I know it's different for every plane, but when approximately should one be switching fuel tanks between right and left? Say a plane has 30 gallons in each tank, should we consider switching around 25, 20, 15?

cmpterjones posted:Often this is called-out in the POH for a particular aircraft if it doesn't feed from left and right simultaneously. I was taught to do it every 15 mins of flight, and switch to the fullest tank on approach. I see, so for a general "video game rule of thumb" probably switching every 5-10 gallons should be ok. Thanks.

2.3.5.6 We have mostly fixed the Cessna 172. It now has been more or less restored to the state it was in at the launch of the game, except now its GPS doesn't show you where you are, it shows you where you could be. 2.3.5.7 We may have fixed the Cessna 172's GPS.* See notes. Notes: The Cessna knows where it is at all times. It knows this because it knows where it isn't. By subtracting where it is from where it isn't, or where it isn't from where it is (whichever is greater), it obtains a difference, or deviation. The guidance subsystem uses deviations to generate corrective commands to drive the Cessna from a position where it is to a position where it isn't, and arriving at a position where it wasn't, it now is. Consequently, the position where it is, is now the position that it wasn't, and it follows that the position that it was, is now the position that it isn't.

 Can someone explain how to get what I assume is True Air Speed using this gauge? I'm pretty sure you need to twist the knob as you gain in altitude, but I can't really see what should be where. In this picture I'm at 10,000 feet. What would my TAS be?

PT6A posted:Carenado released a Seneca V for FS2020. I haven't flown it a lot, but if you like the Seneca is general, it seems quite nice. GPS is still afflicted as with every plane, but the other instrumentation is quite nice especially if you want something that's well-equipped but not full-glass. It's a bit expensive for an addon, like most of their stuff, but so far I really like it. I like the Seminole quite a bit and it's become my go-to for quick flights. The Seneca is very similar, except it's slightly upgraded in pretty much every way: A little faster, a little more powerful, flies a little higher and also has a little more capability in terms of instrumentation and de-icing. I can second the Seneca and if you are interested in both the Seminole and the Seneca, you could probably just get the Seneca and be happy with it. The Seminole is nice too however, just with slightly fewer features. I'm definitely a fan of the twin-engines that Carenado has been releasing.
