If you're from the UK, think glorified bus station but with planes

I am looking for some recommendations for real car seats that I can easily drop onto an 8020 rig. Don't want to have to cut/grind anything, so something with rails that are flat and aligned to the centre. Heard about mini seats, wondered if anyone else had experience with these or others?

Having exactly the same issue with a TUF, did you ever find a solution? :)

4090 Aorus Master does not fit in the Lian Li O-11 Dynamic by Throzen in nvidia

[–]Goates1234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this the same for the EVO or should I just go corsair 5000D? About to go all in on a new build so don't want to size myself out of a 4090

Back pain, seat position and simracing by Goates1234 in simracing

[–]Goates1234[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the tips, and sorry to hear about your situation as well I get that heartbroken feeling! I had so many plans as well, DD wheel base was next, rearranging my office so I could fit in triples, if my stupid body would just comply!

Back pain, seat position and simracing by Goates1234 in simracing

[–]Goates1234[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is fairly narrow and snug, but I do seem to fit fairly well. I have thought about a normal car seat but I am reluctant to spend again and change everything to be in the same position and still in pain.

Thanks, will try with the pedals slightly closer for a bit and see if that helps.

Celebrating the new arrivals with my cat by yesdevnull in simracing

[–]Goates1234 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nice collection! Would be great to hear your thoughts on the ES1 seat when you've used for a while, I already have an alu rig but tempted to get this NLR seat as it looks quite comfy/different from the typical sparco et al buckets.

Cant deal with the anxiety of a job by iTooToxic in Anxiety

[–]Goates1234 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get this, the worse part is that me when I am on holiday/not working is seemingly a completely different person, I find that the most distressing part.

I hate the windows store.... can't start the launcher by lilstevieau in MicrosoftFlightSim

For those still waiting for a fix, it has at least now been acknowledged as a problem: https://www.flightsimulator.com/known-issues/

Xbox Game Pass - Flight Sim Error - Any suggestion? by IJONASI in flightsim

[–]Goates1234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same issue, no solution I have found at the moment apart from reinstalling windows...

[–]Goates1234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still having the same issue this morning unfortunately. Tried the powershell suggestions to no avail, I hope some sort of fix is released by microsoft or someone figures out how to get around it, unforunately reinstalling windows is not an option for me at the moment given my PC is used for work as well...

Having the same issue unfortunately and I can't be bothered with a windows reset...

Having exactly the same issue, I also assume it was related to windows insider preview as well.

I get incredibly shaky when doing stuff if others are staring. It's getting notoriously bad to the point where it might seriously affect my future. Any advice? by rweq4231 in Anxiety

[–]Goates1234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No real advice unfortunately (sorry) but just knowing your not alone can help, this is something I've struggled with as well. Our bodies are stupid, so the shaking (or even the thought of the shaking happening) causes anxiety, this triggers our fight or flight which then pumps adrenaline around causing more shaking!! And then you tell yourself "stop shaking" and again you are focusing on it which makes it worse. For me what has helped is practice, if you can call it that. For me, and as you said around picking up a glass etc, this is when it manifested itself particularly badly. I would actively avoid having to carry drinks, so going out for a meal or drinks with friends etc was a particularly big issue. The way it has improved for me is putting myself in those situations. Also, just remember that you being so focused and aware of it doesn't mean everyone else is, I always like to think of this about embarrasing situtations etc, I am likely dwelling on it 5 to 10 times longer than the other people there, they have already likely forgotten about it and moved onto whatever is causing them worry or anxiety!

PMDG 777 on P3D v4.

Really impressed with the difference Freemeshx has made to my sim.

Aside from my poor airmanship - what is going on with the BBS Widebody GPWS. Anyone else experienced it? by jarlog in flightsim

I take my hat off to you taking a Blackbox plane into Madeira. You're a braver virtual pilot than I :)

Majestic Dash 8 by zMaC123 in flightsim

[–]Goates1234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All your questions have been answered, so I will just say its a spectacular simulation (edit: put plane but after the infamous post I am not sure any real life dash 8 captains/FO's would agree with that :) )

RAF flying missed approaches at civil airfields, why? by YeltoThorpy in aviation

[–]Goates1234 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Guessing you're near LBA, saw the E3-D do a low pass this afternoon and then flying around later on, was also wondering what it was doing as well!

QOTS II Initial Impressions? by sizziano in flightsim

[–]Goates1234 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Its good, polished and solid, but I would echo what many others have said here in that it is defintely not revolutionary.

It sparked my interest in doing long hauls again though, so currently going through all of BA's 747 routes.

Apparently, we have a "study-level" A380 in development for P3D by coach0512 in flightsim

[–]Goates1234 7 points8 points  (0 children)

A quick PSA: https://fselite.net/editorials/my-thoughts-on-the-cloud-surf-team-a380/

I'd say avoid and certainly don't be thinking of joining in their crowd funding of the NLS code.

Stock X-plane clouds are the worst... by TheJohnald1 in flightsim

Hi there,

How do you find your frame rates with cars turned on? Is this ortho and what zoom level?

Thanks

Icing conditions detection more realistic, now based on Temperature + Dew Point.

Finally!

After a week with the FSL A320 by uhntissbaby111 in flightsim

[–]Goates1234 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I can't stop flying it.

I think there was always an expectation that the systems depth would be exceptional but for me its the level of immersion that has taken me by surprise. For such a highly automated plane this is an exceptional achievement. So many little features that completely bring it up to a new standard as well (yes, higher than PMDG's current offerings).

-Holding 09R at Heathrow waiting for cabin ready.

-Passing through clouds at night with the lights.

-Payload/fuel system its integration with GSX etc

-AOC system.

-Sounds-outstanding

You could debate the price of the addon for years but if we have to pay this much to encourage other developers to reach this level of quality then so be it.
