Lessons learned: in MSFS 2020, never change flight phases if flight plan is manually input to FMS. Super lame because the Plan UI doesn’t let you select transitions, VIAs & airways so its IFR plans are 100% bonkers. Also saved flights don’t seem to save my FMS programming. 😤

@kurite Have you ever used X-plane? Don’t remember if they have this in check.

@kurite I used it (barely) many years ago, and having seen Flightradar24, I asked the people if data from Flightradar24 (or the like) could be used to “simulate” real data, but I don’t think I got a reply.

@odd MSFS uses some kind of real-time data (maybe FlightAware) to populate aircraft in the sky but then MSFS flight controllers make a mess and I get told to go around forever so I turned real-time data off. I bet X-Plane gets the experience right at least even if not real data. Would be cool though. Love Flightradar24!

@kurite Yes, maybe they should have a ½ ‘n ½ setting, so you could land.
