Just wrapped an incredible interview with Jorg Neumann (MSFS) and Deputy Commissioner Jayson McKeller (NSW RFS Aviation) about World Update 21: Australia.
We talked aerial firefighting, simulation in real‑world training, lessons from the MSFS2024 launch, and the future of the platform.

longish flight for a Caravan but Sim Update 5 just got released and i wanted to put it through it's paces (consensus: great! lot of performance improvements), plus i love flying in these kinds of conditions
Canadian High Arctic Research Station in the background there too! #MSFS2024
I used SteamVR with ALVR here on Bazzite linux but WiVRn with the latest XR-izer (edit: literally the most recent commit) finally plays the core set of games I like to play right now and it has passthrough capability by default so I can have my WayVR windows floating in real space. PLUS, almost biggest deal, is it runs like a dream. I maxed out my settings, resolution and FPS and MSFS2024 looks and feels GORGEOUS.
(I know all those things might sound made up but they're not lol)
One tip if on Fedora/Arch or similar is to install via the package manager for now because right now the flatpak has an outdated Mesa version included that causes graphical issues.

Few legs left in japan then over to russia/alaska! really cool approach into runway 15 here, and i'm really enjoying the BlackSquare Cessna 208 Caravan, they really knock it out of the park when it comes to GA planes
it's so fucking cool that i found a helicopter for microsoft flight sim 2024 that is both compatible with VR stick control (so i can fly with 100% realistic body position) and has a livery for our local TV helicopter (that got sold off, sadly). seemingly small, tedious things to the developer like making a bunch of liveries of real-life helicopters can be a huge thing for users like me.
my dad was in TV and he knew the guy who flew this helicopter really well, and was always amazed at his skill. he would have enjoyed this at least as much as I do.
helicopter is CowanSim 206L3. it seems basically all of CowanSim's helicopters are fully VR capable. happy to give out recommendations, i bought all of cowansim's helicopters lol - they were on sale on the official marketplace as of yesterday.
