I much preferred the Patagonia one, but I love mountains and glaciers and such. I found the desert/brush scenery of much of the California one a bit samey after a while, not to mention the number of times I couldn’t even see the landing strip. Patagonia was much more straightforward on that front (having a GPS helped of course).

Yeah, there’s undoubtedly a bit of scenery fatigue there for me, as I’ve spent the last month down there. I also like the points of interest/text descriptions of places that I can look up on Wikipedia, so that’s largely what is lacking for me. I realise that’s a pretty individual taste though.

I was thinking the next purchase should be a DA-62 in Europe so that we could partake in seeing the sights there. I also am -slowly- moving the first TBM towards NYC (currently in Chicago) so that if anyone wants to see NYC, DC, etc, it would be there as well. Still leaves out a ton of the US though.

2710

My DA62 is based out of London City at the moment, and I’ll probably be rebasing it in Germany after a while and adding it to the group.

2711

Well damn … maybe one in Asia somewhere then?

2712

I was originally planning on Japan, but there seems to be a real shortage of green assignments in Asia. Unless we get an FBO up and running ourselves, I don’t see it as being particularly economically viable.

I just missed out on a Bonanza in Vietnam a few weeks ago, was short of the cash. I didn’t look at any other airports around, but the airport it was based at had a lot of jobs. You could buy something out there and find a very small network, I guess.

2714

Did you buy the London scenery pack that time? How is it? I see it’s on sale.

I did a bit of flying out of London City a couple of weeks ago but it was a bit depressing as my two years working there years ago were pretty poverty-stricken and the memories were coming back.

2715

I did. At this point it’s probably worth seeing how the UK World Update shakes out, but I’m glad I bought it. It really makes a world of difference to the immersion (especially around London City, though I didn’t buy the airport pack). I was particularly pleased to see they actually modelled my block of flats.

2716

Good point about the UK update! Cheers

Somebody on Reddit found Four Seasons Total Landscaping. :P

Garage door is open in pic though.

Is this from FS Economy?

Is it possible to talk to other people in the Sim? Or an ATC kinda thing if you have headphones/mic? Speaking of which, does the game have an option for voice recognition for ATC?

2720

This sim looks so good, I just can’t get over it!

2721

The Xbox app has chat doesn’t it? If not, Discord, or Steam, or whatever other chat client you want to use.

2722

No, but I think you can use the external add-on Pilot2ATC with it:

Oh schurem. Playing a civvie flight sim. You dirty little who-oar.

2724

Did anyone mention yet that the VR release date was announced? ‘VR’ is too short a search term…

It’s coming for all headsets as a part of Sim Update 2, due 22 December. They’re showing more info on the VR mode on the 17th. All the front end and menus can thankfully be operated in VR without removing the headset.

2725

For everybody and not just beta testers? If so, yippee! Hope I have mine by then.

2726

Yeah this is the public release, earlier that expected. And not G2 exclusive either!
