Hi there!
Does anyone remember the Chevrolet from Prepar3D?
It was essentially a complex driving simulation within the flight simulator.

Now, it’s coming to MSFS24 soon, too. The vehicle is being "revived" in collaboration with Marc L. from the FSDeveloper forum.
Marc is handling the bulk of the work, while I’m taking care of the text and symbols - which look quite blurry due to their age. Marc has completely rebuilt the driving physics using MSFS24's internal physics engine. He’s also responsible for the sound and other elements like the lights.
The original P3D code snippets from Manfred Jahn and Rob Rob Barendregt's modeldef.xml were carried over to preserve the animations, switches, and so on.
Manfred and Rob have given their permission for this
I’ve got a little something to show you, too...
There is a short video showing some features and the driving physics:

A few things, like the flickering license plate, have already been fixed. But as I said, it's all still a work in progress :-)
