I fire it up every few days to keep FSE going and help pay for my friends aircraft and our FBO network but drat is it frustrating to try to do anything properly in this game.

Steadiman posted: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 Yep, me too. Game is impossible to enjoy for me right now

“This is the place to get pay ware and mods from launch” sure but are there any mods or payware worth a poo poo aside from that GitHub? The Japan add on was about the biggest one and was the marketplace exclusive. Just pay key developers to be a marketplace exclusive and market those when they’re available. But it’s all kind of a joke when the basics are so broken they’re delaying patches.

Shipon posted:I don't think people realize or care how bad it makes them look when they cry and whine when a new bug pops up instead of matter-of-factly stating the bug that happens with constructive information on what their circumstances were. Can't imagine a dev really wants to put effort into a bug when someone screams that the game is useless and a waste of money when the AP wobbles a bit from side to side. holy poo poo thinking any of this matters also incredible thinking that half of these bugs require any sort of “constructive information”, even though it does exist in the bug tracker they’re professionals and presumably have an ounce of pride in their sim and want it to be right. that may be too big of an assumption but just my opinion.

Many approaches won’t require radar vectors. Flight plan your SID and STAR based on real world routings and expect ATC to issue “climb vis SID” and “descend via the arrival” and you’ll be far more realistic than waiting for stuff to populate or be turned to the airport.

skooma512 posted: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. What’s your definition of pattern? 30nm is pretty far out. For HNL arrivals from the mainland when landing north east, you will swing across the eastern edge of the island, head south west into the pattern then a 180 turn to final. Example: https://flightaware.com/live/flight/DAL483/history/20201129/0205Z/KLAX/PHNL Yeah the ILS for 04 is a dme arc, so that makes sense. 08 is definitely going to have you fly over the island to pick it up. Why fly ILS into Honolulu though? It’s a beauty to fly visual sellouts fucked around with this message at 20:50 on Nov 29, 2020 |

Anime Store Adventure posted:This is really quality thought about what one these “progression” sims should look like. GA and Tube are two distinctly different games for me: I like to fly tubes when I have something that can be done during cruise- laundry, cleaning up a little, etc., and I like flying GA when I want an actual, more hands on experience of flying. Almost all of the current offerings kind of assume that GA is a punishment for not flying tubes and it’s weird, but it does track with my experience of folks who play commercial sims. Their loss. 100%. You said it better than I could. I was preparing to load this back up after taking a break and I saw that they broke flaps and it just reset my urge.

Lord Stimperor posted:How do you do a steep approach like the 5.5 degrees at London City? It's hard if not impossible to lose speed while descending that fast. So I guess you have to descend at the absolute minimum speed you can? What aircraft are you in? Probably a problem with dodgy physics but really only a few jet aircraft are capable of landing there due to the steep approach. The A318 had extra spoilers and had a light (32 seat) load. I’d probably just ride full spoilers down to 3000, dump gear and be fully configured for landing 5.0 DME knowing that when you hit 3.4 DME you’re going to be dropping like a rock. If you’re taking 28 in I’d use the outbound leg to slow level at 3000 or 2000 and when you turn to final you’ll be ready to go. Edit: also I think the approach charts have some speed limited points to help with your planning. drat I loved flying into and out of that airport. sellouts fucked around with this message at 15:17 on Sep 4, 2021 |

learn to follow ifr procedures and use climb via sid departures and you’re halfway there. If there aren’t altitude restrictions on the climb you’re probably just cleared to certain altitudes because of limitations of airspace for different atc. Arrivals similar, Descend via star, pick a transition, vector to faf and ils in until you’re clear visual. I really don’t get the need for simulated atc when there’s plenty to do in flight if you take automation out of the mix and want to learn really how to plan a flight and hand fly it.

what plane are you flying that will go into a spin if you mess up an approach? What’s missing for your ability to fly rnav?

Yeah, thanks I’m happy I haven’t picked it up in months. I thought the cirrus thing was bad piloting / people with money and not training but I guess would be a good thing to simulate! Is hand flying rnav approaches not allowed? Or just the automation that’s hosed?

So it’s not just automation but an issue with gps data or the representation itself, got it. What a mess.

Less arcade and more simulator in my Microsoft flight simulator please. I do like the older vintage planes and mission based stuff, that’s neat. Analog gauges seems like something people will waste time with once and not worth it if you don’t like the aircraft already. I think there’s a casual and advanced balance that’s possible but I’m glad folks are having fun with it.
