Great news, I can't wait. I plan to buy on the 1st day. I'm glad you're making more planes for MSFS.
Maybe you will consider developing a popular training plane. Many people fly in simulators and doing flying licenses at the same time, so such an aircraft would be very useful.

Hi
Is there a risk that A2A will postpone the Aerostar and wait for MSFS 2024

There is not a risk, there is a likelihood.

Not much communication lately. Maybe some more news would be possible soon...

So the Aerostar won't be available in MSFS 2020 then?? Or is just scuttlebutt

So far no official announcements. It is all speculation.

Lots of people will still be using MSFS2020 for awhile until
The bugs get worked out in 2024.

And lots of people may be forced to return to 2020 when their ISPs set data caps after seeing how much data 2024 is eating. 80GB per hour per Tom's Hardware. Yikes.

Well I for one will be sticking to 2020, so I guess if the Aerostar isn't available for 2020, A2A won't be able to take my money

Honestly, I've been lucky to participate in Alpha testing and since they closed it, I was not flying msfs20 yet. Cause msfs24 even during limited edition at testing stage, It was so different. The aerodynamics, weather and smoothnes for my HW (rtx3090, ryzen 5950) and also network, that I think I will not use msfs2020 anymore 🙈 :P

It's not really going to be 80gb an hour, that was straight up clickbait. I've seen other reports, including one on the PMDG forums from one of their team members(like em or hate em, they're precise and fastidious) that while there are spikes like that with crazy numbers, it really works out to the low single digits of GB per hour when you're actually flying. Loading up in as well as flying into high detail areas will cause big spikes, but then it's cached and drops again.

Thanks for that! There was a data limit when I signed up for my plan years ago, but they dropped it out of the blue with no explanation. Whether deliberate or accidental, I didn't ask, but I'm always waiting for them to find a reason to reinstate it. :mrgreen:

Yeah I was pretty concerned over the Tom's Hardware article for the same reason. My internet provider has a completely unquantified 'acceptable use' limit in the contract. Dunno what it is, but the fine print says if i use an 'unreasonable' amount of data I'm cancelled for good. There is no other internet provider option for my place(TDS is just an awesome company. Somehow managed to even make me miss Xfinity). I work from home so losing internet would be a pretty big problem for me, I mean my only option would be Starlink at that point.

To compound on that, as I work from home, I'll sometimes have medium or long haul airliner flights going while I'm working. Soo yeah do the math if it were to have it going all day several days a week, depend on the internet for my job, and have an unspecified limit, which you'd imagine whatever that's supposed to be would be blown through by 80gb an hour all day more than one day a week.

What I saw on the PMDG forums matches with my intuition as a software engineer too, 80/gb an hour seems like a worst case number/spike number(as in 80gb/hour worth of incoming data, for 10 seconds loading something heavy), not an average case number. Like if you were continually to runway start at JFK, load the NYC photogrammetry on a short ascent, hit restart, clear the cache and do it again repeatedly maybe you could sustain that but like you'd need to try
