Joshua757

A good friend of mine was unable to judge from the promotional streams how good it actually is, so he's made a wise choice to wait it out and watch, which is a pretty sensible decision. There's no pressure as such to buy it. As a buyer, I'm enjoying it, but there's no harm to wait, I suppose 😎🤙

Did you experience a V speeds delayed msg by any chance?

Ah, that's very useful 👌

Indeed, I agree with all of your observations :) I, too, felt it a bit pitchy and also a bit on the higher side of hardware usage, none of which detract from my enjoyment of it.

fair, I too was kinda dissapointed with the day scenes. I prefer the night lighting more somehow. The CRT's look nice though.

Ooh, I'll try and let you know

So, while I was waiting patiently for the 757, I was going through some 757 CBT and picked up various quirks and nuances which I found really interesting. With all the information fresh in my mind, I decided to make a 757 in-depth tutorial today itself. I was a little bit nervous naturally, as it was literally my first time in the air and live that too so anything could go wrong! I tested some of the quirks and was pleasantly surprised to find them modelled! The cockpit is absolutely breathtaking in my view For example, the utility bus powers the right recirc fan, so selecting these off triggers the inop light -The centre fuel boost pumps are shed until 50% N3 of the associated engine is reached -Electrical power has priority over all other sources and trips off even the engine gens when turned on -During engine start of the first engine, both utility busses are shed then only the utility bus of the corresponding engine. Overall, I am really excited to fly more in this aircraft! How is everyone else who has it finding it?

Welcome aboard, fellow aviator.

I volunteered to test an L-1011F that’s in development for MSFS 2020. It’s from Captain Sim, and I got early access to a test build, so take my impressions with that in mind. All opinions are my own. Apparently, a MSFS2024 version is being considered. If you’re an old-time simmer like me, you might remember their L-1011 for P3D, which was decent for its time. I’m a big L-1011 fan, so I jumped at the chance to help out and have been sending feedback on the systems. Here are some pictures of the cockpit and exterior. It’s still a WIP, so this isn’t a full review, just an early look. I have the L1011 FCOM and CBT, so I’m doing a first look video where I’ll go through how the TriStar’s systems work and how this model compares. Happy to answer questions on what I’ve seen so far. Video link if anyone is interested in seeing how it performs:

Nice!

I'll definitely try that out :)

But you're young at heart :)

Yeah, thats what I need - deeper blacks. Because rn I have a 16 year old large Samsung LED TV (latest for its time), but the moment a night scene features, I can't see anything lol

😃❤️

Indeed. I have a soft spot for quadjets. They were quite young, too - my age ;(
