As a current Canadian pilot, there’s no reason to have them, so why waste the money on them? We use GPS everywhere. In 11 years of professional flying in Canada, I have never “tracked a radial outbound” or flown anything other than an ILS or RNAV approach. There’s still a bunch that work up north, and even then, questionable why.

Low 20s, you should be seeing almost 300 kts TAS in the 42, and probably 270-280 TAS in the 72. FL250 doesn't happen often, especially in a heavy 72, they're absolute dogs.

Yes the ATR has wild reflections at night and it’s SUPER annoying.
-
Are you using it right?
-
The Caravan is definitely boring and predictable to fly IRL haha. It’s built that way.
-
Yeah, they're super annoying IRL too, that's how it looks a lot of the time.

There's tons of photos of the base.

Then don’t buy it. Typical “no fun allowed” simmer here.

Right? Default weather over here and it works exactly the same as it did two weeks ago. Great skies coming out of Hong Kong the other day.

Use windows 11, nothing is designed for Windows 10 anymore.

Oh perfectly fair, yeah.

But airplanes can still almost always get out of them, especially small airplanes like the Kodiak. No way the elevator loses its authority in a stall.

Who says they’re ignoring it? Maybe they just can’t fix it yet.

As a guy who spends every six months in Level D sims, the weather in 2024 is miles better than how it looks in a real sim. First off there is no live weather in a real sim, so it’s all presets. Take that and go set a preset in 2024 of RVR 1200, 200 foot ceilings and rain or snow, and fly it. It’s way better than the real sim. Level D sims can’t even do rain, or wipers, or anything. People need to realize how incredibly GOOD we have it in a desktop sim, it’s the best it’s ever been.

Absolutely no stutters on my system with it, even flying into Haneda and Kai Tak.
