    Well, he's not wrong! 😉 Though, you could easily call millions of MSFS flight simmers 'fan boys and girls', myself included, seeing as we're still playing MSFS nearly 4 years later.

    Congratulations, you must be so happy 🤣

    I smoked him in the comments so he called me a f@nb0y 🤣🤣🤣

    Yes I like flying over the bases we grew up on!

    Thankfully, it's only 106 commenters and only 21 likes for the top comment. Perhaps the majority of his subscribers have forgotten that they're subscribed? 🤪 Sadly, I'm not. The entitlement of 'gamers' and the lack of significant consequences for being a keyboard warrior mean people say things that they wouldn't in person, lest they receive a punch in the mouth.

    I'm a winner!

    Hey there Charlie. When you get your winnings, could I bother you for a new(er) car? Mine is getting rather long in the tooth now at 26 years old! 😂

    I took my DC6 to get some fresh air...

    I've seen a few people say that they can't get full power without "redlining" the Ng. It's possible that people coming from the default turboprops don't know that 100% is not the limit, it's like 102% on almost every PT6, or as high as 105%. Generally, the pilot does not worry about Ng when setting power because it's governed by the fuel controller. Also, I'm really loving the comradery today with this release after the servers crashed. It's like we're all here waiting in line at the same concert.

    Great shot. Nice that you can relive quite a bit of your family history via the sim. 🙂
  12. Alaska738
    Beautiful! 🙂
  13. Alaska738
    Fine shots buddy! 😉

    Forget about the test, skip it and just fly. There's a bug.

    And don't forget NOT to take things too seriously lol. sp

    I’d love an A340, I’m willing to lower my standards for one too. Will be interested to hear if this one can reasonably fly A-B.

    Thanks missed that one before.

    Well perhaps you could keep your fascination with the cyclical away from my perceptions of my experience of this issue, as I assure you, I’m aware of the concept and experience it in as many areas as the next guy, and they are not part of this situation for me. Edit: and I’ll do you the courtesy of not telling you what you’re experiencing / remembering.

    As per the cruise checklist in the User's manual, 1150 pounds of torque should be set, but if I get much over 770, I exceed the redline on the Ng.

    So cool - THANK YOU very much!! 😁

    Thank you for the detailed response. I ended up doing a repair on MSFS from the XBox Live app (running PC version). That seemed to do it. I had one strange CTD, then seemed to be okay. I will test more tonight. From the shear number of users that run this, it must be something I did or something unique on my install. Not sure. I am tempted to try the install again because it seems like an amazing app. I certainly appreciate all the effort you put into this. Best, Mark

    Click on the place you got it from. i.e. where it is stowed. EDIT: Sorry I misread the post. You cant access any of the pages right?

    I doubted myself some time after all the changes, "have I just gotten used to the clouds and lighting engine?" But after 3,300+ hours in the sim, I can say without a doubt, that from release up to around SU5 we had much better clouds, lighting and cloud variety/immersion. I recall FULL overcast for hundreds of miles in the USA Midwest (and Europe) wintertime that you see sometimes; lines of late summer / early fall thunderstorms in France, Spain, east of Albuquerque that had (YES!) lightning, rain, with cloud tops as one would expect. it was quite incredible. And there were isolated storms too, also lines of T-Storm "cells". I had to divert around them. Did they match up to the real world radar exactly where the thunderstorms actually were? No most of the time not - but it was in the vicinity of where the CAPE index was showing they could be. Good enough for me. The point was that the immersion was there, and storms were happening in the plausible area of where the real world was experiencing them. The live weather was an organic, plausible Worldwide system capable of simulating some really neat weather conditions, all tied together seamlessly without weather "pop in / pop-out" like we see now - or generic cumulus junk everywhere. I wish I could find the older you tube videos that showed the time acceleration of the live weather system in action in a given city.. What we were missing was a METAR reporting system in-game that would give us the conditions that the game was experiencing at the airports. No one knew what conditions to expect at the destination airport, or otherwise. This opened all of the complaints to bring in METAR, but doing this. along with the X-Box integration adjustments (as already said earlier here), ruined the release live weather experience. I do not think MSFS2024 will have any real improvement to the weather - maybe some fancy overdone tornadoes or something (like rainbows all over), but I guess time will tell. The point is, IMO was the MSFS 2020 release live weather perfect? NO. Not even close. I recall those strange low to the ground cloud banks that were ugly and not realistic looking either. Glad they got rid of those, but not at the expense of everything else we "lost" 😞

    Back a couple pages in this thread was a mention of a 787 mod interfering with the Duke's tablet.

    Not really. I'm more interested in the fact that these subjects seem almost like a watercooler time-waster (to me) while we wait for something interesting to come along. The clouds have always been a pages-long topic, and probably always will be; and while for you the disaffection may have begun with Su5, my memory is that almost from the beginning the clouds have been a subject of debate. The only thing that ever really changes is which aspect of the cloud depiction the different posters have a problem with, and various theories of how, why and when the "downgrade" happened. I guess I'm fascinated by the cyclical nature of certain things, here.

    Is anyone else having an issue using the tablet? I can click on it to bring it up, but then clicking any buttons etc on the tablet does nothing. I am able to put it away though. This using the SU15 compatible piston version.

    I'd like a Vickers Viscount to trott around Europe in.
