Ah that’s awesome to hear! What sectors do you work? There’s a controller that’s my brothers in laws neighbor out in apple valley. Don’t know her too well. She went through the academy back in 2015.

Where are you working now? You left Duluth right before Covid correct?

I had a 4080 which had 16GB of VRAM. I used it for 4k and it was a terrible experience. It’s just not enough VRAM to enjoy well at 4k. I ended up switching to the 5090 and it was the best decision. I use pmdg and Fenix along with other well known aircraft developers at airports like inibuilds. In these situations, VRAM hangs in the low 20s consistently with 4k. For smaller default airports and default planes, I’m still using close to 14Gb of VRAM. I also use the dynamic LOD software. I have it set to 200 until 3000 AGL then 800 for the high altitudes. 200 still asks for a lot of VRAM.

Glad you got it figured out! Nice! 😊

What happens when you click your mapped button twice? First press to disconnect the autopilot and then what happens when you press that same button again?

Good job for Fenix. They are becoming what PMDG use to be for the community. They are top of the line with their airbii. I’m excited to see what comes from all the hard work they are doing.

I don’t have experience with it personally. But what I’ve seen on the YouTube, it looks very very nice. 😊

I’ll bite.. I grew up on Flightsim, since I was 8 in fact. I’m a captain on the 737 in US. Playing Flightsim is a part of life. Do I have desires to fly the same plane on Flightsim? No, not really. Feels to much like work. However I do have the desire to fly other planes in the same context as my job. Do I want to have it be exactly like my job? No lol but being close would be nice. i enjoy flying like my job because on Flightsim i can do what i want, when i want with the if difference of not being regulated by the FAA. I don’t play on vatsim…i just do my own things without ATC. I see your point but your arrogance is a bit much. I wouldn’t call someone obsessed just because they enjoy what they do in the real world and want to experience it in a much less regulated way. I mean, I can have a beer while I fly in Flightsim. Obviously can’t do that in the real world. Also, your statement about 99% of people don’t pretend to be pilots is odd. Everyone plays this game that is explicitly about being a pilot and flying planes and other things. Do you use it to walk around on the ground and drive cars or something?

Great write up. I agree with all points. One question I have is why do you say it’s an impossible ask to have parents enforce this? Wouldn’t that be the easier way to enforce this? Isn’t it the job of a parent to monitor things like this? Law or not, in my opinion, the fact that a law has to be enacted shows a miserable failure on the part of the parents to well….be parents.

I’m looking very closely at this bird. Does the VNAV throw the nose over and try to overspeed you with a high CI at the top of descent? If not, it’s not a study level 737!!! I kid of course but I’m somewhat serious. Would be cool if it did.

Another very peculiar point is that the article says Wall had a legitimate commercial certificate but upgraded and never got the ATP. How on earth does that happen in an airline training environment? I must be missing something. Did Air Canada require their upgrade applicants to get an ATP on their own time and then go through the required airline training? Something is really weird here. I may be reading the article incorrectly.

I have to ask, why aren’t you able to set these things with your mouse? Genuinely curious.

Ah ok, YouTube is the official determination of truth now? Good grief, we are in more trouble that I thought.
