  1. This thread has been fun to read for the most part. It's quite apparent (to me at least) who the real Pilots are on here and who are the fantasists. "Flying" a computer in your bedroom for hundreds or thousands of hours does NOT qualify you to comment on the realism of the weather system in MSFS. So best stop making a fool of yourselves posting nonsense about what is, or isn't realistic. You don't know - you are not qualified to fly a real aircraft and will have little or no experience flying in "real weather" except maybe from the back of a holiday jet. The aerodynamics and weather depiction in the MSFS game are not realistic. It's a total bodge job. Period. For those not from the United Kingdom: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/bodge_job#:~:text=bodge%20job%20(plural%20bodge%20jobs,without%20using%20the%20correct%20tools. Enjoy this game. I've uninstalled mine. Back to the real skies. Much less stressful :)
  2. You're at the runway threshold at 90 knots in which aircraft? You have read the POH for the Cessna Caravan haven't you? If not your answer lies there. Hint: vREF 🙂
  3. I worked it out at 295 if you're at FL330, -45c and 173kts so it's pretty spot-on but if that's full power it does look rather slow. Mach .5 OK just checked. Normal cruise speed apparently 340kts (although it didn't say what altitude. I'm presuming FL310-FL350 ish) I enjoyed flying the FSX Mustang despite it being a CPU hog. Not sure about this one.
  4. I stand corrected thank you. I always switch addon's in the linker so assumed (a bad word in aviation) that the V35 was also in my community folder. Ooops.
  5. LOL. Gotta love Photogrammetery (or however it's spelt). I have had this "offline" message today also. Then it tried to log me in on my XBOX - except I don't own an XBOX...grr
  6. I like the current weather "radar" - it reminds me of playing games on my Commodore 64. Seriously though. Maybe they could fix the weather first and then add a proper weather radar. Oh wait - apparently they have fixed it. Great.
  7. I haven't bought many add-ons. Am waiting to see if Asobo bother to fix stuff first. I bought one aircraft - the Carenado V35 - from the marketplace (I don't think it was available anywhere else) and it automatically got installed straight into my community folder which I didn't want (I use the addon linker to save loading time etc). I prefer to support developers directly without Microsoft taking a percentage. They're rich enough as it is.
  8. Ignore! Either AVSIM or my browser just broke. AGAIN.
  9. Ignore! Either AVSIM or my browser just broke.
  10. Oh dear. Yet more budget eye-candy. Have they bothered to fix the PC-12 yet?
  11. I just did - in the Cessna 172. Aircraft twerked from side to side like Shakira. No effect on altitude. No updrafts. No downdrafts. Looks pretty - otherwise it's a joke sorry.
  12. Watch and weep. Lots of weird yaw. No major updrafts or downdrafts. Totally unrealistic. Just how the xbox kids wanted it.
  13. This is what it's like in the real-world flying into Hurricane Ian. MSFS is seriously dumbed down compared to this. I guess the XBOX kids have won the argument 😞 https://www.bbc.com/news/live/world-us-canada-63064253
  14. Thank you for the explanation most appreciated.
