#TalkingFlightMonitor is amazing, I encourage anyone wanting to learn how to fly aircraft to use that instead of #MSFSBlindAssist, its much more detailed in its scope documentation-wise, the people actually care about you and your experience as a new pilot, and the people at MSFSBA don't give a fuck about you unless you read the hundreds of pages of manuals that they did, but you have to find them yourself first because they won't give you any hints to where to go.

I spent $130 or something on these aircraft, and what I can say is, is that having done so as wel as the money for stuff like navigraph and other tools to use to fly, #TFM is definitely the best way forward. Sure, we may not be as flashy as #MSFSBA, but MSFSBA is for people who are already established pilots, its not for the average person and its incredibly gatekept. There is much more I can say, because they managed to piss me off which is really hard to do, but I'll leave it at that.

@Orinks Not sure yet. I'm waiting for that too, I have to renew my sub as it expired and I forgot to renew it, so will do that this weekend.

@Orinks @LeonianUniverse Lol, I meant it in more of a teasing way rather than anything serious. Anyway, we're looking for flight stick recommendations. What do you use? I doubt you're doing the Xbox controller thing these days.

@Rooktallon @LeonianUniverse Oh okay haha. Well, I use the flight t.hotas one from Thrustmaster right now. Someone in the community just got the Honeycomb Echo which I'm interesed in hearing more about. It has more buttons and controls, and takes up less space.

@Orinks @Rooktallon I'm going to the Microcenter tomorrow to check out options for Flight Sticks. They apparently have a varied selection, so I will have a lot to choose from.

@Orinks @Rooktallon Have you messed around with the new TFM update yet? I'm hoping John streams it here at some point.
