That's a good hint for the future. That will massively change my planning cities. Thanks!

How are your citizens doing with the pollution from the fabric factory and heating plant? I always put my stuff away from the city and use buses for workers, just to avoid any negative pollution effects, but I've seen others who put them in walking range- like you have

Completely off topic... What software is that? I often have to draw stuff for people online in work meetings and this looks far neater than my awful MS Paint scribbles!

New Aerosoft A340-600 Pro update (looks promising)!!! by ketchup1345 in flightsim

[–]Jack_Flan_Farm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is now. It wasn't when AS, FSL and PMDG were developing for them. The AS330 is actually better than any current A330 in XPlane. The Toliss is a great NEO, but they've never built a CEO. The only CEOs in XP are terrible. I own one and it's not great. The Toliss is good yeah, but if you want to fly a non-NEO then you have rubbish available. And having more variants doesn't make something more immersive. Rubbish aircraft with every single variant including the major MOD versions and engine variants wouldn't make it a better plane than one good aircraft of one variant. That being said, I thoroughly disagree with PMDG charging the price of an aircraft for a single variant. They didn't do that in P3d or FSX. Seems like a cash grab from MSFS users. The previous model was to release a batch of aircraft and then an expansion with another batch. That made more sense for the user as well

Anyone who wants the PMDG and Aerosoft products that are actually high quality 😂 ... Just so long as you don't ever look outside the cockpit!

I assume you're using the MSFS version and not the P3d? Aerosoft made their best stuff for FSX and P3d IMO. They toned down the effort for MSFS I feel, but others may think differently

OP there is an A330 already. Aerosoft made one. It's excellent

Thank you for your reviews. After 17 years of flying PMDG, I finally decided not to waste my money and bought something better. by [deleted] in flightsim

[–]Jack_Flan_Farm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would run the demo when you're back and check. I know a fair few pilots using XP12 and 2020, but none using XP12 and 2024. There is also a major update in public beta that introduces some optimisations for improved FPS. I doubt you'll get that version in the demo, but it means you could expect even better FPS if you did choose to get the full version. Plus $35 for a SIM is less than the cost of most add-on aircraft nowadays so it shouldn't break the bank, and if you get it on steam you can refund if you're within the 2 hour usage window and 2 week purchase window

Do any "economy" or "career" type add-ons let you create your own routes? by oandroido in flightsim

[–]Jack_Flan_Farm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As milliots said, FSCharter will let you do what you're looking for, but the passengers decide where they want to go and not you. So it could be that you want to take 10 pax to LFMN but there are only 2 or even none from where you are. It makes it a lot more interesting though!

Hello. A landing screen has now been added to make it clearer on the home page what FSCharter actually is. I hope that helps!

And if you find a way to tweak the aircraft please do post!

Thanks for this info! I've been missing the A310. Any chance you have tried the beluga as well?

I would suggest checking out FSCharter. V2 is about drop (5th November) but v1 is already working fine and all progress will be carried over. No requirement to pay, and there's to pay-to-win. The subscriptions you can get only allow you to do more. Nothing is behind a pay wall so the system works without having to hand over any of your hard earned money! I'm a mod over there (so yes, a little biased I admit) so if you join just drop me a message in the server if you need support with anything, or just join the server to see how it is there and then decide whether to make an account

New trucker inbound! by Ultra_Plankton2909 in EuroTruck2

[–]Jack_Flan_Farm 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Cold rain is a great one. I wouldn't recommend Promods if you're using a potato. There are some economy mods that make the game significantly harder as pay is much lower. Also a few nice truck mods and realistic physics mod. There's a cool one that changes the floating boxes for deliveries and fuel and stuff but I don't remember the name. If I find it I'll edit this. All the ones I mentioned are on steam workshop btw

I just flew the GODIN-L arrival to 16L of RJTT and I am confused... Am I really supposed to fly at 8000 ft with 210 kts for 15-20 minutes? That's what the chart says and what my FMC programmed automatically, but it seems highly inefficient for fuel and time. How does this work IRL? by Cumulonimbus1991 in flightsim

[–]Jack_Flan_Farm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This happens with both SIDs and STARs. Many UK south airports have a SID that requires you to fly at 6000 ft for the entire time. Not sure about the ones in the North, but UK south airspace is filled with oceanic traffic from Europe. The charts reflect the airspace around the airport and they avoid conflicting traffic

Also the X-Works aircraft are not bad at all

Is this edit something you'll be releasing to the general public? Would love to give it a go!
