How many aircraft you've flown as passenger in real world
For me, civil and military Civil: B707 B727-100/200 B737-200/300/400/500/700/800 B747-200/300/400 B757-200 B767-200/300 B777-200 A300 A319 A320 A321 A332-200/300 A380 DC9 DC10 L-1011 MD80 F27 F50 F28 Emb 120 Emb 190 Gulfstream 2 Learjet 35 Twin Otter Nomad 22 BAC 1-11 DH8-200/300/400 ATR42 ATR72 JS31 Shorts 360 SF340 SF2000 BAE146 SW3 SW4 C182 C172 PA28 M20C BE55 BE58 C414 Military: F18 Mir 3 A4 C130-E/H CC08 P3 HS748 CH47 B206 MB326 UH1H CT4B I think that's it Craig

Alarm sound on takeoff-roll
737_800 I think the warning for flaps and trim are based on values on the FMC. Did you enter any details into the FMC before your test? Craig

CS 727 "Don't Sink" During Initial Climb?
I get the same announcement occasionally with the PMDG NGX and just ignore it. Cheers Craig

PMDG MD-11 External Model Not Visible...Just VC is Visible. (Forgot name in last post)
I had this problem when I first installed it. You need to have the scenery density slider at dense or better from memory. Rgds Craig

Two airports,but where am I?
The Second looks like Stavanger Craig

No DME info on PFD
In a no radar environment and with IMC the cutoff distance for dep maybe 3nm so a 4nm call will help the tower controller decide whether to depart an aircraft or not
-
No DME info on PFD
109.9 in Nav 1 113.0 in Nav 2. Because there isn't a DME with the ILS the dist wont be displayed on the PFD, make sure you switch VOR 1 and 2 on on the glare shield panel and dist will be displayed on the ND on the bottom right

If you could fly any aircraft what would you fly?
SR71

FSL Airrbus vs Airbus Extended X
The comparison between the AXE and the FSL A320 is surely just stupid. The AXE is designed for the middle of the road hobby simmer where the FSL as I understand it is designed for those who want total functionality, and more importantly like the MJC DH8D, they have commercial customers in mind as a training product. So totally different markets. Just a thought Craig

Thank You Hi-Fi
CraigyW replied to geolpilot's topic in The AS16 and ASCA | Active Sky | Active Sky Next | XPAX Support ForumHi Flew into LSZH today with low vis due to fog and mist etc. Amazing!!! Been flying around Europe last couple of days and didn't see any difference between ASE and ASN. But landing in ENZV was pretty good with the broken at 800 but Zurich did it for me Craig

Erratic wind behaviour
Ahhh ok thanks Kyle

Erratic wind behaviour
Hi Not sure if this is a PMDG or fsx issue. I have run both ASE and REX and am getting very strange wind behaviour. It veers, backs and does 180 deg changes in the space of seconds when in the cruise, climb and descent. I have selected wind smoothing and variance suppression in FSUIPC. Any ideas as to the cause and solutions? Also I have CH throttle quad and on takeoff I advance the throttles to 40% and then engage the A/T. It thrust advances to the programmed thrust level but when I move the throttle levers to the max it trips the A/T switch. Manual override is set to never in the setup. Any ideas to fix the problem welcome. Thanks Craig

UAL YSSY Incident
looks to me like a burst tyre has caused the other tyre to go and the shrapnel rubber has done the damage

Near Miss of two 747's over Scotland
Believe it or not there are probably at least a thousand near misses or near hits as they should be called every week around the world due to a multitude of reasons. A point about the Überlingen mid-air collision, one of the Swiss controllers involved in the accident was murdered on his front door step in front of his children by a father of one of the children who died in the Tu154. very sad indeed.

Today's use of VORs and NDB / DME
Thing is NDB and VORs still exist because not all aircraft have FMCs. Furthermore, it is not cost effective to install ILS approaches to every runway and so available instrument approaches are dependent on the volume of commercial traffic to that particular airfield. After all, user pays. Also re VORs and TACANs, not sure if current systems do it but they did use VORs etc as a check to confirm the accuracy of the IRS.
