    SI plans to control the injected traffic as well. I don’t know of BATC’s exact plans on this (but they did hire the FSLTL developer who has already worked to inject live traffic into the sim), but SI doesn’t currently intend to inject live traffic at all. Their current aim is to inject representative traffic (correct airlines etc but not the exact flights happening right now) and control both you and the other traffic. However they’ve been known to modify their plans in the past after customer feedback, so it could be they take a more live-trafficky route if it’s clear that that is what the community actually wants (which would also be my preference)

    More likely is that the freeware mesh has the same anomaly. The solution remains: excludes for the two mesh spikes.

    Fly Tampa KLAS is a hard hitter for me as well...with an 9900k and 4090. I wish they had a city config option to turn some things off

    ORBX.

    G-RFRY replied to G-RFRY's topic in The Prepar3d Forum

    Both P3D and MSFS are based on the same MS code. that`s how some have been updated with very little work to V6. Even ORBX would take very little work to update, and ORBX was built on supporting P3D 64bit.

    Please disregard the following reply as I then compared both flight planes with Notepad and found that the original one has an 'alternative airport' (of YSTW) which explains why. It is strange that the author of the flightplan selected YSTW as an alternate airport as it is much further from the destination airport than many others which are much closer (yes that doesn't make it any better I know 😁). I still cannot correct the flightplan which is the original reason for this thread and so look forward to learning anything you discover. I now have another independently created flight plan (YMEN - YSCB) which when opened draws another leg from the destination (YSCB) to YSTW. I decided to go back to an earlier version of LNM and loaded the same flight plan. The same thing happened. I opened the flight plan in Notepad but could NOT find and reference to the extra leg and airport so I reopened the flightplan in LNM and noted that the 'profile' did not display the extra leg and airport yet the main window did so I selected the extra airport and selected Delete from Flightplan, Saved the flight plan and reopened the flight plan. Now that extra leg and airport does not display. Something in a 'cache'?

    In preparation for formal release of AutoFPS v0.4.2.16, hopefully tomorrow, I have put up a pre-release version of it here if anyone wants to try it out a little earlier. If no issues are found, I will just convert this release to be the formal release so you won't need to update again. The only change since v0.4.2.15-test is: Fixed update checking code to correctly handle single and double digit patch releases. The URL for the 0.4.2.16 release will be shortened to 04216 so that older app versions can correctly detect this update. Future releases will not require a truncated URL.

    I appreciate your lengthy response and we all appreciate what you have done for flight sim a lot, but I respectfully disagree about it affecting other GPS devices. The code might not affect other GPS units directly, but when the SU14 GNS is started alongside other GPS's, like PMS or TDS GTN, there is a conflict that makes the autopilot unusable. The correct modes will not activate, and the GPS will not follow the intended course, even if you're not using the GNS. I think this is why Black Square had to disable the GNS, not just tell people not to use it on SU14, because my experiments show that any autopilot becomes unusable if the unpatched GNS is launched alongside it, and it's been this way since last year. I hope you don't think I'm being rude. I hardly ever post on forums because I really don't like getting into arguments online. I know you're the expert and I can't fathom how all your code works. I'm just saying what I've observed.

    I'm not totally sure where this information comes from, but that is not accurate. At the core is, the sim does not support hot swapping avionics. We have advised developers against utilizing hot swap, but they started doing it before the new GNS existed and as a result we were somewhat backed into having to try to hack around things to make that work and not break existing aircraft. The new GNS thus offers a hack to do some form of hot swapping and disabling. But, to be clear, it is absolutely a massive and brittle hack. As a result, it can be particularly succeptible to slight changes in flight init, because it's not really operating within the contract of the API, which is what caused the issue in SU14. On normal flight init, where the unit is used in a normal non-hot-swap way, and not loaded after flight init, like it is when a system is doing hot swap, it works without issue. There's new code in SU15 to work around this init issue. However, the code is indeed limited to just the GNS units. Other units experiencing these issues are as a result of using the same hot swap hack code we provided them. But adding the Black Square fix will not affect any other units. It is not possible for the GNS code to affect any other GPS units, as all of our GPS units are self-contained and include their own copies of any library code. We will continue to try to stay in top of the hot swap hack through sim updates, if possible. However we do recommend highly against including hot swap capabilities in add-ons, and upcoming avionics like the G3X won't (and in this case are so complex in their inter-instrument communication that they can't) support hot swap.

    Ive noticed a weird issue with Flytampa's vegas scenery, fps is fine in most areas of the airport, but when looking down runway 26L/R FPS tanks, even taxing around the airport, if I look in that direction (toward allegiant stadium specifically) the FPS drops off. Its the only spot that this happens, but is a pretty big issue as the 26's are the standard runways at KLAS. Is there anything in that area that could be killing performance? Any files that I can remove to disable whatever it is that is causing this? Its making an otherwise nice airport a drag to fly into or out of.

    While not a real world pilot, I am in my 30th year of ATC. The first half was IFR Center and the second half has been IFR/VFR Tower. You will find phraseology quite different between Canada and the US. From your initial post and screenshot as well as the common replies so far hearing pilots requesting taxi to the active is pretty rare for the most part. The thing that stands out to me is that the reply from the ATC in Canada at least should have included their function as well as the info in a very standardized format. Yours showed "N172SB, runway 07 taxi via A". At any towered Canadian airport you would have gotten something very similar to "N172SB, ground. Runway 07, altimeter XXXX , taxi A". The use of via in the taxi route is often omitted depending on where you are operating. I can guarantee that this is only the tip of the needle into a very large pool when it comes to differences between regions. How well BATC manages between them all will and should be a huge factor in it's success.

    I am a newbie with LINDA but have managed to assign a button on my Saitek X52 joystick to an existing FSX command Panel 1 . No problems, the Panel 1 window opens up. Now i have been playing around with my brother's Carenado King AIR B200, and the console has found a number of Lvars that are not listed Fsx controls that i can use...... With most of them i have been assigning them in FSUIPC with the toggle parameter and then assigning a key press. They are all working fine However, a few switches are three-way in the vcirtual cockpit. For example there is a 3 position windshield anti-ice in the virtual cockpit which is defined in the console (roughly) as ASD_WNDSHLD_ANTIICE_PILOT.. Using the LINDA console, the switch has three positions: OFF, ON and TEST the values are +1, 0, -1 . I have programmed 3 different keys on my keyboard in fsuipc with the different parameters and can switch to each position correctly even thoough it is hugely wasteful using three keys ( i just. wanted to check it works ). What i need is a LUA/LINDA.FSIPC??? command that will cycle between the three positions on the one switch!!! Do i need a LUA script ? or a LINDA function or can i do it easily in FSUIPC .. im stumped !!!! any help would be greatly appreciated

    When contacting Ground after receiving ATIS, I request taxi to the active for (pattern, or direction of departure from field). They always give me instructions to a specific runway, and from then on that's what I read back. But that initial call I always ask for the active because ATIS will have multiple runways being used for departure. Atis: "Landing and Departing Runways 12L and 12R... advise on initial contact you have Alpha." Me: "Tiny Airport Ground, Cessna 9572 Hotel at Echo Ramp requesting taxi to the active for the pattern with Alpha." Ground: "72 Hotel, Tiny Airport Ground, taxi to 12L at Charlie 6 via Alpha, Bravo." Me: "Taxi to 12L at Charlie 6 via Alpha, Bravo. 92 Hotel." If the field only has one departing runway in use, I just request taxi to that one on initial contact. For an uncontrolled field I just tell people on UNICOM where I'm going with specific runway numbers. For approach you'd never use active because either on an IFR approach the approach controller is assigning it or when VFR you just call for a full stop and the tower tells you what runway and pattern entry to use. So in my real world life, I only use "active" for that one singular purpose, but I end up using it almost daily. Obligatory "I'm in the USA and most every other place does not follow our crazy phraseology or procedures."

    First of all, I wouldn't say that superradiance is a quantum effect. It is a coherent superposition of light emitted from a number (let's call it N) of emitters, which increases the intensity of light like N^2. In normal media, when the emitters are not coherent, the intensity only grows like N. Hence, the observation of superradiance says nothing about quantum effects in the brain, although it is certainly intriguing. More importantly, that whole consciousness and collapse of the wavefunction issue is a rather old hypothesis, going back to the 1940s. Modern understanding of quantum physics can almost remove the collapse entirely. If a quantum system interacts with its environment, and we do not observe all of this environment, then we will lose information. That information loss happens very quickly, and the quantum system of interest then behaves in the same way as the "collapse of the wavefunction" would suggest. If you want to study the collapse of a larger system (say, a cat and a radioactive nucleus in a box), you can let this larger system interact with an even wider environment and get again around the collapse. Hence, the collapse is not as mysterious anymore as one may think. The only limit of this "decoherence theory" (loss of information) is when you want to study the collapse of the state of the entire cosmos. Apart from the practical impossibility to do such an experiment, this question is only of relevance in quantum cosmology. And guess what: Penrose is a cosmologist. I am impressed by the superradiance experiment, but I am not buying into that consciousness idea. Peter

    I'm three flights in now and quite enjoying it. Haven't experienced any major bugs or glitches and it's so many miles beyond default ATC. I haven't used voice yet. Flew into EGAA tonight and got very good vectors for the RNAV 07 approach. It would definitely be helpful to have the option to change runway assignment. On callsigns, it would be nice to have an option to enter our own...I love flying the BAe-146 and F-28 using callsigns of airlines that don't exist anymore so I'm thinking some of those ICAO codes will not be known by BATC (as per the AWE example above). I've bene using the excellent FS ATC Chatter alongside BATC to give me background chatter. I have noticed there seems to be a lot of times where the frequency being used by BATC shows as out of range in FS ATC Chatter. I see that BATC abbreviates the last digit off of the ATC frequency so maybe that's why? All in all though, I'm quite happy with this, certainly US$30 well spent and I'm looking forward to how it develops.

    Yes, once in a while no response! Then you fly over the field to check the windsock! Occasionally someone else in the vicinity will chime in on the active. Often the choice is pretty obvious at your destination (based on your departure ) unless the winds have done a 180!

    My wish is for a keyboard key to easily adjust autopilot heading. Using mouse or touchpad, especially on the 747 it is even hard to get the cursor in right place without changing bank angle. Right now you only get one degree per keypress. Holding key down does nothing, but it should continuously change the heading. No-brainer!

    A quantum mechanical link was already established I think about a decade or more ago that the progeny of Migrating birds were finding the exact tree they nested in. Can't remember the details but I recall it being very similiar to this microtubules idea that Penrose is talking about. If I recall correctly the term microtubules was even used. I've always had great respect for Penrose but I never forget that he is a hard Materialist/Physicalist. My position is that mater is 'Real' but its not primordial. So I think he and others are totally wrong about consciousness. Their myopic naturalist world view has them barking up the wrong tree. Edit: OK, now that I have watched the video I know its total click bait after the first sentence. 'Roger Penrose calms Microtubules are the Origin of Consciousnesses, Well it seems he was right! At least about the Microtubules!'.......... F-off! I really have less and less respect for Hossenfelder everyday.

    you omitted the most inportant thing: the airplane used. If the airplane can’t use cargo loaders (for example because its cargo door is too low), GSX will use belt loaders, no matter what you set in the airport profile.

    its actually kind of cool once you get the hang of it.

    So... P3D 5.4 Adequate hardware I don't see how your vsync is going to work if your monitor is at 100hz, you'd need to be able to achieve a minimum of 100 fps in P3D for the vsync to take effect, is it a GSync monitor ? if so is GSync enabled ? Does the monitor support 60 Hz ? if so you can trial vsync on in P3D while using the NVidia control panel 1/2 Hz vsync. e.g. a 60 Hz screen mode would vsync @ 30 fps. 30 frames per second will unload the GPU and CPU and give headroom to P3D to expand it's graphic's capabilities. Have you trialled the Prepar3D.cfg settings I've listed ? For screen grabs you need to post a screen grab on a third party website and then link it back to your post here by pasting in the URL. See below, it's a little out of date regarding the embeding options but the general gist covers it. I myself use Steam as a pic repository, but there are many others. Cheers

    started a flight (pmdg 738) everything worked fine. could disengage brakes, steer with a tiller, rudders worked fine. landed 5 hours later and couldn't stop. brakes didn't work, rudder didn't work. rudder pedals and brakes look fine in msfs controls, and in external view they work fine as well. Tried this with PMDG, Fenix, and Piper Arrow, all with the same effect. I feel like I might have triggered some feature that I didn't know about? I restarted the machine as well, same thing. I guess I should reinstall, but was wondering if anyone has had this happen? thx mb
