Any news on 4.2 update?

What I would LOVE....but probably won't get is this:

In the event of a poor landing or even a CRASH, I would love to go back in time and have another shot at that.  Being able to go back perhaps only 30 to 60 seconds, and have another chance at making it right would be very welcome to me.  A "back in time" option would be a real plus for many of us, I'm sure.

I remember a sim...I believe it was Pro Pilot (in the good old days) that gave you this wonderful opportunity.  In Prepar3d, the crash takes you back to your default flight, instead of the plane and the airport from which you began.  At least in FSX, you were transported back to your current plane and situation.  Prepar3d takes you TOO far back to your default.  That I do not like.

Nothing more frustrating than flying a 12 hour flight and butchering the landing

That is when FSUIPC really earns its keep

[spilok 1,133]

How so?  How do I use FSUIPC to accomplish that?  I have FSUIPC but I'm not aware of what you mean.

I think he is referring  to  the FSUIPC autosave feature.

Indeed I am.

Hate to be word not allowed here...how do you exactly use the Autosave feature.  Sorry.

Hi Stan

 

In short "AutoSave options—to save a Flight regularly, as a background task so you can resume from a few minutes before in the
event of a crash or a need to reproduce some problem."

Details are in your FSUIPC5 User Guide, located in " <SimDrive>:\Prepar3D v4\Modules\FSUIPC Documents"

 

Hope this helps and kind regards

Well, in the unlikely chance they are reading this, I would like to see them completely update the airport database.

Yep, a whole bunch have towers now.

NDBs are disappearing fast. . .

The sim never streamed the AM radio stations

that broadcasted over them.

 

Also,  areas like Wilkes-Barre send their AWOS/ATIS

out over VOR. and the sim doesn't handle that.

It just doesn't offer ATIS/AWOS freqs to tune into.

There totally is.  Flying 12 hours with a CTD on approach - not even having the option to butcher the landing.  I feel totally violated

[mtrainer 136]

Actually,

Not a bad suggestion here so far.  I hope they eventually get around to implementing all of these suggestions / fixes.

Apparently Aerosoft ran into a limitation that some other devs have ran into, no idea what that may be however, so we might be seein that be on the changelog for 4.2 as well.

I hope they implement better stability, improve autogen loading, and reduce studdering!

I’ve found v4 to be extremely stable, at least in my experience.

Thank you for alerting me to FSUIPC's "autosave" function.  It works great, and better than anything I could have hoped for.  What a great investment FSUIPC is.  Really helps when you mess up a landing.  A great teaching tool in that respect.
