  1. Maybe. But I certainly don't run around in public internetforums asking why the vendor is not reacting immidiately.
  2. No he is not. Some people obviously have no sense of time and patience. I would in fact wait at least 48 hours before starting to ask around why someone isn't answering support mails. ESPECIALLY when you send out a ticket on the weekend.
  3. In that sense not even the FBW A320N is fully Vatsim ready. Because it still does not have missed approaches. If you expect people to fly those by hand from the charts, you might as well expect them to fly holds without FMC help as well. 😉
  4. That's what FS2Crew is for. I have it for the Fenix. It's really good when you don't have to bother setting up the stuff a FO usually does. Especially on VATSIM where I just flew the 737 again and had quite the workload doing everything myself, because I don't have FS2Crew for that one. Classic items I forget: Strobes off after landing, retracting the flaps before taxi in.
  5. In the spirit of instructing people how not to be seen, I'd say.;) All jokes aside, your efforts were quite valiant and I really love that Airfield. Will have to fly there myself some day. In a slightly more appropriate aircraft. 😉
  6. Basically. I mimick what I see the real world pilots I watch on youtube do. They do it because they see it as the only way to get some handflying in, while being on the line. You have to keep those skills somehow, if you don't use them, you'll unlearn them. And then you'll be in trouble the day the automation fails. I try to keep that in my sim routine as well.
  7. Absolutely not. The Airbus basically flies itself on final approach. You pitch up to about 5° in Flaps 3, go to about 45 to 50% N1 and then ride the glideslope by making only slight corrections with the thrust. I never leave the AT on on approach, except when I do challeging circling visual maneuvers like at Madeira or Split. Addendum: This of course is only easy if you have a proper hardware throttle. With a keyboard or the integrated throttle lever of a joystick it will be difficult.
  8. Well only to see how you run off at the end of the runway. Even if you don't, getting out of there will be interesting. 😉
  9. Yeah, manual breaking will always give you that extra oomph. It will only get interesting for the turnaround. You can forget 30 minutes of turnaround after a manual max breaking landing.
  10. Jeez, OCD much? 😉 How about just clicking "Install" and let the installer do the rest? 😄
  11. Or even better, use the EFB for that. No need to use GSX for the connection of the Jetway.
  12. @Cpt_Piett You do know that manual breaking is an option? And that switching the AT off, will also give some extra space to land? I redid that calculation of yours into NZNS with your weights and the same weather and with MAX Manual breaking, ATHR off and Reversers full and get a landing distance of 1071 meters. So about 250 meters left.
  13. The majority. That is where the big sales lie, not in the historic aircraft.
