  1. Good point, I guess they would not really know if there was other damage to the aircraft and better to be close to land than over the Pacific when another issue comes up. Looks like the aircraft completed the flight from LAX although I cannot tell if it was the same registration number.
  2. I wonder why they didn't just continue the trip to Japan. There was no danger in terms of the flight and this way they get to land empty and lighter. I am sure a wheel can be repaired in Japan.
  3. OK thanks, I went right into a flight after the update.
  4. Does anyone else have this where the bottom right corner has the never ending looping while circle after the Dune update? I also notice that trying to change controller settings for a specific aircraft takes forever now with a pause in between each selection.
  5. Thanks for the info. I have TrackIR, however, I no longer use it, preferring to go with the hat switch. For sure I will wait for FS2024 to see what that delivers and how current hardware stacks up. By that time maybe the 4090 will be "-1".
  6. So I have gone the longest time ever in delaying an upgrade to my flight sim computer. Last build was before MSFS and current machine is an 8700K (overclocked to 4.6) with 1080Ti graphic card. I have adjusted the settings to be what I consider very good, the aircraft graphics are great (PMDG, FENIX, etc), scenery looks good to me, maybe the LOD distance is too short, not sure. Performance is reasonable, I don't really look at frames but in and around 25 to 30, maybe slightly less on the ground at a busy airport. I really used to notice lots of stutters and pauses in P3D but not really noticing much if anything of that with MSFS. So the question is, what would I actually get out of a big upgrade to the latest and greatest ?
  7. CH Products Rudder Pedals, circa 2000. I have since replaced the CH Yoke and Throttle Quad as the pots were shot (replaced with Honeycomb Alpha, Bravo and T.1600 stick for Airbus).
  8. Thanks for the info, quite incredible how the interior design has changed the feeling is space in the same fuselage diameter.
  9. Question, is the fuselage of the 737 Max 8 larger than the 737-800 NG ? I ask becuase I was on one yesterday (United) and the interior seemed much more spacious than a regular 737NG. Perhaps its just the way the interior is designed so you get that perception, not sure. Regarding PMDG and the Max8. i may be interested as I have the 737-700 and never got the -800 which I really would have preferred but couldn't wait. This may be a way to fill that void.
  10. I find it odd that the HP200 uses so many resources when it real life is was a very small computer using no power by modern computer standards.
  11. I suspect its better for the developers to release individual airports at a lower price point, as they will generate more sales and total revenue.
  12. Asobo gives these to us for free with their World Updates!
  13. I spend most of my flight time in airliners, so I really will not see the custom buildings. Land class, mesh, shorelines, water masks, etc. I see for sure. I also fly some GA planes like the A2A Comanche but even there I have never really seen any of these custom buildings. I guess maybe its the routes I am choosing and I have flown all over the world in GA aircraft between interesting GA airports. I guess I am just not doing city sight seeing tours.
  14. I kind of wonder about these updates. While I appreciate that we actually have had 14 WU's, I really feel like they focus is not where it should be. I would rather have upgrades to the areas where we fly. I am sure many of us will take up a slow GA plane to check out the sites once or twice but the reality is we are flying between airports and its the scenery along the flight path and the endpoint airports that needs the major updates. Do others feel the same way ?
  15. I think that is the way to do it. Will try again.
