I think I boot up the simulator too sporadically to join a VA, I've read multiple VA's that require you to fly at least once a month. Plus it feels a bit limiting in a way? Not being in a VA allows you to fly where ATC is on Vatsim and wherever in the world you want.
I've seen a video about this plane by Tom Scott years ago. But I only recently learned this is an A310. Learned so by browsing the liveries of the IniBuilds A310 for MSFS, and there it was! It's a very cool variant for sure.
Had one go-around, but the landing was good for the weather I'd say. I was kinda surprised, the performance calculation showed me stopping at the end of the runway, but I stopped one holding point before the last one even! (G4 instead of G5)
Anyways Volanta showed it as a -335 fpm / 1.07G, so I'm happy

Falling into the sun is a bit time comsuming and finnicky. Try to keep your speed low when you approach the surface, and keep time warp to the lowest you can bear.
The surface is at around -30 km. It looks like this:
Descending further... Long trip. As you approach the core your speed will pick up rapidly. When you're at the core, you'll get slingshotted out of the core at a ludicrous speed, in my case 22248.0 km/s. Interstellar travel before it's implemented?Anyways quite satisfying flying out of the sun's core at a fraction of the speed of light. Can recommend!
Played a little this evening. Performance is a lot better than before. Especially noticeable when launching from the launchpad. Where it froze for a second before it just chugs along smoothly now!
In the most recent FAQ they did say that "virtually all add-ons that work in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020) today will function in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024". So all addons should hopefully still work. How that's gonna go with addons from third party stores, remains to be seen I guess. Would be a shame if they don't work, because that's where I got the majority of my addons.
But yeah, I'd be alot happier if the MSFS base game got lifted to this new version, and all the new content would be a paid DLC...
Is this added to the base game, or do you need to do some tricks to get this to work?

Well...She takes that load with a smile 😅
The oldest trick in the book of turning it on and off again doesn't just work in IT
If anyone has tested the Fenix A320 alongside it, would love to hear if that works as well
Probably yeah. Shame, hope they release it eventually
Can't wait for this one! Extra performance is very welcome. And the extra variants are definitely nice to have too!
Wow, this looks scary...
Is the full video of which the picture was taken available somewhere? I've tried looking for it but I can't find anything

They seem interesting. Aircraft accidents always make for engaging stories somehow, added them to my list! I'll see if I like em, thanks!
I think I listened to an episode of that one yeah. From what I remember they were explaining basic stuff, and I got annoyed listening by it hahah

Good to know that posting from Volanta servers works flawlessly! Great way to reduce storage on the lemmyfly servers I'd say

... (picture soon, it won't upload)
As far as I'm aware this is free to keep forever!

Is this the "Live, Laugh, Love" of planes?

Agree, seems tough for Asobo to be maintaining the same game basically twice.
