Skiff

I have the CLS-E. I love it, but I don't know if I'd buy it again. When it's configured properly, it's amazing. That said, it's a lot of work to get it configured correctly and keep it running with various Windows and other software updates. After I've had it disconnected for a while, I find myself reluctant to fly because it's a lot of effort to get it set back up. In fact, I'm moving to a Honeycomb Alpha for "everyday" flying. Much easier to just start flying rather than spending an hour fiddling with configuration details.

Nvidia usually releases drivers every other Tuesday, so I'm hopeful there will be an update today.

I usually get 9-15mbps when downloading from Steam, and typically have no issues with downloads from Aerosoft, PMDG, FSLabs, etc. Just SimMarket tends to have this problem for me.

Similar for me. On my 100mbit connection the fastest I get from Simmarket is 75Kb/sec, and usually much slower than that.

When does the sale start and stop?

Yeah, I think the Aerosoft PFPX forum now covers whatever info there is about Topcat.

For whatever reason, FlightAware doesnt capture NAT tracks. Notice on both your examples that only North American data is shown.

If you right click on the windows volume icon and select mixer, you should be able to adjust the volume of each application. Does that help with setting the volume correctly?

Wholeheartedly recommend FSUIPC for this as well. Additionally, you may also want to adjust your power management on your PC. Not necessarily the case here, but if Windows puts your USB controllers to sleep, it’s possible when woken up FS will recognizes them as a new controller, which would look like a “reset” of your assignments.

Go into the GSX settings for the airport and click the small airplane icon. That will align the jetways to the airports elevation.

No videos from beta testers? Presumably they wouldn’t have “available now” on them.

There seems to be a common thread that I’m seeing across PBR enabled airports: all of them have problems on arrival. FSDT KORD and ImagineSim WSSS and KATL all seem to have some combination of floating buildings, slow performance, and crashes. None of these issue seem seem to happen on departure. Only arrival.

Couple things to check: what’s your screen resolution? Is there any chance that the buttons are there but the window needs to be resized? Second, have you adjusted your font size at all? Sometimes that can cause text/buttons to flow off screen.

I still use it frequently, finding it provides better performance in ForeFlight than the “output to GPS” option in P3D. When you say say it doesn’t start, what happens? Just double click and nothing happens? Gives an error?

As I recall (I'm in front of my flight sim PC) that's a terrain.cfg issue. Check the Orbx forums, but I believe you can delete terrain.cfg and have it be rebuilt the next time you start a flight. It'll take quite some time to do the rebuild, and usually appears to freeze at 6%, but it worked for me.

Makes sense! Just wanted to point out that it’s an invalid time.

One thing you may want to update: for boarding time you have it as 1962 as an example.

For what it's worth, I had a similar problem over the weekend and this seemed to resolved it.

Curious if the new skeleton system may eventually carry over into the passengers? Improved animations for them would be amazing.

In that case, I'd assume that if you have FD/AP/HUD, your DH/MDA/DA doesn't change, but that you can proceed with 1800RVR provided the measurement is coming from the airfield. If the tower is closed and your relying on McMinville, you have to go back to the published minimums. Just my guess, though...

The chart I see in ForeFlight shows 414 DA when using KSLE ATIS, but when KSLE tower is closed increase DA by 49 ft, MDA 60 ft, as well as some other modifiers. Presumably this helps account for any altimeter variations between Salem and McMinnville.

If you do elect to go back to SimBrief, they have a really great downloaded tool that makes it a snap to export everything you need.

Haven’t tried it personally yet, but you probably need to close the flight on the EFB.

Yeah, same here.

No download link for me, either. Submitted a ticket.
