Making my way along Chile heading to Ushuaia, while testing aircraft in 2024. Both of these looked and flew great.

Grumman JRF-6B Duck (Big Radials - Direct). Minor issues: No Pilot, No Cold Start, GPS display not scaled to fit screen.






Latecoere 631 (Blue Mesh - MSMP) Minor issue: No Pilot. As far as I can tell, if this one had a pilot it would be in the 100% 2024 compatible list.
This is actually one of my favorite MSFS aircraft to fly.

Brilliant shots Forest! I for one LOVE the way these flying boats "sit" in the water! Are the water spray and wake effects any better than in 2020?

South thru Patagonia and some more 2020 aircraft testing.

I've made the flight over this area many times in earlier MSFS versions. I've never seen it look as good as it does in 2024.




Lockheed Electra (AH-Simmarket). Another w/no pilot. Looks and flies just fine. This Jankees repaint looked great.




Ercoupe 415C (BRSim Designs-Simmarket). Flies good, as squirrely as ever. Own EFB non-functional. No pilot. It did take the one texture I have and the texture mod to tone down the gloss on the default paints.


Notes: Two others tested but no screenshots.
-Curtiss P-40F (inibuilds-Simmarket). No pilot but flies and looks great. Its own EFB all works but is very dark.

-Lockheed L-049/L1049 Constellation (RedWing-Simmarket) No pilot or copilot but does load the flight engineer and radio operator. Default textures look very odd. No mipmaps and either too shiny or too flat. Default autopilot is partially functional. Looks like most everything works like it should but will take a few more flights to look at all the details on this one.

The new MSFS2024 Gauge Glass Effect (the Got Friends Elvira Optica is one of the very few default FS24 models that has it applied currently. Pity ! ) would give this already wonderful looking VC an enormous boost !

Of course the F-86 is only a straight port from '2020, so there has been nothing done to it for '2024 but just me bringing it into the new sim. The gauge texture effect in the '2024 Got Friends Optica might look appealing from afar, but when you zoom in you'll notice that the static reflection that Got Friends added isn't that of the Optica but of an entirely different aircraft. Speaking of reflections, I've noticed that mirror reflections can be made to be very detailed now, as can be seen in the mirrors of the Carenado Waco YMF. It makes me hope that developers bringing their aircraft into '2024 will take advantage of that ability.

Some good gauge reflections here, I think, on the '2024 Cessna Titan:

Sure ! Thought it wouldn't hurt to hint at it... ;-)

Yes, absolutely, but it's the option to include it in a FS24 VC and that it finally can be seen without having to sit on the floor which was mandatory in FS2020 ;-) I really hope many devs will include it in their FS24 upgraded models.

And thanks for the Titan screeny, John ! Gives an extra realistic touch to the VC, doesn't it. Love it ! :cool:

Haven't managed to take a look at the obviously wonderful looking Waco YMF. Soooooo much to explore ! Thanks for the tip ! ;-)
