Never made it to see the terminal in New York but TWA was my go to airlines until they folded in 2001.

That terminal was built at a time when America was the future. Just rewatched 2001 last night. Stylistically it still holds up.

I picked up the FlightSim Studio Tecnam P2006T last night. It’s very nicely done with some nice features such as a proper pre-flight walk around, persistent state (per livery), along with chocks covers and tie-downs. It isn’t the fastest airplane, but quite nice for puttering around. It’s a G1000 panel, which is either a positive or negative thing depending on your viewpoint. At $35, a little pricey for what at first glance looks like yet another small GA plane, but I think it is probably good value if you have any interest in adding a modern, small light twin to your hangar.

I wouldn’t turn one down were it offered to me IRL!

Don’t worry about the deleted posts - just me ranting on something that gets right up my left nostril 
Would it be any better if it went left up your right nostril?
This is probably why I shouldn’t be having a pint before I’ve had lunch.

Something different, and a lot more fun than I thought it would be… the Got Friends Astro ONE…
For $10 you can’t go wrong. The price is going to be raised to $12.99 after a short introductory period. It comes with some neat features, including a race course scenery, which is fun. In VR it is a blast.

In addition to the oceans/Antarctica world update, the ATR is available on the Marketplace. Looks like you get the ATR 42 and 72 as a bundle for just $12.99 (at some point they will bump that up to $19.99). I don’t have a burning need for the ATR but at that price I will have to get it.

The 33% discount is on everything on the Market Place store [that they publish] and is a permanent discount to those who own the Premium, Deluxe, Deluxe Premium, ‘Deluxe Premium Deluxe’ and ‘Premium Super Deluxe’ Editions of the sim originally. Note: Owners of the ‘Deluxe Premium Premium’ get no discount, as screw those guys! 
Info on that here (and yes if you upgrade from the standard one you get the discount too):
So far the moaning about the ATR is powering a city the size of Orlando, harnessing the rage of free and cheap stuff like no other community can manage.

as I read it, it is rather [only] on
the purchase[s] of all first-party planes from the Marketplace
so I guess third-party planes are excluded from this discount. pls correct me if I am reading it wrong.

Exactly! They should be moaning about not getting a Dash8 instead!

AVAILABLE TODAY!
Microsoft Flight Simulator introduces a two-plane bundle as the first release in the Expert Series, a brand-new series of highly authentic and accurate aircraft. This bundle includes the ATR 42-600 and ATR 72-600, both masterpieces of modern aviation technology.
The 42-600 is a twin-engine commuter airliner that seats up to 50 passengers. Distinctive in appearance with elegant lines and curves, it boasts thoroughbred performance in the air and can operate out of a wide variety of airfields.
The 72-600 is a refined version of the ATR 72. The airframe boasts improved cabin design and an advanced multi-panel glass cockpit to optimize pilot efficiency. The ATR 72-600 is a high-wing, twin-turboprop, regional airliner that allows aviators to sharpen their skills as they cruise the airways around the globe.
The ATR 42-600 | ATR 72-600 bundle is available now in the Microsoft Flight Simulator in-game marketplace for $19.99. The sky is calling!

So when it rains, it pours! No version of KPHL for years, and now, suddenly three of them arriving… This one is available from Orbx or Simmarket.

A stretch. More accurate: “Fine examples of mid-‘80s European Flight Deck logic which was somewhat ahead of the dominant (read: Boeing) philosophy of the period.”

Who are the other PHL makers?
I bought the ATRs, but haven’t flown them yet. I don’t usually like glass cockpits, but made an exception as they are good for Neofly stuff, plus I used to work on them in RL. Not these ones - we had the 42 mostly, though the 72 may have been there before I left. Our usual planes were the ATR, Dash-8, SAAB 340 (maybe 2000 as well - Swissair iirc), Fokker 50 and BAe146. Plus we had one Embraer Bandeirante. I’ll never forget that damn thing, cos I did ground power and the socket for that is on the nacelle just behind the prop! I had nightmares about that thing!
