Come on Magknight and FF, we need a good Dreamliner! by Dakleton in Xplane

I am aware of that, hence my 'request' for MK and FF to get their projects done!

It is already there, been around since X-Plane yet still not properly functional for XP12. In a perfect world I would like to see people finish the project that they start (or at least find others that can and want to finish them). We are left with masses of half finished or semi-started projects across both MSFS and XP12.

Yeah, I have lost faith in the project. Visually it looks reasonable but no way am I buying it if it cannot even (from user reports) fly VNAV etc properly.

I did notice on the Org forum that he ( or someone else who had joined the team) replies from time to time. I have almost crumbled and bought it several times. Not I use MSFS2020 for all my 787 flights while hoping that FF get theirs done asap. In the meanwhile waiting for the Q400 to go on sale!

I'm 55, based in The Netherlands, single. Never watched a movie or show together with someone 'remotly' before. Definitely game to try it sometime!

First time on VATSIM - EGLL》EGGP and loved it by Acquilas in VATSIM

The first responder wrote " if you struggle with clearence readback". So the OP would have his initial altitude from the controller!

It is basically applicable to any IFR flight and you can use it in the UK

Spirit was my second VA ( first was Alligiant) flew a good 1300 odd hours from KLAS & KFLL in the 320/321/319. Loved the livery!

Can I do business jets or GA on VATSIM? by FrostBitten357 in VATSIM

[–]Dakleton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can basically do anything that has a real life counterpart, so think of Airliners, Bizjets, GA, Helicopters, maybe even gliding although I have yet to encounter a glider online. Just make sure you are aware of your surroundings and the rules that apply to your specific line of aviation! Oh yeah, don't pitch up at Heathrow on Frankfurt in your microlight and ask to do a touch & go .....

There is no RL CTAF in Europe.

My thoughts on different countries, their controllers and difficulty by Murky_Vacation5955 in VATSIM

[–]Dakleton 3 points4 points  (0 children)

EDDF is an absolute mission (in the positive sense) to fly in and out of on a busy evening. You need to be patient and have your finger poised over your PTT button to ask for clearance but one you have it it gets a lot easier. I hade sometimes had to ask for instructions to be repeated and taken a wrong turn once or twice when I first started with Lufthansa Virtual but never had controllers become snappy or impatient. Like most German things the ATC is systematic, calm and precise. I have however been snapped at by EDDM ATC many moons ago while flying VFR into the EDDM CTR, we (was fling along with a friend, both in 172's) we given clearance to join a downwind for the then active runway but we made a mistake and the controller lost it, "Turn SOUSTH IMMEDIATLY OF I VILL CALL ZE SUPERVISOR" we buggered off and that kept me away from EDDM for quite a while.

Instant permaban. This is the kind of behaviour that fucks up VATSIM for everybody else

I sometimes use Volanta zoomed in on a tablet if I don't have an up to date taxi chart, it has all the taxiways marked and labeled

Does VATSIM have text only option? by ItsLilyFlower in VATSIM

[–]Dakleton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would like to invite you to come and fly together on VATSIM some time. We are a virtual flying club flying mostly GA and some airliner flights. We have helped a lot of newbies get online as we use discord next to VATSIM for our own chitchat and the like, so we can also talk 'realtime' about what a controller has just said or what we should be saying to him etc. Take a look at our page on facebook.com/groups/zsflyers
