  1. How, when FSLTL says: "- ALL existing sim issues continue to be an issue. We await Asobo fixes for those sim issues." 😄
  2. but ...... "- ALL existing sim issues continue to be an issue. We await Asobo fixes for those sim issues." Asobo's fault. aha. 😅
  3. BEST VALUE 12 months $107.99 .........................- funny.
  4. Pilatus aircraft is named after the Pilatus mountain, 10 km west of the Pilatus airport of "Buochs"
  5. Eric That quote was from the supposedly "real" POH according to chatgpt, not from the SOH SimulatorOperatingHandbook , but after checking with chatgpt the exact same question again, this time the answer was: Can you adjust the spoilers? Yes — but only in a limited “open/close” way. On the Embraer Phenom 300, the spoilers act as: roll spoilers, speed brakes, and ground spoilers. The pilot can manually command the speed brake/spoiler system using the cockpit speed brake switch. However, unlike some larger jets, the Phenom 300 does not provide continuously variable manual spoiler positioning with a lever. The system essentially has two commanded positions: OPEN CLOSED (pdfcoffee.com) When selected OPEN in flight, the spoiler panels deploy symmetrically up to about 35°. (pdfcoffee.com) There are also automatic protections/interlocks: spoilers only function as speed brakes with flaps retracted, airspeed must be above roughly 125 KT, thrust levers must be below a certain power setting, and they auto-retract if those conditions are violated. (pdfcoffee.com) On landing, the ground spoilers deploy automatically when armed conditions are met (weight on wheels, low thrust, etc.). (smartcockpit.com) So the short answer is: Yes, pilots can manually command the spoilers/speed brakes. No, they cannot finely modulate spoiler angle like on many transport-category airliners with proportional spoiler levers.
  6. From the official Phenom 300 Pilot’s Operating Handbook (POH): The spoilers have multiple deployment modes: Flight spoilers (roll assist) – partially deployed to assist ailerons. Ground spoilers (lift dump) – fully deployed upon main landing gear compression and throttle retard to idle. Speed/brake function – can be deployed manually in-flight via the speed brake lever, from 0° (stowed) to 50° (fully deployed). So, in terms of positions: 0° – fully retracted (stowed) Intermediate positions – variable deployment controlled by the lever or automatic flight logic 50° – fully deployed (speed brake / lift dump) Effectively, the spoilers are continuously variable between 0° and 50°, so there isn’t a fixed number of discrete “positions” like on some older aircraft; it’s continuously adjustable within that range.
  7. why? I am about to build my "next gen" pc as we post
  8. I spent around 5k for my system incl. 64 GB DDR5 Ram, RTX 4090, Ryzen 7800X3D CPU and Pimax Crystal Light. I have uploaded numerous screenshots showing 60-80 fps with high-ultra settings, using DLSS in Quality mode. Can't imagine ever going back to 2D.
  9. Why people prefer them: Much more comfortable (no glasses pressing into your face) Sharper image quality—you’re always looking through the “sweet spot” of the lenses No frames blocking your peripheral vision Protects the headset lenses from scratches Easy to install (often magnetic or snap-in) Downsides Extra cost Not ideal if multiple people share the headset (unless you remove them) very easy with magnetic lens inserts.
  10. complex configuration (as per KT069) , unlike Pimax. just watch the 2 youtubers I have listed above, then you'll know all you need. coming from a HP G2, I tried the Quest 3, didn't like the META circus, loved the fantastic color pass through. but went with the Pimax Crystal Light instead. my next VR set could be the Steam Frame VR, Meganex MK2 or Pimax DreamAir.
  11. vroptician.com very competent, lens manufactured by Zeiss
  12. what has not been mentioned: there are special lens inserts for those who wear glasses: https://vroptician.com/
  13. I suggest listening to those who have them all, like MRTV and VRFlightSimGuy https://www.youtube.com/@mixedrealityTV https://www.youtube.com/@VRFlightSimGuy
