I have an easy feeling in believing of UFOs and life from outside this planet, however, I have an extremely hard time believing of space travel of anything organic. Even if wormholes and such made it possible to travel great distances in short time, even if traveling at light speed was a thing, the logistics of travel by anything that needs food, medicine etc is where everything falls apart for me. Perhaps because to an advance civilizations I am but a small mind.

I'm no solar expert but I do live completely off grid and have 1.3kW of solar panels and 14000Wh of battery bank with 2 of the 3 of them being EcoFlow power stations. Only thing I didnt like about the OP video, and while its not his duty to point this out, is the lack of protection from the solar panels to the inverter. I'd highly recommend and inline fuse connected as close to the panels as possible and then a circuit breaker between the panels and the invert. That allows ease of access to turn off the power coming in without having to unplug the panels from the inverter to do so. Runway DC power is no joke so fuses and breakers are low cost and great protection.

That SOB?!..yeah he was a great one. Its a lot of the breed as they love to work with/for you. He was a Brittany. That video was when he was young and in training from back in 2005-06 era but shortly after he was always off leash and I could leave him on a bench or golf cart at our busy marina for an hour and come back and he would still be there bc he knew his release word. He worked with me everyday at the marina and rode around on my golf cart. He had a great life for sure and I said goodbye to him back in 2017 where he was 14 and health to the end. Yeah, I'm looking at getting force feedback pedals in the future. Will be my last upgrade to the simpit. Going to add a roof a/c to the hangar next year. I'm just finishing my van build for my home and that set me back but totally worth it.

I finished my hangar and updated my my simpit from previous seen videos and just wanted to show all who are interested in getting ideas on building a simpit or place to house one in a new video. For the hangar, I poured and epoxy floor and redid the walls and lighting to give an executive hangar look. The only thing left to do in the future is put a roof mount a/c on. as for the simpit, its the extra 430/kln90 gps, Comanche flap bar and a few other items that have been added or switched out.

You have a valid point but I feel it was misdirected on Peter. Peter is an OG in flight simming. I worked with Peter at Cape Air on Nantucket back in 2000, him as a pilot and me as a second job ramp agent but both simmers. I'm happy to see him back in the forums but also feel your viewpoint is respectful and noteworthy, just one that I dont agree with in this case.

I went to do some gliding yesterday and I no longer have a wingman and can not get the tow plane to move by wig wagging my rudder. Any thoughts? I have assistance on for airport vehicles.

Well its great to know that they are looking to create some staples in GA and showing most of their entire GA fleet. So lets get those out on the market so they can focus on the real fun planes from their catalog starting hopefully in 2028.

Guess its gonna be double windsocks for me!

Thanks for this post as I too am interested in this.

New to me is the Garmin FAA Data Comm feature starting on GTN750Xi and working its way up the Garmin suite of glass cockpits. https://www.garmin.com/en-US/aviation/fltplan/faa-data-comm/overview/ Heres a demo video of it which is basically CPDLC for small aircrafts. Can you imagine having this feature working with the TDS GTN750Xi for Pilot Edge and Say Intentions maybe working through SimBrief?! This is the list of airports where its available in RL. ELIGIBLE AIRPORTS Airports eligible for DCL service include: (Triangle ∆ indicates DCL. All are PDC eligible unless indicated by x.)

Can someone answer what that round menu is in the video posted by St Mawgan? Is it a chaseplane thing or something? Found it. Flow by Parallel42.

Still havent gotten a chance to look at my scenery but was the fix specific to your install or is there now a patch out for it?

I'll see what I can do but I had no issues with the scenery. Got any areas of interest I can use to send you a comparison shot?

Where I live, a drink out cost about the same as an addon airport. So its easy to rationalize investing into my hobby. Now with MSFS offering the world in true to life texture instead of landclass tiles as well as Say Intentions offering AI and local accents for both IFR and VFR, I'm doing flightseeing tours and purchasing as many good quality airports as I can along my routes. The only main freeware airports I use are from Vincent Bazillio and I have sent him funds for his contributions as his work is highly worthy of it. Being an eye-candy enthusiast and lover of small GA planes, mega sized airports don't interest me unless they have a great modeled FBO area. So the few airports I added to my collection in the past few days have been: KHIO 7S3 KPVD (Dreamflight) I usually pickup airports on sale unless I'm "in the area" and will be flying there in the near future. I had to make a Google Earth map just to keep track of the airports I have installed. I know I've brought scenery in the past for P3D on sale and never even visited them as I had plans on it but then MSFS came out. My goal is to have airports that are close enough to go from one to another in the Comanche or Baron within 2 hours of each other and my main areas of flying are the West Coast and New England in the USA, Greece, Oz and New Zealand.

I like the ideal of being able to start based on a set location to the plane. I would use this with the default C172 with the REP addon. I'd be interested in seeing if you could do a proper preflight walk around mixing the walk around of this with the preflight of REP?
