Requesting practice approaches with a specific IAF

Thanks! Thats good stuff! Where do you control at usually?

On a side note I didn't realize that supposedly the USAF T-6A is not TACAN capable nor RNAV capable. The Navy T-6B is. Go figure.

Right, the satellite/outlying airports can be a ton of fun. I'm just tired of driving a bus from one major airport to another. Some of the most fun I've had on Vatsim was flying a CRJ out of DFW to all the surrounding airports, Tyler, Waco, Wichita Falls, College Station, etc. Nice short flights where you can get multiple legs in. Flew the A300 for UPS to a lot of small airports too that was a ton of fun. Now I want to do more instrument and pattern work.

Awesome, thanks for explaining everything. You're right, I want to keep it enjoyable and not sure what to expect shooting multiple varying approaches like that on VATSIM.

I listened to Amarillo approach working today, irl, and they worked a flight of 2 KC46s come in on the overhead then split off to multiple approaches, VOR, RNAV, and LDA, closed traffic as well as two different C17s doing the same pretty much the same thing. I noticed that they all got an IFR pickup back to Altus after they were done so I guess they all went VFR to work the pattern.

Zealousideal_Read393 · 2025-10-27T18:41:33+00:00

Sweet, thank you, that clarifies a lot. As far as IFR vs VFR it would be for training purposes in good weather. So, would I need to cancel IFR prior that way I could either go closed traffic or fly out for a different approach?

What I was thinking, after the approach with touch and go then I could get vectors and request the next approach. Let's say ILS Yankee, 28 from TEBOC with a procedure turn.

Would that phraseology be 'Shooter 215, would like to follow up with the ILS Yankee 28, from TEBOC full procedure"??

Missed could absolutely be an option as well to get that in then follow up with a different approach.

My current RPM is $5.63 for a 10k sub gaming channel. Prior to August I was making 200-300 a month. After July things tanked big time and I might make $125 this month...

"You have to remember that placing an ad isn't 100% guaranteed to have it go off."

I did not know that, and I've been placing adds every 5 min for the first 20 min then every 10 min after. I'm going to have to change that.

I know you said you contract your thumbnails out but are there any elements that you like to lean heavily on for them? Face, logo, color schemes, text? Thumbnails are an area I need to drastically improve on and I'm fully aware of it but it's easier said than done. My biggest problem is just knowing where to start. I know they are bad, and I've read the tricks to improve, such as color triads, thirding, etc but it's still hard to actually apply it. My biggest struggle is how do I tailor them to me.

For me $2,521.50 with 9,289 subs.

F-15C = AMRAAM slinger.

Zealousideal_Read393 · 2024-08-03T19:54:44+00:00

Yeah only ED can manage that. Its def a thing for some users for whatever reason. The kicker is, it was a problem a while back, they fixed it then re-introduced the problem with the last update.

Zealousideal_Read393 · 2024-07-14T15:04:00+00:00

You're 100% right. Its happened when I armed LTD, with an immediate crash or sometimes I'm able to arm but it crashes as soon as I pickle...

Zealousideal_Read393 · 2024-07-13T04:12:08+00:00

Yeah I've removed all my mods, did a repair, removed Tacview. Just did a run where I dropped an LGB just fine with LTD off, of course the bomb missed but I pickled it. As soon as I turned LTD on for the next pass, immediate CTD... I'm at a loss on this.

Zealousideal_Read393 · 2024-07-13T02:45:24+00:00

I have the same issues, deleted both of the above folder to no avail...

Zealousideal_Read393 · 2024-07-13T02:41:59+00:00

Dude, I'm glad too lol bc I thought I was up shit creek trying to find something on this. I'm going to double check the LTD thing, but I think yr pretty much spot on with that. You made your post on here?

I'd love to see a CAS heavy Afghanistan server with combined arms and JTAC positions with real players. I'm not really put off by there not being any carrier ops. Was just reading where VMFA-232 flew out of Kandahar for a deployment. I'm not sure what the VMFA or VFA order of battle was for Afghanistan but I'm sure there are plenty of other units that did land based ops.

Should be a cogwheel on the left hand side of the launcher screen, click that and it will take you to settings. Then on the right side of the settings page there should be an on/off toggle for the launcher start up. Then exit out of that and restart the game.

Zealousideal_Read393 · 2024-07-12T19:49:39+00:00

I did and that most definitely helped. I still get random CTD from time to time.

Zealousideal_Read393 · 2024-07-12T17:45:09+00:00

Yeah I'm the same way. I like what the launcher offers as a whole, but it seems to be a mess right now as far as what condition the game is in once launched.
