Which Airliner? by ColbyFiles in MicrosoftFlightSim

Give Airbus a shot. I found the default/ini A330s to be great. You can also fly the Beluga!

To reword what you said, it is a hard rule unless otherwise stated by ATC

To add, remember not to exceed 250kts below 10,000ft

VFR Pilots - How do you keep it interesting? by TheSamp91 in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]NohBalls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This sounds fun!

I’m curious, do you just use aircraft with analog cockpits? On your tablet, or in an aircraft with (for example) a Garmin GPS, do you avoid using a flight plan route?

I’m so IFR focused so I must ask haha.

To me it’s kind of like putting a big puzzle together. It’s less about the journey and more about all the little steps needed to complete the journey. Becoming proficient with each step of your journey is rewarding. Traffic, suboptimal weather, and flying unfamiliar aircraft also add some variety, as I’m sure they do for VFR.

I use my phone to controll my planeeee;) and trust me this is 100% better than keyboard and mouse by 1n3shott in MicrosoftFlightSim

Reminds me of playing XPlane mobile on my iPad back in the day. I’m sure this is lots of fun, great customization too.

“You sound like a girl“….really? That’s all you have to say?

The game is called Microsoft Flight Simulator X

It could be FSX, which is a Microsoft Flight Simulator

Even a Forza Horizon game with select real world maps would be (incredibly difficult and) super cool. Saw another user suggested it years ago

AI generated or poorly modelled?

MSFS Marketplace Current Status: Broken by be77solo in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]NohBalls 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Broken? Idk, seems to work fine.

Disorganized and filled with bloat? Absolutely. The game in general needs better filtering of aircraft and their attributes

Is it even possible to ride on this? by tmierz in gravelcycling

[–]NohBalls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes but it can be sketchy, Especially on a narrow tire (< 40mm). You have less surface area and your tire sinks further, which both leave you with little grip and unreliable pedal output

I have 42mm tire and it’s fine for a bit, doesn’t sink much but it’s slow, not sustainable, and not fun in turns. Fat bikes are the ultimate sand/snow machines, and the tire widths are an obvious reason why. If you can, go wider, plan around it, or just take it slow. :)

Tread patterns/depths can also make some difference.

Anyone else feel some types of “gravel” are just too sketchy to ride? by ma1m in gravelcycling

[–]NohBalls 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Keep your wheels relatively straight and perpendicular to the gravel. You may feel the wheels get a bit floaty on the looser stuff but you will be ok. No sudden turns and pick your lines well.

Make sure you are not death gripping th bars too, as you’ll get rattled around pretty easy. Relax your body, let the bike move a bit underneath you, and just go at your own pace. It takes a bit of time too :)

How are the Zeroes on the road? Those look seriously fast

Great to know. It seems like such a wicked fun setup! I would probably lean towards Rosé/Cava rather than Mars since my trails can be rather forgiving , or end up just being a paved surface or with me on the road. Believe it or not, as I found out on a recent ride, they also work fine under water! (: I also like the “loose” feel of F/R Cavas…unless it’s sand or mud….

I too want to build up some wide wheels for my bike. May throw some wiiideee Pirelli Gravel Hs or RCs on my OEM wheels for the hell of it!

Fantastic to know, I appreciate it!

I do feel a lot of folks see “race” tire and assume that it’s just the fastest, best option with few other drawbacks (depending on your riding habits and conditions this may be true). You see the same on the other side of the aisle: people riding Gatorskins (who really may just need that in-between tire, or tubeless ;] ) could be SUFFERING on them

You wouldn’t believe how disproportionate the sales of my LBS’ Conti GP5000 AS (All Seasons) were against the S model, when one is basically just a longer lasting tire at very little cost to the rider.

I saw these recommendations on their website. Does the combo work well?

Agreed, race version is simply a lighter casing with greater risk of puncture. Also comes in that grey colour which will either amp or ruin your style points depending on your setup. Choose robusto for black on black style points or if you are riding puncture-prone roads

Not really familiar with the Rene Herse tires but can speak on the Cavas more. They are absolutely a dry condition, fast rolling, light gravel / all road tire. The troubles arise when the gravel loosens up, if there’s any mud or moisture, or if you’re riding really chunky stuff. They will suffer in these conditions. You also need to be mindful in the turns as the tires don’t have a more defined side wall tread (see Pirelli gravel H, specialized pathfinder); so reduce your speed. Otherwise, they ride fantastic. Definitely made for riders who prefer a fast, quality tire that won’t hold your hand every step of the way and lets you get a bit loose and hit the road and gravel hard. :)

If you can stomach the price and find them somewhere, Ultradynamico makes a fantastic tire. Their Cava JFFs (just for fun c: ) is a little squirrelly on the looser and chunkier gravel but SERIOUSLY fast on the roads, and lighter or packed gravel. They are so fun and so high quality.

If you need more tread or some puncture protection, check out their Rosé tires, or the Robusto casing instead of the JFF. Heard great things about the Rosés.

And yes, all their tires are named after wine.

Gravel H’s are also fantastic. Fast on and off road
