Good detective work, I had the same thoughts with the TV towers but didn't look much further. I just knew it wasn't Seattle from my 20 years of flying the Seattle skies.

I'm not sure where it is, but It doesn't look like Seattle.

I can only describe the wind shifts in MSFS as very digital, it can go from 1 to 100 in a millisecond. Not something that you would ever see in the real world, MSFS needs to dampen this to reflect fluid viscosity.

I had two AP disconnects on the same day as the OP. There were some pretty abrupt wind shifts that day over Europe which I'm sure was the cause for me. It's such an easy plane to hand fly anyway it was hardly a big deal.

Yes, no more bean counters please. Bring in someone more like Alan Mulally, who IMO was the last good CEO of BCA.

I'm seeing this too, according to the gauges it's off, but sound, heat effects, fuel usage still occur.

oh my 🍿 737 NG Flight Crew Training Manual Avoid rapid control column movements during the flare. If the flare is too abrupt and thrust is excessive near touchdown, the airplane tends to float in ground effect. Do not allow the airplane to float or attempt to hold it off. Fly the airplane onto the runway at the desired touchdown point and at the desired airspeed.

I'm a little disappointed with the question format this time too. Requiring a typed entry will get more people skipping those questions I'm sure. Didn't the survey last year at least give us the opportunity to rank what we considered important in an addon aircraft instead of just typing random things?

Yes this is the main thing, lots of environmental influence mostly outside of your control. I have very good signal quality here, but still prefer wired for the flightsim PC for the stability. An analogy I like to use with my other pilot friends is it's very much like CTAF at an uncontrolled airport. Only one person can talk at a time, and sometimes they talk slow, or over each other causing both to retransmit, and sometimes you even get interference or congestion from someone using the same frequency at another airport that you're close enough to hear. All making things much more hectic the busier it gets.

Paine Field should be coming soon, they're working on it now and just posted some photos today. Generally speaking I think the demand for detail has also increased, so scenery and aircraft now take much longer just due to customer expectations.

yes, finally!

Maybe that's something done elsewhere, but it's not something I've seen. Someone who exceeds their data limit may be restricted, but it would be that account to all destinations, not specific ones. Since Noel was asking about Xfinity I will tell you they have a policy known as settlement free peering, which includes Azure. This means neither party is charged for any data that goes between the two networks. So again there's no benefit or reason for them to throttle anything.

As someone who used to work on the networking team for an ISP, I can say that there's a very small chance they would throttle just the MSFS servers. Usually when there's a user that uses a lot of data it's their whole account that gets throttled. MSFS is peanuts compared with other streaming services, and it makes little sense to advertise high speed streaming only to throttle them by default. The only situation where a VPN may help is in situations where there's an issue between your internet IP and the MSFS servers. A VPN changes your source IP the MSFS servers sees and results in a different path through the internet. However not you've introduced a new potential issue in that you'll rely on not only how busy the MSFS servers are, but also how busy the VPN server you're on is. Also your CPU will be busier because it has to decrypt and extra layer of encryption.

Not sure if you mean the real one or not, but here it is. http://servicecenters.cirrusdesign.com/tech_pubs/sf50/pdf/AFM/SF50-002/Online31452-002.pdf

Does it have a system page available? In the real 650 you'd change this via the "user fields" under the system page. FYI. you may need to use the down arrow on the system page to see it.
