Speed brakes are very effective IRL on the 78 especially compared to the 73 or even the 75 or 76. I think there’s an issue with the ops set up tbh. On the PMDG you’d notice a difference with the speed brakes deployed on the 73 and definitely on the 777.

Most unbiased real Boeing pilots and particularly 737 pilots I’ve spoken to prefer the ifly max for the reasons you give above. Looks like PMDG have finally after 15 years, improved their old lnav though which is a plus. Great to see some competition in the Boeing flightsim market also.

So if my employer tries to replace me as a pilot with a WFH pilot that could be less enviro friendly than having me flying the aircraft irl?

This is so true. last night I was reading online about how to improve my internet before FS2024 arrives. . . . whilst I was watching something streaming on Netflix. I hypocritically decided it was all my families fault as they always working from home, in teams meetings or streaming stuff. I’ve only got about 40 internet speed units, so not sure how it’s all going to work with FS2024.

It been interesting flying in parts of the world where gps RFI (radio frequency interference) is resulting in GPS being jammed and spoofed and if on approach or departure having to switch gps nav off and making sure dme nav is on etc and having to rely solely on ground based navigation aids, It’s harder than not having gps as the gps information is unreliable and giving false information. GPS navigation and approach capability, especially RNP ar has been amazing in creating approaches in many places where previously there only was circling etc but recent events have shown how important ground based navigation aids still are in many areas.

I think this was the source of all the initial confusion and disagreement.

Yes.

The same Boeing type fctms do vary between operators so perhaps it’s that also.

Is that different as it a 747 though? My 777/787 FCTM says ” Rotation and Takeoff Begin the takeoff roll with the control wheel approximately centered. Throughout the takeoff roll, gradually increase control wheel displacement into the wind only enough to maintain approximately wings level. Note: Excessive control wheel displacement during rotation and liftoff increases spoiler deployment. As spoiler deployment increases, drag increases and lift is reduced which results in reduced tail clearance, a longer takeoff roll, and slower airplane acceleration. At liftoff, the airplane is in a sideslip with crossed controls. A slow, smooth recovery from this sideslip is accomplished by slowly neutralizing the control wheel and rudder pedals after liftoff.”

We used to pre add some aileron before beginning the take off roll and stopped about 10 years ago I think. Now we do (as the Boeing FCTM states) start wings approximately level and add just enough to keep wings level. The reason this changed I think was that people were adding too much aileron and it caused spoiler deployment creating drag and reducing tail clearance on rotation.

I can’t wait for the new sim to appear. I’m going to buy the ultimate version asap. I might even move to Kiribati to get it first. First things to do, after the buying and downloading. . . Have a brief look at all the new menus etc Spawn over my house. Try a take off and landing somewhere Check out the career and missions There’s so many awesome new features (that we know about) on the way I’m REALLY excited about it and looking forwards to it.

Didn’t know they had a discord, is it any better than that awful forum they have? Not sure what the pictures are of, doesn’t look like a 78 though (unfortunately)

Seems like you’re complaining on a forum for flying games about another forum for a flying game and specifically complaining about the guy who’s in charge of the game. Your post even explained you’d been warned or banned before. Each to their own and it’s obviously up to you how you conduct yourself . . . but it doesn’t sound like what you’re doing is working. To me your post sounded a bit rude tbh. As to the flying experience bit, I’m not remotely bothered by or interested in Jorge’s IRL flying experience. His enthusiasm for the MSFS is clearly huge and I’m really happy he’s in charge of the project.

I got this and have flown around lots but haven’t seen a single train yet. I think there’s a ‘cheat’ mentioned on the flight sim forum in the linked thread, where you can do something to the dlc to highlight where they all are but seems like without doing that you’re not going to see many at the moment. Hopefully far more trains will appear soon.

It’s the entry code for the flight deck door. The keypad next to the door. Normally someone presses a code outside the flightdeck on the frame and the pilots(s) get a message and then look at the camera and decide whether to unlock the door or deny entry
