(ie: weather, clouds, lighting, new planes, adding birds and other aircraft to the skys)

IMHO the main 3rd party contributions will be to local scenery and aircraft models while the base sim will manage the rest. For instance its current weather system and ATC are far more advanced than anything I've seen with any other sim (and I spent quite too many $ on weather add-ons when I was full steam on FSX! ).

That was real Cody! Delightful even.

Delightful

Delightful name for a band... almost as good as Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen

Looks like there is a new update for UK & Ireland, looking really good. I am not sure if my Vega64 can run this with everything turned on and I hear modders are doing some good things like adding helicopters.

Meanwhile in the Pyrénées... (mountain range at the border between Spain and France)

The model is the Piper Arrow IV from JustFlight and the scenery vanilla MSFS as usual. Incidentally that's the first iteration of the sim with which I'm prefectly happy with GA planes, just trying to fly properly by the rules and mostly by hand. I also used to snub the "activities" and "missions" but not this time: that LESU-LFNQ hop was taken from one of the sim's "Bush Trips", multi-legged flights in scenic places around the planet. This one goes from Bordeaux to Megève in Switzerland (16 stops over about 660 nm).

Those screenshots almost look real  
How long does that take @d-c-elington to do the 660nm? And how is the save system will it allow to save mid-flight or do you have to be at a airstrip?

It's not possible to save mid-flight but each leg is never more than 30 min long so that's no big issue. Also these bush trips come with a detailed and commented flight log but with a set stock aircraft and no ATC. So generally I fly one or two legs, then come back again in the Arrow with a slightly modified flight plan, under ATC and with live weather if VFR conditions apply

Looks like MS is releasing the next installment.... I like this one, you can do some nice missions here:

Thought this was cool, you can fly the Ornithopter on Dune in Flight Simulator now

I read it yesterday I think, but up until now, every version of Flight Simulator, used just one CPU core. Next version is rumored to use more CPU Cores!!

I been waiting to buy this because I need to invest in a new flight stick setup. But I least have the PC/Gfx for this and since I have that 20c i7-14700k it would be nice if the game used multiple cores effectively
