Plan can’t catch up with change — my cockpit rebuilding project is a good example.  It was virtually completed right before the launch of the MSFS 2020 a couple of months ago.  Many components I built for P3D then have to be reworked to cope with the new simulator now.

For  example the Flight Instrument Panels (FIPs) that were networked and now have to be connected to the main PC directly; and the two TVs on both sides are no longer usable for surround purposes as they are in different sizes (main TV 65-inch; side TVs 49-inch) that MSFS doesn’t support.

Fortunately, new plan is catching up.  Except the avionics set, others have been set properly even though finetuning is still needed.

Also, there are new components to be added soon.  Such as a 7-inch Touch Control monitor for VFR map. In addition, although I have spared a 1TB SSD for the reinstallation of P3D on my new computer, I am not quite sure anymore if I want to do it after flying around in MSFS for the whole weekend.

In terms of flightsimming and piloting operations, MSFS 2020 truly falls short far behind P3D and X-Plane.  But MSFS 2020 is definitely the flight simulator of today or tomorrow.

Just a quick update of where I am.
