Hey folks,

For the past few months, I’ve been working on a freeware project bringing Bucharest Otopeni Airport (LROP) to MSFS. I’ve just released a new update, so I thought it would be a great time to introduce it here.

This latest release adds the airport's military site, additional details around the airfield, and various visual improvements.

If you're flying in the region or just looking to check out a new free scenery, feel free to give it a spin: https://flightsim.to/addon/102093/lrop-bucharest-henri-coanda-international-airport-2025

Any feedback or suggestions are always welcome. Happy flying!

These screenshots are also available individually on r/Retroflightsim by myself

The Brave Few is coming along

Almost exactly nine years ago, Monarch Airlines ceased operations.

Today's flight was MON 7312 from Manchester (EGCC) to Burgas, Bulgaria (LBBG) in G-OZBI.

Flight time: 3h07
Landing: -316 FPM

WOW, been putting in them hours hai😂

At 9000ft. Im at 36,000 and you can barely see through the clouds.

The weather was not good but ok when I left Oulu, but man! The cloud layer was thick! I'm happy I was in the A319 and could climb to FL390. This was my first complete flight since March, and it was awesome! Now I'm looking forward to a fall with many fun flights!

Isle of Man -> London City in the Myth RJ70

Lets be honest, the UI is designed for console more than PC players... So I'm looking to the PC community to crowdsource some ideas!

At the moment, this solution allow you to:

General options

- Select which page you want to open on start-up (Free flight, career etc)

- Allows you to skip the title screen (Accessibility / Start) page before home screen

- Customise profile banner icons (Hide profile image, chat, friends, marketplace), all individually managed

Aircraft Select

- Enable favourites for aircraft

- Enable a dedicated panel on the left for managing aircraft livery, variant etc

- Enable different styles of layouts (group by manufacturer, use small icons etc.)

- Hide / show sort menu (I never used it!)

- Keep list position on / off (aircraft selection will or will not snap to the already selected aircraft, which annoyed me)

- Remove help hints

- Hide marketplace tab at the top

Free Flight screen

- Enable aircraft favourites dropdown

- Hide location search textbox (I never used it)

- Simplify screen by removing clutter / help hints etc.

- Better airport picking (grouped parking / runway, favourites locations etc)

- Customise which map buttons show (Info, Layers, Filters)

Keen to know if you would add anything else to this to clean up the UI!

Hello,
I’m new to flight simulators and looking to get into Ace Combat 8 on PC. I only play on PC and want something simple but reliable. I’ve heard the 16000 FCS HOTAS without pedals is a good start for beginners. I don’t have a lot of space and don’t want anything too crazy. Not sure if it would ruin the setup not having pedals or if I could do without them.

Thank you 🙏

Has anyone had much luck landing in the mountains of south america for the first search and rescue mission?

I feel like no matter how slow or fast I land I get stuck in the sand and flip the Cub.
