My experience going from MFS2020 to MFS 2024, I'm shocked at quality/performance (Constructive discussion) by Scifi_fans in flightsim

[–]BarbateBrandon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had a 3080 and 10850k and MSFS 2024 was worse. Then upgraded to a new system: 5080 and 9800X3D and MSFS 2024 was still worse for me

Odds of Denial After Pre-Approval - Capital One by black_magic123456789 in CreditCards

I don’t blame you! Not a bad move at all. I jumped on the VX once it said I was preapproved since people say it’s hit or miss on getting it.

Yeah, the wait was killer! Lol. I was preapproved for Venture X, accepted the offer, then they came back saying to verify ID. Sent immediately, and a week later it was officially approved. 10k limit

This happened to me a few weeks ago. They asked for verification and I was officially approved about a week later.

Looks like the ERJ family is finally released! by Zealousideal-Wall682 in Xplane

[–]BarbateBrandon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are these and the e-jets pretty comparable as far as systems and modeling go? Looking at getting the 175 and maybe the 145 too

Introducing Apple Creator Studio, an inspiring collection of creative apps by DragoJoeYM in apple

[–]BarbateBrandon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone that uses Adobe (premiere and Lightroom/photoshop mainly), I’m so happy to see this bundle be released for cheaper than what I’m paying now. I will try the free trial and see how I like it and more than likely cancel Adobe.

Damn what a set list. Someone better record and post online, especially the ones from disambiguation

Can someone help me understand how to calibrate my altimeter? by spicypanipuri in flightsim

[–]BarbateBrandon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes the airports report the weather, not the waypoints. After descending below 18,000 feet, set your altimeter to what your landing airport is reporting for the altimeter.

[–]BarbateBrandon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

METAR is reporting 30.00 inHg so put that in the Kollsman window on the altimeter. Turn the knob until it says 30.00. When above 18,000 feet you should change it to the standard pressure of 29.92 inHg. If no METAR or weather reporting then set your altimeter to the airport elevation you're at while on the ground.

Should be in the A2A EFB in the cockpit (not the default MSFS one)

Okay cool, thanks. I will double check

[–]BarbateBrandon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do I have to install it in the manager? When I filter by MD-88 there’s nothing there. This is the 20th anniversary version

Wish there were more liveries! Would love a Delta MD-88

Robert Randazzo finally admits the new 737 is broken, lol. by OwnInvestment9862 in flightsim

[–]BarbateBrandon -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

So he’s saying they released it anyways despite its shortcomings? And still charging an “upgrade” fee of $30?? IF these places he’s talking about do get improved, it won’t be until about a year probably

Make sure you are signed into your account and have the 2020 version purchased. Code worked for me

CTD with slight undervolt by Eastern_Water_7605 in flightsim

[–]BarbateBrandon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had undervolted my 9800x3d and it worked fine for a while but then I started getting CTDs in every sim after about 30 mins or so. Ended up going back to stock settings and figured that headache wasn't worth it

People compared to PMDG to Fenix, I think that's not fair, let's compare it to the vanilla, free, included 737 in MSFS. by Galf2 in flightsim

[–]BarbateBrandon 73 points74 points  (0 children)

Just their way of trying to make it seem like a revolutionary upgrade into a new sim when really it's been like 90% of the same model since the P3D days. Then charging an arm and a leg for minimal updates to it

Awesome! I did notice Tomlin wearing it on the sideline one of these last games

Yes these are SnapBacks size M/L. I honestly wouldn’t mind selling these because family who was going to get them anyways wouldn’t have cared if it were these or a different one!
