    I was making some changes to ASSIST I think that one may have caused CTRL E from starting the engine completely. Engine starts then dies. I know small problem. I caused myself. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I tell my wife not to hit a button on the remote. Unless she knows what it does. :) I should listen to my own advice. Bill McCracken

    With LSZH and EKCH and many other large airports untouched, my question is WHY to release the 3rd iteration of LEBL for MSFS? On a side note - is it good comparing with LVFR version?

    Their support is non existent. I asked a bunch of question on their main forum as well as emailed to their official email but no replies. Their camera stopped working with FSS Embraer and there are compatibility issues with SU15. Does anyone have that experience as well or know any other way contacting them. Its ridiculous!!

  6. So when I check the forums and other flight sim websites every week, there is almost always new 3rd party add-on releases for MSFS. I am am referring to both freeware and paid add-ons. It was easy to keep track of the 3rd party add-ons in the first few months of MSFS because there weren't that many, but it's practically impossible to keep track of now. Even for ATC, there are several add-on options for MSFS, with two of the most followed developments, BeyondATC and SayIntentions.AI, exclusive for MSFS only at this point in time. Then you have all the plane add-ons, both freeware and payware, I definitely can't keep track of all of them. And for scenery add-ons, it's ev…

    Hi, my ATR72-600 flight was scheduled at 00:00UT, NZNV - NZAA. I set up the sim time to 23:30UT, took off and after almost two hours into the flight already on final approach the screen suddenly went all dark. After the initial shock of thinking that the sim froze, I realized that sim time changed on it's own and I was in the middle of the night. I believe time was set to 14:10 UT and that was near to what the local time was supposed to be. But I changed the time back so quickly that I cannot be sure - I was flying for Star Alliance VA and I did not want to lose the flight! 🙂 Has anyone experienced something like that? For the record, I had Volanta, LittleNavMap…

    Am I missing something on the coming Duke Piston version and not being able to see where oil levels are? The plane looks amazing and its a day one purchase, just finding it odd to model so much system rich features and not model the oil system of the plane to which the user can do oil and oil filter changes. Especially since they even mention on page 95 of the manual that the color of the oil reflects the oil temp.

  12. Stumbled across this the other day. Looks like a massive improvement for the sounds on this plane. I admit the airplane hasn't been updated as much as I would like. However it's still very enjoyable to fly and the dev claims an update is still in process.

  13. How is the current v2b2 release supposed to be handling loaded fuel between flights? Sometimes, I start a flight and the plane has 21,000 lbs of fuel loaded. If I reset all in the EFB, I get 6615 or something. Is it supposed to save fuel remaining in tanks between flights? If yes, does it save by livery? Where does it save this info?

  17. I just recently came across this post on the Xtreme Prototypes website! I loved this aircraft in P3D! There is nothing like two CJ610's screaming on departure! Can't wait! With the amazing Lear 35 from FSW this will complete my Lear "wish list" "Our classic Gates Learjet Model 25/28 business jet addons for Microsoft® Flight Simulator 2024 are currently in production and will be released later this year.

As can be read on their discord: Just a quick update from us that the Collector's Edition members have officially obtained access to the MSFS version of the aircraft. Let the 60 day timer begin!
