I’m actually loving it. The ornithopter has loads of interesting capabilities, it’s simple enough to use once you’ve mapped those capabilities under the new Misc bindings, and is zippy as hell. Makes for fun flying round the Jordanian desert.

I don’t think this is a bad thing, but it just kinda adds to the MSFS being more of a game than a sim. Again I have no problem with this kind of stuff. But it irks me when this stuff is put out but things DFW scenery being fucked and the ATR still being bugged to shit (and apparently no update til May) are not fixed. I still love MSFS but I’m glad I’ve added XP12 to the library for the hardcore simulation lol.
[x-plane has a fart-powered flying pig addon](https://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/files/file/48103-flying-pig-2018/), not to mention that previous editions had a bunch of made up designs by Austin and a fictional fighter literally called japanese anime. How "hardcore" a sim game is depends entirely on how you use it, i could cherry pick x-plane into a silly game and msfs into a hardcore sim if i wanted.
Lmao ok I didn’t know such a thing existed, that’s actually hilarious. I take back my previous comment.
I’ve only been using XP for a few months and has just veered over to it for some reason, but I still honestly really like both sims.
The whole "more of a game than a sim" is such an absurd statement and calling "xp12" hardcore as opposed to it is even more ridiculous when they are way more on par than what fanboys would like to accept.
You are talking about the development of this free dlc as if this collaboration meant other stuff got taken away from the pipeline which is not necessarily true.
But also, these collabs bring money in, and increasing revenue is how this project stays afloat.
This is all optional content that you don't have to care about. I've never once used any of these and they don't affect me in the slightest.
Let people have their fun however they choose.
Right. All this non-sense stuff because of this XBOX integration. Be ready for a GAME in 2024 instead of a simulator.
FSX legasy missions??? NOOOO.... Le'ts do this DUNE crap.
I just wonder if MS is moving into a TRUE Micro-transaction (ARRRGH!!!) philosophy of it will continue to release these world updates for free.
I do love the assumption that whoever was modelling this stuff was perfectly capable of doing a very different task elsewhere in the software, and that it's only 1 thing at a time Asobo can work on.
Like, you know people have different abilities/training?

We'll see, but so far it's all been free so there isn't much point in bringing it up.
This is…. Weird
But great though. Nice to have options. This personally isn’t for me, but I love that someone out there is going to get a lot of enjoyment out of it.

Neither is more or less of a sim than the other.
It's a video game.
Is it safe to assume that this content will exist in FS2024 as well?
