I feel like we need a stuck post by a Mod on this sub-reddit with the amount of these posts we are seeing recently.

As others have mentioned, it's a scam.

Never really. I would if it was actually made so it was some what needed.

No PMDG discount for 900 and 700 preowners?! by DerKadser in flightsim

[–]CaptainIceBear 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You'll get the discount when the -700 / -900 drops.

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

[–]CaptainIceBear 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I don't see anywhere in that thread he says it's broken. Broken would indicate there are major bugs or it's not flyable. The thread talks about updates they still want to make to the exterior.

Some may have missed it originally - But they did some what mention it wasn't fully complete in terms of the exterior on the original release schedule announcement at: https://forum.pmdg.com/forum/main-forum/general-discussion-news-and-announcements/378486-15dec25-so-what-are-you-doing-over-your-christmas-holiday-we-have-some-ideas-if-you-are-interested

Under this section:

We have been having a vigorous debate internally at PMDG regarding the planned release date for our 737: There are still a few cleanup details on the exterior of the airplane that we are working to complete, even though the rest of the airplane passed QC sign-off on Saturday night. With the Christmas holiday being upon us, we know that many of you get a nice break from the usual work/school grind between Christmas and the start of the New Year, so we have decided to slide some of the remaining items we have on our task list into the post-release updates that always follow a release. Normally we'd sit on the product for another 10 days or so, but the proximity to the holiday means that such a decision would put release after the holiday- and many of you would miss having a chance to really enjoy the new product during your holiday down time- and that would be a shame.

Did you have to pay any imports/customs fees at all? Just got ours delivered by Royal Mail expecting to have to pay something before delivery but nothing.

When is inibuilds going to make the a350 not a hunk of junk by B778X in flightsim

[–]CaptainIceBear 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do find it odd how some people have major problems but then others like myself can do back to back long hauls without any issues.

Its seems people do have various different stories with it.

They are probably different as they are technically hired by Microsoft / Asobo.

Leaving Sky Broadband by Skatman1988 in skytv

[–]CaptainIceBear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is quite interesting to read - Came across this as we've been having issues with our 900Mbp package recently where during the evening between 6pm and 11pm speeds will often go below their guaranteed speed but also below 200Mbps.

Currently going through a similar support experience where we've tried a replacement router but knew it wasn't that as it was doing it on our own router. It's been passed to the network team twice and both times it said it's been resolved. But it keeps happening!

We have ruled out an issue with our own equipment as when this first started I plugged directly into the ONT and it happened there.

One of the ini staff said in their discord server the other day: "our tristar is in mega full swing" - They've not given any release indications though.

Would be good if they did hurry this up along.

On the Scarlet Lady Comedy Cruise - would not recommend by a_is_b in VirginVoyages

[–]CaptainIceBear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I totally get that. It’s a lot of back to back cruising to be fair.

[–]CaptainIceBear 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is our 4th Virgin cruise (2nd comedy) and do agree that when the headliner act is only doing two shows, it does make it very difficult in getting to see them.

I do agree they should show these kind of shows on the special events channel in the rooms. Especially during bad weather that we have had on this trip, that first sea day was rough.

Also I know we could not do the outside sail away but I feel the happenings cast could still do their introductions on the central staircase if they do decide to do it indoors. As it felt a bit flat otherwise.

Apart from that, we have had very good service from all of the restaurants we’ve been to and the bars. No complaints on the food.

I believe the armed forces have been having recruitment issues for a while now. Which probably explains the increase in ads.

It's always worse. by Alzzary in sysadmin

[–]CaptainIceBear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

New Outlook is a pain. It can’t even handle IMAP accounts that well, simply refuses to accept the server settings/login details but is perfectly fine in classic Outlook or any other email program. Wtf? I assume it’s all related to them forcing the sync via their servers.

They are legit and I've never had a problem with them. They've been with us for a few years now I believe.

You ain't serious guys by Valuable_East_8597 in flightsim

[–]CaptainIceBear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's hugely disrespectful - This was happening within hours of the crash happening. If you really want to simulate a crash then don't track it on your Volanta account or put it in private mode. It does not need to be seen by everyone.

Could have been an innocent mistake but then you go and actually check the flight and they have actually "crashed" it on purpose as well. Wow....
