I am only on my third flight, but you certainly appreciate all of the small details. I started mine as a new airplane, and am doing everything possible to fly it by the check lists, and great prudence as well. My last landing at KBMI was so smooth, that I simply can’t wait to go back. It really makes me want to learn more about the plane, which I am doing now. It will be difficult going back to any of my other planes. This was a long time in the making, but my utmost appreciation and respect for what the A2A team did here, as they exceeded any expectation I had for this project.

It would be interesting to hear of any interesting maintenance events that occur during the journey! I just took my first flight and it clearly exceeded my expectations.

New video from Dreams of Wings to go with the launch:

They must think that flysimmers are stoopid or sumthing.

Does FS ATC Chatter override conversations you are having with ATC, or does it pipe down when the Sim is communicating with you?

Same…I flew from KORD to KSTL and landed at 12:20 ET yesterday with very accurate weather, Barometric pressure, winds aloft, etc, etc. I was on The US East server. I wonder what would still be going on for others.

Have you considered a button box?

They got the Venema Enima, purged from the forum.

I read something, but it didn't get very specific.

Just curious if anything has been published, or even rumored ( :wink:) for the remainder of North America Land class from ORBX. I'm not impatient mind you, just curious.

Ok, I will explain. Rex Direct (rd) is programmed to call Rex Essentials. (re) I go into rd and select weather, select the airport I will start, and generate/submit. rd calls both re and opens FSX. I begin my desired free flight from the airport I chose in rd and wait for weather to be injected but it never happens. Only if you perform the same selection of airport while in re does any weather injection occur in FSX. I opened a ticket at REX and they said they couldn't reproduce the problem I described. So how is it supposed to work? I don't see any point in calling the weather engine from rd if it isn't one seamless pass through, and the comments from REX do not make me think otherwise.

Very real indeed. Steve has done an incredible service to our community with this product. I was amazed at the visual improvement. Even saw improvement in frame rates with my high end rig which I didn't think would be possible.

I do not have a 4k Monitor yet. You could actually go up to 5K with the Titan X. I'm running it with a 2560 x 1440 and it is sweet!

Time to destroy some stuff!

Lucky! ha!

I bought a Titan X. It takes anything you can throw at it.

Anyone got tickets for day one?

I am using REX Direct and like it, but sadly not ASN. I am using REX Essential for weather. Go figure, it doesn't play well with Rex direct.

I only run in full screen mode. Is there some advantage over running in windowed mode?

Make it nice and dirty air-wise.

Interesting. Sounds like a plan.

I used Steve's DX10 fixer and got a nice boost of perhaps 10 to 15 % depending how intense the scenery is. For example Teterboro facing New York City is more imposing than lesser scenes. DX10 is beautiful when you get it working right, I know I will not go back.

I would love to find a good tutorial on the operation of the gns 430/530. My Carenado aircraft have them, and while I have the general skill to use nav/com/gps, I am guessing there is more to learn. Either in video format or as a written tutorial. I am using FSX as the sim. Links would be appreciated.

I was hoping to get direction on finding a good tutorial on Nav systems like the GNS 530 for FSX. Video, or written either so long as I can follow along. ​I get the basic idea of how to manage the GNS530 but I imagine there is so much I am missing.
