start/current version.

Please, tell me how it is.

Because I know that I’m going to buy it…I just like to pretend that I’m discerning!

A beta release of the AIG AI Manager and Traffic things. They were popular on P3D, and aim to do something similar - download flight plans, inject AI traffic with proper liveries etc.

Had a quick peek. A byzantine horror show of a UI to get through to set it up, but it’s free so it seems churlish to moan. If I get it to work (it needs an AVSIM forum login, so I’m practicing being angry about young people and their flippant attitudes and general lack of respect for their seniors, plus how about you get a hair cut and perhaps iron a shirt young man? etc) then I’ll report back.

It looks pretty good indeed. Was watching this video today.

Don’t you have to give a thumbprint, passport scan, and stick your thumb and drop blood on your monitor to be a member over there now?

Actually, I needed a AVSIM library card (not forum), and I just used your name and address for verification, so look out for a rolled parchment you’ll have to X when it arrives by horse before Hogsmead Day. :wink: (I’m kidding, it looks like I just needed to reactivate my old accounts).

I’ve OCI’d (One Click Installed, although it took about 198 clicks so far) and put these in, so just about to see if it works:

EDIT: Huh, well look at that - it seems to work, they are all in the right gates etc.

(fake weather, it’s ground fog at CYVR at the moment, so I needed to be able to see).

You’ve been there so often you should be able to taxi around with your eyes closed by now! And Vegas!

War story. Or pro tip…whatever the case. But personally, I ALWAYS have the taxiway chart/diagram open and on my lap (or on the panel if it has something like SafeTaxi installed) prior to keying up to ground control. Even at my home airport where I know just about every route to anywhere. It is a pet peeve of mine when the NFP keys up to call ground and doesn’t have the diagram up. Inevitably, they have no idea where we are going and we sound like sketchy newbs.

This VR session was way too much fun…!

The hits keep on coming, JustFlight’s 146 Pro - yum.

So many analog dials :heart_eyes:

I used to love the Whisperjet, so looking like another worthy addition to the library.

Not sure if I could cheat on DCS, but this looks quite nice.
