I had that throttle problem too. It helps to initially give the throttle a little shove with the mouse and then the trottles can be controlled by the joystick/yoke's throttle lever.

Thinking back, way back, to the days of FS 4 and then FS 5, I used to do mostly IFR flights. I had the whole set of Jeppesen European High/Low Altitude enroute charts, a trip kit for the Caribbean, Jeppesen charts for most of the european airports, sector charts for the continental U.S. and terminal charts for New York, Washington D.C, Miami, Las Vegas and San Francisco. Scenery then was kind of simple and dull, so looking out of the cockpit was not really joyful or entertaining.  Instead, planning a flight was the best part of it, followed by shooting the instrument approach. I spent hours and hours simming with my imagination filling what FS then could not visually provide.

Nowadays, with MSFS and its photorealistic worldwide scenery, I mostly do low VFR flights or some short hops with business jets, but most of the time I just enjoy the amazing  scenery. So was I happier then? I don´t know. Maybe, but in any case I was much more engrossed in "real" simming then.

My hometown Gtaz, second largest city in Austria and home of blackshark.ai is perfectly modeled in photogrammetry. Each and every house looks like its real counterpart. The old town with its churches and towers, the mausoleum of Emperor Ferinand II., the town hall, it' all there. The scenery expands way beyond the city limits and beyond LOWG airport.

Currently only available from their shop.

I flew from LOWG to LJMB this morning and life weather presented me with nice clouds and beautiful light morning fog over the rolling Slovenian hillside. I'm on the European server.

can someone give me a quick checklist of things for an ILS landing

.Set ILS frequency either in the NAV radios or the gps, When on HDG mode, intercept the localizer, then watch the glide slope come down and enable APR mode. When the glideslope is caught, the ALT SELmode will go out and the plane follows the ILS.

Version 1.12 is out and available for download on their webshop. It´s a full install, prior versions need to be uninstalled first.

Now flying & trying to figure out the AP

Autopilot engage key is on the center console. Mode keys are on the glareshield panel. And there's the NAV/GPS switch to toggle gps or vor/ils navigation. In order to have the TDS or WT GPs unit you gotta select the corresponding aircraft from the livery menu.

Does WX radar in the middle work?

No. Like any other MSFS aircraft.

Just a thought -have you checked your spam mail folder?

After my purchase I received a total of three mails from PILOT'S. One said 'order received', the next said 'paypal payment received' and the last provided the order number.

Bought it and took it for a touch & go at Innsbruck. Exterior model seems ok but exterior textures leave a lot to be wished for. Way too glossy and no details like where aluminum sheets meet or rivets and the likes. I hope talented painters will give that Dash 7 the honors she deserves

Interior cockpit seems alright, but window posts - mainly the center post - seem too slim, textures are pretty sterile but for 19.99 ok.

She flies well,, but haven't tried the autopilot yet. Sounds are ok so far. 

These are my my first impressions after just a short hop.

PILOT´S Dash 7 has now been released. The plane can be purchased at their web shop.

Mine is stuck at 160 hrs since eternities. I don´t even care.

PILOTS have announced the release of their Dash 7 is imminent this weekend on their web store.

Great shots!

Just some sceenies from the miltechsimulations supercarrier pro addon. Hope they don´t get classified as war/combat shots but if so, mods pls delete.

I prefer the Pipistrel Virus for sightseeing. Great view from the cockpit.

I just purchased Accuseason advanced from the Rex store and upon installing there was an advice not to install into community folder or flightsim folder. So I installed into c:/rex ... and had no problems.

I'd love to have aircraft not to spawn on the runway but at the runway's holding point.

I use FSLTL on my pretty moderate system and haven´t experienced a loss in fps.

It´s real fun to place oneself near the end of a runway at one of the big airports and go planespotting. FSLTL even provides ai traffic with corresponding sounds for startup, taxiing, takeoff etc.

I also had the "please insert game disk" error today. It took me quite a while to repeatedly sign out and in of ms game store and x-box app until it finally worked again. Seems like MSFS has these stupid hickups from time to time ...
