Last new aircraft fo MSFS2020

[hasegawa]

Farewell to MSFS 2020. The ATR 42-600 and 72-600 will be the last new aircraft “for the old man”.
The update orgy won't be cheap. Maybe I should switch to playing golf. Air Corsica ATR 42, Ajaccio Napoleon Bonaparte Airport

I've always liked the ATR (it's such an elegant aircraft) - and am enjoying the MSFS version of it, though it's still a little buggy. Nice screenshots!

We all know that MSFS 2024 is just around the corner and when moving from one version to the next you never know how much the updates will cost of all this stuff and whether there will be any at all or whether you will have to pay for a completely new one. This wasn't a problem before, but today I have to start doing the math, especially since the inflation and price increases caused by the stupid sanctions because of the war in Ukraine are noticeable. The sanctions affect the Russians far less than they affect us. Boomerang effect. In addition, the changeover will certainly take place more quickly, as the whole thing will no longer be done on our dish, but rather at the Microsofties. As if it won't happen that you can't change slowly, but rather quickly. This could be financial carnage, hence my golf joke. Becoming a member of the country club around the corner, the costs for training and education could not be as far away as what will be due for the FS 2024. So stopping addons is “investment protection.

I created a spreadsheet to record all my activation details for my MSFS payware. Out of curiosity/boredom, I added three "cost" columns: $USD, EUR and $NZD - with currency conversion rates added.

The BIG mistake I made was to add the SUM() function!

Yes, a big mistake. Make sure that spreadsheet doesn’t fall into “enemy hands”. Encryption required?
