I got my gladiator nxt in the mail today. Was a surprise because tracking was showing in japan last night. Anyways, it's pretty great. The damping on the stick is awesome. Rotary encoder for my trim being awesome is a suprise highlight. I suppose one con is it's probably a little less ergonomic

https://skyvector.com/files/tpp/2109/svg/00070IL15.svg This is the ILS runway 15 approach plate for Burlington international, KBTV. I've been flying in and out of there in FBW A320 trying out ILS and RNAV approaches since I can run the airliner at a decent FPS now. Now I know FS2020's nav computers are wonky as hell but I just want to know if there is a way to change arrival waypoints because when you punch in the ILS 15 arrival for this airport, the sim takes you to HERRO/FOVES first and then does this wonky 180 degree turn back to CFBPD where it does another 180 into the localizer. But I mean, airliners in real life just get directed straight in over FOVES (I've been watching and listening to the real ATC when they were using ILS 15 last night). Unfortunately I cannot seem to edit the waypoints that get punched in when you select an arrival in the FMC MCDU, their buttons just don't react to anything, and when I try to direct to FOVES once I get there it tries to go back to HERRO and through those wonky turns. I don't really know how to read the plate correctly, I assume the opposite direction over HERRO is part of the holding pattern or easy way to find the localizer but not sure how to read it. But planes irl aren't doing that at all. Now tell me there is no way and the game is just a bad airliner sim. It sucks so much they get this close and then little things like can't edit or delete arrival waypoints get in the way. edit: to help you understand the game's spaghetti approach, I've expertly drawn it in red, compared to the irl ILS approach planes took last night, in green: https://i.imgur.com/7RBAbB8.png ethanol fucked around with this message at 15:15 on Oct 5, 2021 |

Well that's good they're working on it at FBW. Hopefully somebody makes a X-FMC style addon or something that can drop into other planes, or maybe asobo will fix their poo poo

Yeah I figured that was how you fly the plate, but it feels insane when you actually fly it just because it feels totally wrong to go the opposite direction above final when the altitude difference between entering the loop and being on final is only 1200'. Still though, want I want to do is mimic what the pilots are doing on live atc, but as others have said, the default flight computer doesn't let you do that (edit arrival waypoints)

NAV works fine for me it's always VNAV that basically never works. Was pretty cool using VNAV in prepar3d PDMG though, I really hope their FS2020 737 comes out soon...

oh yes... ive had the vkb gladiator nxt for a while now and it's really great. price can't be beat. i may get a number of those addons. the throttle and autopilot boxes first i think I bought the aerosoft crj and am having fun with it. took me a bit to realize the plane has the same indents as autothrottle but yeah, they're actually just suggestions, and the speed AP is just maintaining speed through variable pitch. can't really tell how well the autopilot nav works yet, I tried hitting the approach button but it left me way high, so I dunno yet if it was me or a bug ethanol fucked around with this message at 15:43 on Oct 8, 2021 |

I read a early review that says weather transitions out of metars are jarring now. Like fog disappearing instantly. That sounds a whole like how xplane and activesky etc have done it for years now. Sure hope it’s not as bad as it is in xplane.

lol they made the afterburner so loooong the effect from behind looks pretty good at night though  Also, afterburner was unbound in controls for me, had to assign it a button which unlocks the last 20% of the throttle range my first reaction this plane is.. well this is kind of a joke in many ways after the DCS F-18.. but hey it's still kinda cool ethanol fucked around with this message at 03:21 on Nov 19, 2021 |

MrYenko posted:It’s basically the worst thing you can imagine. In a real airplane, you control the rudder by pressure on the pedals far more than any sense of how far the pedals have travelled. I’ve not used any of the more expensive sim pedals, but the usual suspects generally have less resistance than real rudder pedals do when the airplane is parked. Could probably simulate it with force feedback ie belt driven racing wheels or maybe hydraulic like some of the professional grade brake pedals for racing sims. Do the best professional flight sim have force feedback / simulate aerodynamic pressure on controls? I’ve never thought about it.

I love eagle dynamics as much as the next guy but didn’t one of their devs recently get deported and banned from usa for finding and using an actual f16 TM? Imagine Microsoft owning that lawsuit… Dcs and its illegal planes must be made by Russians for the fidelity we demand

Crunchy Black posted:TM probably refers to technical manual. Depending on the industry, the level of detail can vary from, badly translated Chinese Amazon trinket pamphlet“ to “how to rebuild a supersonic fighter after battle damage” Yes, in this case I believe he had obtained an actual us military technical manual which are given out to units. Hence why the penalty wasn’t more drastic, they’re not super hard to obtain, but you’ll (probably) know it’s illegal when you get one and aren’t a crew chief or something I say not super hard because that plane is very old and many countries have it now. If you’re getting manuals for the f35 well… nice to meet you mr. James Bond ethanol fucked around with this message at 20:41 on Jan 17, 2022 |

Inner Light posted:Half or mostly serious question, do you think we are OK with the F/A-18 manual posted or should I back that one out? It's not as old as the F-16.... I don’t know where you got it, but when they specifically say crap about being United States govt distro only I would uh fly away from that. My last education lesson is that unclassified and do not distribute are not the same thing to the United States government. You still can’t distribute most unclassified govt property ethanol fucked around with this message at 20:57 on Jan 17, 2022 |

Vor/Ndb only from east coast us to Europe….. in a steamgauge cessna. Enjoy the 6 hours of dead space between points in Canada on your way to Greenland. Only cheaters pull up the vfr map. Tl;dr I ran out of fuel looking for a beacon I’m not convinced is in the game

Have any of you guys been watching this rebuild rescue guy on YouTube try to start a abandoned Cessna 408 (I think 408, it’s a twin engine turbo charged piston engine)? Just wondering what you think of this joker, he has no pilots license but somehow access to a giant hanger where he gets to work on the thing… somebody tried to offer the real owner $20k after the saw the YouTube videos, apparently the YouTube dude talked the owner out of accepting… Anyways it seems like a sim goons dream

Finally like 4 videos in he started putting gloves on but jfc. Aside from that it's been neat watching him work on those engines even with all the usual YouTube clickbait content. Oh definitely the bird poop is naaaasty. Especially the interior of that plane, just disgusting. Also definitely not a 408. Yeah I admit the clickbait is how I even found the channel

3080 ti made absolutely no difference in the game for me. it's capped by a 100% single thread on the cpu as soon as you step in an airliner cockpit. been doing that since the day it came out. GA planes run fine by comparison. flight sim never changes

I’ll believe it when I see it becuse the game isn’t cpu heavy it’s single thread heavy on one very bad ui design And of course their example is a GA where none of the problems present

there are two MS2020 flight sims when it comes to benchmarking. The GA version which gets to take advantage of that 4090 GPU get 100 fps in 4k and then there's the 20-30 fps in 720p airliner version which is limited by horrific code and has pretty much nothing to do with hardware at this point
