You can just "push" the CRS button and the CDI will centre to the station automatically, much faster than rotating the knob. Not sure whether the simulation allows pushing, but worth trying.

Sure, but the OP wanted to inhibit the "autotuner" from selecting the same station on both receivers. Why would one want that? If you need a specific VOR tuned, then tune that one manually. Another option nobody mentioned is going to the FIX page and selecting the desired VOR. This will show BRD/DST info towards that VOR without abandoning the "autotune" function of the FMC. You won't be tuning the VOR per se, but the information you will receive is essentially the same.

Not really. The only way is going manual. There is a way to inhibit the FMC from auto-tuning specific VOR/DME stations, but that's not what you're asking for.

In IVAO, the rules say flights must be done in real time. About the weather, if you want to use older weather, go ahead. Just note that the ATC will issue "wrong" altimeters, winds etc.

Thanks for the confirmation Rich. It's "Jaime", by the way

Interesting topic. I've read a lot on this and there's much diversity of opinions. In my opinion it boils down to whatever representation you're most used to. Dual-cue (X-bars) seems to be much more common today than single-cue (V-bar). Single-cue seems to be easier to follow, dual-cue allows you to ignore one of the two axes. I prefer dual-cue and that's the one I'm most used to.

A man needs his cave. And if you listen to Neil Young, his maid also

Why? Well, for starters its a far better and superior application per se

Thanks Rich for the detailed explanation. However, do you consider the behavior of the aircraft in the previous images (and video) to be realistic? Would the real aircraft do that? For the record, I did submit a ticket and I did get a very good response by Ryan. He said they would look into it for fixing it for the next update.

Beautiful pictures William, I liked the fourth one specially. And just like hobbits, the 777 has huge feet

Do they "hot bunk" on those aircraft beds?

Very interesting, thanks Gregg! But do 12 crew members rest at the same time? Isn't 12 a bit overkill?

Welcome again Mantan! I kinda understand your feeling of "known but weird" at the same time. It happens to me every couple of years. In my case it's long periods (2 years or so) of flightsim-inactivity coupled with a few months of an intense come-back. I also want to agree with the 2 users before me: Try X-Plane 10. It's changed quite dramatically in 12 years. Also: Have you considered Prepar3D instead of FSX? In case you don't know: Microsoft Flight Simulator was discontinued some years ago and Lockheed Martin took the ESP platform (like the core/engine of MFS) and developed it into Prepar3D (P3D). So we could say that P3D is the natural "evolution" of FSX.

Yes, it has happened to me. A defragmentation of the hard drive has been suggested to me before. I can understand that at the moment of touchdown several audio files are played, maybe the sim stutters for the time it takes to locate the audio files to play them?

Interesting adventures José. Are you happy with P3D then? Is it superior to FSX? (I hope it is)
