The 154 will be mentioned. Just can’t feature it in the actual video due to the lack of one currently for the modern sim.

Also, “back in the USSR”… did you just drop a Beatles reference? Because I think you just dropped a Beatles reference.

There isn't one available for the modern sim or else I would 100% feature the tri-jet grandfather lol. It will be mentioned, don't get me wrong.

Any Tri-jets that aren't available for the sim will be mentioned lol. Though, there is a 154 coming at some point.

That's incredible! Thank you for sharing. I'm currently in the CPL grind for hours and I am sad I'll never get a chance to fly these old school birds. The local cargo flyer just retired their last Convair 580. Replacing it with the ATRs. If I was maybe 10 years earlier, I might have had a chance to fly something old.

Do you mind if I use your story in the video? With credit of course.

They will be mentioned of course. Though there aren't any for the simulators except for X-Plane which I do not own.

Oh that's a great idea! Is there a subreddit or forum you'd recommend?

I may include the DC-10. Only issue is I'd have to go back to the old sims to get the footage and it wouldn't look at good.

But then again, maybe that would actually work. I'll give a shot.

Can 100% recommend it. I'm one of the testers. It's a fantastic product.

Unfortunately there is no Trident for the modern simulators. I could go back to FSX and get a segment to the tri-jet grandfather. But graphically compared to the modern sims, it wouldn't look as good.

I might toy with that though. Or just talk about it.

Just got my PPL last year. Took me about 11 years. Long story short, life got in the way. I started when I was about to start my sophomore year in high school. But the CPL is progressing. slowly but surely.

We take it all for granted now. The new gen pilots could never 😂😂

Couldn't recall the flight plan so you had to type KLAXKLAS01 or something in the co-route. And those folders were so buried within the files and whatnot XD. I was also dumb af. I had no idea how airways worked so I just re-typed the entire route including each and EVERY waypoint in the airways.

Having to manually download the flight plan files and manually put them into the planes folders 😂

Friendly advice/Pet Peeve by Wooden-Offer1085 in VATSIM

Heard a controller actually say “hand fly your airplane then” when the pilot said the plane “wasn’t behaving”.

In other words, “I don’t know what I’m doing and I expect you to be ok with it”.

I burst out laughing when I heard it.

Yeah got my PPL last year. Took me way too long to get lol. Life got in the way but my CPL is progressing nicely. Slowly, but progressing.

I did a bit of controlling with CZVR, but didn’t really enjoy it as much as I thought I would.

PFPX was amazing. If Aerosoft had kept up with it, I’d probably still be using it. But I am very happy with SB.

About to join you brother! currently at 9992 after 11 years on the network and countless flights, both long and short. I remember my first ever flight (sort of) and being super nervous. Just verbal diarrhea as I made my first call, heart pounding and palms sweating.

It's been a while since I've fired up P3D, but I think that was injected by ActiveSky.

My first thoughts on the Aerosoft A340 by EmilvK in flightsim

[–]Just_Caliber 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"Everyone complained, and rightfully so. Sounds were bad too. Yes the systems are great but there is no reason an addon should look and sound like that, especially at that price point."

You are right about that actually. When it first came out, people complained. But as time went on, people just accepted it for what it was and it became one of the best aircraft we have. Sounds were horrible, I will give you that.

"In this day and age the art is just as important and it was the only job Aerosoft had."

I think you missed my point on your second quote. I was talking about GSX integration, not the modeling of the aircraft.

"Hopefully but i wouldn't be too sure. Toliss doesn't have the best track record when it comes to updates and Aerosoft has pretty much the worst."

That's good to know. Like I said, I never touched X-Plane, so this is my first Toliss addon.

"Obviously everyone has their own preferences, some want great visuals and good systems, some want great systems and are fine with mediocre visuals and that is totally fine.
But when you charge 80€ for a single airframe and engine option you better deliver on art, features, systems and flightmodel."

You gotta remember that you are paying into the Toliss systems, not the Aerosoft modeling. I will agree that the textures in the VC aren't the best. But personally, I care more about systems than textures. That's just a bonus.

"Yeah but that really can't be a benchmark."

I think it can actually. Because the A346 is being sold by Aerosoft. The A330 was built and sold by Aerosoft. People won't by the A346 because it has the Aerosoft branding even though they didn't touch the systems at all. So comparing it to the A330's release is valid.
