It works well for steam gauge planes but I have issues with glass cockpits

Cool story......

Yea its kind of a dinosaur compared to what I was flying before... Its an odd mix of 90s tech and 1960s basic systems...Honestly even the Maxx even seems kinda dated compared to the E175 atleast automation wise. The 737 is a good plane though and I'd much rather fly it than an Airbus despite all the issues with Boeing..

So I'm currently working on my real world 737 type rating and wanted to use the PMDG 737 as a study aid for flows... So I open up FS on my laptop boom crashes on the loading screen with flightsimulator.exe as the faulting module... I try everything that 20 years of dealing with CTDs in flight simulator have taught me.. Even did a clean install of the sim, removing hundreds of addons and a download that took over a day on slow hotel internet... Nothing still crashing... Ive spent the past few days between study sessions trying to figure it out...Then I notice the time on my computer isn't correct... I see that auto time is turned off... I turn that back on and sync the time and suddenly the sim works again..... Like seriously Microsoft the sim breaks if the time on my PC is wrong.... No other program had an issue...

The Inistuff is pretty modern as is the 146 by that I mean they have an FMS.. I want somthing old, think late 50s early 60s with INS only or even less than that, flying ADF to ADF. In the case of the big flying boats in the sim, I've used dead reckoning to get across the ocean. Was challenging but I was busy the entire crossing... The issue with those or even the Connie or DC6 is how long a crossing takes that's why a classic jet would be a good addition to the sim.. I get it people want to simulate what's currently flying but to me it's more fun to simulate a time in aviation you'll never get to experience. I don't get the opposition folks have to classic jets they are easier to learn and fly because the automation is minimal you actually have to hand fly the plane which is what makes flight sims or flying in real life fun....To me staring at a screen filled with simulated screens while a simulated computer on my computer flies a plane on autopilot isn't really engaging. That's just me though.

Because old jets are fun and cool.... They keep you busy and engaged.... New jets are just a bunch of FMC programming and sitting there for hours on end.. I'd love somthing like a CV880 in the sim . I'm one of the few who loved all the old flying boats we got from the local legends... Different strokes for different folks I guess. I fly modern airliners for a living and seems a bit to much like work for entertainment lol..

I mean PMDG could build a 707 or 727... Planes that aren't just giant computers that you input things into... Since I started flying for the airlines IRL. the only jets I fly in sims are the old ones... Programming an FMS is just like being at work or sitting in the sim for recurrent... Id love to see a 707,DC-8,L1011,727 Etc

A little view of future aviation in the space sim StarCitizen. Visiting the planet of Hurston

Guess I'll start hauling cargo in a DC-3 on a different planet now lol

Would also like to know

So far the only local legend I won't be buying... Would have rather seen somthing like a CV440 or other old freighter that still fly in the Caribbean.

I never get below 60 fps with a 14900k and 4090 with FSR and max settings some places I get over 100fps. This is at 2560x1440p

Get the 175 more routes flown by them,they are an extremely common regional jet in the US.

Glad they found the ulcers in time! My wife is an ICU nurse and I've heard the horror stories of GI bleeds. I'm glad your doing better!

I get 160-165kts out of it at cruise. Been in the family for 33 years basically as long as I have haha. I grew up flying it with my dad and he's since lost his medical so he passed it along to me

Super Viking that is... Flying the LHC Super Viking in the back county of Idaho. As a Super Viking owner in real life I love that Lionheart made this plane for the sim. Flies great! Bill even got the gear retraction and extension sequence done correctly as the Viking will only retract one wheel at a time. He was also kind enough to make a paint to match my plane in real life, Mine is a 1977 and still sports the original colors of that era.

Same to you!

Buying this now! Hope to see the Falcon next!

Frame Generation basically get more FPS via AI

A Piper Aerostar 600 a real one not a sim version,I'll settle for a Beech 18 though but gonna need Santa to leave his credit card for the Beech's fuel bill lol

I always hand fly the landing mainly because the auto pilot can't do it in the jet I fly lol.. Even if it could,I'd still hand fly the landing. The airline I work for encourages hand flying to keep those skills sharp, as per the FAA airlines can operate a flight with no working autopilot so if those skills aren't shap its gonna be a long stressful flight having to handfly. I usually kick the auto pilot on at 10,000 and off at 10,000

I fly the thing for a living and call it the ERJ soo guess I've been wrong the whole time lol.. As for flying planes out of service IRL. I run an airline in airhauler up in Iceland... The closest thing we have to jet engines in my fleet are the turbos on the DC-6. Heck I even haul cargo in a Boeing 307...I would consider a jet like the 707 or 727 though. Modern jets are boring in sim it's just to easy. If my wife was willing to move to Alaska I'd be up there hauling cargo in a DC-6 or DC-3 vs flying a modern airliner.

Hope he brings his t-28 to msfs

The only issue I'm having is palm trees covering the mountains of Northern Idaho

Yea Im running hdr so the screen shots look terrible compared to in sim
