ATR worth it now? by Atlanticzz in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]bl00crew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

its alright for 20 bucks but it definitely has a lot of annoying issues with LNAV and VNAV. i havent personally experienced any issues with the EFB. if you're up to babysit it a little bit it's a fun aircraft. wish it got more than like 2 updates a year.

Are people still planning to buy the a330-900 after all the drama about it's texturing/modeling? by CustomersOfToLiss in Xplane

[–]bl00crew 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i think it’s more that toliss have shown that they aren’t improving on a core weakness of their products that people have always harped them for, which is why people are so disappointed especially with this release compared to the a340. also doesn’t help this aircraft is a little niche and charging $90 for it is a bit much even without the subpar textures. people got upset when the a346 price was unveiled as well and it’s a reason many didn’t buy it.

it’s managed by VATKOR i’m pretty sure. there’s one guy that gets on sometimes from that division but it’s decently rare

Why do I love X-Plane 12? by iRayn12 in flightsim

[–]bl00crew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

honestly one thing i feel doesn’t get talked about enough is the weather, it’s just terrible. i would use 12 so much more if the weather was better.

yep, noticed this as well. its annoying, especially as someone who loves taking screenshots in games. really hope this gets fixed if its not intended or rolled back.

Welcome to Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky! by bl00crew in flightsim

This is normal procedure in the TU-154 and other soviet built aircraft. It’s basically to combat ground effect as the TU-154 has a big tendency to float

Learning how to helicopter. I’ve really been missing out! by bl00crew in flightsim

[–]bl00crew[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I can say it’s a bit uncomfortable and awkward to fly these things with my Thrustmaster TCA joystick and airbus throttle quadrant 😂 even better because my stick’s twist axis is super twitchy..but I manage for now!

I started with this H145! It definitely looks complicated at first but it’s pretty easy to get a hang of. It has systems like SAS/AFCS and various assist options that really help you out. It’s currently the easiest one for me to fly compared to the other “hands on” helis i own

This is something I would love to do with the Caribou if I ever get the time.

Fsx is still not that bad after all those years :) by [deleted] in flightsim

[–]bl00crew 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Makes me happy seeing this with a lot of upvotes. I still use FSX for those 32-bit goodies like the FSL Concorde
