  1. Flown at night many and Ive never used oxygen above 5000 feet. I will say your night vision does pay a bit of the price but remember even in pressurized jets the cabin alt is usually well above 5000 in cruise. I think the 737 I fly IRL sits at like 8000 at F410.
  2. Definitely a day 1 purchase for me. I prefer old aircraft the modern stuff is pretty boring to be honest and I fly the 737 Maxx dor a living.... I hope INI will do a Convair model next maybe a CV340 or 880/990

  4. On the task bar click the speaker Icon and make sure the crystal is the default output device. You can also select the output device in the simulator
  5. Do you see it listed in the free flight aircraft menu? Is it missing or not loading/causing the sim to crash?
  6. I'd love to see a CV990 or CV340 in game but almost everyone seems to be obcessed with flying some random sub variant of the A320 so devs make those.. I find programing an FMS annoying in real life let alone doing it for entertainment. I do love hoping in an old jet or prop liner and reliving the glory days. Glad we have the DC-6.
  7. My point was simply with proper piloting, you'll never be in a bad energy state
  8. Theres a big difference between a stall warning and, a system that takes away pilot control.... I'll be honest, I've never tested to see if the stall warning system works on the PMDG bird, I assume it does but Ive never stalled to test it. Why would I? I should never have the jet in that energy state in the first place.. Kinda like why would you test to see if you can pop a 4 engine jet into a spin or if the simulated computer on the simulated plane will prevent you from doing it. Like I get it that for accuracy it should be there but I don’t think it's a super important thing or somthing that a dev should prioritize over flight dynamics because in reality you should never have an A340 anywhere near a stall let alone a spin.
  9. Definitely excited for this the Default Baron and G36 are boring glass cockpits (I know the real things are glass) but it makes a plane boring and generic when its all a G3000 in every plane in the sim
  10. Yet Ive got 1000+ hours in the 737 in real life and it doesn't have it.. Never stalled it or got into a spin... Stall prevention systems just make up a lack of skill or poor training. I find all the stuff Airbus puts on planes to limit pilot control to a real negative and why I'd never want to fly a bus IRL
  11. Then don't do things that will put the jet in the spin... Been flying for over 20 years IRL and Ive never been in a spin I didn't do on purpose..
  12. Seems like a great little turboprop to me I plan on using it a lot down in New Zealand.
  13. As somone who flies the 737 for a living, half the time I forget if Im flying a 700 or 800 the only reason I remember Im flying a Maxx is because of the big screens lol... The biggest difference is with the 800 you have to double rotate so you don't drag the tail and be a bit more careful on the landing flare other than that they kinda fly the same honestly. Just my experience after about 800hrs flying the 737.
  14. Most of the restorations these comming out these days are whats called data plate restoration ie the only thing original is the data plate and maybe some small parts. 80 years of exposure to the elements has made most original parts unusable if a wreck was recently recovered. This is especially the case for Japanese aircraft whos aluminum was extremely thing to save on weight. Even back during the war it wasn't uncommon for a pilots foot to go through the wing due to the skin being so thin.
  15. My thoughts on it are.... It flies well,it's a GA plane I'm not sure what features people really want from it. It handles like a Bonanza,looks like a Bonanza etc. No it doesn't have spark plug fouling,or a bunch of customization options but you can get out and preflight it check the fuel,oil etc.... Personally I find the simulation of fouled plugs and engine wear/damage to be way over done in sims. Like seriously I've been flying for 24 years and have 6000+ hrs and I've had one engine failure and fouled plugs maybe 15 times usually because a student didnt lean the mixture properly on a hot day...Engine wear is measured over thousands of hours in operation and I've seen engines that were absolutely thrashed go well beyond TBO and babied engine sling a rod at 200hrs. Meanwhile in sim if you run an engine 1 inch to far boom it comes apart after 5 minutes. Personally I can deal without the headaches of that.
