what would happen, if you cross the border to china? would you automatically change to metric system and climb to, e.g. FL331 from FL330 and adjust all future step climbs, i.e. instead of FL350 to the next approriate metric counterpart? It's very interesting to hear how different certain airspaces in different countries are operated, thanks Rob! Dominik Teda

Thank you very much guys, it is always amazing that one always learn something new! much appreciated. Dominik Teda

Thanks Kyle, that was very informative. So i guess the FL in the OFP is rather discretionary than obligatory in most cases (except for certain regions like north atlantic). Dominik Teda

hello everyone, i recently watched the justplanes video Air Canada flight from vancouver to sydney and i realized that the flightcrew entered step climbs into the flightplan (in the fmc) manually at certain waypoints via a command (e.g. 350/S). My questions are now the following: When do you "hardcode" the flightlevel change into the flightplan instead of climbing when the fmc wants you to, i.e. when reaching the s/c point? Is it due to some restrictions along an airway or due to the reason they were flying over the pacific? If the second question is not the case, wouldn't it be more fuel efficient to just climb when the aircraft says so instead of climbing at particular waypoints along the route? I'm just curious :ph34r: and would be thankful if somebody could give me an answer (which is understandable for a not-real-life-pilot :unsure: ). Bes regards Dominik

As far as i know, both programs together might cause conflicts but i am not entirely sure about it. If you are happy with ASN, then it would be more reasonable to buy EZCA. However, the opus camera itself is much more superior in terms of realism. While EZCA supplies "random" movement to indicate all the shaking etc. which might happen during all phases of flight, they are entirely unrealistic and do not fit well in order to simulate turbulence effects. If you just want a camera in order to comfortably change your views and move around, EZCA is totally sufficient and will most like work better together with ASN. If i were in your position, i would buy EZCA. Dominik

Perhaps you are confusing the Opus weather map with the PMDG weather radar however, glad to hear all the positive comments concerning that big bird, gonna get it too soon. Dominik

Weather radar working with Opus? Could you clarify, i thought it only works with ASN :huh: Dominik

is the trim within the green band? I encountered a similar message on rwy line-up. I found out that my trim was not within the green band. Dominik

And I have to disagree with you on that :P . In my eyes, OPUS is the most superior product. Stephen's innovative approach was it, which lay the foundation of current weather programs and I think he will still be one step ahead of them all B) . Just hope, he soon focuses on finding a way of making the triple seven's weather radar and his program work together. Dominik

What an outstanding feature! Dominik

I solved my crashes by adding 0.05v to my cpu voltage. It worked like a dime whereas every other fix did not. Whether the .dll file, nor setting cpu back to default etc.. it was just the cpu which somehow needed more juice

Thanks for the explanation! I am relieved that one can change the time compression manually, i feared that i had no option to manually choose the max amount of time acceleration. Very neat feature, cleverly implemented and very very useful for people like me who would like to do mid- to long hauls but have not enough time. Thanks Mike and enjoy the beta phase!

Excuse me guys, i havent fully understood the mechanism of this feature? Does, after i right click on the chrono, the acceleration start automatically or do i have to manually accelerate time via FSX top menu? And is it possible to alter the max amount of acceleration? Some weather engines do not like time acceleration thanks for clarifying! what a tremendous idea that is! Dominik

Hello, i am quite confused about the turbulences from OpusFSX. Are they "fake" or are the induced by the weather generated by OpusFSX? What i mean is, besides the head-movement, is the aircraft really experiencing the turbulences? Perhaps to make it clear, i dont own OpusFSX yet, i own ASE and with ASE the aircraft "really" reacts to, for exampale down- or updrafts or cloud turbulences. For me it wouldn't make much sense to buy a new weather-engine which exclusively "shows" the weather but does not create the "causes" like the above stated turbulences. i hope someone can clarify what i can expect from this program concerning the "accuracy" of the turbulences and whether it is just "head bouncing" or real behavior of the aircraft. thank you in advance

As far as i know, Singapore airlines used or still uses B772 for flights from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur which is also a very short hop...
