    Petter from Mentour Now and Ben from AirlinePilotPerformance are presenting a series of training videos on getting the 737 cockpit setup from cold and dark to programming the FMC to getting the plane airborne.  They each have about 20 years of experience on the 737 and are training pilots.

    They go into detail as to the why's of the procedures.  Hope those using the PMDG 737 might find these helpful.

    Thanks turbomax and flyforever for your responses!

    Sounds like a steep learning curve to get setup but once you overcome those hurdles, it works well.

    I've found these two setup videos -the Flightsim & Other Stuff one doesn't go through the same level of assigning specific numbering to all the keys as does TOGATech.

     

    Which is the preferred route in your experience?

     

    Also has anyone had experience with this add on found flightsim.to?

    Hi Folks,

    I see that it is possible to use the Behringer X-touch mini as an input device when coupled with Axis & ohs.

    I'm considering purchasing one and am interested in hearing people's feedback who have used it.

    Use case would typically be for G1000 in C172  and use with the WTmod CJ4

    Any experience specifically with those uses would ideal but also interested in general happiness with the setup.

    Thanks,

    Chris

    I would love to start seeing lots of BIRDS!  Like we do in our real world...at least in places.  Silly me bought the birds addon for NE Canada, and saw a small flock of geese the other day flying over the runway as I was cleared for TO.   This is a great thing including the rare bird strike and hopefully they will get all the way there, and I think they may well some day, Asobo that is.  Maybe even some day ATC will comment when those birds are in the vicinity of the airport  you're near.   

    Actually heard a bird warning on CYYZ's ATIS broadcast on Friday morning, so having those in the game would be a neat addition.

    I had CYYZ from FlyTampa back when I was regularly fying P3D and enjoyed it although it struggled a bit on frame rates.

    Went and purchased the MSFS one today and have flown around it with AIG Traffic active -other than the ADE files it was a feast to behold.  Perhaps not as up to date but certainly fantastic textures and good perfomance. Pleased with my purchase.

    Majestic Software?...   yeah, no.  They have not started development and best case soonest would be on the 5-6 year cycle (may not even be around then).  I recall reading that some of the SDK items they were looking are not planned to be implemented, MSFS has move forward.

    They've continued to develop projects like cockpit builder's edition (talk about niche) and are soon to release the training edition for P3D.  I'm not sure how much of their heart is into making the switch to MSFS even in light of the vastly improved sales numbers they would experience.

    i had a warning during AI-Manager installation:

    Your local windows settings do not allow usage of paths longer than 256 characters! This can cause problems during an installation-process. Should we AIM now enable long paths in your Windows Registry? 

    Did someone had the same issue?  To be honest i don't like to mess with Registry.

    thanks

     

     

     

    I went ahead and said yes.  No problems in AIG or elsewhere so far.

    Basically, the AS addon is a paid addon, and all it does is reskins the default Asobo models (the horrible ones) with real world liveries, to an unrealistic extent. i.e. you will have easyjet/ryanair liveries on the asobo 'a330' model

    AIG uses its own models, i.e. an A330, will look like an A330, an A380 will look like a A380 as so on, it uses real world flight plans and the best thing it's free,

    I am probably missing a few others pros for AIG, but for me AIG is the more realistic option and it's free, and Aerosoft have even said there simple traffic is not meant as a full AI traffic solution, more a temporary fix until there's a more complete solution, which AIG is

    My experience with AIG in P3D was that it was so good at creating a 'living airport' that sometimes I would just park my plane on the apron of FlyTampa's CYYZ and watch the planes taking off and landing.  Virtual plane spotting, if you will.  The AIG schedules closely matched the real world schedules shown in FlightAware (pre-Covid).

    As mentinoned above -better models, better liveries, realistic schedules and realistic airport population.

    I suspect that most of the Asobo programmers are not going to be helping with Chinese localization.

    Distressing that Kai is only getting high level communication via Jorg - I would hope that they'd put Kai in touch with the team working on that 'started' item.  Also wondering if WT will get involved since they will be tackling ATC and that certainly will need to interact with AI traffic as well

    @ctalpas, thanks for your comment, and yes I have, especially since I was one of the airport engineers that installed all the airport lighting at YMML in the 1970s, born & bred in Melbourne, learned to fly at YTYA & YMMB etc etc.  But for Sydney I had great Orbx payware for the airport and the city whereas there is none for Melbourne yet - I keep posing about that elsewhere!  I think I read there is some technical issue with the sim scenery around Melbourne.  Maybe I will have to go with the Melbourne scenery the way it is.  There is some freeware I might look at again.  Do you have any particular reason for wanting Melbourne (other than I live there)?Cheers.

    @FrankPilot When I visited Australia a few years back,we took in Sydney, Port Douglass, Darwin, Uluru and then back to Sydney,  My better half was not interested in yet another destination, so Melbourne didn't make it.  I've had colleagues who lived in Melbourne and said it was quite impressive and compared well to Sydney.  Don't think I'll be going to Australia again any time soon, so thus my desire to experience it vicariously .  You being from there brought back the desire to see Melbourne and what better guide than a local.
