Combat Pretzel posted:Hmmm, really? I was just surprised, because when I went to the main menu, the sky and airport were relatively busy, when I hopped immediately back in, there were suddenly just only six other nametags. Oh that's weird. I think there's probably other weirdness with the network code that can happen. It's definitely not pure instance based, judging by how I've heard other people describe the system and also my own experience in large group flights with streamers where everyone sees different people from the one big group.

Is there an auto setting for what regional server you connect to? It might be that it switched servers on you.

Shogunner posted:Watching reviews for the TWCS throttle and everyone's saying it's slide function is notchy / not smooth. Any of you having the same issue? Hey I got the throttle and they're correct about that. The throttle slides along metal rails on matte plastic brackets and the friction makes it not so nice, the unit actually shifts a little when you're trying to get over the initial friction. What I did was open it up and cover the plastic that touches the rails with smooth packing tape, after cleaning off the minimal amount of grease on the plastic. It was pretty easy, took me about 30 minutes and now it feels much nicer.

What kind of packing tape? Like a matte tape? Seems like glossy packing tape would be sticky too. I just put some grease on the rails and it's doing ok so far.

I mean the back part seems like it can have a lot of friction, but maybe not against metal.

EDDL ATC sends me to the runway via taxiways C-A, my virtual copilot confirms C-D-C-A-C-A instead and the route goes unnecessarily part over the runway.

Sagebrush posted:God loving DAMMIT there is an entire chapter in the FAR just about special regulations in and around Grand Canyon National Park!! I'm not gonna tell you what I did there but I was a naughty boy Sagebrush posted:Two possibilities: Thanks for the detailed insight. It can't be the frequency spacing I think; if you scroll through the Garmin menus, it lists the spacing as 8.3khz. So I guess they really got the frequencies wrong. It's probably very banal and trivial but I can't help to wonder how that happened since I thought getting the frequencies in game was just a matter of scraping some public or licensed database. If i put on my detective cap, I could probably figure out some of the game's most uninteresting making-of/development trivia by finding the origin of these these errors. (I bet it's something lame like a problem with importing csv files from some vendor)

Regarding VKB orders, I placed my order on 10/2, knowing that VKB HQ was closed for a Chinese holiday. They said they'd resume shipping on 10/12, and I just got the shipping notice today, with delivery scheduled for Wednesday. I can't speak for their order backlog on entire joysticks, but yeah, there was no delay (aside from the holiday) in getting the KOSMOSIMA Gunfighter grip shipped.

Uh, so the mach bug on the 78X, does it break drag simulation? I've been going 320kn at 10500ft, then did a controlled dive to 1500ft because I wanted to see who was at a local airport, and then the plane coasted around 240-250kn at +/- 0FPM VS and it barely shed speed. I was controlling thrust manually, and engines were at idle. --edit: Right now I'm descending at 1400FPM, with 260kn, but according to the artificial horizon, I'm not even at -0.5° and the plane doesn't shed speed either with engines at idle.

If you said that gravity was set to moon gravity and that all aircraft now had hello kitty interiors I would absolutely believe it because anything is possible with this horrible, horrible development team.

NEW FEATURES: - Added train traffic to surface vehicles implementation - Added special animation when lightning strikes a train KNOWN ISSUES: - Game crashes when lightning strikes a train - Trains occasionally spawn on taxiways - Too many visible trains may crash the game. Workaround: Play in ~10 mile IMC in order to constrain draw distance. A fix is targeted for the January 2021 feature release. - Surface traffic configuration option is inoperable

I noticed a new loading swirl on my last flight. That was before the camera glitched and I CTD'd before getting onto approach. I wouldn't be surprised if development focus was on getting this done for the XBox before the Series X hits shelves. Or at least in time for Xmas.

I remember reading in the most recent patch notes that they changed something about when the lightning stuff gets triggered but, as a result, I now seem to have lightning and thunder on every flight. It's a super cool effect but on a clear blue sky with just a few cirrus clouds lazily drifting around, it's a bit much. Is anyone else experiencing the constant wrath of Thor? Or did I just anger the gods

KNOWN ISSUES: - Travelling at speeds exceeding Mach 0.85 may cause ATC Center frequencies start repeatedly transmitting "LIBERATE TUTEME EX INFERNIS", followed by a loss of all in-game lighting and then an application crash.

I was on descent into the Kennedy Space Center shuttle landing strip in the Airbus  I was trying to figure out how to set the ILS with my head down in the panels when the game abruptly ended saying I crashed into an object.What object? I was still FL300 over the Gulf of Mexico and there are no midair collisions or bird strikes modeled. Gonna load that flight again tonight and see if I can replicate it, but if it was another player or live traffic that I clobbered obviously I can't recreate that bit.

You can't collide with any planes, player or AI. Which is good because neither of them are going to try to avoid hitting you.

Tonight I learned that using steam"s "verify file integrity" option to try and solve failed downloads from the japan pack is not a good thing to do. It nuked the entire install that the launcher pulled from Microsoft so I get to re-download the whole 100gb game again. At least my data cap resets in two days...

If SWS doesn't have a dead zone calibration, you can set it up using Joystick Gremlin and vJoy, then bind your actions in SWS to the virtual joystick. https://whitemagic.github.io/JoystickGremlin/ then the quickstart guide is here: https://whitemagic.github.io/JoystickGremlin/quickstart/. Amazon has the Logitech G Pro rudders on order for $168 (https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Pro-Flight-Rudder-Pedals/dp/B07R21FJD8/) shipping at the end of this month.

Plus big bucket thrust reversers and a gravel kit meant you could get in to all sorts of places other jets couldn't get. I have half a dozen hours in the 737-200 simulator and was it ever fun to fly. (Of course, as a private pilot, being in a simulator of anything with that much power would be fun to fly!)
