Trying to taxi a B-17 with a locked tail wheel would certainly be interesting.

I think there were at least one or two projects where the original source code for European Air War had been obtained and updated. I gather that EAW came out 2 years before B-17 Flying Fortress: The Mighty 8th, but are the community updates decent?

You know what's awesome? The fact that now when I'm in FSX/P3D and something pisses me off, I now know how to muddle my way through fixing it. You know what sucks? The fact that now when I'm in FSX/P3D and something pisses me off, instead of thinking 'welp, I'll just fly a different plane' I now spend loving hours muddling my way through fixing it.

FYI one of the things I learned fairly early on is why so often when you switch from one plane to another it won't start; Even if a plane doesn't have a control doesn't mean it won't necessarily work if you have a binding for it or if it was set in one plane and you switch to another, it'll still be set even if it doesn't actually exist in your new plane. This includes things like fuel cutoff valves. Easiest way around this TBH is to Ctrl + E your plane to autostart it. If you want to full sperg after that you can cold/dark the plane.

So I thought I'd finally jump on the OrbX support page to get some help but it seems to be offline. They haven't skipped the planet with my money have they? I have Prepar3D 2.5 and I've bought the Global, Global Vector, Australia region and European LC pack. All installed okay except for the European LC pack which threw up a general exception error claiming it couldn't find terrain.cfg during installation. When I open FX Central 2 it list the other three as installed and working but lists Euro LC as uninstalled. Thing is I think it may be working, as the loading times dramatically increased when I am flying in Europe. Just driving me a bit nuts not knowing for sure, though, as the terrain has been greatly improved by the Global packs. Also I bought the 777 from PMDG which installed without a hitch. When I try to fly the plane in Create Scenario mode the engine isn't on and I can't use any of the buttons. I am positive everything is up to date and that I downloaded the correct version of the aircraft. Reason I bought all this stuff is that I saw this video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PYJNEeVoRZA Now that looks like a whole lot of fun to me. I would like to be able to have a quick bash at the 777 though.

It is broken up into 10 parts but it runs into SEVERAL HOURS long. Like, 3 or 4 I think. Motors off, canopy open, power off.

I bought Over Flanders Fields a while back, it's pretty cool but then I reformatted etc and my download link from the store they used had expired, so recently I emailed them about getting a new link and they replied that I had to pay a 5 USD 'donation' to get a new link. After I spent 36 quid originally on the game, gently caress that. Also they have an expansion that is more expensive than the base game and includes a bunch of poo poo they could've just patched into the game but nope, 2.0 baby, all support for the base game without the expansion dropped. Basically gently caress them, they represent all that is bad about old school grognard type developers.

What do you fly normally? XP10 is my go to for GA aircraft, especially night vfr. I love the stock baron and now the stock 430 gps is pretty good too. If someone would take the lancair legacy from fsx and port it to xp10 I would be so happy. If you want Boeing jets, stick with fsx / p3d. The jets on xp10 kind of stink unless they're the 737-200 and 727-200, both are giant /A aircraft with no fancy fmc

There's a few very nice payware 747-8 / 757 / 777 and 787 addons with 3D cockpits, systems modeling, FMS, etc.

Noctis Horrendae posted:Is X-Plane 10 any good? Are there any decent X55 profiles out there? I hate configuring controls. Yes. No, and I will admit configuring controls in XP can be a total pain in the rear end, but once you get it set up properly and to your liking there is never a need to go back and gently caress with it. And I wouldn't call the default FMS in x-plane an FMS... it's more like a GPS with a keyboard. Thankfully, there is UFMC, though it is $30 (and you need to pay another $30 to get it to work with the otherwise free, and kick-rear end, 737-800)

Noctis Horrendae posted:Is X-Plane 10 any good? Are there any decent X55 profiles out there? I hate configuring controls. I'm sure they're out there It depends on what you want out of a flight sim. If you are more into the PMDG Heavy iron and spending assloads on addons, then P3D is probably the best thing going and will have the bulk of the FSX crowd. Downside is Lockmart could potentially enforce the no fun clause if dovetail wanted to bitch enough (But lol at the idea of dovetail lawyers going against lockmarts legal department). X-Plane excels at flight models and the awesome free scenery http://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?app=downloads&showfile=24953 Search for anything by this guy or Fred-e. The payware for X-Plane is mostly bad, you often pay more for less then you would for comparable P3D product. That being said, there are a few good ones. JarDesigns and Flight-Factor both put out near PMDG level products and theres Fly J Sim for well done old fasioned jets. Caranado also makes good GA stuff for both so no issue there. Supposedly X-Plane does Rotor stuff way better as well but I've never done it. I think more than any point in flightsimming history, you're good either way you go honestly. As long as you don't buy a dovetail product.

The rest appear to be as well. Same goes for the A320 and even the Crj-200 which is a fun little jet but the fms has very basic flaws on certain procedures that are just bullshit.

The upcoming XPlane patch will now pull winds aloft data from the internet and low level wind shear stuff from METARs if you have the real weather thing turned on. That seems pretty cool to me at least but maybe other sims already do this? http://www.x-plane.com/?article=x-plane-10-40-release-notes Also: quote:So this is cool: Now we now know which failures are allowed to fail RANDOMLY! (No, wings do not just fall off, and control locks do not just fall into place in flight!) So, the random failures option will fail stuff like engines and electrical systems and controls surfaces: Things that might actually fail in flight for no known reason… but the wings will not just fall off. Did wings really fall off randomly before because that would be hilarious

It's cool that XP10 now includes it natively, though.

Omi no Kami posted:Should I get anything from DCS while it's all on flash sale? I'm highly tempted by the Huey... If you're interested in the Huey or helicopters in general, I'd say definitely go for it. It's the most realistic helicopter flight sim you can buy afaik and it's a lot of fun to learn. There are quite a few missions available for it and the included campaign is pretty decent. Pedals are ideal, but if you don't have them a joystick with a twist grip or a hat switch works well too. If you have none of the above you can just use the keyboard, which is a bit harder but still manageable with practice.

Is there any kind of campaign/mission editor included? Replayability's the only thing I'm really concerned about, a linear campaign kinda bugs me even if it is with a great flight model.

Yeah, DCS has a mission & campaign maker. But it is pretty clunky and tends to break one way or another with every patch.
