FS2020: FLOW - Pro Version VS Free - Is It Worth A Purchase?

[@RedRuffinsore]

One of the coolest things I've found too, is that there is a button (pro version) to toggle your head tracker. That is a REALLY nice feature.

[@yams900]

It’s great ! I went for the Pro version straight away :)

[@Yamanotefy]

Thanks for bringing this to my attention. The UI in MSFS is really something that can be improved. Given that a simulator is complex it is still a bit clunky to navigate through. Flow seems hence the name really promising.🛩️

[@Huddison]

It's a fantastic addition for sure.

[@Yamanotefy]

@@Huddison These dials have been around in some games (com rose in BF2 for instance) but strangely disappeared nearly entirely. I always found them very useful. Thank you again for showing and all your lovely videos!🎄🎁🤍

[@anbrod1]

Got it myself last week, nice/handy tool!

[@macbec3021]

Bought pro version, easy install and made my first flight. I was able to edit icon. Great app, very useful and handy. 👍👍👍

[@Huddison]

Nice 👍

[@Canadian76]

I bought it today I love it

[@mikecoffee100]

We are all keeping well despite the tons of snow here in Vancouver atm.

[@Huddison]

Stay warm Mike.

[@terranaudio6101]

The whole point of the video was to compare free vs. pro. So what do you do, go right to the pro and say I don't know if this is available in the free version, find out and tell us. That is why I am watching this video, there are plenty of videos that show the pro version features.

[@Huddison]

See my later videos on Flow

[@andrewbrown491]

Best addon for MSFS

[@Huddison]

It's certainly a massive contender!

[@flightlessowl787]

I guess this is only on pc and not xbox as this would help out fantastically on the console

[@mikecoffee100]

what a clever tool indeed

[@g4kfjve7kfj34]

hello do you no if this app can be popped out onto another screen having two monitors it would be nice to position it away from the main operating screen,, many thanks ,,

[@Huddison]

It sounds feasible, although it seems the cursor has to be over the main Sim screen. Perhaps somebody can confirm this.

[@michaelc3977]

To my surprise I heard another reviewer claim Flow Essential was available on Xbox. Is this too much to hope for, as unsurprisingly I can't find any reference to it on the sim on the chunky black box?

[@michaelc3977]

Apologies. I found the answer in another comment below. On console, we wait, with everything crossed.

[@TPHI17]

That look great, do you think that is something that might come to Xbox?

[@Huddison]

There's a hope it may find its way onto Xbox.

[@gotbordercollies]

Is it Xbox compatible?

[@Huddison]

Not currently.

[@danlance]

This is I believe planned, although I believe the free version will not be available... due to MS Marketplace (like why is that... Asobo claim to want to make Xbox and PC platform support as close to identical as possible... but don't make it easy for 3rd parties to make their free products available to xbox platform... I mean everyone know xbox != PC - but MS have put all this resource into making the sim work on the platform, and are continuing to spend considerable time and effort to make the platform support for developers more equal... and yet the lack of access to free content is one of the biggest differentiators between xbox and PC...) / end rant I understand their will be restrictions for the xbox platform (understandable - ability to run user scripts would be presumably a big no no on xbox) - so I'm waiting to see what the differences are (and @Huddison's comparative review ;) ) to see if this will be such a game changer for the xbox platform...

[@Huddison]

@@danlance Thanks for the additions.

[@RATTMAN]

My understanding is the essential will make its way to the market place for Xbox.

[@jfsnyder15]

Bought the Pro version, when my wheel comes up when I click on the icons nothing happens. Any ideas?

[@Huddison]

Eek, that's not good. I would uninstall/reinstall; or you can ask in the Parallel 42 Discord server: discord.gg/JSYPdSnXre

[@jfsnyder15]

@@Huddison I uninstalled and reinstalled and everything is fine Huddison, thanks for the advice

[@Huddison]

@@jfsnyder15 Great to hear.

[@get_outdoors]

Hoping this will get VR integration soon 👍

[@Huddison]

I haven't actually tested it myself, but apparently Parallel 42 have some kind of breakthrough with getting it working in VR.

[@thetwocats]

there is a free version you can try, im going to try it my self in vr to see what its like

[@Kreemerz]

Do you actually use this app? Or are you just showing it after 1 day of playing around with it? Seems like all you reviewers have posted videos about it at the same time.

[@Huddison]

No!

[@Kreemerz]

@@Huddison so are you still using it?

[@eamonnw]

what does it do, i cant watch this video

[@PeterR126]

I wonder how long we have to wait for the Xbox users. I don't think the Pro version will be useful for the Xbox. The Essentials will suffice.

[@Huddison]

Shouldn't be too much longer now. I believe Xbox'ers will be getting the Essentials version.

[@danceswithsheep3058]

So what sort of scripts can you write?

[@Huddison]

Something I'm aiming to yet discover & explore.

[@martygenska8117]

Looks nice, but I wish you stayed with the free version so everyone could see the differences

[@Huddison]

Yes I should've done really. The bespoke displays (via the wheel) that you get in the Pro version are not in the free version I noticed.

[@Old_B52H_Gunner]

This calls for a second video 😂

[@SuperFlyCH]

You did not show us what the free version can do and not do. I did not know if the free version has all of the features that I need/want and unfortunately, after watching your video, I still do not know. The title of the video is a little misleading, it should say Flow pro not free vs pro...

[@Huddison]

You know that the free version is, well 'free' - so give it a try yourself....

[@EnsiFerrum]

Just a few words about //42 and all of their FS-2020 addons: It simply works! I went for the Pro-Version, time to fresh up the mind with some javascript

[@Huddison]

Let us know what you come up with.

[@Sidetrack208]

Guess this is only for PC.

[@Huddison]

Currently at least.

Find a friend is of no use to me. I don't have any 😀
