[@BobSmith-st2ms]

Hello Emi! From previous videos you were frustrated as I was in terms of the co-pilot blocking your view. You can remove the co-pilot in MSFS 2024. Here's how to do it: 1. From the main menu, click on your user name in the upper right of the display (to the left of the bell icon). 2. The Customize Identity screen appears. 3. Click on the Co-Pilot button. 4. Click on the far left square that shows no avatar. Hope this helps!!!! Thanks again for all your informative videos!!!

This flight simulator is so feature-rich that over time it will become a fantastic flight simulator

[@DirtyJobsGames]

@ ahahaha you're right buddy

[@Gentlemen364]

These are the most frustrating releases, when the game design is actually really good but it's held back by bugs and performance issues.

[@Avgeekzeus-i3j]

Agreed

[@joshuaspop8865]

I don’t know what to tell everyone who’s having problems, I have zero problems with this new simulator and deleted 2020. It’s been a week and bugs for many of us are a few and performance is much better than 2020, I don’t get the difference with people who are having problems. The Fenix along with BATC work great (the Fenix EFB has a bug but nothing dealbreaking). And whether you like it or not, the reason this game is in the cloud is because nobody is capable of having enough storage to load this thing. You would need a full commercial server to load the entire game. Microsoft would love to not have to pay for servers and bandwidth, but it’s not possible because of the size. It’s not an excuse, it’s the way it is. I have a 7900x, RTX 4080, 64GB of RAM and am having a blast. If you don’t have a powerful computer, lower the settings and it should be fine. The biggest difference for me was increasing RAM so I can run terrain pre-cache at ultra. Now everything is loaded before I can see it.

[@LuLeBe]

​@@waschbaerkaiseryeah exactly, since we all only see crap now in fs2020! Seriously why are you guys so pessimistic? They have so many places with photogrammetry now that I believe people will be surprised when they notice what the download size for even a relatively small area is. I wouldn't be surprised if the data for all of Germany is like 600gb.

[@davidperry7128]

Nice flight. I see the BelugaXL climbing overhead everyday, heading NNW to French and UK Airbus facilities. Wonderful sight.

[@casaamaril]

The First Officer could be a bit more active, what's the point of putting her in the right seat if it's just for show? I liked the voice with animations in the Aerosoft versions of the A320/321 series, there was an active flow between the pilot flying and the pilot not flying during the pre-takeoff and take-off checklist.

[@CaptainW10234]

It's great to see your expertese in different aircraft and the content is intresting as it uses your real-life pracitacility that makes you different to other channels. Can't wait for the a330 tutorial series so I can fly translantic!

After a rough start, this sim is already progressing nicely. Ive been working through career mode the past couple days. I didnt think I would even start in 2024 for several months. As the third party addon aircraft etc become compatible, it will be that much better. Seems to run much much smoother, and overall graphics are awesome.

[@ollifaff8698]

Hi Emanuel, thank you - as always - for taking so much time to produce these wonderful videos. I already learned a lot from your pilot‘s view, while I work on (real) EFBs from my aeronautical engineer’s perspective. Your practical insights are definately worth the membership to improve my Sim-procedure-skills.

[@tobimai4843]

I once stood under a BelugaXL, that thing IS BIG. Also that front door is comically large, it seems just too big to actually eixst lol. And the loading ramps are actually pretty company internal from what I know, so probably the reason they coudn't include them

[@pilot.sergio4]

GSX Pro is compatible with 2024. Save you the headache of what you had to do for the pushback. The only thing is the jetway that GSX provides doesn’t work at the so they need to be disabled. The installer will let you know about this and don’t automatically you select yes on disabling them.

[@DarkAndVelvetNights]

Asobo should model the Hamburg and Toulouse facitilies and make it possible to load from the factory buildings. Would be so cool!

[@subbe124]

Would be sick if we got the regular beluga aswell, as a payware addon. They have the A300 already

[@bujin1977]

I work in Deeside, Flintshire (Wales) and see the Beluga fly past regularly from the plant at Broughton. Going to have to do a Broughton to Hamburg or Toulouse flight sometime soon.

[@georgeseitanidis746]

I had the same issue with the auto thrust, I had to manually select 0.69. It’s definitely a bug, glad to see I wasn’t the only one!

[@nicholasosmond5974]

After you click apply load you can go to your second init page and just click the entry button next to your zfw/zfwcg and block and it will automatically put in the numbers without having to type it in. And then go to your efb and click sync and it will automatically fill in the weight.

[@A330Driver]

Haha, I hope you enjoyed it nonetheless 👍

[@marcschmidt2786]

When you are on an open stand without an Building in front of it, there is a huge cargo loader, that loads the diffrent types of cargo. I love the visuals with the raytracing shadows. It would be wonderful, when they add the effect from the sunshades. That sould be not to hard when raytracing is added.

[@joshuaspop8865]

If you are seeing textures loading as you’re flying, try setting your terrain pre-cache to ultra. It changed everything for me, now everything is loaded while I’m looking around, because the program is loading textures prior to me getting to the area. You do need a powerful CPU and at least 64GB of RAM though.

Very absorbing and instructive. Thanks.

[@deltak5457]

For other aircraft than the Airbus lineup and the Boeings I'd suggest to take a look at the Grumman HU16/G.111 as that one is also magnificent. Visually also the reworked Longitude is worth checking out, especially the exterior is splendid. You can open up basically all hatches even for potable water or engine oil doors. Unfortunately it also seems to have some bugs, especially when it comes down to lights.

Ended up getting my LCE but I'm thinking of just picking it up on Steam and selling off the LCE. Honestly not even sure about picking it up on Steam since I'm pretty disappointed with 2024 so far, lighting is definitely better, and flight model seems better, we got decent quality planes, but for more realism, I honestly wonder if I'm just better off investing in X-Plane 12.

[@phillipblackmore8420]

How have you access to the Beluga? A week since the launch and still very limited aircraft to try. Great video though. Thanks.

[@kaibilder]

I found a route around Nov. 24. 2024 to Tianjin and back via couple of stops (Toulouse, Bahrain, Kolkata, Hanoi, Tianjin, Kolkata, Bahrain, Toulouse)...wondering what it was doing

[@frylucas]

If it was the old A300 Beluga, then it's on a charter flight carrying oversize (but not overweight) load. Now that the A330s have fully replaced the older A300s in the production flights, Airbus offers the old A300 Belugas for charter service via the Beluga Transport program. Airbus Helicopters for example, is often using the older Beluga to deliver helicopters.

[@Ronald9540]

Out of curiosity, as you’re A330 type rated, would you be allowed to fly the Beluga, or will you need special/additional training to fly it?

[@AE4VJ]

Inibuilds has a profile

[@robertungemach8352]

Looks like the beluga should not be nosed up to a building when loaded from the front.

[@DanJD1255]

I am in love with FS2024! It has so much potential! The launch has been an absolute disaster but it is what it is… From FS98 then 2000, 2002, 2004 ACOF. I was part of the FSX Beta test team, looking back, when FSX launched we knew it wasn’t ready, we called it the bloated goat. FS2020 was a great comeback, FS2024 blows everything out of the water, granted, theres still a lot of bugs but I’m in awe of the Sim.

[@zk9058]

How do u hide the first officer?

[@alanharris2799]

8:51 this is one of my major bugbears with Asobo, they add things like this but don’t think about the user experience and deliver ‘just enough’, should really have a set of scenery to support the excellent loading animations provided by Inibuilds here. Same thing in 2020 when they integrated helicopters but no cold and dark on helipads and not a single take off or landing shown in the log book for helicopters.

[@Ic0n0gr4phy]

It’s a streaming server issue and not an actual missing texture issue. It usually shows up fine. In FS24 everything is streamed from content servers and there have been many issues like this since launch.

[@AviationFunny]

I think you need an eye test

[@elmar001]

After using the default A330 for quite some time now I tend to agree, the cockpit modelling is absolutely superb and far superior to the Fenix. Of course Fenix is a MSFS 2020 cockpit ported over and not using the full capabilities of MSFS2024 yet but its quite remarkable that some MSFS 2024 default aircraft are beating some of the best payware aircraft out there in the modelling department at least. I feel exterior modelling on the Fenix is slightly ahead though.

[@antoinedrillaud3357]

Nah bro the inibuild has literally NO wear and tear at all it looks like the plane is brand new but the a330 is like 20yrs old now it should be used and inibuild didn’t simulate that at all fenix blows inibuild in every way and especially the cockpit textures which are way more realistic in the fenix but again you can’t compare a freeware and a payware but the inibuild cockpit is not realistic at all 🤷‍♂️ and I really hope someone releases a texture pack for the inibuild planes

Hello Emanuel, In your last video, you had used D2 for takeoff and climb. How do you decide when to change the thrust mode to D1 CLB or normal CLB thrust? I know that the 737NG restores at 15000ft the derated climb thrust to normal climb thrust. If I am not wrong this altitude is called "washout" altitude. How is it with A330? Is there an altitude limit where you can not use D1CLB or D2CLB any longer? Can the pilots decide when to change the thrust modes? Thanks for answering.
