Are there any good tablet-based programs that can let me change radio/nav stuff? The ones I found are either linked to only a single plane, or are one of those "use your tablet as a second monitor" deal.

Oh god. I just reactivated my Vatsim account and... it's been a shade over 20 years since I first moved from Satco to Vatsim. Jesus.  In other news, how well does the CH Products Flight Yoke still hold up these days? I used it back in the day before something inside it broke, but lasted me many years, so I was considering getting another one.

Anyone know anybody that takes painting commissions for MSFS? I initially wanted to try recreating my old Piper Warrior 2 trainer plane, but the steps required are a bit much.

Finally settled down and played MSFS for the first time. I lost six hours of my day, Jesus I fell face first right back down the sim flight rabbit hole. My biggest problem was my controller constantly fighting with my mouse for focus when I was trying to manipulate stuff in the cockpit.

Are there any good controller profile settings out there? I tried the 50% change to triggers but I can’t tell if I did it right.

I’m loving the just flight piper warrior 2, but I’m biased since it was my trainer plane.

Just blew $$ on a honeycomb yoke and throttle setup, should arrive by next weekend. I have fully surrendered to the flight sim addiction again. God help me and my wallet.

I had brief access to flight sim on the C64, but after that I don't think I had access to any kind of flight sims until my family got a proper home PC many years later, and it was all downhill from there.

So are there any programs to automatically create layout.json and manifest.json files when creating MSFS scenery? None of the guides I've used have mentioned that I need either of these files, but when I go to build and export the scenery it keeps yelling at me that the files are missing, so it never finishes building. I'm also wondering if I've just setup the directory structures entirely wrong. Bentai fucked around with this message at 19:13 on Aug 17, 2021 |

I hope the next update has an easy way to flag airports for removal or fixing. I've found a number that either do not exist in real life, or they've laid out the airport entirely wrong.

  Took my just flight piper warrior out for a spin tonight. Flew into furnace creek, Death Valley at dusk. Then flew pretty well in the blind from there to Baker. Finally took a scenic route to Oxnard via Palmdale. MSFS is real pretty. And amazingly fun to fly with just a controller. I’ll hook up my yoke one day.

Probably indicated, since true airspeed and ground speed depends on altitude and winds and what not. I think.

 Goddamn I love MSFS. Flew from Davis, California up to Weed.  Tomorrow I'm taking a scenic tour of all the big rear end mountains on the way to Seattle.

Finally got Airmate EFB to work together with MSFS and my ipad. Had to download the "fs2ff.exe" program and manually specify the IP of the tablet, for some reason the UDP broadcast to the whole network didn't work. Once that got sorted, it's pretty great, and $free is amazing.

Yup. It happened to me when I landed in the Vancouver harbor. I guess the 3rd party scenery made stuff go boom. Very awesome that it gives you the ability to load safe mode to test stuff.

Is there a good lightweight "mega pack" or something for aircraft liveries? I'm tired of vPilot constantly complaining it can't find matching planes when I'm on vatsim. I've tried looking at flightsim.to but it's all kind of a confusing mess.

It's perfectly legal! You have to provide the services if your workload permits it!!

I really wish they would just batch download a zip file with the update, instead of hundreds of separate .fspatch files, it would probably be a more efficient use of bandwidth on both sides. Don't forget to rename your community folder before updating, just in case!

It’s been pretty great. I’m slowly adding custom support for the just flight warrior, but I’ve been running into some small problems. However the generic panel layouts work just fine for most stuff. It’s a good way to make use of a spare monitor or tablet/phablet.

BurntCornMuffin posted:So, for starters, there's a lot of tactile feedback an IRL plane gives you that sims just can't. My flight instructor said that people who try flying for real from sims have a tendency to watch the dashboard and "chase needles" instead of feeling the plane and looking out the window. Yep. My instructor had to cover the gauges with sticky notes for the first few hours until I stopped looking inside.

The Piper Warrior from just flight is also a great trainer. It has two separate VOR gauges, and you can swap into GNS530/GTN750 if you want to step into glass panel stuff. Of course it’s a payware plane but what the heck.
