The Alabeo P3D version of this plane is absolutely fantastic, for anyone that’s interested. One of, if not the best addon airplane I’ve ever come across.

In looking back both here and at other forums, it seems like this issue has cropped up now and again. It's kind of a pain because when you get to the end of the flight you just have to Ctrl+Alt+Del and shut the sim down. I haven't checked yet if it records the flight in the logbook, which, in fact, it wasn't doing anyway since the last update.

I'm trying to picture what you mean, sorry if I sounded dismissive. I don't have a taskbar when I'm running MSFS. I'm running it the way I always have, it's just that now this key isn't working.

Perhaps they did, I don't Facebook.

I don’t think that’s the problem, I’m running it in full screen.

Nope, it's working in Windows. Just not in the sim.

I haven't flown since the update. I suppose it's possible, but I'm typing on it right now. Don't quite know how to test the ESC key, as I don't use it for anything else.

I've googled and I've searched here. Any ideas? I get to the end of the flight, hit ESC, and... nothing. Just stays in the flight.

As a longtime TrackIR user, I have to say, I don’t know what the point of flight simming would be without head tracking software. It’s phenomenal.

This should be a sticky. And for the record, I'm just as guilty as anyone.

I was wondering if he had others, I couldn't figure out how to search for them. And honestly, looking on that site in general, it's truly amazing the work some people are doing!

For transparency, this is my email to them. And everything has been published in its entirety, unedited. I was tying to be helpful. The quite clearly couldn't care less. If I owned a business and got this, I would have said, "Hi, thanks for letting us know. We're aware of the situation and are doing our best. We understand the frustration. In the meantime, I would be happy to take a backup order for you." It seems clear to me they feel like they have enough customers.

Okay, so why don’t you establish and confirm what the problem is before you exasperatingly call on others to stop buying someone’s product?

You said exactly what I said you did. And as it would seem, the problem is not with third party airports. So I would suggest that an all-caps call to action to damage someone’s business because of a problem unrelated to them was unwarranted.

Yeah and if you saw the initial thread title, it said “don’t buy third party addons.”

What losses? I have two choices: get ripped off or don’t buy their product. And they are fine with that. Would you be fine with that choice for your customers?

Not to mention impugning 3rd party developers for something that isn't their fault.

Just wanted to share this. I own the Honeycomb Alpha. I was interested in the Bravo, but of course it's sold out. So I went on eBay to discover that people were scalping their pre-orders and jacking the price by as much as 3X. So, thinking that I was being helpful, I wrote to Honeycomb and told them what was going on, and that it would be easy to figure out who was scalping their products and ripping off customers (by looking at the order location). Here is their response: "Really Michael? So, let me ask you, how do you know they ordered from us? I can tell you they didn't. They probably ordered from one of our retailers, and we've already told them to seek out such people and cancel their orders. Besides, if you don't want to pay those inflated prices, then DON'T PAY THOSE INFLATED PRICES and if others follow suit then guess what? The people doing that will have to take their losses. It's not up to us." So essentially their answer is, go fly a kite. Hands down the most obnoxious customer "service" response I've ever gotten from anyone. So if you have to pay 3X the price to get their product, please be aware: Honeycomb couldn't care less.

Have you tried manually dialing in the frequencies? If so I would agree that this is a problem. If not, try it. I bet it will work.

"This is my favourite airport in the whole wide world. And indeed place. It also has the best public toilet in the world on the main harbour with a wonderfully low height to align your plumbing and refreshing breeze to flow up it. If you haven't been here in reality then you jolly well should go. The first time I went here was the second to last S61 flight however long ago that was. I was so moved it kick started my puberty. I was 36 at the time so that was a billy bonus." Hysterical!

Well duh.

Yeah, the short answer is: money.

Settle an argument: do you get POH performance numbers in real life or not?

Unless the guy flying it isn’t capable of achieving max or expected performance.

Presumably. I didn’t try changing runways.
