About Me
8 years ATC (Pre Reagan days) retired after 30 years route sales. Love my grands and simming in that order.

Patco Lch started following FSX Orbx OLC USA Indiana pyramids

Could it be an elevation issue caused by ORBX Vector? Or a layering issue in the scenery library? Just a thought.
-
That was my question. Thanks. I hardly used the NG since I didn't stick with MSFS.
-
Please don't take this as being antagonistic, just curious. Are there really any enhancements over the NGXu other then maybe sharper visuals? I use the NGXu more than any other aircraft in my very diverse hanger. I bought the 737NG-700 for MSFS when it first came out and really didn't see any reason to repurchase these PMDG aircraft for the third time. I'm retired and they are quite (to me) expensive. Have they really added anything else?

Maybe he found a new lady friend and is just too busy for his old AVSIM friends😂

Seems there’s a where’s Chock thread every once in a while, then he will show up for a time then disappear. Maybe this one will bring him out. I enjoy reading his posts, most are informative often with a bit of humor.

Never saw an airplane that I didn’t thunk was a beauty. Even gangly looking helicopters.

Prepar3d v5.4 Aircraft Recommendations
Patco Lch replied to AS129 - Michael Johnson's topic in The Prepar3d Forum
Highly highly recommend the FSLabs A320. Since I started simming in 2007 I was one of those not Boeing I ant going dudes. I cut my teeth on the default 737NG in FSX while waiting on the NGX. Since from FSX to P3DV5 I purchased about six NGs between PMDG and IFliy including the MAX. I was a bit intimidated by the difference in the Airbus philosophy until last year I decided to go for it and went about to learn the Airbus. I'm no pilot but the FSlabs seem to feel more like a real aircraft than any other sim bird and I have them all. Very steep learning curve but very satisfying and is a very widely used aircraft all over the world. LOL personally I can't see why any real-world airline pilot with the seniority and company option would prefer a 737 over an A320. The cockpit appears much more comfortable without the pole coming up between your feet with a yoke Infront of your chest, especially with so little hand flying on a modern jet. A lot of automation but by no means set and forget. You have to Baby sit the automation or you will find yourself fighting it. So there's my recomendation for today🙂 -
Enhanced atmospherics but then again that’s more of an eye of the beholder thing. If you’re technically sophisticated enough Rogan has 4.5 looking very good with his tweets and suggestions. I’m not so technical or maybe too lazy might be a more introspectively honest statement.
-
Thanks @Rogen Your input is always knowledgeable and interesting.
-
Hi Luis, I’m just wondering if you missed the enhanced atmospherics when going back to V4? That to me is the main plus to version 5. The way things look out the window but there are many addon related advantages to V4. Also the default vector in version five makes unnecessary the cumbersome ORBX vector with its elevation adjustments needed with addon airports in version 4.
-
This past weekend I spent another $60 for the FSLabs A319 to my hanger. That’s what I consider a sim upgrade, not something done to the platforms that wrecks everything.

I’m on V5.4, nevertheless I love your post for all the reasons you stated. Only thing I wouldn’t say either version is antique. Both versions are very modern and relative to many of us.

Seems like the better off folks get materially the more arrogant selfish and crazier. I wonder if part of the problem is people have too much idle time. -
