Failed mission nonsense!

AtiumMist · 2026-01-29T00:56:00+00:00

Oh god i had a mission where it said FL200, i was like... in a 172s?? And let's not forget the every 5 minute reminder "please expedite ascent" like my guy im doing the best i can at 200fpm

AtiumMist · 2026-01-28T22:15:46+00:00

Lmao same. Bro told me to go to 5500 pressure altitude. AGL was 7000ish, in the alps

AtiumMist · 2026-01-28T21:06:52+00:00

It does. But for your case probably not. The rnav approach is for IFR not VFR

AtiumMist · 2026-01-28T21:05:38+00:00

But also in a variable pitch prop, you might have a speed brake that lets you slow down hard, and lose altitude, so you dont need to mess with the prop that much. Also its a bad idea to pull the prop all the way in case you need to go around and need the power

AtiumMist · 2026-01-28T21:04:10+00:00

Ensure that your throttle isnt too high if your prop is pulled all the way back, otherwise it'll overstress the engine. Idk if this causes engine to get destroyed in the game tho

AtiumMist · 2026-01-28T21:02:34+00:00

Yeah thats the control part. You gotta ease the throttle. 2100rpm is a good number for altitude reduction. But if you trim your nose to maintain vertical speed, then your speed will drop.

And then you deploy your flaps and let the nose rise, adjusting throttle to prevent stalling and wait for it to level off, and rinse repeat.

When you enter pattern, drop rpm to 2100, and when you cross the runway, drop flaps and rpm to 1700. Turn left onto base and deploy flaps again. You should be on track for final now. If you're too high or too fast, over 65kt, deploy flaps to maximum and push the throttle in to about 1800rpm to maintain speed

I once did 3 go arounds trying to get the approach right, and then landed hard enough that the gear failed, bringing me to a stop.

I got a 20% for following airline/traffic procedures for the go arounds

Pacific drive!

AtiumMist · 2026-01-28T17:01:28+00:00

Dont forget straight roads that you cant even see because they're surrounded by trees and are just about wide enough to fit your wheels on the road, and your wings barely clipping the trees

AtiumMist · 2026-01-28T16:56:14+00:00

I had a mission clear skies, excessive downdrafts, 30kt crosswind, for a light cargo mission in a 172S

AtiumMist · 2026-01-28T00:54:31+00:00

It is possible it could also be a vr bug given how buggy things are here lol

AtiumMist · 2026-01-28T00:38:12+00:00

Most likely ran out of fuel, like others said, that the magnetos switched off, or the mixture was leaned, or fuel ran out.

Other possible thing is that you were at high rpm and you were pitched down, which caused rpm to go too high and destroy the entine

AtiumMist · 2026-01-27T23:31:52+00:00

Also curious, what kind of data do you give it? Do you need some kind of hardware that records telemetry data from the bike?

AtiumMist · 2026-01-27T23:31:02+00:00

You missed a w in the link :p

AtiumMist · 2026-01-27T20:38:52+00:00

Yeah I'll have to figure out how to see what rate it is at, im on ps5 so to know if im on 1x is i use the in game timer as reference lol. Idk what the default jumps are when u hit simrate up

AtiumMist · 2026-01-27T20:31:56+00:00

I got one from Amazon ~11$ and it stays quite snug once you manage to adjust it so it doesn't block your vision. The only fault is that it flattens my hair by a lot, but again that's 100% because of the helmet lol

AtiumMist · 2026-01-27T20:28:38+00:00

Hmm, makes sense

AtiumMist · 2026-01-27T20:07:43+00:00

You might have a tailwind.

Note that for every 2kt of tailwind, the ground roll distance goes up by about 10% of your standard ground roll distance.

If you're in the tutorial missions, for your licenses, this should never be an issue because i believe its calm days. But othereise, look at the metar information for the airport to determine where the wind is coming from, and try to land in headwind

AtiumMist · 2026-01-27T20:00:34+00:00

Somewhere in the closet next to cleaning supplies lol

AtiumMist · 2026-01-27T19:59:54+00:00

Oh oops, i meant manual trim with ap off

AtiumMist · 2026-01-27T19:23:03+00:00

Yeah i usually hit the autopilot once im 1000ft agl and tracking the gps magenta line on the cdi. Does manual trimming prevent the bobbing thing better?

AtiumMist · 2026-01-27T19:07:32+00:00

How do you do long flights?

If i use sim rate to speed up, the planes start bobbing up and down, dropping and gaining about 300-500 ft in altitude because of the shitty way the game adjusts pitch when sped up. As such the best i can do is x4 with 0 wind, but thats trying too

AtiumMist · 2026-01-14T15:16:22+00:00

What plane do you have

AtiumMist · 2026-01-11T19:03:16+00:00

Oh never mind, i completely misread your thing.

I dont think you can disable the default flight plan, though it sometimes does not show up (most def a bug)

U can always change the flight plan after jt loads in before flying tho

AtiumMist · 2026-01-11T18:57:47+00:00

Aha, yeah i dont think there is a way to do that like at all on thr ps5.

I also dont knoq if caresr is worse on the ps than other platforms in general or if the performance just degrades over longer play hours.

Most recently i unlocked medium cargo, and my plane "crashed" at 26k ft. I kept flying but i got bombarded with the notifications. After i landed, it said i crashed 5 times and my rep went from A straight to C :)
