Every update really does break something  Like, a CTD on a core feature is not ok, it's not something you put at the end of your changelog like teehee yeah just avoid the VFR map, see you in 2 weeks! It's not an internal beta, you can't expect end users to workaround issues they may not know about because not everyone reads changelogs.

Steadiman posted:Agree with all of this, it's certainly off to a promising start though. And I am enjoying flying with a purpose, just wish relocating wasn't so insanely expensive. To me the biggest advantage of this particular program is not having to register to anything, it's what's kept me away from FSE in particular. I hope they develop this further because it is a good bit of fun I've been wanting to join FSE for a month but the signups have been down

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.

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? 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.

Probably, but I'm perfectly happy with 2D and don't want to spend the entire cost of my computer again for a headset that's going to be obsolete in 3 years, plus better video card to actually run the headset. Though I totally understand the appeal for those that do it. It sounds sick.

I was flying a 152 and having some fun going to Catalina. I'm going to land and my engine quits. It's out of gas because it's only drawing from the right tank, but this is a Cessna 152 and it doesn't have a tank selector equipped. I think they both just feed into the engine by gravity. Someone said to map the selector to a keyboard key, and it worked, but c'mon man. The Cessna is supposed to be the most simple and you go and make a phantom selector switch?

Mandibular Fiasco posted:It's been at least 15 years since I logged time in a Cessna 152, but I seem to recall there was no fuel selector It was either open or closed and was gravity fed from the two wing tanks. I looked all over the cockpit for a selector lever, and people on some other forum say the same as you: There are two fuel tanks but they drain equally and without any way for the pilot to select them.

 But anyway, yeah there is the valve under the seat and it was open, but there's no way to select the left tank because that plane doesn't have a selector, all the gas is fair game or none of it is. Also got my FSE account approved! Made a 1500 bux flying passenger from Pendleton to San Diego. I like making numbers go up so this will be awesome. I might do FSE poo poo in FSX just because it's more stable and complete.

https://www.flightsimulator.com/october-8th-2020-development-update/  I mean, the transparency is nice. But the pitch oscillation fix is next month? AP won't be fixed till loving December?  Don't make me hate you MFS, loving you is hard enough.

Soy Division posted:The pitch oscillation bug is game breaking for me, so I guess I won't be picking this up again for a while. Utterly ruins realism to have to turn off autopilot constantly because it's causing 10-15 degree pitch oscillations. To make matters worse if you're using OnAir you'll probably get a "G Force Excess" penalty that fucks up your reputation and causes airframe damage. There’s no way I’m doing long distances if I can’t use any time compression or autopilot

I do altitude hold until it levels out at VS=0, and then turn off all altitude keeping AP functions. The plane tends stay steady. Airbus is even easier since the plane autotrims all the time anyway.

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.

Sagebrush posted:Just for clarification. It is super rewarding to be able to do stuff like go out over the coast, pull back the power and trim the plane up for 60 knots, open the window, and just putter along with your arm in the breeze looking at the waves and the boats and the motorcycles going by on the twisty roads, lazily steering around clouds as they drift by like icebergs. All your problems are at least several thousand feet away. Just 12K? Flight time and all? Middle class could do it, especially if that was their number one focus. There are people like that in every expensive hobby (horses, planes, track racing, boats) , they make just enough to be in the game and probably can't afford it, but it's their passion and their main thing, and some even center their whole lives around it. I read Alex Honnold's book (the Free Solo guy) and he literally lives in a van just so he can climb all day. Kind of tempting actually. Not even to fully get the license, but lessons as an excuse to go get actual stick time.

Thanks for the write up! As for lead, I got real scared of it after reading about it related to shooting. The body treats it like calcium, so it'll deposit in bones. This is why it's especially bad for kids, because of their bone growth. There was a case of a kid in Flint IIRC that was fine, broke a bone doing kid stuff, and pretty much immediately became mentally disabled  . The lead stored in her bones went into her blood and went to her brain. There's no easy way to get it out either. I'm glad COVID is normalizing masks and I can go to the range in the P100 respirator I got for that 5 years ago.

Flew off from Denver to some muni field in Oklahoma with someone's D&D group in FSeconomy. Rented a TBM for it, thought I did everything right, turns out I didn't load the passengers, but I still moved the plane as far as FSE is concerned. I'm out 900 planedollars for this misadventure.

I made a mistake, I landed at the wrong airport lol. I think I was too zoomed out in the GPS. My passengers are still there with me, in the wrong airport. I'm going to the right one now. So that's flying inebriated and distracted as well as not following my flight plan. Off to pilot jail. Edit: Finished the flight in the correct place and got my money. But seriously, the pax had names like 1 Maiden of the Spear. skooma512 fucked around with this message at 03:21 on Oct 26, 2020 |

Anime Store Adventure posted:I think there's a way - in theory, but absolutely not in any way they'd try. I think it's truly a case of "If you build it [correctly], they will come." You don't need to make it a huge walled garden, just a good platform for developers (payware or free mods) and a better platform for users. Some people will still gently caress off to various poo poo FsMods2020.lt like Truck Sim or it's ilk, but if you center the community somewhere you'll get the lion's share of good content. I remember when Arma 3 came out with workshop support. In Arma 2 and back you had all kinds of random sites hosting mods. Cobbled together installers and updaters for core mods like Six Updater. Then the workshop came out and all that poo poo just went to Steam. We're not limited by hosting because it's not just some Czech guy's fan site or beholden to rickety homebrew installers that barely work.

I also was doing alt-tabbed runs for FSE during a Zoom call. The weather over the rockies was horrible. I saw a big red blob on radar and 45 knot winds and I went down way lower, even went around the cell like a good pilot. Then I find the destination is a grass airstrip (Flying the TBM 930) and I went in too fast.

The premium edition upgrade (as in, without the full version which you already should have) in the store is also somehow more expensive than if you bought the whole thing from the start  Idk if they think my copy is still gamepass or they priced it with GP in mind, but I have a standard license now. You would pay like 140 if you got the standard edition and then upgraded in the store later.

piratepilates posted:Is there any literature or research of damage suffered to engines historically? I'd imagine it's easy enough to just randomly choose between: What if you just told them you totally did it, lock down the source code, and absorb the kudos? Unless the game has a mechanic feature (upcoming DLC), it's not like they can get out and look.

I think this is how The Sims 3 fried video cards too back in the day. Since there's nothing to render the GPU would just run frames into infinity and make them redlined on the menu screens.

I can barely read the gauges on 2D lol. If I zoom in I lose situational awareness outside. But then again for civil aviation, I should probably stop worrying about what's out there anyway, although landing with the instruments visible would be nice.

slidebite posted:Thanks for that info on the 320. I guess it is what it is. I do have the 787 and I don't think I've even tried it yet. In the older MSFS I liked the 737 even though I know the model was pretty I did an ILS into Honolulu and it was a poo poo show. They were having me in their pattern at 7000, dropped me to 4200 and 2000 while loving turning all within like 30 nm in an Airbus. I can't imagine the actual airspace requiring airliners to overfly the landmass and turn around when you can have the plane out to sea right until it actually lands.
