It's cool to see how badly these unexpected failures go. I've flown on single engine and dead stick many times and thought I was pretty rad at it. But if I didn't expect it and it happened when I was concentrating on something else, I would probably not understand what was going on. Pretty similar to many real world events, which reflects well on the sim setup.

Simming is good for radio work if you use Pilotedge (use Pilotedge)

You can set the failure probability per-flight when you set up the career, and it's actually random compared to the stock FSX failures, so you have to keep an eye out for them. Stock FSX, you know that 1:25 into the flight you're going to lose a particular system because you selected the system and the time; FSPassengers will dock you for not rejecting a takeoff due to uneven thrust because you didn't check for it.

Oh well I wish the developer would sell it to someone else if he's not going to bother with developing it any more. It's very well done for a guy-in-his-basement add-on from years ago, but it has some issues like the tire blow-outs and your compatibility issues that are never going to be fixed as long as he's holding it.

So I played around with xp11 and the GPS for the baron seems to be off, the 1/2 circle with the +/- on it doesn't seem to work and I have to basically search and scroll to find the actual activation areas, anyone else having this issue?

Do you fly mostly XP10 or XP11? I might get xEnviro if it works with XP11.

Just to let you all know P3D v4 is definitely a thing as Aerosoft has leaked a screenshot of the icon. It's rumored to be 64bit and backwards compatible with 32bit addons, so don't buy v3. I also tried the X-plane demo and got 20fps so I doubt I'll be buying that.

If that's true, I may slowly return to flightsimming. Still mad about PMDG's stupidness, but I suppose there are other things.

Is $450 for a Thrustmaster Warthog Flight Stick a good deal if it includes some pedals? Newegg has this deal going on that comes with the TFRP T.flight pedals: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826280021&ignorebbr=1

Not really, no. They've go on sale as low as $300. Also, I can't find anywhere that says the pedals are included.

Haha welp woke up early decided to fire up P3D for a change and apparently Windows 10 decided to toss my joystick order out the window. gently caress this. EDIT: oh look it resets it on reboot to a different order. WELP. EDIT2: Found a particular set and order of hoops to jump through to fix it. Involves going in to both the Devices app and the Device Manager and removing the sticks in the app then scanning for hardware changes in the devmgr to get them out and back in in the right order. The trick is with the CH controllers you have to guess which HID-compliant game controller is which, uninstall it AND the named entry, then scan for changes. Pain in the loving rear end but it works.

Oh well I was able to get FSPassengers to work with FSX and Windows 10 by installing FSX into the main C directory (C:\FSX) to bypass the Windows permissions in the Programs directories. Unfortunately I just can't get it to cooperate with the new PMDG 747, but it appears to work just fine with the 737 and 777, although I just realized I haven't tried it yet with the MD11 or the Majestic Q400. Also, gently caress everything about avsim, it's a goddamn cesspool of retardation. two_beer_bishes fucked around with this message at 16:23 on Mar 8, 2017 |

You have to buy it completely new. I don't mind paying "something" for their time to convert whatever changes were needed, but paying the full price when I alreayd did that to compensate them for their development time is insane. It isn't like they built the P3D versions from scratch.

Yeah, aside from poo poo like "How does ILS work!?" it takes up way more space, and it's unecessary. You'd end up only using the parts of the runway that face the directions runways already face. Plus he has all these exceptions, like noise abatement and whatever, so that planes can fly in any direction, except the point is they can't.

Yeah. We're going to fix the problem of crosswinds by making every operation have a crosswind component at different points along the takeoff/landing roll.

The real question is what if you spin up your circular runway so that it reaches takeoff speed?

A big difference between a flightsim and flying a plane, I am told, is that there's no seat-of-the-pants feeling of how the plane is moving. Instead you have to rely on your view of the world and your instruments. Is there a flightsim or mod that tries to fix this, perhaps at the cost of pure visual fidelity? E.g., you have some exaggerated visual effect to show the difference between the Gs you are feeling and 1G straight down through your seat, such as moving the camera or adding blur along a particular direction. (Of course, lots of games have effects like this for very high Gs.) Or you could add physically modelled fuzzy dice; or just an enourmous onscreen arrow. I have accufeel for FSX, but it doesn't seem to do much.

There really isn't anything you can do to a desktop flight sim setup to make it not feel like you're sitting at a desk while your computer makes airplane sounds at you. There are better controls, radio stacks, force feedback etc but for what you're describing no, not really.

A VR headset and a full motion chair will do that. Enjoy paying $1000 for the former and $50k for the latter.

The Vive is only $700. Of course, you can't see your own flight controls in VR, so that won't help much. Really you just need to build your own motion-controlled flight simulator for a couple hundred grand. E: Or, you know, buy an actual airplane at that point.

The same happened with il-2 1946, it came quite a long way since the last official patch (I think 4-5 pretty major patches, plus some fixes), so this isn't a first for 1c. Now if only they patched VR in, pre-missile air combat is the perfect scenario for it.

I got FSX working with FlyInside on my Rift, and it is pretty damned amazing. I haven't touched FSX in five years or so (and have always been super casual) so I get a bit lost looking at the million add ons available. I heard that it's possible to integrate google earth data? And if not that, what is the (easiest) way to get the game looking better?
