  1. I think that maybe the reason that they modeled the PT6 version because the modeling for the Garrets is still not been worked out in FS24 - only gotta look @ the way the Mu2 worked out - just doesn't work correctly - I only hope is that when the AC690 comes out they will have worked out how to correctly model the Garrets. (BTW I have some considerable time in all 3 of the above in R/L)
  2. G'day all, a question without notice - I am building a new rig & I was thinking about getting the G1000 - now the problem is that I don't often fly aircraft fitted with the G1000 - I liked it because right now I use a second monitor to use little nav map on it & the G1000 only uses a USB C type connect - now my big question is wether the G1000 will still function in say a warbird? Or will it only work in G1000 equipped airplanes?
  3. the natives up in PNG always called the missionarys 'God Botherers' also Pidgen English was a pleasure to listen to - Balus - for airplane - palm tree belong ******* Christ - helicopter
  4. hope they add Hal Far to the mix @ some stage - one seriously scary approach there - remember seeing the various black splotches on the cliff face when doing an approach - allways kept you honest!! Now they have turned it into a drag strip.
  5. the old saying "good riddance to bad rubbish" holds true here - luckily I didn't get caught but admit that I was tempted on the odd occasion
  6. exactly my problem - love to do night ILS approaches & the 310 was my goto airplane - but had to give it away because of the night lighting problems - shame - I hope Milviz/Blackbird get their act together & fix it for 2024 - been using the Aerostar & the Duke for my night work now
  7. G'day all, I have both the Brunner Joystick & rudder pedals and have been using the old CLS2Sim software - I noticed with the release of the cheaper versions of the joystick & rudder pedals they have brought out a new software suite - Called Simux. I downloaded & installed same - when I fire it up the first screen shows the axis of each -ie rudder pitch & roll - when I move both the joystick & rudder all the axis move to thier fullest extent - but when I go into the sim using the C152 as my goto testing airplane - all the axis work - but only to a very limited extent - & I really mean limited - so much so on my first flight I had to use the trim to make any type of input. Now has anybody else out there tried this new stuff? & if so any clues as to how to make it work - looks far more úser' friendly than the current offering - Brunner do have 2 short tutorials - one for installation & one just a very short 3 min walktrough. I have contacted Brunner support about this but as yet no reply
  8. I had this problem yonks ago - got "Map Enhancement MFS2024 Pro " - haven't had the problem since - but there was another thread on the site recently saying that it was not any better or worse than the native stuff on 2024 - so switched it off last night - fired up the sim & guess what - wouldn't load past 8/9% - tried several times but to no avail - fired up Map E again & no probs at all - dunno if it uses different servers or what - but FS2024 for me won't work without it - hopes that's some little help (or hinderance) to you🤔
  9. going out tonight in the 500C to see if they have finally got the Bungle Bungle area sorted out - always been a shame that the area was not done well - did many senic flights around that area way back when
  10. for me the C172 was always described as 'a dull & insensitive airplane for dull & insensitive pilots''- 😉- yes & I have flown them in R/L - always found the C152 was far more fun
  11. lucky you - it killed my comp stone dead - had to do a complete windows reload
  12. as for the sound of the Darts here in oz we used to call the F27 the 'ten ton dóg whistle' that's the fun side I bought the thing off the marketplace & it still hasn't appeared in my folder - mumble mumble😒
  13. G'day I am having trouble - I have downloaded A&O's - & downloaded the following files: com.lorblysi.aao.streamDeckPlugin_etc g1000_ap_sd_plus default_ap_sd_plus can you please point me in the right direction where I place these files thx in advance Rattso
  14. Any chance of a button to remove the gunsight on the other models?
  15. Just to get the Cessna 400 series in semi correct order first came the C411 which had a geared engine - which then morphed into the C401 & C402 with various cosmetic & engineering variations & a non geared engine The C411 then got pressurised & morphed into the C421 - still with the geared engine Then they swapped out the geared engines & pressurised the C402 & called it the C414 - again with various cosmetic & engineering changes Around this time the also mucked around with the 300 series & produced the C340 - pressurised & non geared engine (a bit of a dog all round) Needing a real commuter airplane to see the Navaho off they lengthened the fuselage & brought back the geared engines & called it the C404 - which the Frogs took & bunged in a couple of PT6's & called it the C426 Cessna took the C404 & did a pressurised hull - bunged in a couple of Garrets & called it the C441 (best of the lot BTW) (with reservations about just how quiet the C421 was) flown all of the above in R/L with the exception of the C426 check out the history it's an interesting trip through design & marketing
  16. just love to fly it - but still can't get the ILS to work
  17. well had my first run around the block with it last night - did a x country with the upper air work along the way - only managed to kill myself once - with a very optermistic loop at too high an altitude - really enjoyed it - then being a glutton for punishment I went & flew an ILS approach - just love the big & clear FAI & DI - just so easy to see - the big problem I faced was trying to get all the power settings, speeds & attitudes right - all in all it wasn't a disaster (one dot low & one dot wide at the minima) - but I'll certainly be going back & doing more ILS approaches in it untill I get the speeds etc nailed - conclusion - great fun
  18. autopilots are the invention of the devil🤐 - too many of the things have tried to kill me over the years🤬
  19. jus a quick question - do you have to buy it from the FS store or can you get it direct from BB?
  20. just a short story of my Helicopter flying in the sim - what I was doing was pick a city sorta at random - then go potter about & find all kinds of amazing things well I have a friend who was a professor @ a university in Jakarta for 10 years & he gave me the address of his house & the uni he taught at - well what a heap of fun using google maps, little nav map etc & locating a landmark to start with & acually finding both places & taking screen shots of them - he recognised both the street & the uni - that toook me about 2 nights of work I have another friend who did a voyage to the UK from Oz & when he stopped off in Cape Town he walked about & found a very nice park - that was fun finding as well - next he said they had 2 refueling stops up the west coast of Africa - the first was Luderitz (never heard of it before) - so I went to the airstrip (about 5nm out of town) with live Wx - followed the road into town (very bumpy ride & 40+ Celsius) found the dock & downtown - now here is why I just love 2024 - I found an 'Easter Egg' @ the dock - just a fun discovery Anyhow up to Walvis Bay (knew about that from my Navy days) did the same - took screen shots for him - now this is where 2024 sometimes makes you ponder the universe etc - flew back to the airstrip taxied to the hard standing & what should be parked there? a Navion equipped with Ski gear!! in the middle of a bloody great desert!! As I said just great fun exploring all those cities you very rarely see
  21. I enjoy the Sabre - it's my goto airplane when I need to get back to my roots (the Avons were quite slow to spool up)- I bought the Hunter & was dissapointed in that - just couldn't get the seating position right - there was a free Hunter for 2020 that was much better than the new one - just my 2 cents worth
  22. good one - I dedicate a couple of nights a week to flying the 500C (have flown them in R/L as well) - now let me just remind you of what my helicopter instructor told me - you fly above 500'AGL & ya get nose bleed!! I bind one of the throttles to the collective - but have ordered the Virpil collective & grip - on back order - supposed to get them in March - can't wait I also have the huey & it is also fun - got the Cowan 500D but never liked it much - 500C is the better one IMHO
  23. I also have thought about flying in China - nearly finished my circumnavigation of South America ( some great scenery there - also some very average stuff) - now the question I want to ask is are there any others out there who use the professonal version of Map Enhancement 2024? Now in the available servers it says that there is a choice for "China HD 2024" - again my question is there anybody out there who has used this choice? And if so is the scenery available better than your usual Google/Bing stuff?
  24. In R/L I have flown the Dukes, Baron & the C414 (also the C310 - which nobody has really mentioned)- in R/L I prefered the C414 to fly (actually the C421 was my favorite) that was my favorite before the Scarostar came out - but for the sim I prefer the Scarostar - I just find it's flight model easier? (trying to find the right word) - it's easier to trim & get your speeds right & responds realistically to control inputs - I found the rudder very realistic as well - I do a lot of hand flying the ILS's in the sim - just enjoy proving that I still have the skills to pull off a reasonable one - having said that for the turbo props I found the Starship the most pleasant of all to fly & I could also pull off a reasonable ILS approach in it - (would love a Turbo Commander AC 690B/G1000 - spent a heap of time in those as well) - just my 2cents worth😁
  25. Well I really like the 404 to fly - but (big but) the Primary ILS & doesn't work at all - the glide slope indicator is fixed & the course indicators bears no relationship the to course dialled in - also the secondary ILS indicator (for me) still just has two black lines for both the course indicator & glide slope - this is a killer for me because I really like the way it flys (BTW got a few hours in R/L on the 404) & I really do like flying the ILS by hand - usually fly eithe the Scarostar or one of the Dukes - with an occasional go in the Starship & the C 414
