Does anyone else own the honeycomb yoke. The hat switch is acting a bit wacky when I look left and right in my plane. Anyone else having issues at all with that specific component?

Qubee posted:OnAir is great but I wish they'd fix the time thing, I'm currently flying in pitch black and can't even enjoy the view cause whenever I adjust the time ingame, it stops tracking me on the app, and I don't know if I'll miss out on xp / rewards / whatever if I just fly in daylight and then track when I'm close to my destination. In your settings for OnAir there is a "UTC Offset". This will allow you to offset where you are in relation to real-time, which will allow you to play during the day at night, etc. Only caveat is you can't have any live flights going when you adjust it.

Qubee posted:I figured out how to fight the autopilot back into submission, it can sometimes go haywire with the trim and turning it off and on again doesn't fix the issue as the trim is still set to extremes. I disengage autopilot, control the airplane with the joystick to keep it level, and quick adjust trim to takeoff level, then hit alt hold and engage autopilot and that fixes it, with a tiny bit of babysitting. Without doing this, it'll keep sending you into stalls. In the OnAir client options you can adjust the UTC offset to whatever you need to fly in daytime.

Wasn't there a video of somebody practicing spin recovery in an early build? If you can stall the plane, you have enough elevator control. You need to use ailerons to get a stall-spin going - once you're in the stall, try going for a full right roll. (Right roll because that will increase the AoA of your left wing, causing it to stall even worse and putting you into a spin).

Qubee posted:Just did my first OnAir mission from Dublin to Wales, night flight. It was so fun, especially knowing it was for an objective. 10/10, would recommend it to other people who love FS but don't like mindlessly flying just for the sake of it. Gives you something to work towards. My G1000 kept bleeping and showing a yellow M towards the end of the flight though, not sure why. Also, over the Celtic sea, I had crosswinds that genuinely smashed into my plane and caused me to slam 10-15 degrees to the left. I thought something had exploded, then checked the crosswinds on my nav and figured it must have been a powerful gust, is that right or was it a bug? I thought I'd run into an invisible wall / collidable object. That's the OMI saying if you are on Outside, middle or Inside of the runway. My other G1000 question For ILS with the G1000, I'm tuned into the ILS how do I get the glidepath to show I keep coming in steep and hot because i"m use to it showing up on the FD, instead if just gives me my set altitude.

Wasn't there a video of somebody practicing spin recovery in an early build? Reduce to minimum power, pull the nose nice and high, and stomp on the rudder, yeah. That ought to do it. e: works fine for me. Try to be uncoordinated (in a skid, ideally) -- the spin comes from being in poor coordination. In a real C152/172, just releasing the controls will break the spin if it's less than about 1.5 turns, while letting it continue past that point will develop it fully and you'll need to actively recover. That is fairly accurately modeled too. So hold the rudder until you really start rotating.

Just had the tower tell me to go around because a human player in a Caravan was taking their sweet rear end time to actually take off, then on my second attempt it told a real life flight that was ready to line up to hold short for me. It's far from perfect, but it's orders of magnitude better than FSX or XP 11's ATC. Also I guess that answers the question of whether the game will change what real life flights are doing based on what's happening in game.

Ahh yes that's its purpose.. I had it confused with left right center of runway not distance. I asked this in discord and the answer is probably not in this jank g1000 Anyone know the procedure in Msfs g1000 to go the next waypoint in a landing pattern? I tried to select it and pressed menu > activate leg and it did nothing. I wanted to do a short jump to an airport 10 NM North and the approach started 10nm South so i really didn't want to fly South 10 NM just to do a turn and go 20nm North. tater_salad fucked around with this message at 02:11 on Aug 21, 2020 |

Nietzsche posted:Click Sensitivity on the left of the control bindings window, scroll down to the axis it's using (I think mine is something like Joystick Slider Axis X or something, doublecheck by seeing what's bound to Elevator Trim), and set the sensitivity to something like -60%. That's what mine's at, and even that seems a bit touchy, so it might need some more tweaking. relatedly, i was curious about this too: i have a thrustmaster as well and the stick controls seem kind of touchy, but i've obviously never flown a plane nor have i played a flight sim with this before. do you experienced folks have the regular x/y axes on these things set to their default settings or would it be better to tweak anything related to that? i'm not sure what's realistic or just the game's controls being insane because it seems like it's all over the place when it comes to controls and settings lol. i already cranked both the rudder and trim sensitivity way down

To be honest, and it is absolutely petty, but the more modern interface and application that is OnAir makes me not want to use FSE. It's just enough flashy poo poo in my eyes to make me ignore the fact its just third party numbers going up. Even though it just ate my tutorial flight, the loving thing.

Even signing up is such a slog, just to be greeted by generated UI and 11+ year-old databases of aircraft and airports. I look forward to giving OnAir a shot once they work out some of the issues in FS2020, and maybe we get some good 3rd party planes.

The Savage Xtreme Turbo Cub (whatever Gen-Xtreme name it's called) in insane with full flaps. It'll just kind of float off the ground. I still haven't figured out if the turbo button does anything.

Right now in OnAir, there are some jobs that have multiple "legs", and under partnerships goons could each run a leg to do the job cooperatively. Goons can also outsource jobs to other goon partners. Each goon is independent though. FAKE EDIT: Oh poo poo, there ARE actual virtual airlines on the Thunder World, but from what I understand, AI pilots are also disabled on that world. I've been using AI pilots to great effect during my work hours. So that's sort of a lovely decision.

Having a hard time deciding where to start my home base in OpenAir. Leaning towards Columbia and act like I'm smuggling drugs along with my legal cargo...maybe slowly take my Cessna up to the Bahamas. Anyone know if all airports generate missions? What if I wanna play as the CIA in Afghanistan, are all the small airports there going to have enough jobs for me to survive?

I'm not understanding work orders, after reading the manual. I am making some longhaul flights while I sleep, so I'm taking pallets from England > Italy, and then bringing Food from Italy > England. It keeps telling me to set alternative airports but I don't want the AI landing at a random airport and causing me to miss taking these loads and just flying empty.

Can we get an OnAir Goon Discord going? Or shove a channel in the AirGoons Discord. AirGoons is just insanely busy though, and there's only 11 of us currently which would make for a cozy spot to hangout and organize runs together.

My controller bindings and sensitivity settings keep resetting when I close and restart the game. They were working fine yesterday.  Also if you're playing with a controller, I've found it's 100 times easier if you control the throttle with your mouse. Much smoother flights now that I can dial in exactly what I want.

Flying at night paying attention to the instruments, cruising while fudging with various buttons, all while the app tracks my flight in real time? God drat this poo poo is dangerous.
