    Not sure why that would be the case if you have sufficient drive space etc. I have multiple sims installed and it presents no practicality problems.

    I think it very much depends on the country. In my country, it is very common to receive the instruction "when ready, descend to XXX". This means that the aircraft can descend from their own ToD point - I do it in my own aircraft using VNAV on my GTN750. I would imagine the airliner would simply activate VNAV until they receive instructions from ATC that precludes them from using VNAV. So much depends on the circumstances - traffic, weather etc.

    I would say the fickleness of simmers makes me think that.

    Some other developers that do that get slayed by the punters for taking too long. It very much depends on who the developer is as to whether they get cut that slack or not.

    As a practising Instructor I have never considered what the actual touchdown rate is, nor do I teach it.

    Go to most airfields in Australia that support "Airline Cadet" training schools and you'll see 172's flying downwind nearly 3nm from the field.

    I think most people who have been simming for any length of time would know to take that with a massive grain of salt.

    As a current instructor in the P68B I'd be curious to see what it is like, but these days I'm reluctant to laid down my cash on unknown quantities.

    It really is getting a bit like that. This includes Airbus - always another slant on the A32x family. If someone came out with a high fidelity long haul Airbus, a 787 etc then that would create some serious interest. Otherwise, yes, it is becoming boring.

    I quite like the Wizz Air livery

    Looks like a C5 Galaxy at the rear, 787 at the front and a BAE146 in the middle. Ugly.

    I'm no insider but I doubt that will be happening.

    The GTN is driven by the real Garmin Trainer aircraft owners use. It is a Garmin database that cannot be reverse engineered. Periodically it is updated when the Trainer is updated. See which is the latest Trainer the RXP supports and that might be a bit newer.

    You would need to get a very expensive subscription from Garmin or find someone with a real aircraft who may help you.

    Think I'll sit back and watch how this pans out.

    Only in rural areas of Australia. In the cities, particularly in the inner-city areas, where the self-appointed "intelligentsia" live it is becoming more and more prevalent for people to be pretentious, and as we say out here, "up themselves".

    I guess I have an inquisitive mind. I find it fascinating to be able to get an insight into an ingenious system that took inter-continental flights past using bubble sextants long before GPS was even thought of. I guess that's just me 🤷‍♂️. Each to their own.

    The usual suspects who slag off at RSR's writing style, pricing policy, development time frame and general mocking just to name a few items. It is hardly "discussing" ... 🙄

    Seriously, all this handwringing over an EFB - how did aircraft fly without them?

    P3Dv6

    Seems you can't please anyone these days 🙄

    EFB for PMDG

    DavidP replied to gryper's topic in Hangar Chat

    Makes me wonder how Wilbur and Orville made it into the air without an EFB

    The database is the same as real Garmin units. If you know someone who has a real aircraft using the real Garmin databases, they may be able to help you.

    Any sensible VFR pilot would, for many reasons, one of which is if they get stuck in cloud there is every chance, they will likely die within 180 seconds. VFR pilots flying into IMC is extremely dangerous - people have done it and survived, others haven't. As for violating VMC cloud clearance requirements, as an instructor I would never encourage my students to do so, but once on their own, who knows what they do?

    Some people take it way too seriously ...
