    This comment from an experienced airline pilot like you are leaves me speechless. I couldn't disagree more.

    I don't know what kind of gusty conditions you have encountered, but I definitely dont' agree. And if this wasn't impressive enough, check this one and watch the speed tape.
  3. FDEdev
    👍 And the beauty with this method is, it works for every approach slope angle. Nevertheless, the fact that most PAPIs in MSFS are grossly mislocated is one bigger serious bugs IMO, since it teaches sim pilots to disregard them or even worse to accept that 4 red are ok.

    Just checked the series 20 manual and the warning should always come on below 70% N1. So the sim is correct. That said, on a jet engine 70% RPM (N1) equals ~30% thrust and not 70% power.
  5. FDEdev
    Ah! The gear warning. Just checked the series 30 manual and the warning shouldn't come on below 15000ft at all. Below that at ~55% N1, which is a pretty low thrust setting. Well below 50%, let alone 70%. And thank you for your kind words of course 🙂
  6. FDEdev
    The 'trick' is to descend at idle thrust, not 70% power! No speedbrakes of course. Most jets usually descend at idle.

    Until this day I've never seen or operated a GPS in an airplane. When I started flying for the airlines there were only VORs and NDBs. Flying an SID out of Paris required multiple radial interceptions with multiple VORs. A few decades later I found out the the A320 can't even track a VOR radial! In every sim I still used only VORs and NDBs and I LOVE the large RMIs and HSI. A dream compared to the mice cinema size glass displays.

    Thank you for your kind words 🙂 and I fully agree. MSFS IS definitely the best what happened to desktop flight simulation. If x-plane, Aerofly or DCS would be even remotely comparable, especially regarding immersion, I would have installed one of these. I'm pretty sure that I will buy MSFS 2024. 🙂 🙂

    I'm almost jealous. MSFS was such a disappointment for me from a simulation POV, that this was the first year in more than 40 years without simming! But at least I found something close, and I'm thinking about using these models for MSFS 2024....if there's a substantial improvement over MSFS 2020. Bernt Stolle - Art for Sale | Fine Art America

    Oh, man. I haven't visited Avsim and posted here since years. Just a few days of visiting and it looks like nothing has changed. Very unfortunate and sad.
  11. FDEdev
    Well, that's a typical MSFS thread. Mentioning advantages of other sims aren't usually appreciated in those. 😉 My airplane art: Bernt Stolle - Art for Sale | Fine Art America

    That depends a lot on the airplane. E.g. on the 767 manual flying with autothrottle doesn't work nicely. Airbus on the other hand encourages the pilots on e.g. the A320 to always fly with autothrust.

    No morphing with x-plane, Aerofly and DCS AFAIR. All my GA flying IRL in my early days happend at Alps airports. Morphing terrain looks like continous rockfall!!! My airplane art: Bernt Stolle - Art for Sale | Fine Art America
  14. FDEdev
    The question is if terrain morphing will still occur in MSFS 2024. It's a real immersion killer when flying close to mountains.
  15. FDEdev
    Again, it DOES adversely affect the flight model! E.g. when you are moving the passengers to the 'correc' left/right off-center distance, the 560 will start rolling if the passengers are not distributed equally. This doesn't happen IRL. If you change the forward/aft position you are ruining the realistic CG / trim relationship and you might run out of elevator trim, etc. etc. Any change you make, makes the 560 less realistic and under some conditions maybe even unflyable.
  16. FDEdev
    No, since there's no auto throttle system on the 560. You have to adjust the throttles manually.
  17. FDEdev
    DON'T change the station loads. FSX/P3D are exaggerating all off-CG weights a lot. These numbers have been chosen to replicate the real loading of the aircraft. The same goes for the C90 (and most other Carenado/Alabeo aircraft)
  18. FDEdev
    As raymie pointed out, the left turning tendency is realistic. It's the BIG pilots job to counteract this moment. Haven't read about or experienced the other problems.
  19. FDEdev
    I doubt that since they posted this on Facebook: All our aircraft are compatible with the new P3D v5
  20. FDEdev
    Piracy. Usually there are no anti-theft systems in any aircraft.
  21. FDEdev
    Doesn't the mouse wheel work to tune the ADF?
  22. FDEdev
    The reason for my 'absence' is easy. There's a lot to test and discover in the new sim, so that there's very little time left for a second forum if you take alpha testing serious. 🙂
  23. FDEdev
    The change over altitude depends on the IAS/Mach ratio, it's approximately FL280 (+ a few thousand feet) TAS starts to decrease with higher altitude once you keep the Mach number. Enroute safe altitude usually indicates the lowest useable altitude. FL280 doesn't make sense IMO.
  24. FDEdev
    FL280 is usually the fastest flight level (where the change over from IAS to MACH occurs). If you want to get somewhere fast in a jet you have to fly at this low altitude.
  25. FDEdev
    Ask Carenado for a refund. Should be no problem.
