Help me a choose another U.S. destination
Azapata87 replied to Verticalsim's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
I’ll throw in a vote for KONT. Spent several years there. Unique airport. Fun fact. Other than LAX it’s the only other airport in Southern California with runways that will support CAT 3 auto land. (In real life anyway). -
PMDG 737-800 is NOW available!
Azapata87 replied to rutrA's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
It plays better than most. It has an auto cruise function that automatically controls simulation rate. This was brought over from there 777 and 747 lines. -
PMDG 737-800 is NOW available!
Azapata87 replied to rutrA's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
Absolutely! If I were to divide the initial cost by the sheer hours of enjoyment I get out of these addons it turns out to be some cheap entertainment for me. This is one of my only hobby’s. -
I haven’t bought it yet. Waiting for the weekend 🙂

Azapata87 replied to rutrA's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
I like pretending to fly BIG ones. The bigger the better. That’s why I’m buying the -800 and the -900. -
Glad I saw this before doing a clean install. Thought something had corrupted after a processor upgrade today.

Flying with Fenix A320, hard to dedicate time?
Azapata87 replied to timers15's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
With a little practice you learn how to be efficient with time. I load up MSFS, while waiting, quickly plan a flight on simbrief. Load it up in the Fenix (turn around state with APU on). Instant board the passengers finish programming the mcdu and pushback. That all should take a few minutes at most 🙂. Ofcourse if you want to pretend your in real life your gonna need a lot of free time to waste. depending on what region of the world you like to fly in, find some short flights that work for you, my go tos are las-lax,ont,sna,San,bur,oak, sfo or any combination of those are usually easy for me to complete before the family needs me. I’m positive similar city pairs with similar flight times can be found anywhere in the world. -
Always thought with a smile...
Azapata87 replied to Sesquashtoo's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
Anyone remember 2001 when people were calling for desktop flight simulators to be banned? Call it what it is, a game. I enjoy this hobby. -
Typically you don’t unless you have customs available. the current FAA 5010 airport master record form for that airport shows none and the airport name on that record has no “international” in it 😉

First look PMDG 737 update
Azapata87 replied to Paul_Yorks's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
It’s a 737.. how different could your “new build” possibly be. Couple finger prints on the LCD screens? Better cabin? Don’t get me wrong that would be cool but meh that isn’t gonna affect my enjoyment of an airplane. The EFB is coming. I also own and love the Fenix A320 it’s is almost perfect. I still fly the PMDG 737 because the quality isn’t as far off from the A320 as the haters would claim it to be. IMO. -
34. Addicted to flightsim since fs2000.

I don’t understand the ridiculous constant pitchforking. The 737 is arguably the best it’s ever been. if you dont like PMDG nobody put a gun to your head and forced you to buy their product.

Beautifully enhanced terrain mesh in WU10 (USA)
Azapata87 replied to David Mills's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
I will let that slide but please if we discuss the sims colors don’t bring up its gray color palette. My hairs been going more gray lately and that may just trigger me. I was really excited for the beautiful island of Catalina and it’s airport, and Disneyworld.. oh and the San Diego updates. -
Airliners: cold and dark or turn around
Azapata87 replied to tup61's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
I do cold and dark but often skip checklists and use my own mental flow.. rarely I’ll forget a step like setting take off trim and autobrakes. I just like pressing switches and operating the machine. Often it’s like I just jumped in the plane and have to rush to power the plane on and get out of the airport before the monsters from The Langoliers eat the plane. -
Flight Simulator 40th Anniversary Trailer
Azapata87 replied to Tuskin38's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
Not a Halo guy but the Pelican sure is fun for when I don’t have time to plan a something in an airliner 😄 -
Does anyone have a link to the WU announcement?
Azapata87 replied to David Mills's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
You had me going until the /S. -
How has release of FENIX impacted FBW's future?
Azapata87 replied to jrw4's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
The FBW A320 is great for being free and it is a NEO which does have some worthwhile differences to the FENIX CEO A320. For me it comes down to being a parent of two little kids with very little time for simming. When I do have time to do a quick flight I want something that is complete and will work correctly all of the time. I don't have the patience or the time to figure out why something isn't working or if a feature has been implemented in the branch I am using. I guess Im willing to “pay" for convenience. -
FENIX A320... growing on me ...
Azapata87 replied to jcomm's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
One of My favorite parts about flying the 737. Wish I could have one in the A320. -
Honda Jet coming out “very soon.”
Azapata87 replied to NismoRR's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
I’d say that’s a little far fetched. You need a subscription to view the charts in the Fenix A320 as well.. but that does not hamper most peoples enjoyment. Pricing really has nothing to do with this. -
Hjet now live in Marketplace
Azapata87 replied to fppilot's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
I’m about 98 percent sure I’ll be buying this weekend. Curious about the pitch sensitivity. If it’s true to the real world aircraft then that’s fine with me. -
I’d love an A321neo. I’m itching to simulate some Hawaiian flights.
-
Flew the Dark star from LAX to HNL and LAX to PANC in real time. Very satisfying and Quick. Fun to land without ever having a visual of the runway out of the window.

You’re both right, he’s getting into the weeds and explaining that the Airbus logic automatically turns on the fuel pump for the APU. As far at the pilot is concerned they do not need to do anything with the fuel pumps to start the APU.
