Fantastic update. Flow is just an incredible addon. //42 are basically giving us what Asobo should have given us from the start. I don't think I'd be able to go back to pre-flow days. Just to point out, Essentials will only allow you to add commands that already existing in the default sim. The Pro version is needed for adding the custom stuff (which is why Pro isn't available on Xbox). This is the reason Essentials doesn't receive big updates, because Essentials already has pretty much everything it can have.

Spot on my friend; great comments.

[@Jansmit60]

Flopro kan samenwerken met little nafmap hoe moet je dat instellen

[@simulatorgamersuzie]

Looks a fab addition to the sim. I'm doubtful Xbox will see update before MSFS 2024, but it's not always all about us 😂. I'm really glad PC players have more advantage with the Pro version.

[@Huddison]

I would love to see the whole lot come over to the Xbox platform.

[@acratone8300]

Flow Pro is NOT available in the MSFS marketplace (for shame!). Only Flo Essentials. When they put Pro in the marketplace then I will buy it.

[@Huddison]

Flow Pro will only ever be for PC (unless something in the Sim massively changes).

[@KahluaMike67]

Hey Huddison or anyone else I have a question that you may know the solution. I have flow installed and use it regularly. Whenever I use my Xbox controller and click in the Left stick to bring up the flow wheel my aircraft engines power drop like I decreased thrust. Do you know what could be causing that and a solution?

[@Huddison]

That sounds like a binding confliction - our Discord boggins will sort that out for you.

[@brunogt1982]

I wonder if this be compatible with Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024🤔

[@Huddison]

I really hope so, will be kind of lost without it now.

[@onegoodknock]

There has not been anything much added to Flow Essentials on Xbox since its release which has surprised me

[@Huddison]

It's Asobo who have to enable the updates for the Sim's Marketplace.

[@omgedson42]

Flow Essentials, is just the essentials.

[@freedom2ignite]

I had to turn mine off on Xbox S in SU 14. Looking for better settings for 15 as I cannot even get it to load a flight

[@Huddison]

That's not good at all :(

[@-TK-421]

I have owned the Pro version since it came out and have never installed or or used it.

[@Huddison]

You're missing out on a great utility.

[@JohnVanderbeck]

I looked at this thing when it first came out and it was basically unusable in VR due to some design decisions. Have they fixed that?

[@Huddison]

There have been updates addressing VR stability; might be worth another look.

[@jay-rus4437]

Ive got Flow Pro….but dont use it. Just found it a bit intrusive and immersion breaking. As far as flight data, I prefer to reference Navigraph on a remote pad during the flight.

[@Huddison]

Fair enough, it's not to everyone's tastes.

[@DeanArnold1066]

Flow on Xbox crashed my sim. I couldn’t figure it out what was causing it. I deleted lots of stuff including flow. Once flow was deleted it’s been fantastic on Xbox

[@Huddison]

Once the update hits the Marketplace, it might well be worth trying Flow again as it's footprint has apparently been reduced.

[@KevinMick]

Does it work in VR?

[@Huddison]

I've heard mixed results with Flow & VR. I must try this myself at some point.

[@cammy9r]

I use msfs predominately in VR. What Flow features would you use in VR? I thought about Flow but don't think I need anything it offers. I do use sky4sim as a sort of kneeboard but it is mostly for the moving detailed map.

[@Huddison]

@@cammy9r You can use it for quickly changing servers in flight, or weather etc.

[@KevinMick]

@@Huddison thank you.

[@OutCastDB]

Not quite sure why you would need this, as all this info is on your gauges. Sorta redundant. Not that it's bad, just takes away from you learning to use your gauges.

[@Huddison]

Fair points - I believe it's more for streaming.
