Fps over London after WU 17
edpatino replied to adaniel's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
Just the opposite to me. My next door neighbor got the same (we think these POI's are in some way on the "heavy" side). He owns ORBX London Landmarks, made a comparison with and without, and when using it he gets better fps than without. -
Got the same e-mail from REX and the AccuSeasons version I had installed is the same that the one contained in the e-mail, so nothing new for me.

Discover London low and slow after WU XVII
edpatino replied to ikbenik's topic in The AVSIM Screen Shots Forum
It would be interesting to check the sim's performance with these new POI's compared to the previous London with the ORBX London Landmarks installed, because it looks that both are adding more or less the same emblematic 3d-modeled buildings. monuments, bridges, etc. Anyone? -
This trend of excessive use of smartphones is destroying the essence of people's relationships. There is a clear tendency to abuse text messages and other means such as WhatsApp or Telegram to replace face-to-face communications. You can understand the tendency when communicating with people who live far away or in a different country, but unfortunately this also happens very often with people who live in the same city and neighborhood.

ATR 42/72 -600 updated v. 1.0.36
edpatino replied to turbomax's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
I can see you probably don't have the 42/72 models from Asobo installed, otherwise the boost button it's easily locatable just left to the power management (PWR MGT) rotary switch on the 72-600 model and above the PEC's 1 and 2 buttons. The boost button has two possible settings: FAULT and ON. I was reading of the aircraft's FCOM that should be tested during the cockpit prep procedure similar to the testing of the EEC-1 and EEC-2 switches. From a link that appeared weeks ago on the MSFS official forums: https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/atr-72-integral-lights-of-the-boost-push-button-are-not-being-illuminated/627507 Sorry I'm not able (or, lazy enough I would say) to post pics here at AVSIM as they're still using the same obsolete procedure of about ten or more years and anyone is able to upload images directly from anyone's computers, except those coming from url servers. -

Interesting, but now talking exclusively about the 72-600 that your company do not have, why could be the reason they (ATR) added a boost button on the 72-600 if they can always go past the notch as you say, or even to full blast if needed during take-off in stressful conditions?. Just curious and thanks again. -

Just curious, but recently read that the ATR72-600 has a boost function to be used in special ocasions, like high airport temperature, low-pressure or high airport elevation. Is this function only used during take-off or it's intended to be also used during initial climb or during climbing to the cruise altitude?. Is the boost button disconnected by itself when some conditions occur, or it's totally manually managed by the pilots?. Do the 42-600 have a similar function?. Maybe our @ATRguy has time to let us (or only me) learn a bit more about it?. Thanks in anticipation. -

AviaPlanner - an alternative?
edpatino replied to jcomm's topic in The X-Plane General Discussions Forum
Maybe in five years or so... -
I would only suggest you change the titles and put a word about the product coming from you and not from PMDG.
