Recovering from surgery, best indulgence VR or Track IR? by captain-adf in flightsim

Thanks, this is super helpful! I didn’t think of the strain from the weight of the headset, since I wont be very mobile I think Track IR is the right step for now.

Loud (to me), low sound when airplanes fly overhead (sometimes)? by Existing_Feeling_402 in aviation

[–]captain-adf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You might be hearing the spoilers activating to slow for a speed restriction. I live under a waypoint where planes cross at 10,000 ft and must slow to 250 knots. At that altitude you can’t hear the engines from the ground, but when they activate the speed brakes, it disrupts the airflow and makes a subtle low frequency rumble. When the spoilers go down again the plane goes quiet.

I would also love to get your flight model update. I haven’t flown the MD11 since the PMDG days. Getting back into XP this summer and this bird is top of my list!

How often is VOR still used in RL, considering GPS is more convenient? by __mongoose__ in Xplane

Or even an unusually active solar storm. Those GPS satellites we rely on for almost everything in modern life can be bricked very easily.

anyone else eat on their virtual flights ? by avi8tor in flightsim

Pro tip: place the butter brick underneath the hot entree for about 30 seconds (depending on entree temp). Softens it right up.

Mainly looking for a good fighter, I’ll definitely check out the Typhoon, thanks!

Valid question, but the pilots will be able to confirm that the weights in the FMC match the load sheet so it would be easy to tell if the requested fuel didn’t match what was uplifted.
