I get that Avsim needs revenue from popups; but I did a search and could not exit. My screen was totally taken over; I tried the X and every option except "find out more". This is ridiculous.

I keep getting the notification that the PMDG ops center can't connect to PMDG servers. Been a few weeks of this. Donald Traill

Thanx a lot... Donald

I know I have to press APR mode when I see the VNAV glideslope but I never see the glide slope. Are you saying it doesn't work with Reality XP?

SOLVED!!! I redownloaded and reinstalled the trainer. For the life of me I don't know how my in game GPS kept working when there was such a problem for the trainer.

My GTN will not descend according to VNAV on autopilot. I hear "Vertical track" but no glide-slope appears till it would normally in the approach. After much hair pulling I looked at my Garmin Trainer. I found that my trainer has a VCALC mode while my RXP GTN has a VNAV mode. I am flabbergasted. How can the RXP GTN be working when the trainer has different modes??? Yes, my GPS is fully functional otherwise other than VNAV. X plane also is affected by this BTW. Please help! Donald

Me Too!!! Donald

Carenado claims that their X plane 11 B1900 was optimised for VR. I will say that is true of all of the switches. But if you want to use the GPS it will have to be on your 2D monitor, as this video shows... https://www.twitch.tv/videos/156204545

Jet fuel can't burn hot enough to melt steel beams; but plenty hot enough to weaken them critically. Even in fires in high rises that had not been hit by airplanes there are many cases of firefighters giving up and evacuating because of the risk of the building collapsing. Such as the Meridian building in Philadelphia. The type of construction used throughout the World Trade Center has now been banned. Trusses can give great strength at low mass, but are only as strong as the weakest part of the structure. Buildings need high mass to survive fire. One of the floors collapsed at each of the three WTC buildings, then the floor below it had to support two floors and collapsed immediately. And so on. There is no reserve of strength in a steel truss floor. Donald

People who believe in chemtrails always point to contrails being different in appearance or lasting longer than they used to. It seems to me debunkers are really dropping the ball when it comes to the science. I have seen no one touch the fact of how ever increasing bypass ratios in airline engines are the real reason behind the perceived changes in contrails and how they tend to last longer or provide the nucleus of new clouds more often. Contrails really have changed since most of us old timers were kids; why don't we hear more about the real reason why? Donald

I would definitely buy this plane if it had a GTN 750 in the VC. No questions asked. Donald

I have the migration tool, can I just use that? I have both FSX and P3D. Donald

Then why does their site say this: The ultimate simulation of the a Magnificent Douglas Classic, the DC-6 Cloudmaster is now available in Laminar Research's X-Plane 10 on Windows! And there is nothing stopping anyone from placing it in their cart and attempting checkout. Clear as mud if you ask me, I bet I wasn't the only one to think it was released after Frooglesim's video. DOnald

I just tried to buy the DC-6, but how much does it really cost??? It looks like they stuck with the 12 million price all through the transaction; it was over my card's limit so no sale!!!! Ridiculous... Donald

I enjoy X plane but most of my friends online use FSX or P3D so I don't fly X-plane as much. I am looking to find more X plane users who like multi player; especially in General Aviation aircraft and helis. We could either use default multiplayer or the plug-in the .org uses for their fly-ins. I also have Smart Copilot for shared cockpit in compatible planes. When I am flying the teamspeak I am most often at is Digital Theme park. The address is ts3.digitalthemepark.com Looking forward to getting more use out of X-Plane!!! Donald

Just to clarify; it seems if your friend upgrades his hardware what will get him the most bang for the buck is a new video card, The Nvidia card with the best price/performance tradeoff is the 970 IMHO. Donald

A big help to populating X-plane is a freeware scenery package that covers 23000 airports to a level above the FSX default. It really improves X plane and if you have custom scenery for an airport it will be loaded in higher priority so there is no conflict. I forget how to spell it... drewzeskie or something but I bought their New York scenery and airport package for X plane because I heard of a lot of OOMs in FSX and p3d.. I have all three plus DCS and Rise of Flight. My next purchase will be an additional hard drive :>) All of these sims have their pluses and minuses.. But it seems DCS has the most realistic heli dynamics, especially ground effect. I would fly X-plane a lot more if I could find more multiplayer buddies that use it... I am usually on TS3 when I fly and the server I am usually at most of the time is Digital ThemePark which is the Teamspeak address of ts3.digitalthemepark.com I also have Smart Copilot for shared cockpit in the Dreamfoil 407 and the Nils BK-117. I also enjoy fixed wings when the mood hits, usually GA.

I would love to fly a virtual PC-24; payware or freeware. Please keep us posted!!! Donald

I wonder if Pilotedge Traffic doubled when Orbx Socal came out. Donald

Does it happen when you are flying formation? Active sky wake turbulence effect is busted and should be set to zero. Donald

Ditto on the flight dynamics... with a caveat. I very much enjoy flying on two engines. It handles well in flight and through the flare to landing. Notwithstanding the different types this flies as well as their Titan. However... there is no drag with a windmilling prop. Which is just as well since there is no way to feather a failed or shut down engine's prop. As long as you are not expecting real world single engine performance, this is a decent hand flyer and the AP is pretty intuitive... if you have flown the A2A P-51 Civilian version... One simple thing I wish they would fix is to put in the clickspot to bring up the GTN 750 2D popup. Donald

I loaded up my weight and GF weight and baggage to head down to warmer weather. Enough fuel to bring me to gross weight. Trying to make Florida before the fuel or oxygen run out. KABE- KSPG with dual GTN 750s... have to do a WAAS approach when I get there. 9.4 hours on the Hobbs... be over 11 when I land. Donald

OK so what you are saying is that something like FL 25 would only be used to avoid weather or something? Or is FL 25 better for economy and 17000 better for speed?

Thank you for the reply Robert. Maybe I wasn't clear about the O2 tanks. You already have an option for a ten hour tank. I was hoping for something between the two and ten, like maybe a three or four or five hour tank. Though maybe you think if a ten galllon tank is used it would replace the passenger and be only used for ferry flights and tanks over two hours pose the same problem. Donald
