August 14, 20205 yr Now to just learn the 'right' way to do things....i've forgotten so much. Made a post in Flight Plans hoping to get better understanding of those. I'm really excited to learn with this sim! I even have more RAM inbound so Ill be up to 32gb for the first time ever, lol.....the little things! I am totally excited for the new model though. I can't say I understand it as much as some of you but its interesting stuff for sure!

When it comes to sims however, I still can't get my computer desk to enter a spin.

Otherwise if you flew for 45 minutes, there'd be no log entry. We round everything by hour.

Well in general a few things come to mind, but what is immediately obvious is he has the settings altered from their most realistic options. If aircraft over-stress (or whatever the actual setting is called) has been turned off then it is probable he has chosen other more unrealistic options as well. That being said the mechanical turbulence seems very realistic in my opinion, although possibly excessive for the time of day (we don't know the weather options though...) Again I think while all this speculation about the sim is certainly entertaining there will be no substitute for actually using it yourself where you can account for all the variables correctly when formulating an impression. Lastly frame rate seems respectable (which is certainly intriguing...) and the scenery looks amazing as always. Edited August 15, 20205 yr by High_Alpha

The flying fees at the time were £6.00 per launch (winch only, no aerotow at the club) and £0.30 per minute of flight time. Plenty of 3 and 4 minutes times sadly although that's good for familiarisation with takeoffs, circuits (one at a time lol!) and landings: Come off the winch at 1000 to 1100 - weather not working - join downwind for active runway - land. Maybe repeat again during the day depending upon numbers for dual instruction...
