Jaguar for me has always been an anaemic, insipid, machine because it replaced the Lightning at the airfield I visited as a Tedlet. A Lightning module for MSFS would definitely get my money,

You know you can fly the lightening and jaguar in war thunder sim and actually blow stuff up and shoot people down...right ?

Maybe the tacpack will makes it's way to MSfS 20/24 and give purpose to combat aircraft beyond just being a virtual air museum.

You can use weapons in MSFS 2024.

Really ? Like it has damage modelling and everything or just cinematic explosion, but not really anything behind it ? I suppose it's possible if they are modeling wildfires and traffic crashes for the aerial firefighting / air medical portion in the missions.

Presently it models some of the systems, targeting and deployment with effects, but I don't think there is active destruction yet.

AI ATC is a thing now...seems like an evolution over Voice Attack. It's a subscription based service and it ain't cheap!

Sim Update 2 for MSFS 2024 has also been released and seems to have fixed a lot. Still a ways to go, I would imagine.

I find these things frustrating.

Right now FS2020 is entirely disabled for me. The Steam version wants me to log in to Microsoft. But the dialog box for the password is broken, you can't focus on it. Clicking on it with the mouse deselects it again after a fraction of a second. Who's QAing these things before release?

On the bright side, my Vulcan bombah can now be enabled in 2024. It even almost works (out of trim, can't get the nose down at all).

Holy hell this looks bloody amazing. July 31 is the release date.
