My amateur surgery to disable the unskippable publisher ads was blocking the Steam update. Do a force recheck and the update will download. (The correct way to disable those ads is to add -FastLaunch to the game command line from Properties > Set Launch Options in Steam)

lobsterminator posted:Rise of Flight is having a sale now. The base game with a handful of planes is free, though. I recommend trying it out, I've had good fun with it through the years. Assuming I like the free-to-play game, does anyone have any recommendations for throwing a ~$10 on DLC? Looks like you can buy planes and modification ala-carte at the store and packs of stuff on Steam? I'm mostly single-player oriented.

Looks like you can buy planes and modification ala-carte at the store and packs of stuff on Steam? I'm mostly single-player oriented. It's best to get all the modifications for the planes. I don't have recommendations for planes, I don't have too many myself. I bought an entire series of Nieuport planes so I could play an evolving campaign using that series of planes. If you buy totally random planes from different countries it will be harder to use them if you like to play the campaign mode. There's also this nice campaign generator. It takes a bit of learning, so it's best to go with the built in campaign first. This just adds a bit of variety later on. https://riseofflight.com/forum/forum/394-pat-wilsons-campaign-generator/

So the patch didn't fix the broken rudder controls on Xbox controller? Such an easy fix, and a core functionality for a first party controller.

I think they just don't want people to think they have the patch when they need to quit and reload first. edit: for the MS Store version it kicked me out at the launch screen and had me update there.

There's sure some optimization potential there, to stop Coherent from blocking the rendering loop. I mean, we got plenty of cores nowadays. --edit: Oh the 87KB patch is updating all the in-game panels and cockpit instruments. I guess they did mess with Coherent UI.

lobsterminator posted:RemoteFlight apps for GA gauges and maps: Anyone know if these RemoteFlight instrument apps work with FS2020? Incidentally, I got ForeFlight to work as a moving map using SimConnect. It was mostly OK but sometimes the aircraft position would jump between the in-sim position and my iPad’s actual GPS location XD.

There are a couple of users ITT who do extremely helpful effort posts and even did live lessons on discord and those things get plenty of attention but I don't know if you could make that financially interesting unless you really go around the wider community

I would say he should definitely try, and also try out making videos or twitch streaming too, especially if he's already motivated enough from needing work. A lot of people would be interested.

I would almost guarantee no one will give him money personally for lessons unless it counts as instruction hours they can credit to something so just piling on with the idea he can do tutorials or other content on YouTube fishing for a Patreon or whatever it is you do to get money from there these days. E. Keep in mind he's going to be competing with hundreds of other laid off pilots with sim equipment, sorry

I think the lack of study level planes would be tough for some folks - I know I’d love to get a more personal input of “here’s how I fly my jet at work,” but without a shared cockpit and a study level craft it’s kind of DOA. Not sure how much I’d be willing to spend for it either. It’s definitely a tough sell. :/

skooma512 posted:https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/sep/02/grounded-beef-airlines-sell-in-flight-meals-to-earthbound-travellers Don't people complain about airplane food blandness because tastebuds don't work as well at the decreased pressure or something. Would be interesting what people think of airplane food at sea level.

Unfortunately these don't appear to do delivery in America. I've been trying to get in touch with local airline catering, but none of them offer this. poo poo out of luck I think. It was a fun idea, but i've given up.

Taking off from Chagual airport at 4,000 feet, when it's 44 degrees out during winter, and boxed in all sides?  Once you get flying into the canyon there are crazy gusts.
