Colonial Air Force posted:SimBrief doesn't generate routes, it looks to see if someone else filed a route first and shows you that. What that means in your case is that the last person to file that route was a moron. SimRoutes generated the flight plan using bad previous user supplied data. It shouldn't do this if it's not going to give it even a cursory glance that its right. Especially on very common routes. It's lazy and perpetuates incorrect flight plans which only makes more work for controllers. Glad it works for you though!

Fltplan.com will do fuel and Weight and Balance for a lot of different planes. They can also add your plane if you have the figures and are willing to email them.sellouts posted:SimRoutes generated the flight plan using bad previous user supplied data.

That only does direct routings? Or is there an option for editing the route?
|
# ? Aug 20, 2013 21:05 |

I think it probably bases it off direct miles, but I always add a little extra to be safe. SimBrief.com seems like I won't need to fudge it so much now.

Bought the CS 727 for FSX during sale Xplane 10 has ruined me on FSXs flight model/graphics, especially compared to the flyjsim 727 I already own for XP10. Not to mention, none of the gauges work and it runs like total dogshit. Is there anyway to regift this thing? Edit: OK I'm a tard. Didn't have SP 2 installed.

So I upgraded my computer and decided to get DCS World (the LOMAC stuff always ran lovely on my old system). Fun! I enjoy flying the Su-25 around. I really want to fly the MiGs that come in Flaming Cliffs 3 though. Do I seriously need to buy a copy of the old game just so that I can install this $50 new version? I mean if FC3 were $20 or something then sure. But Why The Hell do you need to have the old game installed when they're charging as much as any other full sim? Is Flaming Cliffs 3 really worth 70 dollars + tax? Ugh.

I believe the generally accepted answer to that question (which should probably go in the OP) is: Because Ubisoft.

Im having trouble getting off the ramp in DCS-SU25T. I start the engine, close the hatch, and throttle up (confirmed by the in-cockpit throttle moving) and the plane doesnt move. The turbine speed gauge doesnt change, and the noise of the engine doesnt get any louder, what could be going on?
|
# ? Aug 22, 2013 14:59 |
|
Do you have throttle at zero when you start up and keep it there until the engines stabilize at around a third of their max RPM? Might cause problems otherwise.

They're releasing individual versions of the FC3 planes with upgraded flight models now, apparently in a large part to get around this. The only ones out so far are the Su-25 Classic and the A-10A, but the Eagle and Flanker are apparently on their way. They're like $15 each but DCS stuff seems to go on sale pretty regularly.

I have zero envy for that guy. The more passionate idiots on avsim.com must be aggravating as poo poo to deal with. When I came across some dork who matched up a youtube vid of a 737 NG pushing up throttles to the FSX 737 spooling and complained about inaccuracy was when I swore off those boards.

The AVSIM boards have a reputation for being the spergiest of gently caress clusters. Can't wait to get some shorthaul 777 flights in though, thinking Hong Kong - Singapore. I'm also hoping that the 777 increases VATSIM traffic over Asia somewhat, as the 777-200 is the workhorse of many SEA airlines. Diet Crack fucked around with this message at 08:47 on Aug 28, 2013 |

PFPX is out. $60 is a bit much for me and the usual activation/installer issues for a release but it looks slick. I still think the route generation will have flaws. I'll look at it after Christmas as money will be tapped out with 777.

Is there any way to disable buttons on a stick? With a few games it detects my X-45 three way slider/mode switches as being a button pressed down (which I guess it technically is, but most games ignore it) and thus rebinding controls can be a pain in the rear end. No, B-17 Flying Fortress: The Mighty 8th, I don't want every control rebound to 'button 28' or whatever. I guess I could always use joy2key or xpadder or something, but that takes some effort.
|
# ? Aug 29, 2013 20:22 |

I know on my stick the X52 (nonpro) the component software allows you to simply remove all 'bindings' from the button or control surface, and it then goes dead. So for instance I unbound my hat switches, because I use TrackIR. And then rebound them for other functions, all done from within the Saitek software

Anyone know a better solution for making games like Sleeping Dogs or UE3 games not think you have a stick permanently in one direction without unplugging the stick? If it's in the menus/camera/character will just constantly go in one direction. Disabling controller input only helps if I don't want to play with my 360 pad, which I do half the time. The Saitek taskbar icon doesn't have a disable/off button and it seems devices/controllers doesn't either. Unplugging/replugging is a hassle but so far it's the ONLY way.

Funny you should ask that, I've been bothering our flightsim goons in IRC because I was trying to load up a game where I'm always turning to the left. I was working off of this post: http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2773801 But I haven't had any luck. Let me know if you figure something out.

Alright so I really want to get into this whole flight sim thing but I'm seriously struggling with choosing my controllers. I'm half tempted to just go nuts and buy a warthog but I know that's a terrible idea if I ever decide to stop I'll have wasted a shitton of money. The few I've seen recommended all seem to have something that's either really annoying or just might break for no good reason. I want to buy some rudder pedals too... and a TrackIR 5 goddamnit guys this poo poo is expensive. Not counting the TrackIR 5, could I get something decent for 200$ (CAD) give or take? e: I want a hotas, not just a joystick Highblood fucked around with this message at 01:36 on Aug 30, 2013 |

For rudder pedals Amazon.ca just put these on sale, I literally have a set shipping to me now. For a ~200$ Joystick, you can't beat the X-52 pro http://www.amazon.ca/Mad-Catz-Saitek-Controller-PS34/dp/B000LQ4HTS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1377823969&sr=8-1&keywords=x52+pro. Don't bother with the regular X-52, it's build quality is pretty meh in comparison.

It's great that you wait patiently for weeks on end, then the store goes down due to overloading while all the AVSIM loving unpleasant spergfaces are flying around in their new 777's. This was an issue with the NGX and it took days.
