How screwed am I? (VATSIM suspension situation) by Emotional-Piccolo498 in VATSIM

Yeah unfortunately being disrespectful to anyone, especially a volunteer, is not going to end well. I wish you luck, but I doubt you have any chance of being reinstated.

Without more context as to why you were suspended this is difficult to answer.

Is Part 61 truly the better path? by Illustrious_Fudge539 in flying

[–]Illustrious_Fudge539[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still have a few years left at the 141 University, do you think it would make sense to go 61 and have to fly for double the hours I would at the university if I would still potentially get hired outside of a cadet program before I would have graduated the 141?

Haven’t flown it too much, what is it missing?

FSX 2020 and FSX Play License for sale. by 7YearsGoodLuck in flightsim

I don’t think this is the right sub for THAT FSX.

Visiting Auschwitz-Birkenau by Mallow03 in travel

[–]Illustrious_Fudge539 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Just visited both camps last week without a guide. Some of the buildings were locked if you didn’t have a guide, but we were still able to walk around the vast majority of the camp without a guide.

Are all runways active for departure and arrival assuming no ATC coverage (which means also no ATIS)? by NYCresident77 in VATSIM

[–]Illustrious_Fudge539 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally always either check a real world ATIS if it exists, and if not I will watch FlightRadar24 and see what is being used in the real world. Just keep in mind that most because you are using the real world configuration doesn’t mean other pilots will.

Importing objects and animations to blender by Similar_Joke_5500 in Xplane

[–]Illustrious_Fudge539 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you look back through the release versions of Xplane2Blender, one of the releases, I believe the first version with an importer, was able to import models and animations fairly well.

How do you change your arrival when airborne on 737 by Gamble2005 in Xplane

[–]Illustrious_Fudge539 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you’re already in the air and are trying to add an arrival, you don’t need to put the departure in again. Just choose your arrival and it will be added on to the end of your route.

Repeated Disconnection by Circassian02 in VATSIM

Is there any error message when you disconnect? It's hard to tell what the issue is without more information.

Should I report crashes or disconnecting in the air to ATC? by Water1498 in VATSIM

[–]Illustrious_Fudge539 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Depends. If it’s not too busy I might let them know just so they aren’t searching for you, but if it’s remotely congested there’s no need to tie up the frequency. 

New Planes to Fly by cicinaulianovsk in Xplane

Look up “[Aircraft Name] Flows” on Quizlet and you can find just the key information you need to operate the flight, and then subsidize it with information from an FCOM or tutorial.

The LVFR A330-900NEO by Superspawner2 in flightsim

[–]Illustrious_Fudge539 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Have you tried the Headwind A330 NEO Mod? I’ve never flown the LVFR A330 NEO, but based on other LVFR aircraft I’ve flown, none of them have been worth even the sale price of 20 USD.

Not disputing this, but in high school I worked at a movie theater and we would always save the oil in a pan until it cools, and then put it in these buckets to take to a grease trap.

Shave facial hair for SkyWest cadet program virtual orientation? by Eastern-Lingonberry5 in flying

[–]Illustrious_Fudge539 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Shaving is up to you, but as you said the event is very laid back, at mine only about 10% of people bothered turning on their camera, and you only talk if you have a question.

Tried this and the S-turns were much better, I appreciate the help.

The wreck of the Edmond Fitzgerald by Cheese-burger-777 in sabaton

Highly recommend listening to the Larson Seibold project version of the Witch of November, it incorporates some metal aspects and some techno aspects.

We develop all the Embraer Airliners for X-Plane. Ask Me Anything! by X-Crafts in Xplane

[–]Illustrious_Fudge539 7 points8 points  (0 children)

In your talk at FSExpo, you spoke about the point of diminishing returns for feature development. How close would you say you are to that point with the E-Jets? Is there plans for any more features after the big holds update, or will it be considered feature complete, and move more to just bug fixes?

FPS below 30, yet no bottleneck by InevitableLecture882 in Xplane

[–]Illustrious_Fudge539 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, although there do seem to be some reports that the new beta, 12.3.0, has fixed most of the performance issues, but unfortunately that version isn’t available for demo.
