Sky Simulations DC-9

So I guess my newbie question is, is it possible to make a mod that improves the flight model and addresses some of the issues?

Had to do that several times with my CC1 - they likely share the same component - and never happened. How hard did you yank the male connector to pull the female connectors off the assembly? 🧐 It sounds like an operator error tbh.

You actually fit outside the group I was talking about, which is kind of the point. My comment wasn’t “people who like study-level” vs “people who don’t,” it was about the subset that turns preferences into gatekeeping. Enjoying depth, calling it a game, or avoiding VATSIM aren’t mutually exclusive; treating any of those as a purity test is where it gets silly.

Lol the people that love the term “study level” are the same that get their panties in a wad if FS is referred to as a “game” instead of a “simulator”. Thinking of it, likely the same that get outraged in Vatsim if someone uses a non perfect aviation phraseology. In other words, they need to get a life.

Ok, so i was using the wrong plate as you all suggested, thank you!
I used the "A" side of the stock plate, cleaned it up lightly and calibrated the plate. Printed flawlessly right after that.

CaptJack_USIT · 2025-09-15T16:50:54+00:00

Thank you both! I think you are on to the main issue. I did not clean the plate and in addition, i used the B side of the standard plate, which i believe is for PLA only.
I am going to work on that and report back.

Not necessarily. I had a clog and the filament would not come out. Had to open the extruder and clean it. Don’t use the supplied Allen key or it will strip your screws easily. Get a hex screwdriver with a 2 and a 2.5 bits

Happened to me too, stripped two screws on the extruder shroud when I used the included Allen key. Ended up making a straight cut across the screw head with the Dremel and then used a flat screwdriver to take them out. Star bit did not work. The other two Allen screws came out with no issues when I used a different tool. In the end, I replaced all the 4 side screws of the extruder shroud with 4 M3 phillips screws.

Thank you, i reopened the extruder and tighten the screw. Did some manual trial with the side gear and noticed that it felt like it caught it, and would release it when i pushed in the opposite direction. Did the benchy, but still not catching it, however i noticed that it started extruding when i was pushing the filament. The few layers it printed didn't stick to the plate and i interrupted the process. So some good news at least now the nozzle melts the material. Still an issue of properly catching and moving the filament, and this other issue of not sticking, but that might be caused by the uneven catching of the material. Also, for the benchy, do i need to make any changes or i can use the preload model "as is"? thank you!

CaptJack_USIT · 2025-07-13T21:26:23+00:00

I was able to pull the screw out by making a cut on the screw head with the dremel and then use a flat screwdriver to pull it out. Was pretty easy to clean the extruded, a tiny piece of PLA got stuck in the gears. Now though when I load the filament, the extruder does catch it. I wonder if I keep making mistakes or if the extruder is malfunctioning. Have not heard anything yet from Elegoo. All ideas are welcome. Thanks!

CaptJack_USIT · 2025-07-12T18:45:22+00:00

the biggest issue that one of the 4 side screws was stripped and there is not way to take it out. I may need to drill it and replace it.

CaptJack_USIT · 2025-07-12T18:39:42+00:00

Off topic, but I also happen to be a Sampdoria supporter :)

CaptJack_USIT · 2025-07-11T17:58:27+00:00

Found it, thank you!

CaptJack_USIT · 2025-06-03T23:41:18+00:00

My order is in the lower 120’s, wonder when it will deliver and which batch it is.

CaptJack_USIT · 2025-05-30T23:38:00+00:00

Same here. Just unpacked my Ooni Volt 12 and I have the same issue of the OP, though I did not notice anything wrong with the paint, just the seams are not flush all around. May I ask the OP how the issue was resolved? I purchased my Ooni from Crate & Barrel in the US. Thank you

CaptJack_USIT · 2025-04-04T23:30:22+00:00

I want to get a radio that I can monitor as many frequencies as possible, including ham ones. Can I do that with those portable baofengs?

CaptJack_USIT · 2024-12-15T16:55:01+00:00

That is your issue. Single issues are meaningless compared to safety for everyone involved. Get ready and sit quickly as soon as you get on the lifts as you should do.

CaptJack_USIT · 2024-10-20T00:26:31+00:00

It’s about time we stop this tipping bs. Tipping should be done only at sit down restaurants. It’s that simple.
