Diving back into the 2024 sim for some projects. As with 2020 it's a lot different than the FSX-P3 dee stuff. The dev mode does give you a lot of info but it's still. a PITA (not the animal rights group) and a lot of control has been taken out of the DEV hands. Some think it is better than 2020 with more data points. I have transferred a 2020 project start into 2024, maybe it's better. It's good flyer so far so I am hopeful. I have both sims ginned up, but haven't gone backwards, so maybe it's a keeper.

Hey Tom, happy to see that you are still into these sims. I do miss all the project you and I worked on together and appreciate all your great contributions to proper flying aircraft flight models.
Milton! Indeed that was in many ways a golden era of creation. I am currently doing flight dynamics for Blackbird of the 737-200 and Otter for 2024 and involved again with PMDG on their upcoming 747 series. For these new sims I finally got a new fast computer and a large widescreen monitor.
Best regards: Tom!

Above in the 2024 section I posted a shot of the Blackbird Corsair at Midway. This is a 2020 aircraft for which I did some flight dynamics upgrades. Trying it in 2024 unfortunately none of the instruments worked but it flew mostly well. However the engine was putting out maybe 600 hp and I could barely get it airborne. Not currently understanding what the issue is with the engine files but a sloppy fix added in increasing the power and thrust scalars and it is a hoot to fly. Instruments do help, but I have enough hours in this thing to mostly do OK.
I'll have to check out some other 2020 warbirds and see if they have the same issue. Possible it's some hidden default binding, found a few of those such as engine auto stop was a default switch on my throttle unit. Lower the gear and engines would quit. So far not in love with the bindings.

Sounds like a drag issue.
Where are all the gauge gurus that used to be helpful when we needed it back in the FSX days? Or maybe post that anomaly on FSDeveloper?
BTW, haven't seen PSP like in this pic since Vietnam in 1968!
I remember Jerry liked Midway for flight test as it was basically sea level with no surrounding terrain. The new update caused issues with the trim in the Corsair making it almost un flyable being far out of trim but reducing the trim effectiveness and nearly zeroing it out is a step forwards. The autopilot in the 737 is now working well, again. Moving target on shifting sands!
