Sagebrush posted:Yeah that's the kind of stuff I like. I wanna fly an OG 737 with the cigar tube engines around a thunderstorm from like Corpus Christi to Mexico City, landing hot and high while getting jolted all over the place, and navigating only by VOR and NDB and stopwatch. Smooth autopilot cruising at the flight levels is for sissies. This was a few years ago, but a bunch of dedicated people got a literal museum piece back up in the air to save it from being cut up to move it. https://globalnews.ca/news/999859/737-takes-off-from-city-centre-airport-lands-safely-at-new-home/

With the landing challenges, I understand the idea to touchdown in the little cyan box and smoothly/centered as possible, but also lay on the brakes and stop as fast as possible or does the roll out matter as much? I like the new little Halloween one. Kind of fun with the failures and the lightning.

Sagebrush posted:eh they're all wrong anyway. the romanian countryside absolutely does not have streetlights like that. also right when you start the challenge there's a line of lamps like 200 feet in the air -- at first I thought "cool, floating lanterns!!" but no lol. I was actually going to ask this - not for the halloween challenge, but in general. The highways are all completely lit up like city streets with streetlamps. Any way to tone that down? I assume not? I mean, it's great for VFR as you can see exactly where you are at midnight, but I'd prefer to see a bit of moving traffic and not static lights if possible. Also, did a flight through the Crowsnest Pass in Alberta last night - area of a big landslide 100+ years ago. Looks pretty drat good.  slidebite fucked around with this message at 15:59 on Nov 2, 2020 |

I don't do a ton of night flying but I did some last night around my home area. All the highways in my area, from 4-6 lane majors and 2 lane secondaries look like they have streetlights along their entirety. Even in the middle of nowhere.

Is there an official guide or something to read for the G1000 and airliner flight computers? I know there are several videos on youtube (of massive quality spread) but i was hoping for something to read.

I find it interesting (maybe I shouldn't) that there is a game like this released, with a tremendous amount of complexity (accurate or not) and literally zero documentation on how to use a lot of the more detailed features.

The update screwed up my keys for moving my head up down/side side (arrow keys) - anyone else? Also, why does the Neo keep engaging the autothrottle? Seems to be related to when I get close to TOGA power, you hear a click and the the light is then always lit. I have to turn it off. Am I missing something simple?

Thanks for that info on the 320. I guess it is what it is. I do have the 787 and I don't think I've even tried it yet. In the older MSFS I liked the 737 even though I know the model was pretty  in many ways.Is there a way to get radio frequencies for NAV/ILS/whatever when enroute? I noticed I clicking on the airport in the inflight map doesn't do anything. Does all of the airport stuff need to be downloaded/printed (?) ahead of time from 3rd party websites? Also, is there a way for the autopilot to program in? For example, I did a high altitude airways ILS last night and when we approached the destination the approach which I was vectored to was not automatically populated, and I had AI doing the radio changes in thoughts that maybe "they" would do it. I should have figured right away when I noticed the XPDR wasn't programmed right from the get go.

So RE the USA update, is anyone noticing weird elevation artifacts? I can only think it's elevation issues. This is about 20 or so miles west of Bozeman, MT the metropolis of Whitehall (MT41).  Also, for what it's worth, I have yet to have MSFS crash on me at all. 9900K and 1080ti. Actually, that might be a lie, it may have once shortly after release - but other than that been super stable.

jammyozzy posted:Has anyone experienced phantom icing since the latest patch? I was cruising through heavy cloud in the Caravan yesterday and noticed I was slowly losing airspeed as if the thing was icing up, but it was 14°C outside and there was no visual icing on the plane. I cranked the anti-ice up anyway but it made no difference, at one point I was struggling to hold 100kts in level flight at ~1800 trq.

So, I'm finally playing with the G1000 and poo poo, and my god, there has to be a better way for entering frequencies and transitions than trying to fiddle with the knobs.. isn't there? I know the mouse wheel works too but holy gently caress, even doing that its sadistic. Is it possible to somehow type it in?

I wish you could just type it once "selected" The switching between standby/active isn't a big deal but tuning drove me looney. Flying a 172 in rough air (west coast of Canada was going through a hell of a storm late yesterday) and getting thrown around in the cockpit, it was not fun. And I'll check out realsimgear. Thanks!

That looks pretty sweet. I see Garmin actual makes a remote keypad as well - if one of these could be simmed as a pop-up it would probably be a big improvement right there. Link is a PDF from Garmin http://static.garmin.com/pumac/GCU475_GCU476_InstallationManual.pdf

While I have a full Thrustmaster warthog setup, not gonna lie but my circa 1998 Sidewinder Precision Pro with twist rudder is my go to daily stick for 95% of my flying. It's comfortable and just plain works with no fuss. Also, got a 3090 and 850w power supply. Works awesome BUT haven't even tried FS yet. Only game I've played so far is Rise of Nations

Was there an MSFS update coming this week? Also, question to ask: Recently upgraded a 1080ti to a 3090. First thing I tried was the challenge, landing the A320 at dusk. I noticed a couple of "hiccups" like frame rate staggers while playing it, mostly shortly after starting it... but other than that it was very smooth. I don't remember if that happened originally with the ti. Anyone recall if that's normal? All I did for uninstall of the old 1080ti was uninstall the drivers, swapped cards, rebooted (windows then automatically did something to give me my proper desktop rez) and then I re-installed the newest drivers as with a clean install option checked.

OK thanks for the info folks. I seem to recall the odd hiccup with the 1080ti as well, and was darn near tempted to re-install it to compare, but I don't think I'll bother. Now, to decide if the ti goes into Mrs. Slidebites hand-me-down PC or sell it with the GPU hysteria going on :/

So what's the deal with vectoring for visual approaches? So did a short flight from CYQL (Lethbridge Alberta) to CYXC (Cranbrook, BC) which basically lies in a valley in the Rockies. It's very cold outside today, approx -25C and low ice fog. Do a low level IFR flight plan because I wanted to get vectored into the approach (due to the mountains and low cloud). Do a look at flight and it gets me up to 12K which should be enough and let it automatically give me the approach. Take off, get into the climb and enjoy the gorgeous sunset  Get to my last way point and shortly after ATC says to continue heading and expect 34 visual. Uh, OK. That's weird, because I know 16 has an ILS. And it's cloudy and miserable. Well, maybe the weather is really different there... a north wind or something. Get over most of the mountains and then the decent starts to get called.... for 9000, then 8400 then 7100, then 7400, then 9000, then 8100, 7000, 8400, etc, etc. Probably 50-60 altitude changes. It never stopped. Also, the peaks in the area are around 9000 so that's a problem. Make the descent without dying, get the call that the airport is at my 11 o'clock at 8 miles. Nothing there but cloud/fog. But, that doesn't stop the co-pilot! Says the airport is in sight and then calls final as well. Great. Basically, I can only see the approach lights within <1 mile and even then only found it/lined up because of the GPS. I'm assuming that my experience isn't unique?

I don't think they ever have, but maybe my expectations were too high for this. I prefer visuals if possible to avoid farting with the G1000, but at least with an instrument approach you're probably not going to fly straight into a mountain. Anyone know if it's an officially acknowledged issue and they're looking at patching? Also, that sunset with the clouds was great. The screenshot just doesn't do it justice. I still get amazed by the visuals.

jammyozzy posted:IMO it absolutely whips rear end. I was in the same boat as you, decided to try it and now I'm not sure I can go back. Having charts for all the procedures you could want and having them be properly synchronised between the sim, whatever planning software you use and the actual chart you're looking at is wonderful. Stupid question: I have an android tablet which I never use. Is it possible to install it on that and have it on the next next to me when I fly? I'd rather not have open windows on the screen or have to tab between screens.
