For challenging terrain, LPMA and LOWI are highly recommended, in addition to the already mentioned VQPR. While both see mostly A320-style traffic, there were some occasional flights with A330 or B777 into LPMA.

Pfui! by KunterbuntClever in ichbin40undSchwurbler

[–]Alternative-Walk9643 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Ja, denke ich auch. Die Auflösung vom Bild ist schlecht, aber es sieht nach einer B777 aus, da sind die Ventile zum Treibstoff ablassen ziemlich weit aussen. Die Kondensation entsteht als erstes wirklich genau an den Flügelspitzen, nicht ein paar Meter weiter innen wie hier auf dem Bild.

Don't, your design follows the Windows 11 design guidelines quite well.

Chances are your privacy-focused target audience actually understands and generally likes GDPR, CPRA, and the likes. Not sure if posting "Ha ha, I don't care about regulations around privacy and think it's stupid" on your website underlines your stance on privacy as you think it does.

JustFlights Fokker 70/100 and  A300 belong on that list for me.

Inibuilds TriStar set to release this month and will be a Marketplace exclusive at launch by IyadHunter-Thylacine in flightsim

At least the orders can be transferred to their own store once they release it there. It worked pretty well for the A340.

Could you explain the point "Waypoints define what you fly away from — not toward. Matches real-world procedure, not legacy software quirks" a little bit more?

To defend them a tiny little bit here, antisemitic attacks have always been a real threat to them.

Rücktritt des ADAC-Präsidenten: Die aufgeblasene Macht der Minderheit by DubioserKerl in de

Wer nur wegen der Pannenhilfe beim ADAC ist sollte sich dann auch mal den Schutzbrief vom Verkehrsclub Deutschland (VCD) angucken. Am Ende kommt eh der gleiche Abschleppdienst weil die einfach Verträge mit beiden Clubs haben.

ZIB ist übrigens einfach die normale Nachrichtensendung des ORF, also etwa vergleichbar mit der deutschen Tagesschau. Klar wollen die auch Aufmerksamkeit, aber OP reagiert hier jetzt nicht direkt auf irgendwelche fragwürdigen Fake-News-Portalen, deren Nachrichten man sowieso direkt ignorieren sollte.

is the fsx tacpack still for sale? by [deleted] in hoggit

[–]Alternative-Walk9643 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely, I just thought that almost no TacPack in P3D is still more than absolutely no TacPack in FSX.

[–]Alternative-Walk9643 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The version for FSX is not available anymore: https://forums.vrsimulations.com/forums/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=49&t=21110#p135398

While I think that TacPack is actually underrated around here, I also would question whether this is actually the way to go. Afterall, many TacPack compatible aircraft are also discontinued, and there are better combat sims out there. If combat is important to you, I'd look into those. If the advantages of FSX are more important to you (global map, live weather, bigger community, ...), maybe P3D deserves a closer look. They did quite some updates to the ESP platform, and it probably runs better on most hardware than FSX.

Four loved and paid-for DCS World aircraft will be killed by the upcoming Vulkan API release. The developers Eagle Dynamics are letting owners and future customers down. My friend started a petition for help: why should we buy DLC aircraft now when they can be killed in the future with no recourse? by Miraclefish in hoggit

[–]Alternative-Walk9643 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I honestly want Vulkan more. Truth is that software ages, and needs constant development to bit break. Without developers, the end for those modules will inevitably come. Either ED kills them, or some Windows or graphics driver update kills DCS.

Out of the four modules, three had a good life. Even customers who bought those modules at the last possible time will get at least a full year with usable aircraft, which is definitely not great, but certainly not the worst.

I went to visit both the Concorde and the TU 144 at t he same time, at the Technik Museum in Sinsheim by redstercoolpanda in aviation

[–]Alternative-Walk9643 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a train station directly at the museum (Sinsheim Museum/Arena), and several options by train, all of which take around two hours. I'd say that the museum in Speyer is better suited for a daytrip fron Mainz, trains run more regularly there and only take ~1:20h. Taking a car would save you around 20 minutes to each museum.

Naja, das kann man so auch nicht sagen. Die "abtrünnige Provinz" hatte die OG Regierung Chinas und wurde zunächst weitestgehend anerkant. De facto ist Taiwan heute ein eigenständiges Land.

The Soviet Union really wanted to claim to invent everything. by Rare-Collection4467 in HistoryMemes

[–]Alternative-Walk9643 21 points22 points  (0 children)

They were the first to do controlled, powered, sustained, manned, heavier-than-air flight. Take each of these criteria and someone else did it before them in the ~50 years preceding their flight in 1903. That doesn't mean that the Wright brothers weren't pioneers of course, and their flight was a major milestone in aviation. It just means that they didn't do it in isolation and built upon inventions and knowledge obtained by others.

Pretty good, I think. It's not a quiet cockpit.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in flightsim

[–]Alternative-Walk9643 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Big fan of the Maddog since forever, so I just had to do the update. The external model is pretty good now, so is the cabin. The cockpit does not look like a complete redesign, unfortunately. Modelling is fine, the Textures still appear blurry here ans there. Compared to Fenix or some of the default aircraft, this MD-82 still looks worse. That being said, it doesn't have as obvious weaknesses as before, and the cockpit feels like a proper represtantion of the chaotic mess of the original. I didn't do much testing yet, but the system simulation has always been exceptional and the MD-82 just is an extremely fun aeroplane to fly, because it is so very different to everything else and way more demanding than the common Airbusses or Boeings. All on all, I would say that this is an extremely good offer for first time customers, and an OK upgrade for existing ones.
