First Time Caller posted:Ended up finding that naturally with some fancy google searching the other day. Cancelled my Flight Velocity order (going on 10 weeks when they promised 2 weeks) and Xplane org shipped my order a few hours after I placed it. I placed my order about the same time I posted that. Looks like they had my order ready to ship yesterday and it went out today.

Honeycomb Yoke arrived yesterday. Did a couple of flights in MSFS and it's a significant upgrade from my CH Eclipse. Only issue I'm having is that I no longer have Throttle/Prop/Mix levers. I'm probably going to 3d Print a throttle box or quadrant to hold me over until Honeycomb Throttle comes available.

Did 2 short IFR flights today with the new patch: Bonanza has some weird AP issues going on. Wouldn't fly the selected Altitude and was consistently off by +/- 800 feet. Also the NAV mode seemed wonky, wouldn't fly the magenta line. On Approach (on an ILS no less) it was waaaaaaaaaaaay off center. TBM 930 on the other hand, no issues whatsoever with the AP. Both FLC and V/S worked perfectly with my selected altitude. NAV via FMS worked fine.

soggybagel posted:It would seem that the honeycomb throttle quadrant may be taking new orders at the beginning of February. The site lists them as sold out but with a new notice saying all orders placed will ship by February 6th and I've noticed other re-sellers listing new orders being available in mid march...so here's hoping we get a shot at a preorder soon. I was able to place a backorder, order with Adorama a couple weeks ago. Their site shows it as "On Backorder, Expected to arrive by 02/15/2021". Edit: Another place to keep an eye out is the X Plane org store. They had Alpha Yoke stock in October when all the other resellers were still sold out/back ordered and I was able to snag one then.

VATSIM, Pilot's Edge, POSCON, et al will always be better than any built in ATC that comes with a game. The 124th ATC mod was better than the default XP11 ATC but the bar is set really, REALLY low. Edit: Don't be this guy. If you don't have a rudimentary understanding of how the radios work, you're going to have a bad time. JayKay fucked around with this message at 15:09 on Feb 11, 2021 |

The WT CJ4 is probably the closest thing we have to a study level aircraft in MSFS2020... ...and it just keeps getting better. Seriously, between their discord and how-to videos on Youtube, it's legit.

Mandibular Fiasco posted:In fairness, his complaint is with the development team and the direction they've taken. The reviewer sounds like he's fully invested (or was), so to me there's two possibilities. One, he's bonkers and shouldn't be listened to; or two, the developers are incompetent crazy people who won't listen to anyone. Truth probably in the middle somewhere (I'd lean towards the developers). I busted a$# to even get the devs to take a look at a few samples to prove some very obvious game breaking bugs that were about to be released to stable… Those ended up getting fixed… but the next week when I went to provide more feedback I was muted on the official discord… and then banned after being unmuted for saying that I got muted for feedback… I'm leaning more towards the bonkers side

PT6A posted:So, I gather some of you have probably run into the same problem I'm having: what is a good chair to get without wheels so that, when you press rudder pedals, you don't simply gently caress off backward across the room? I'm using a dining chair at the moment, but I don't love it compared to my office chair, which would be fantastic but for the wheels. I just started using these to keep my chair in place. Just one of them placed in the front works great.

In another episode of "It Came from Reddit" SimWorks Studios and Milviz are being hounded because their flight models are 'too realistic' and 'not fun' The issue has to do with flap speeds and failures and apparently people don't like that. Reminds me a bit of the Spitfire thing posted earlier. Edit: Ok, this seems to shed a bit more light. And the general thread seems to have become a slap fight between "Sims and Gamers" quote:The problem is that Simworks said themselves that they don't have hard data on when it breaks as the number varies due to so many factors. Also, their implementation ignore the sim realism setting so it can cause a lot of confusion (not really their fault though). I think rolling back this particular feature makes sense for the time being until the sim gives more detailed control on damage modeling. quote:People seem not to be reading the actual post. Most sim fans should be happy for the reversion. They had hard coded an automated flaps retract into the sim (not a feature of the actual plane). They also added an unavoidable failure that kicked at a specific speed (rather than some more realistic combination of factors)... JayKay fucked around with this message at 20:25 on Apr 5, 2021 |

My Honeycomb Bravo arrived yesterday. Overall I'm impressed, my only real knock is that the knobs on both the GA and Commercial levers are way smaller than I expected. My only real beef is that the setup in MSFS 2020 is a loving pain in the balls, but that's more of a MSFS issue. Setting it up in X-Plane 11 was stupid simple.

And now my MSFS2020 keeps CTD'ing once I get loaded in and hit "Ready to Fly", goddammit. Different airplanes, different airports, same CTD. Even tried clearing out my Community folder just in case it was a mod issue, no dice.

They even include screen shots showing the gauges so buyers can see BEFORE buying it. One or two people buy it, then don’t like it, and come to the forums to rip the plane apart, rip the developer apart, and basically insult any one and every one who ever bought a CS product… Give me a break! It is a $30 plane…$30!!! You can’t buy a steak dinner for $30, and for that money with CS you get a fully flyable airliner complete with multiple liveries, not to mention future updates as time permits. I read every post on this thread and it seems a lot of people’s memories are rather short re: FSX and every single developer back then whose every product (including PMDG) were released with issues and took months (if ever) to correct them. Simple solution…if you don’t like CS then don’t buy! I am off to fly my new United 777…see ya on the ramp. lol Edit: This one made me chuckle quote:New 777 by Captain Sim…ple.

I spent my weekend disassembling my Bravo Throttle Quadrant to fix the first throttle axis (the speed brake/one closest to the trim wheel) after it broke. I'll post my write up later but I'll just say I have some serious concerns about longevity when it comes to this thing.

I think I finally got my MSFS 2020 CTD issues under control. It appeared to be somewhat connected to the AMD Adrenaline software/drivers (go figure) and their "automatic" settings. I switched it over to manual control with a slight overlock and slight undervolt and the CTD's without error messages have disappeared. I still get the very occasional stutter where things drop to 1 FPS for a few seconds but things then catch back up. Overall performance seems to be decent/stable. I'm at 1440p, Ultra settings and getting 30ish in major cities and 50+ at cruise or non-urban areas. Currently doing a flight in the WT CJ4, I'm at FL400 over Texas at 45-55 FPS. The biggest thing for me though is that it doesn't CTD. For reference, R5 3600, 6800XT, 32 GB of DDR4-3600.

PT6A posted:Yeah, basically my issue with the 530 and the G1000 is that they are essentially unusable to fly the way you would expect to fly in real life. This has been one of my biggest gripes coming from XP11. Half of the GPS functions aren't there and the ones that are barely work. The WT G1000/3000 mod and the GTN750 mod definitely help, but I just wish the GPS was on par with XP11's implementation.

Things seem smoother and I'm seeing a about a 10-20 FPS boost. The Carenado M20R Ovation seems to be broken though, can't manipulate the fuel tank selector. Tried flipping it over to legacy and still couldn't do it. Edit: It probably just needs to be updated for SU5
