I have seen nothing on it I've heard rumors that the Airbus pack has some major design deficiencies (detents not lining up with the detents in the throttle axis ingame) so it's super embargoed right now.

I jumped on this as fast as possible, for some reason there's a glut of T16000m dual joysticks but the throttles are hard to find. I've been just using the FCS for the past few weeks and it's been agonizing.

Really? poo poo. Maybe I'll buy this throttle then. Way better than just flying with my 3d extreme and will probably satisfy the craving I have for the Honeycomb stuff. Hopefully I can pick up the matching flight stick before the years over too

Cojawfee posted:Having a trim wheel on my t16000 hotas is pretty nice. But I do sometimes accidentally spin it when putting my hand on the throttle and my plane suddenly noses down. I had that mapped too at first but it seemed way too twitchy. Like, I generally only need a degree or two one way or the other, but one notch over and my pitch is 10 degrees from the horizon. Now the dial is the speed brake and I just trim with the hat. Also the slider on the stick is mapped to trim for me, but I don't really use it unless I want to correct the autopilot going stupid because it too, is way too much too fast.

I had issues until I realized that the game was putting a deadzone on it. I removed the deadzone, since there isn't a centering spring, and then I flattened the curve a bit and it's great now.

Europe update patch notes: -added 40 custom airports in Europe -added 60 new hand crafted landmarks and surrounding scenery Known issues: -flying below 3000ft or above 5000ft in Europe results in a crash Workaround: set clock to 12:00 utc and count backwards from 10 after starting the battery and then open the VFR map twice -autopilot tries to fly you exclusively to Toronto Billy Bishop whenever enabled -workaround: plan flights that end in Toronto

It wasn't out of the box for me, but silicone grease on the rails and fime tuning the tension and it's great. Smooth, but not jumpy, but will stay put where you left it.

I've been bush flying in the jungles of Papua New Guinea this evening. It's really beautiful and there are tons of interesting bush airstrips. All of the airstrips I've tried so far can be landed on with a Cessna 208 Grand Caravan (unladen). But they may require coming in at 55 knots with full flaps while forward slipping over a bunch of trees. At least one of them has bugged terrain which makes it extra spicy, some have alternative landing spots nearby (roads, dry river beds). There are clusters where air strips are just a few miles apart. Would anyone be interested in a bush rally? We could start at the aptly named WANX or WANK (better name, further away) air strips. Below are some notes I took during flight if that helps anyone. quote:Airplane: Cessna 208 Grand Caravan

My friend said the map data actually regressed and got even older. He's in the Bay Area. I saw somewhere the next world update is USA and you can apply to be a VR tester, but it requires a WMR headset.

I think I asked which direction wind is supposed to go right when the previous thread ended and it wasn't answered. I wouldn't be surprised if it's backwards. I was trying to prepare for crosswind landings and I thought I had to point the wrong way.

gently caress I forgot about not opening the VFR map. I should unbind the V key. Crashed instantly. I was all set up to go VOR hopping. It's probably hard to see via Imgur but the PFD and windsock are in complete opposite directions. I didn't think the wind was at my back for the takeoff but I'm not that good that I would really know for sure :P

I don't know if it works for every plane, but it works for the cub. You can tell which way the wind is blowing by going into the third person camera. The camera always points in the direction you are traveling. If you are flying into a crosswind, your plane rotates into the wind a bit, and causes you to look at it slightly from the side. I had a strong enough crosswind once that I went into third person and my plane was pointed about 20 degrees to the right and I was sliding sideways above the ground pretty much. I was flying along off to the left of the highway. I was pointed at the highway but kept flying alongside it.

There's going to be 2 phases of the VR Beta test, phase 1 is for people with a WMR headset (so basically nobody) and phase 2 is for anyone else. Though you're not guaranteed to get in which sucks, also I'm not sure if you can get into the VR beta if you have a Steam copy.

Scarecow posted:how the hell are they going to get VR to be not a vomit inducing ride? Fwiw my Xplane VR ran like dogshit for framerate and it never once got me sick. And as a “control” - onward and some other VR experiences definitely got me sick every time, so it’s not like I was immune. I don’t know enough about both the brain trickery and the VR implementation to know how to avoid it, but I’d think they can find a way Other than the fact that enabling VR will cause a crash whenever you look over your right shoulder more than 120 degrees and probably some other entirely bizarre bugs that’ll persist through a ton of VR patches like that.

I honestly have no clue how VR is going to handle since I can't even keep a steady 60 at decent settings. There must be some wizardry happening or they're just going to dumb everything down to as basic as possible in order for you to keep a steady, high frame rate. Right now Star Wars Squadrons has VR performance issues and as fun as it is it's kinda nauseating for me. I know I'm not dogfighting in MSFS2020 but I'd still like the FPS to be as high as possible.

Charles posted:Correct. Either the windsock is incorrect, or the PFD is AND tower is giving me the wrong runway. Today I tried my Aspen crosswind deathride again. I set the wind at 61 degrees, and the arrow was pointing west-southwest. This is what I saw last time when I set that in the weather. I guess the arrow points into the wind. I was departing facing south-southeast. The windsock was on my right and pointed leftwards. The crosswind was coming from the right. So the sock was filling up in the direction that was also hitting the plane. Takeoff and landing was consistent with the crosswind coming from the right as well. In other news, I think I figured out a lot of the crazy poo poo that would happen to me in takeoff probably came from live weather or other settings where I had a crosswind I didn't pay attention too. One wing would start to lift up. I couldn't tell if it was TBM shenanigans. I had taken to pushing the plane down to make sure it was hugging the runway until proper rotate speed. It seemed like a few times where I really pushed it down that it would just start rolling around like it was trying to get out of bed. I'll be doing some experiments with no wind and with a light crosswind to see what messes with it. Also, I need to keep messing around with wind.

Stringent posted:p much everyone who plays vr sims (dcs) uses an hp reverb (wmr) "Everyone" is stretching it, but the combination of room scale/hand controllers not mattering, and high resolution panels has made WMR popular in flight sims. Going from vive to reverb was amazing, I could suddenly read all the dials.
