The BC-12D is Got Friends' final new aircraft built for both MSFS 2020 and 2024, with Standard, Bush, Floats and Skis variants plus the studio's Reactive Motion and Craft Pad systems.

The week's strongest opinion was reserved for Aerosoft's A330neo. Murph's objection wasn't that a lower-priced widebody offers less systems depth; he argued that reduced scope and poor basic quality are two very different things.
His criticism focused on what he described on stream as visible modelling gaps, inconsistent finishing and quality-control problems. Those observations are presented here as Murph's opinion from the broadcast, not as independently established defects.
