Thank you, this seems like a good idea. I will try it.

I can't talk about 2024 but in 2020 it definitely does not, at least for me. Basically when I turn on time acceleration - let that be the Ini 350 or PMDG aircraft etc - The live weather option turns off, and when I tick it again it goes stupid and provide anything but the real weather. To be fair if there would be no wind and/or clear skies I wouldn't annoy myself that much, but when I find myself on short final 30kts crosswind or I can't see anything at CAT 1 minimums with the real METAR showing fine weather - and the live weather option turned on - it really makes me question if it was worth flying X hours that day and not buying xp.

Hello everyone When I use time compression the time is going 4/8 times faster so I cannot get realistic weather. What I mean is that for example navigraph shows KJFK 300 at 8 knots, obviously in the sim this real world data cant be shown because Im forward few hours. So is there a way where I can fasten the sim but still have the IRL time and weather? I have thought about setting the real weather options when Im doing the arrival but it wouldnt work for gods sake.

I know no one is even going to read this, but Im so excited for it I dont care! Even if one person can get some info from this its a win-win. Ive made the first acceptable landing with the -800! Ive used manual thrust, which I thought was going to be harder to maintain speed with, but it was actually kinda easy, I only had to adjust around 7% N1. I was stabilised the whole approach! From CMD disconnect I didnt trim as it wasnt neccessary, I only made very little adjustments. I was a tiny bit above the glideslope but still within the touchdown zone. I actually think this happened because Im used to the airbuses autotrim. So yeah, the landing and the flare was still a bit rough, but much better than before, practice will make perfect! And this was the first flight since I wrote here, I cleared the things in my head, I was ahead of the plane, and it turns out that if you dont panic and rush it, it is kinda easy! If you are reading this and having the same problems that I had, dont give up! If I could (partially:D) do it then anyone can do it!

Thanks a lot So when I disengage and make those adjustments, should I not trim those at all? Or should I follow the airbus system, like I trim until 400ft?

Hey everyone I have been flying the a320 family for a while now, and have managed to learn its systems and characteritsics, also kinda smooth landings. But in the 738 my landings are so hard, no matter what I do. I flare 30ft agl just like in the airbus, but the aircraft behaves much differently. Question one would be: are the Vref speeds set automatically by the aircraft? ( I mean with flaps 30 I always get around 150kts(+5kts wind correction or even more) and this seems a lot) Question two would be: when do I stop trimming? So basically when Im established and disengage CMD, do I just input by force, and not trim? ( In the bus it stops the autotrim in LAND mode (400ft agl)) So yeah, I think this could be the reason why the aircraft behaves so weird when flaring, because I word not allowed up the trim of it + high approach speed. But I only have about 80hrs in flight simming, so if someone knows better or even the answer to my question, I would greatly appreciate that. Cheers, clear skies!
