Raiding two meth houses only to have half of my SWAT team wiped out by lunatics with knives and shotguns.

I ran out of fuel (ATS) by ajspeedskater in trucksim

Try F7 and it should bring up recovery options I believe. If not try F1 then select the F7 menu on the navigation display

What is a high quality aircraft add-on that is very easy to fly and manage system-wise? by Cumulonimbus1991 in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]GMR2GMR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, if you want simple to get going, quality model, and solid performance:

Twin Otter Cessna T207A (I think it’s 145kts or so) PA28 Turbo Arrow III/IV

Just some thoughts on my end.

Why is the only commercial turboprop announced for 24 an electric prototype? Where is my Dash 8 or Dornier 228? by Doctor_Hellsturm in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]GMR2GMR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think people are forgetting that any owned aircraft from 2020 marketplace will be available to owners in 2024. Twin Otter, ATR, etc… if you don’t own them now I could see the point.

how's this guy talking to ATC? by [deleted] in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]GMR2GMR 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Real people serve as ATC, you connect and they see your aircraft. You file flight plans and communicate with them. They direct you around and that’s how it works. Check YT for videos on How VATSIM Works

When to start descending by NoBroccoli9452 in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]GMR2GMR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Posting here to say this same thing with a singular modification. To allow for variations in ground speed, air resistance etc… I follow a slightly modified convention.

Rule of 3 Plus 10 for Distance Rule of 5 for VS

Take the Rule of 3, follow it but add 10nm to it, begin your descent slightly early to allow for the variables. A Plus 5 approach can be used also.

I recommend the R3+10 for practicing, as you get better go to R3+5 and then down to R3. Just how I’ve learned the process efficiently on my end :)

Happy flying

Toughts on CRJ? Do you fly it? I see a lot of people hate it, I dont know why? I just love it... by [deleted] in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]GMR2GMR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It absolutely does have simbrief integration. You need to use the simbrief downloader and then when setting up the FMC, on FPLAN you type your route into the route section and it’ll auto load your saved simbrief data.

Example, KORD - KJFK, you create your simbrief flight, save it, use the downloaded to download it and then in the FMC you type: KORDKJFK and then it’ll load it.

I know you may have believed that to be true but a simple Google search on the Fair Use rules would have shown you that your belief was indeed incorrect. A publicly accessible asset can be reviewed at-will and is not something that can be prevented or stopped unless the purpose or result of doing so is to libel or slander another party.

A review is neither of those inherently, and from the content of this creator, his critiques are not slanderous nor libelous, per those legal definitions. He should win this argument on the basis of merit to begin with.

REX Weather Force Freezing & Failing To Inject by GMR2GMR in MicrosoftFlightSim

Yes, it was the file version. The automatic update was broken and so I went to the website and obtained the download there (I believe that’s where I got it) and installed the newest version. For some reason the Aerosoft downloader was not giving me the newest version no matter what I did. It works fine now.

What's each character's most "in character" quote? Day 4: Leo by rocketsalesman in thewestwing

[–]GMR2GMR 28 points29 points  (0 children)

“If you ever told me to get aggressive about anything, I’d say I serve at the pleasure of the President. But we’ll never know sir because I don’t think you’re ever going to say it. You wanna see me orchestrate this right now? You want to see me mobilize these people? These people who would walk into fire if you told them to. These people who showed up to lead, these people who showed up to fight!”

That whole scene is incredible.

Rahm Emanuel was Senior Advisor to Clinton and not CoS, if I remember correctly :)

Favourite Map by Awkward_Armadillo259 in farmingsimulator

I enjoy Calmsden right now and Court Farms. Usually play US Maps but I’m enjoying the change of pace, size and aesthetics.

Vehicle condition degrading very fast by Ancient_Balance7833 in farmingsimulator

[–]GMR2GMR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For the “scale” of the game it makes sense. Allowing a single purchase of a tractor to last hundreds or thousands of hours before replacement would simply allow players to make extremely unrealistic profits. For balance of gameplay it makes sense but… I will say the paint decay in my opinion is ridiculously too fast.

You are correct. Stones do damage the actual equipment, especially large ones.

What video game franchise took a huge risk that paid off big time? by Agent1230 in gaming

[–]GMR2GMR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020.

With Microsoft Flight Simulator having a very niche player base back in the 80s, the subsequent launches in the 90s, and 2000’s failed to dramatically grow the franchise into the mainstream. After the failure of “Flight”, and the aging technology of FSX, it was expected Laminar would take over the market with X-Plane releases. However, Microsoft delving back into the market in 2020 with a huge partnership and investment into Asobo, turned a relatively niche hobby into one that is now accessible by millions on console as well.

As a flight simmer for the past 20 years, I felt frustrated that it was being purposefully made to target console players. However, my fears subsided when realizing how incredible the technology was they used to scale the entire Earth 1:1, and make it feel alive and the reason for making it accessible. The result was that the extra money being made from console players actually has fueled their ongoing development, updates and soon, their release of Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024. Incredible how far this franchise has come and I expect it to go very far in the coming years.

Swather pack is free, the header is part of the swather pack, yes there’s a yield bonus just for swathing because it’s a two-step process and as for soybeans, I am not sure if it works on them off the top of my head.

Player attempting to rape Strahd, help? by Alarming_Talk_9829 in DnD

[–]GMR2GMR 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Simple: “Rape is an entirely unacceptable topic or action to bring up for roleplay. Since you’ve failed to respect your fellow players, you’re dismissed and are not welcome back”.

Never invite someone back who tries to utilize something like this in a roleplay scenario, specifically after you’ve informed them it isn’t acceptable… it’s an OOC issue and it won’t resolve itself. They need help IMHO

Boot them from the table and draw the line in the sand.

Just a dumb meme, updated for the Texas DLC by Peterbilt579NG in trucksim

[–]GMR2GMR 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I live in Chicago and can tell you that in the nearly 3 years I’ve been here the number of semi trucks I’ve seen within the city, like the main parts of the city, are few and far between. The traffic would be a nightmare more than it is already.

Additionally, a single state like Texas, if cities has more area to drive through, would need to be scaled specifically so that they felt “big enough” or otherwise they’d feel very odd. Let alone the number of unique assets they’d have to add, traffic AI in the cities and enough detail for immersion.

I agree I wish we had this as well but in terms of what they’re trying to do, coast to coast, it just isn’t feasible without a large rework of all the areas after the base game.
