After about 10 years, I finally converted from 3X24 Dells to the Samsung 49 CRG90 5120*1440@120Hz. I have no regrets and very happy with the change. In my opinion, elimination of the dreaded bezels far outweighs the vertical tradeoff. In the end, it's a subjective decision.

I agonized for two years whether to continue with 3 x 24 inch Dells or go with the single ultra wide monitor. Initially, only the 34 inch was available which to me, wasn't worth the trade off. Now, in conjunction with a real world relocation, the move to the Samsung 49 inch was made. No regrets whatsoever except I wish I had made the change earlier.

With the coming of FS 2020 and a simultaneous major personal relocation, I am considering a new Jetline PC and monitor. After having used 3 X 24 Dells for about 10 years, I'm still uncertain about continuing with the three monitors vs. single monitor. Then there is the UW controversy including the 49 in. Not being a monitor expert, I read somewhere of a specific single monitor that comes very close to providing the same field-of-view as the 49 inch without compromising height. Can someone assist? Also, is it true MSFS 2020 will not support multiple monitors? Thanks in advance.

Brings back memories. I used to fly on Bonanza F27s KLAX-KLAS in the early 1960s.

From the FAA 7110.65 ATC Handbook, this is a portion of the speed assignment section: (entire section here: https://www.faa.gov/air_traffic/publications/atpubs/atc_html/chap5_section_7.html} SPEED ASSIGNMENTS When assigning airspeeds, use the following: To aircraft operating between FL 280 and 10,000 feet, a speed not less than 250 knots or the equivalent Mach number. NOTE- On a standard day the Mach numbers equivalent to 250 knots CAS (subject to minor variations) are: FL 240-0.6 FL 250-0.61 FL 260-0.62 FL 270-0.64 FL 280-0.65 FL 290-0.66. A pilot will advise if unable to comply with the speed assignment. To aircraft operating beneath Class B airspace or in a VFR corridor designated through Class B airspace: assign a speed not more than 200 knots. To arrival aircraft operating below 10,000 feet: Turbojet aircraft: Assign a speed not less than 210 knots, except for the aircraft as specified in subparagraph b above, or Assign a speed not less than 170 knots when the aircraft is within 20 flying miles of the runway threshold. Reciprocating and turboprop aircraft: Assign a speed not less than 200 knots, or Assign a speed not less than 150 knots when the aircraft is within 20 flying miles of the runway threshold.

What's the aspect ratio on this setup? You are sacrificing horizontal but not vertical compared with the UW, right?

Are you sure about that TOGA labeling @ 14:05?

As a former controller (USAF/FAA/DOA Australia), I think Pilotedge is as real as it gets. The professionalism and unexpected happenings add to the immersion. The only exception is the same controller is forced to work multiple facilities. ATC staffing is often a real-world issue and it applies in the sim world as well.

Can you confirm the viewing area height? That is, not including the frame bezel. I think it's the same as my 3 x 24" Dells which is 12" height.

You're right. The ATC declaration is not a requirement.

As a former FAA controller, it is true and I've seen emergencies declared by ATC rather than the PIC. One time at JFK Tower, I witnessed an emergency declared for an inop APU! "Minimum Fuel" declarations are another area of confusion.

The CRG9 has some curvature doesn't it? Is there any distortion associated with the curved monitors? I notice with my 3 X 24", I have some distorted views when looking far left/right.

Just curious how you like the Samsung 49, overall. Did you make the change from a 3-monitor setup? I have had a 3-monitor for years and contemplated making the change for both P3Dv4.5 and XP11.

When I first saw your photo, I thought you were Glenn Beck.

Thanks, good idea.

Do you mean the Samsung 49 inch? I've had 3 X 24 inch for years and threatened to go to single monitor for years. Each time I've had the urge to make a change, I've backed down. I've seen the Samsung 49 in a local (Texas) Microsoft store with various games but not P3D or XP11. The Samsung 49 seemed like the perfect solution to avoid the dreaded bezels and yet retain most of the current width. Not being well versed on technical monitor considerations, I'd like to see a variety of YouTube options. Do you know of any sites to view comparisons?

Except in the full FAR Part 121 airline world with transport types (i.e. B737, B757, A320, etc.). In that environment, flight plans are electronically loaded in FMS once the aircraft dispatcher prepares and releases the flight.

I believe OnAir works with XP11; is that accurate? I understand there will be AH2 for XP11 sometime next year but that could be one year from now.

Do you have a link for On Air?

I've been on FSE (FS Economy) since the beginning. I've never heard of On Air.

The answer is a negative.

Same here. I thought it was just me. My setup is RXP G530/G430 won't work in w/ CDI GPS. I believe it does work in VLOC. The FD is screwed up also. I reported to Carenado. Of course, no interest and no response. If you're interested:

Do you find sticks better than yokes? I don't know if I can use a stick for an airplane that has a real world yoke (e.g. A2A V35, XP11 TBM 900). I've had the CH Eclipse for years.

No addition of GA / Military yet; is that accurate?

Did you upgrade to v1.2?
