July 2024 Meeting

Just over a dozen or so of the group gathered together at Aerospace Bristol, this time in one of the smaller rooms. Ian brought along his haptic gaming seat insert, allowing members to feel the various vibrations of the aeroplane; Keith bought along his Xbox Series X to demonstrate how well MSFS 2020 runs on the console; Phil had DCS, with VR on display; so all in all, lots to see and do.

We attempted to live stream the session onto our Discord channel. However, we need a better microphone and we need to arrange things a bit better. Hopefully next month we’ll try again!

There’s quite a bit of interest in Microsoft’s new release, Flight Simulator 2024, scheduled for release on 19th November 2024. The November meeting will be focussed on looking at the new sim.

We also discussed our upcoming agenda till the end of the calendar year, and looked at potentially building a G1000; more information about the G1000 in the slides. We’re also planning a session on ATC addons, which have grown substantially since the advent of AI and what it can now bring.
