I have a USB fan on the desk which I use when flying open cockpit aircraft in VR, it genuinely really adds something to the whole experience.

So are these electric whirlybirds exempt from the usual 500ft rules ? If so I’ll have one, if not I’ll stick with my husqvarna ride on mower.

It’s a classic 👍

I’ll be buying this it looks incredibly detailed. If after flying it I decide I like the aircraft I’ll possibly put my name down for a fleet transfer to go and fly the real A350. I hope inibuilds realise this isn’t a game, it’s people’s real lives their messing with !😀

Ah, just the thing for hovering over Embassy roofs in central London, I hope it comes with a deployable Lewis Collins on a rope.

I’ve recently flew as a passenger on an A330 & A350. They make an announcement to say please watch this safety video even if you’re a regular traveler ,as each aircraft is different. Well it’s exactly the same video they play onboard my 787, they’re lying, it’s a big conspiracy ! In all seriousness you’re better off studying the safety card for a few minutes and noting your nearest exits, and completely ignore these daft “safety videos “ Each airline is trying to outdo the other by producing the most irreverent video possible.

That’s exactly where I do my circuit training too,.It also has the advantage of being surrounded by nothing but dessert so is great for smooth frame rates .

Much better for your skill training, and more realistic, is to spend an hour or so flying circuits. I’m sure there’ll be a circuit profile diagram available for the T7 somewhere.

There’s a brief discussion about the bay tour departure I found here. https://www.airlinepilotforums.com/major/11474-oakland-bay-tour.html

I was walking along the Vegas strip earlier on my way for breakfast when I had to take an important call. As I was going up an escalator I was quizzed by a gentleman of questionable character and mind as to who I was talking to and why I didn’t want to talk to him simultaneously.

A word of warning from someone who’s been there. Flying and aviation is fun, when you start getting paid for it initially that’s great , but the novelty wears off and when it becomes just a job, well the fun soon starts to wear off too. As a junior pilot hearing such comments from senior pilots would annoy me, but now I’m walking in their shoes I’m now forced to agree. Thats why I enjoy flight simulation, I fly what I want ,where I want, when I want. No rules no rosters. You of course may differ.

I don’t think it was actually charted no, but was recognised as an official procedure by ATC so it must have been documented somewhere. Not everyone knew about it, I was introduced to it by the older guys when I started.

I’ll have forgotten how to fly it by then ! Still the WT 747/8 actually flies very nicely for routine A to B flights in the meantime

Great provided all these airliners will be compatible with FS2024, which we’re told they should be. Otherwise we’re in that annoying flight sim cycle of the last 30 years whereby the sim is stable and there’s a nice selection of aircraft and everything is great.Then the new must have version pops out and nothing is compatible and we start again, waiting years for products to be updated. And so it continues. Hopefully the promise of backwards compatibility will put an end to this cycle now. 4 years later and still no 747-400 ☹️

I had the same issue. There’s a selection on the iPad to turn off instruments in the cockpit you’re not using , front or rear, to save on performance. I found selecting auto fixed the issue for me.
