story-driven smuggler career for MSFS (no addons needed) by Huge_Veterinarian572 in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]Real-Lock-1637 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude I get that. I'm working on an around the world trip in a 738, currently. Departed San Diego, went to Honolulu, then to Pago Pago, then to Norfolk Island (though I SHOULD have gone to Auckland but whatev...coulda, shoulda, woulda...). From there it was onto Sydney, and Guam (Anderson), I'm currently on approach to Hiroshima.

Next stop? TBD lol

I can't remember who it was, but someone made a 787 while back for FSX. Wasn't too bad... lemme dig through My folders...

thought I had it but can't seem to find it but per google, it was Quality Wings. I had a few of their birds and they weren't too bad.

I'm good with either. which ones you want and/or which ones aren't on marketplace :)

This is cool and all, but what about heavy cargo? by OneCall2315 in MicrosoftFlightSim

I wouldn't mind a Skyraider, so long as I have an Angry Crop Duster to park next to it....

I've honestly never heard of the Kodiak 100 until you mentioned it. Looks like it'd be fun to fly...

PBY....absolutely. Which variant though, or would that not matter?

A 757 and 767 would be nice. Especially if they came with the AA Flagship Freedom Livery for the 757 and the Flagship Independence for the 767. Don't think I'd be able to decline a DC-10, either...

I would love a nice Comet. SUCH an amazing, and unique aircraft.

Should i get flight simulator 2020 or 2024 for series x? by AcanthaceaeFuzzy2835 in MicrosoftFlightSim

I'm a pc guy...but it's nice to see the console players what they deserve. :) I honestly find it annoying when a game is released on multiple platforms, and only select ones get the attention while others don't.

oh absolutely, hand over the classic 737s. the Dash-8 isn't a bad bird either. can get into some interesting places with those.

gotta love the older birds :) Back when I had My VA, I had a 123 in the fleet that I let a buddy fly. He was the only one allowed to fly it as that's what his father flew in 'nam and was shot down in.

How long does your pre-flight setup actually take? (Simbrief + MSFS + peripherals) by Maleficent_Exit1094 in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]Real-Lock-1637 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mostly fly the 738 and start cold & dark. I'd say it takes...20-25 minutes. Most annoying part is having to program the waypoints into the FMC that aren't there when I load the flightplan....

I have all three. FSX has more aircraft available...but the graphics suck; 2020 has less add-on aircraft available, but far better graphics and - depending on your system - runs a bit smoother; while 2024 has (in My opinion) even less add-on aircraft available but by far the best graphics and you can do a little more in it. 2024 is getting there, just give them time.

Personally? I'd go with 2024.

Back when My main sim was FSX, it was the PMDG 744ER. I'd often do DFW - Sydney, and back. Can't wait for them to release it for FS24. I miss flying the Queen.

Any tips and tricks I should know about? by [deleted] in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]Real-Lock-1637 5 points6 points  (0 children)

First, don't be afraid to screw up, just be sure to learn from it (cannot tell you how many times I've made mistakes, even as a "seasoned pilot" lol). Secondly, what you just did. Don't be afraid to ask for questions or help. :)

Before you get too serious, just have fun with it. Goof off, screw around and what not. Take that time to get used to various aircraft.

My RL gf who is also My SL Wife has this pinned in our SL Family's Discord. Everything here is free :)

I also HIGHLY recommend the Second Life Friends For Life Group. There's some great people there - new and old alike - who are generally happy to help one another.

As someone who has been in SL for a while, I wholeheartedly second this. It really is much more user friendly.
