September 20, 20223 yr I fly on IVAO and noticed that too. P3D took a major dive and MSFS grew exponentially. Now if only the developers fixed that damned altitude issue with the pilot client (coincidentally called 'altitude' as well).

But like everything else, everything gets old after a lot of use. Anytime someone talks about being bored, I remember a banker joke (I used to work for banks): "Questions: why is banking like s3x? Answer: because if you deposit and withdraw all the time ...after a while, you'll end up losing interest too". Lol. Sidenote: If you don't already have it, you should probably do DCS also.

I have DCS but don't have time to use it in depth. I even bought the AH64 addon and literally have only lifted off the ground and that's it. | My Liveries | FAA ZMP | PPL ASEL | | Windows 11 | MSI Z690 Tomahawk | 12700K 4.7GHz | MSI RTX 4080 | 64GB 6000 MHz DDR5 | 500GB Samsung 860 Evo SSD | 2x 2TB Samsung 970 Evo M.2 | EVGA 850W Gold | Corsair 5000X | HP G2 (VR) / LG 27" 1440p |

September 20, 20223 yr Vatsim is full every day from 1900-2200. daily multiple events are ongoing but yeah have fun with your atc program. you never know how bad your procedures and aircraft skills are until you fly in an online network. Lukas Dalton

No need for that. I encourage VATSIM but, yes, it is hard to find a controller most of the time. To each their own. Gregg Seipp "A good landing is when you can walk away from the airplane.

I flew for years in one of the most congested airspaces in the US, South Florida. I know what working with real ATC is like. I fly different times every day, not a 3 hour block out of 24. I don't like talking to myself on Unicomm, or one controller covering 4 states. . Edited September 21, 20223 yr by Bobsk8

September 21, 20223 yr Wonder how they've been able to deal with the geopotential height variation due to temperature ? It was a problem when ASOBO first introduced it, but then either they simply disabled that or the discrepancies in Mode C or S continue to happen, and I wonder how controllers deal with it ?

My guess is that because it enables them to do what they want to do without actually physically having to do it. - travel: too much trouble and enough physical traveling already - buying stuff: don't have time for that maintenance shyet 😎. Got 3 cars and a house and a wife to maintain already... - danger: I'll be gone soon enough - certifications: enuf already, no more tests and don't need someone telling me I'm ok ...😁😁😁 Edited September 21, 20223 yr by bofhlusr Hardware: i7-8700k, GTX 1070-ti, 32GB ram, NVMe/SSD drives with lots of free space.
