Evolution of Global Flight

All my flights will be meticulously planned in simbrief and skyvector, so yes

Iā€™m just going to guess through out the flight, fuel, winds, speeds, everything.

Thatā€™s going to end badlyā€¦ Simbrief is free, simple and requires no download. Why wouldnā€™t you use it?!?

1- this topic isnā€™t about how you are going to plan routes.
2- Guessing is not a good idea.

I donā€™t know I probably will use it sometimes but for shorter flights I wonā€™t.

That fog screenshot was nice! I loved how the mountains barely poke out of the layer

The map is slowly but surely filling upā€¦ canā€™t wait to see how much more fillied it will get! Also, can we get a topic showcasing the Instagram comment madness?

There really isnā€™t a need to have a topic about instagram comments, you can always see them by going to instagram yourself.

Am I the only one that thought that was the Scottish highlands? Looks beautiful anyway :)

Justin wondering I got anyone knows something about this: So weā€™ve seen several pictures with a defined fog layer, so does this mean in solo we will get a new weather setting regarding layer height or something similar?

What? Global will be available in both solo and live.

Firstly, thatā€™s not what he asked, and secondly, youā€™re wrong. Textures are the same but he asked about the weather, and as log as you have a subscription for global global is in solo and live. (@S_Olejniczak we donā€™t know, buts itā€™s a safe bet to assume so)

Hello to all please I have questions regarding the Global: imagine that a personā€™s subscription ends in 3 weeks and that the global comes out before, will this person have to wait until the end of his subscription for Have the global?

Donā€™t quote me on this, but I believe I read somewhere that all props are being updated because of the engine start/stop feature

We still donā€™t know. You (and I) will have to wait for the pricing to be announced.

Let me share with you, my feelings about this updateā€¦

I donā€™t know how they managed to do so, but the texture and the quality is absolutely amazing and we can clearly see that a lot of effort has been put in that. I personally think that FDS have focused their effort into quality, and details. And as we say, details makes difference. And personally, Iā€™m amazed by the way how FDS managed to create, design, build and even concept all this ā€œGlobalā€ flight update in a year only. Guys, this is incredible ! And trust me, only few people are able to work like that, and thankfully (for us) FDS team members are some of them!

It goes without saying that Iā€™m and most of us are unable to judge their work simply because we have not tried it yet. But this incredible is one step closer to the beginning of a new era of this app.

But from my personal perspective Iā€™m very proud and very amazed about their achievement.

Finally, itā€™s important for me, to thanks everyone who worked for FDS, IF, IFC, and Global ! Without their precious work, this message would have probably never existed! So thank you Global workers !

Iā€™ll stop here simply because Iā€™m out of wordsā€¦

I tried to simulate a no-visibility landing once, and by that I mean I only looked at my instruments and refused to look out the window. Albeit in gusting crosswinds, I landed on the taxiway. I need some practiceā€¦

I think this is what most people who complain in this topic and in other topics donā€™t understand this. This is amazing. If anyone still believes that Aerofly is better (even though that viewpoint isnā€™t justified ;)) will have to abandon that opinion.
Incredible. Canā€™t wait. I wish FDS some strength through the last months of testing!
