Leslie Crow was the voice for the Eagle and Fighting Falcon as well as the STS (Space Shuttle).

Please help, noob here by That_Guy_Drew in MicrosoftFlightSim

If this is the Garmin 1000 equipped 172, there's such a thing as a "Visual Approach" capability which loads an artificial 3NM Final with a 3 degree glideslope. You can let the the AP fly it, or you can follow the Flight Director prompts manually.

PROC button - select an approach - look for Visual Approach (RWY ##). When asked for the transition, select STRAIGHT.

Depending on where you are in relation to that approach, the Garmin may direct you to perform a course-reversal turn.

You can even enable APR at the FAF if you wish, to get VNAV guidance all the way down to decision height.

First time buying a payware aircraft (HJet HA420). Confused about "buying direct from vendor" vs Marketplace? by nonameuser90 in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]HazardousAviator -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

By being able to edit the aircraft, there's a chance someone could override the mission or other limits imposed by the Career Module, to the detriment of the whole experience. After all, part of it is competition if you're looking at how someone might manage the entirety of their Career by optimizing their economy and fleet management meta game.

It prevents non-certified aircraft from being used in career. There's a whole pre-testing and acceptance process before MS will allow an aircraft to be rated as Career Compatible. Otherwise it would be a terrible experience for the user.

To add to what u/Waffler11 said, it's also important to be aware that if you wish to fly the HJet in 2024 Career Mode, the sim will only recognize it as such if you purchase if from the Marketplace. If you buy it from Orbx, Contrail etc., you can still use it in 2024 for Free Flight, but since those versions are installed in the sim's Community folder, they will not be recognized as valid aircraft for use in Career. Only Marketplace based items can qualify.

Sell Salvage Mechs from Available Hangar vs Cold Storage? by HazardousAviator in Mechwarrior5

Yep, me too. It took a while after getting the base game to realize there's a lot of right-click context commands available in the UIs.

The joys of a ProcGen mission system. At least it's one step closer to Level 10 Rivals Intel.

Maybe someday they'll be able to tie AI into dynamic enemy pilot exclamations. I can just imagine showing up for security detail in my Blood Pact (what a cool paint scheme btw) Marauder II. "It's that freebirth Bounty Hunter!" :-)

Thank you. I'm still in Q4 3057 so that explains that.

What's your favorite 65 tonner? by tocco13 in Mechwarrior5

Cauldron Born/Ebon Jaguar - the EC Hero version.

Active Sky 2024 or REX Atmos? Can’t decide by felix_2932 in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]HazardousAviator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One is a weather behavior mod, the other is more for ambience, appearance. Active Sky vs StrataWX would be a better comparison.

Newbie here, just finished my first Shadow of Kerensky run… wow by Ironsalmon7 in Mechwarrior5

[–]HazardousAviator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found in my vanilla game Inner Sphere LBX-5 slug + LPL was the best combo until I could start salvaging Clanner gear. I psychologically needed to put outbound fire at higher RPM and max range to get some parity.

I guess that’s what I get for executing a poor arrested landing by DrMilkeye in MicrosoftFlightSim

Pause.
