Why can't I move the magneto to start with assigned button
"Start" position have it's own button assignment other than magneto +/-

DeltaWing ATR-72-600 about ot be released
Any review on this one? Last time I fly ATR is flight1 in FS9....

FPS Embraer fleet is now free!
☹️Wasted money when I though it might be better than x-craft V2. Already deleted year ago, never mind.

DeltaWing ATR-72-600 about ot be released
CRJ is not quite up there IMO, System and AP is OK, but the FMC are still very "default"... And the flight dynamic feel very wired to me, I'm not IRL CRJ pilot but it seems the backward yaw when moving aileron is very prominent even with Y/D is on.

Robotaxi - testing shows far fewer injuries than humans.
You are not allowed into busy terminal airspace without fancy GNSS/WAAS/RNP/ADSB certified device in your piper cub right now, just saying....

Is the latest version of Magknight 787 decent?
No, it's kinda on par to default 737,and since 787 should have better FMS etc ,IMO it's even worse than the difference between default 737 to say Zibo, or the real thing.

High Altitude Airport, Cabin and Engine Issue
320N have been tested at ZUDC, the highest airport so far, so it should be fine, although again it's not quite economically viable than 319, 319neo is exclusively for Chinese airlines to fly in such condition. As our 737 not certified to fly other high-alt airports near ZULS, so alternatives were ZUUU and ZPDQ, 500nm+ away, and you have to consider depressurization and engine out condition as well, it's a big project to open one such route, and regulator will approve each route case by case. A330 with high power engine works very well in ZULS. 787 could also be there based on certification and performance, but not yet so far. People still prefer direct route if there is a choice, so there are long direct route from ZULS to ZBAA, ZSNJ, ZGGG and even WSSS, that's why Flaps1, bump thrust, bleed off and improved climb procedure became regular in operation. Most sim based performance calculator doesn't factor obstacles (the only one I know of is TOPCAT, but it's database still limited and quite old), but it's almost always the biggest factor on highland (except maybe SLUY i guess?) I think Navigraph FMS data have RNP-AR procedure for ZULS though, but no charts for that.

High Altitude Airport, Cabin and Engine Issue
IRL only 737-700 fly to ZULS, although some -800 can be configured to do so but not economically viable. I fly quiet some there (along with ZUAL\ZURK\ZUNZ\ZUJZ\ZPDQ etc....) and there are bugs and quirks I noticed: QNH in XP12 is off by some number, with both real weather or manually set, the QNH reported by ATC/ATIS or in map info shows about 7hPa more than it actually is at ZULS (not against realworld number, that's way off as no IRL METAR provided), for other airports it can be 3~4 or 5~6, it seems closer to the heart of Tibet the difference is higher, at the edge like in ZLLL, ZPPP, ZWTN it's back to normal. for Zibo\LVLUP: HIGHALT LAND doesn't reset at 8500' cabin altitude, so you have to kept it ON when on ground, IRL after landing at or first power up at high altitude airport, the switch should be placed to OFF. Engine idle at 33%N1 when above 10000', and FF is 0, as you have discussed, IRL the idle N1 will be higher at attitude, for ZPPP at 6900' -700 will idle at around 25% while -800 could be around 27%N1 due to bleed requirement for cabin, while at ZULS it's actually slightly lower, 23~24% N1, it'll make taxi a little bit more slippy, but in game at 33% N1 it would be challenging not to overheat brakes (BTW, the CFM56 on TolissA319 doesn't change idle N1 at attitude at all, but I'm not sure if it's correct behavior IRL) Although I never noticed engine shutdown when taxing around these airport, I do got long taxi time (10~20min) sometimes. Bleed off config doesn't provide higher thrust, when operation at these airport, as thrust is quite limited, no-bleed config is quiet often used , however in zibo with APU provide to bleed, the N1 doesn't seems change to match the non-bleed config, the N1 only adjust when PACKs are off, but that's prohibited by my company's SOP at high altitude airport. (BTW Toliss A319 had same problem but it's since fixed, as the procedure is much easy to do (ah, buses), my company's SOP require every airbus TO/LD at high altitude airport use APU bleed) No 26B2 thrust for LVUP-700 (praise Toliss provide CFM56-5B7, although no V2527 yet), which is very useful for such airports, although not required, some -24K engine 700 still fly to ZULS regularly , 26B2 BUMP thrust provide even higher thrust than normal 26K you found on -800 when at high and hot condition. however: Manual N1 marker setting can drive A/T, so I can look the IRL 26B2 N1 table and set it manually, then use the AT for TO/GA, IRL the AT won't follow the manually set N1 bug, but I guess minus multiply minus equal to positive here... No gaseous oxygen masks for passengers. Well, I don't care that much about simulated passengers, but IRL it's required as you'll need to fly hours above FL200 when having depressurization. For now, I prefer Toliss A319 for high alt airport operation ( as it is IRL, majority high land route here is served by A319/A330 rather than 737) , FF752 could also do, but it doesn't have reconfigurable cabin alt warning package, IRL there was a procedure to basically "ignore" the warning and manually monitor the cabin alt before the option were online. Also FF757 lacks the ability of doing RNP-AR, not just it doesn't have NPS and ANP display, but the vertical path won't be smooth and correct if you try to do so. Both default A330(but no high-power engine variant again) and Toliss 330neo could also fly up there, although I don't have IRL performance data for them. IIRC, 707, A343 and MD11 have also been to ZULS at some point in the history

FJS727 Revisited.
https://forums.x-plane.org/forums/topic/351580-unoffical-commuity-patch-guide-for-fjs727-into-xp12/ Here is my take, "basically flyable" for A-B to my standard. I probably won't go much deeper than this as it should be FJS's job anyway...although glad to see someone is starting to pick it up and working further on it

This one fooled me - the ASSP A300B
Sounds interesting, I noticed this one but below my radar for a while as I've heard the XP11 version isn't really up to quality... I'm now kind of feared by "2nd-tier" add-ons... have flown default A330 and feel it's kind not bad and I start to think how bad these non-top tier aircraft could be anyway, turns out Magknight 787 amazed me... in a bad way... I might put this on my radar but I already have FPS748 and Hager380 on the holding list for the same reason above...

AI Ground Collision Avoidance
Nah, I given up and just taxi though them anyway

lnav in the 737 for xplane 12
Default 737 is kinda old mess and LR seems not bother to update it anyway as Zibo is effectively constantly updating whit their own version anyway. I would suggest just skip the default 737 and go download zibo or Lvup version and start from there.

Boeings Galore - The LevelUP project
There are -100 to -900 then Max7 to 10, that's already 13 different big variants IRL, then there are different engine rating, ADV, IGW, BBJ,PIP, SFP, C,BCF, BDSF.... so no, we don't have enough 737s in sim yet

Buzzed by 767s, Now Want One For Sim
Flight Factor 767 is rather OK

Wilkins - Antarctica Airport - YWKS
There is no Antarctic terrain in default XP, there are freeware add-on by maps2xplane in .org, Or as part of base pack for XPME, Or payware Antarctica Mega Scenery XP12 by HSimulators in org store (which I use) I visit Antarctic, most of the time Wilkins in flight sim almost annually every southern hemisphere summer.
