it is clear that fluffyflops is suggesting something but not coming out and saying it. I don't know what it is he is suggesting: that the Met police and the newspapers are talking quietly behind the scenes to stop covering What is really going on" here? What are the so many issues that cannot be spoken? I am having trouble imaging what it is that Murdoch and the Met/political leadership would agree should be covered up in this particular crime. I live in England (not London, although I Iived there in the early 2000s)

From BBC News yesterday: "The boss of Emirates airline has warned Boeing is in the "last chance saloon", saying he had seen a "progressive decline" in its performance. He also told the Financial Times that Emirates would send its engineers to monitor Boeing's production lines. In response to Sir Tim's remarks, Boeing pointed to comments its chief executive, Dave Calhoun, made last week, when he said: "We understand why [customers] are angry and we will work to earn their confidence."" It seems many of the airlines are unhappy with Boeing, but there is nowhere else to go to buy airliners, except Airbus, and they have a waiting list years long into the future>

The latest round of issues with Boeing planes, particularly 737 Max models, seems to confirm ;the deterioration in quality control and general consciousness of the company and its workers,-- that they are building products - passenger airplanes - that will be used by millions of passengers who are trusting the company to build aircraft that are safe. Clearly not the same Boeing of years ago before its leadership was taken over by accountants and its headquarters moved away from Seattle, where the planes are made. Second issue I believe is in the conception of the 737 Max line. Supposed to be the company's small/short haul model for the world today. But it is based upon keeping the general 737 airframe design which was created in 1967. Boeing could have created a completely new aircraft designed for today's world and needs, as Airbus did with its Neo models, but they decided to base the new plane on a 57 year old design! For financial reasons! So that the airlines could save money on training pilots! Well that has to go down in history as one of the worst corporate strategic decisions every made. With all of the money lost by the company and the airlines who bought these planes for grounding of the planes, and redesign, reworking etc, not to mention that many passengers now avoid flights that use the 737 Max. By the way, there is even an aesthetic issue here - the 737 Max planes do not even look good. They look like they were designed in the 1960's! It is really sad what the leaders of the company have done to an American icon; So bottom line, the company is not what it used to be and some soft of complete corporate makeover is in order.

Where would one go on Avsim to discuss Boeing's latest 737 Max issues, e.g., the in flight blow out of an emergency exit?

Well this is assuming you are not in the real world where cost of a/c rental is a consideration for nearly everyone but a multi-millionaire. A Baron? King Air? Be serious. Of these obviously the Bonanza, but really you would want a pA 28 or the Tomahawk (if you don't like high wing planes).

I have a 1TB SSD and 4TB HD, which has just failed. I don't think I have ever used much of the capacity of the 4TB HD. and AFIK have never exceeded the capacity of the SSD. I will replace the HD. Any recommendations for how much storage I should buy? Thanks

I still am running under Windows 10 and was reluctant to upgrade due to reported issues with 11. Should I upgrade now?

Are you sure this is for MSFS? The Flight1 website/store shows it has the KIngAir for FSX and P3D, not for MSFS. In any case as orcehstra_nl notes, we do have the excellent Black Square King Air..

Do it!

But on the other hand, if you have purchased an aircraft, and are not a regular forum reader, it is not unreasonable to want to see if there is an answer to your specific question without having to go through hundreds of entries on the "official thread" with its many repetitive entries that do not relate to your specific problem.

I find FSRealistic to be a gamechanger as far as providing immersion experience. Basically it simulates cockpit vibrations and sounds resulting from engine and airframe vibrations, ground contact and wind effects. The only aircraft that I am aware of that do this "out of the box" are A2A, PMDG and Red Wing (e.g., their Constellation. I use it on everything I fly and if I forget to turn it on, the feeling is that I am flying in an aircraft that is on rails and not in the real world.

The Black Square G36 Bonanza and the B58 Baron have very detailed system level functionality, beautiful analogue instrumentation, detailed documentation, and are a joy to fly. The A2A has more detailed engine specific modelling (e.g., cylinder level), and specific failure types, but others here will be more knowledgeable on this than me. As far as FD I understand the Black Square uses the default aircraft FD, but I have been flying the two aircraft now for several months, and have been noting things like approach speed/flare out simulation and comparing with real world data from Beechcraft on the two aircraft, and it seems pretty accurate to me. A2A and Black Square are both top of the league developers, and since it is so time consuming to make aircraft of this fidelity and accuracy, I personally would not like to see duplication of effort. Black Squares Baron is beyond what 90% of simmers would even notice the difference.. A2A should not duplicate one of Black Square's products in my opinion.

A Baron, Really? Yes a twin, but why a Baron when we already have a very high quality Black Square Baron. But a Piper Navajo, yes.

The ability to save a flight and continue later at the same location on the airfield and the aircraft exactly as when you left it on the previous flight. Great for long distance flights of several legs.

In FSX and P3D once you had have finished a flight you were able to quit the sim and save the exact location (where you had parked on the airfield) and the settings on your aircraft after you had shut it down. This was very useful when you were taking a long flight of several days and several stopovers and wished to restart your aircraft where it was previously and in the exact condition/settings. Is it possible to do this in MSFS? I know you can start a new flight and if you know the parking location name where you left your craft you can start the flight at the location in the cold/dark mode, presumably as you would have left it. But this lacks the feeling of continuity. If this has already been covered in a previous thread, I apologize for bringing it up again.

Thanks. I have joined as a premium account and everything seems OK now.

Just tried to download an airport from this site, and doesn't seem to work. I understood after they modified the site there have been problems. Does anyone know if they have been able to sort things out?

This can't be serious!! Anyone who has been near this forum since the A2A Comanche has come out will have hundreds of posts to read with the answer. Do we need to go through it all again?

A2A's v35 Bonanza? and their Lockheed Constellation?? and perhaps their B17???

A quick spot check shows that it is missing a lot of airports. Must not be up to date.

Saitek (i.e. Logitek) yoke w/ 3 lever quadrant programmed to Throttle 1 &2 and Prop 1 Saitek 3 lverThrottle quadrant programmed to Prop 2 and Mixture 1 & 2 Have programmed these controllers using the Controls Section in MSFS 2020.

Have tried several times and failed to fix the problem.Have checked on the A2A forum as well and no mention of the problem there. I am surprised that very few other users seem to have had this problem. This issue is not present in my other aircraft. Guess I will have to go back to flying the Black Square Bonanza until A2A sends out an update that fixes the problem. Disappointed...

V-Tail Bonanza without a doubt! They have already done it for P3D so they would have a head start. The existing Carenado model is pretty good but not even close to A2A quality/realism overall.

Thanks. My throttle problem is related to my controller setup evidently, because when I use the mouse and advance/retract the actual throttle in the a/c it works as it should. I will take your suggestion concerning the bindings.

Am I doing something wrong. When I advance the throttle the engine rpm/map increases as it should, when I pull the throttle back it seems to go to idle in about the middle of the lever position, and when I pull it back further the engine increases again. As if it were going into reverse/ Help! I haven't changed by control parameters so I am not sure what to do.
