I worked around airliners for 36 years. While I never saw anyone killed I did see a number of people seriously injured. This is why we refused to air start both engines at the gate. Someone would have to go in front of the engine to disconnect the air hose. Some pilots would get furious about it. It only takes one moment of inattention and you're gone, as this poor person found out.

Violence against airline employees happens a lot more than you hear about. It has gotten progressively worse in recent years.

Looks like they didn't renew their security certificate.

Or if the controller decides he has something better to do and leaves you hanging.

MSFS is now 10 million players strong
mwilk replied to penta_a's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
Remember, it was available through GamePass. I'll bet a large portion of that 10 million are included in that number. -
Works fine for me. The one thing to remember is that it's live traffic. I fly in Europe a lot so if I'm going to have a lot of traffic I have to fly in the morning. I live in Texas so the time difference is an issue.

X-Plane 12 is 33% off in the Steam Autumn Sale
mwilk replied to Tim-HH's topic in The Bargain Hunter's Shack
Any disadvantages to buying it on Steam as opposed to getting it directly from Laminar Research? -
HP Reverb G2 VR headset 50% off HP direct.
mwilk replied to Fielder's topic in The Bargain Hunter's Shack
There have been some rumors online that HP was getting out of virtual reality and that was why prices have been slashed. Haven’t seen anything official from HP. -
Is anybody here flying iniBuilds Buffalo (snow storm)
mwilk replied to Fielder's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
I'm going to try a Southwest Baltimore to Buffalo a little later on. This is what Buffalo looks like right now in MSFS. -
I guess you’re new to flightsimming and X-Plane beta process.

I'm just telling you what I saw. There are chickens and roosters all over the place. Maybe they're tougher than the sparrows and small birds that cats normally hunt.
-
The chickens have been there since the first Polynesians inhabited the Hawaiian Islands more than a thousand years ago. They're on every island and especially prolific on Kauai. The condo we stay at in Kihei on Maui has it's share of chickens and roosters in the parking lot that wake you up bright and early. They share that parking lot with feral cats and everyone seems to get along fine. They're more of a novelty than a nuisance.

Sigh. yet another flight ends like this.
mwilk replied to aniiran's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
Exactly. I don’t have the limit issue with FSLTL either. But you’re right, it’s not an issue caused by GSX. -
Sigh. yet another flight ends like this.
mwilk replied to aniiran's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
Yes, it's one of those fixes that works for some and not for others. The only other change I made at the time was to disable GSX, so I don't know. I did change drivers multiple times but that had no effect. -

I was getting the same thing. Make sure HAGS (Hardware Accelerated Graphic Settings) is turned off in Windows. This seemed to do it for me. I have an RTX 2080. Also, you mentioned GSX. I was having a problem with the models in AIG not showing up. I disabled GSX and it was no longer a problem. This was at the same time I was dealing with this graphics error. You might want to try that also. -
You might want to post this on the official PMDG forum where the developers can see it.

Fenix A320 - performance and remote MCDU
mwilk replied to JU108's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
I'm not sure what working CB's do for you. I've seen YouTube videos done by actual airline pilots who said they never touch the circuit breakers. They certainly wouldn't do it without consulting maintenance control first. -
I have the same issue if I inject AIG or FSLTL traffic. I have to CTRL-ALT- DEL to get out.

MSFS - P2A not 'seeing' sim weather
mwilk replied to Dreamsofwings1's topic in Pilot2ATC Users Forum
Set it to NOAA real weather. I don't think P2A even where where to look for MSFS weather. I find that it's pretty accurate using NOAA. -
Cleveland fly over for Cleveland Walkoff !!
mwilk replied to fppilot's topic in The AVSIM Screen Shots Forum
Looks like Cleveland Hopkins in the foreground. You're probably just a little west of where I used to live, Medina. Still miss it after all these years. -
IniBuilds Los Angeles - Bad Performance
mwilk replied to iFlySimX's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
That's why I didn't jump on this. Just like their Heathrow, it's a beautiful job but the performance is brutal. -
REVIEW: IniBuilds Los Angeles
mwilk replied to FilbertFlies's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
I hope performance is better than their Heathrow.
