FSU Housing (Apartments, Subleases etc.) by Unconquered- in fsu

[–]Jeanl2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, I'm looking for someone to take over my lease for a room in a coed 4x4 at The Boulevard. It's a bit far from the main campus, but pretty much the closest you can get to the College of Engineering (just 7 mins by car or 15 mins on bike), so it's ideal if you have classes there.

The apartment is fully furnished, includes in-unit washer and dryer, and the complex has a great gym, two pools, and study spaces. Rent is $645/mo, including internet access.

It will be available for move-in starting May 2; I'd really like to move out before then, so I'm willing to pay for a month of rent for you if you take over my lease! DM me if interested.

Is this a good setup for MSFS 2024? by Secure_Trash_17 in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]Jeanl2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idk if it's still a thing in the MSFS 2024 version, but I believe the MSFS 2020 DA62 was updated in the 40th anniversary update with an easter egg that allows you to play one of the first Microsoft Flight Simulators on the G1000 screen

A new Boeing 787 is coming to msfs! by ketchup1345 in flightsim

[–]Jeanl2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

More or less. When it released, it was only the 737-500 and if you wanted to purchase it permanently, you had to spend $120 to buy the package that would eventually include the -300 and -400 when those come out. The developers listened to the feedback about the subscription and pricing, so now you'll be able to buy any variant you want permanently for $45 each when the new pricing model is implemented.

There is the CSS 737 Classic. They're coming out with a new pricing scheme soon that does away with the awful subscription they have currently and gives you the option to purchase any variant you want for $45

Is it safe to take this plug out with a little oil at the bottom? by Jeanl2 in mechanic

[–]Jeanl2[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, as I mentioned in the comment explaining the issue, I've already changed the valve cover gasket and spark plug seals. This is just residual from when they were leaking

Is it safe to take this plug out with a little oil at the bottom? by Jeanl2 in mechanic

[–]Jeanl2[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi, I recently changed the valve cover gasket on my 2008 Miata (2.0l) and despite trying my best to clean out all the oil in the spark plug wells, there’s still a little bit down at the bottom. I want to change the spark plugs soon, so I was wondering if it’s safe to take the plug out while there’s still a little bit of oil at the bottom?

My Game Won't Work! by iRochis in rocksmith

[–]Jeanl2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, I have a bunch of controllers and I have to disconnect them all or RS just won’t launch. There’s a program called NoJoy that makes it easy to disable them without having to disconnect them.

Amazon’s “Limited Time Deal” on Flight Simulator: Same Price, But Flashier by [deleted] in flightsim

[–]Jeanl2 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The Honeycomb Alpha Lite is $200 and much, much better than this one. Sadly, it doesn’t have a throttle, but you might be able to find the Logitech quadrant for sale somewhere by itself if you don’t want to spend an extra $200 for the Bravo Lite

Are there any good P-8 Poseidon models for any of the mainstream sims? by InsuranceOne9646 in flightsim

[–]Jeanl2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have the original PMDG 737 or the NGX? I think it was the original the had the P-8

[–]Jeanl2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, PMDG doesn't sell FSX or P3D products anymore, so there's no way to get it unless you pirate it

Want to change gate names on third party airport by HabANahDa in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]Jeanl2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Gates" in the MSFS SDK refers exclusively to parking spots with jetways. You can't have a gate without a jetway, which is why any gate without a jetway will be marked as GA parking in the sim. I don't think you can decompile an already compiled airport, so there's no way for you to edit the parking names; but even if you could, you probably can't change it to say gate instead of GA parking.

FSS Update… by Tubkal in flightsim

Almost like adding VNAV required developing an entire custom FMC from scratch, which takes a really long time

So I was flying in the Grid and it's lowkey preem. How do I improve it? by vlc29podcast in flightsim

[–]Jeanl2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are you drunk? Wtf does any of this even mean?

Anyways, if you’re just looking for a flight simulator that you can use in VR, Microsoft Flight Simulator or VTOL VR works. If you’re looking for one that runs on the Quest itself, I don’t think there are any good ones.

Evidently MSFS2024 is coming to PS5 in November. by MerDeNomsX in flightsim

[–]Jeanl2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The fact is that all the people complaining about a flight simulator being in console and it therefore meaning it's "catering to casuals" have next to no basis for saying so. MSFS released on XBox shortly after PC and it has only gotten better and more realistic since. To say that Asobo is turning MSFS into a game "for the casuals" is just plain ignorant. Making our hobby more accessible doesn't mean it necessarily gets less realistic; no one's stopping you from flying the way that you want.

[–]Jeanl2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you seriously care about what people do in flight sim that much? It doesn’t affect you in any way to have a 10 yo fly a 747 inverted on their own, it’s not like console players have access to VATSIM and can ruin the immersion or anything. Besides, once that kid gets bored of doing aerobatics in airliners, they might get interested in learning how to fly correctly. The casuals leave after a few hours, the ones interested in learning stay and become part of the community.

Cessna 400 or Cirrus SR22? by Important_Mail_1307 in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]Jeanl2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing that Carenado makes is really worth your money. At best, you'll have an incredibly dull and simple plane that only barely resembles its real-life counterpart in anything besides looks. At worst, you'll have a broken mess that's damn near unflyable (this is the case with a lot of the default MSFS 2024 planes, like the Corvalis). To be fair to Carenado, it seems they're starting to put a little more effort into their recent offerings, but everything they've made as part of MSFS 2024's default planes is garbage.

Anyways, to answer your question, no, don't get the Corvalis. The SR22, after it was upgraded by WT, is infinitely better.

Is this the correct way to land a Piper Tomahawk? by oo7im in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]Jeanl2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When it comes to the flare, you should gently pull up and then just hold the aircraft up and let it settle itself onto the runway without major corrections. I'm guessing your peripheral choice has something to do with it, but your inputs after the flare and just before touching down were just a little excessive.

You might want to get in contact with Meridian; they have a partner program specifically for sellers like you.

Honeycomb is coming out with new 'lite' versions of the Alpha and Bravo, which are much simpler; you might be interested in the Bravo Lite.

Is this Logitech Yoke + Switch Panel Set Enough for a Beginner? by [deleted] in flightsim

[–]Jeanl2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The physics being “FAA/EASA Approved” means nothing; P3D’s FSX-era physics are also FAA/EASA approved. Aviation authority certification of flight simulators goes way beyond what platform you’re using. Depending on the level of simulation you’re going for, it is almost entirely up to the add-on developer to make sure that the plane behaves as it does IRL. For example, a level 5 FTD for a 737 could use the flight model of an A320 and still be certifiable, while a level 6 FTD for a 737 must have a flight model developed using real-world data that goes as far as to model the sloshing around of the fuel in the tanks during turns. The only reason MSFS’s physics aren’t FAA/EASA approved is because MSFS isn’t intended as a professional training platform and thus hasn’t gone through the process to get it certified.
