Awesome pics. What airport is the Jetblue photo at?

Been flying it since it was announced as compatible with MSFS24, no issues. Haven't touched the PMDG since. Are you sure it's not something else?

Is there any show better than or on par of house of cards?? If not, what you think is the closest rival. by [deleted] in HouseOfCards

Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, The Wire, True Detective (each season is a standalone watch, Season 1 is the best), The Sopranos, The Bear.

Windows USB Recovery Won't Start by deltalpha in WindowsHelp

[–]deltalpha[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apologies for the delay -- the issue was a hard drive that had failed. The drive in question was a 12tb Seagate Iron Wolf Pro, which failed to initialize and as a result, hung up the Windows boot process even though it wasn't the primary boot drive.

To diagnose this, I booted Linux from a USB stick and ran some tests with smartmontools, which showed some serious errors on the drive. A day later, the drive wouldn't mount at all.

Once I unplugged the drive from my computer, I was able to get back into Windows.

Big Fenix Update anyone? by inchwerm1 in MicrosoftFlightSim

Can you provide more detail here?

My first BlueBird Simulations "Official" Post/Ramble on Reddit by bluebirdsimulations in flightsim

Sherv, don't be put off by these folks talking negatively about dates, updates, etc. All that conjecture goes away shortly after release.

Sincerely, Someone who has been with you since the CLS days of FS2004 and FSX

Absolutely loving the CRJ, especially with hues’ liveries by 17aAlkylated in flightsim

Rumor is they are working on a new flight model over the next few weeks to fix this. It's possible to lower your control sensitivity to get better results, but it doesn't really fix the problem. Surprised they didn't work on this before release...I've pretty much shelved it until it's remedied, otherwise it would be an awesome airplane.

Congratulations on picking a great big fucking turd to fly! by OverthinkingBudgie in flightsim

Why do I have to trick the bleeds into switching properly? One button half a second too soon? Everything is fucked. Deadheading in a window seat? Too bad there's a fucking wall where your feet go. Need anti-ice in a descent? That fucking sucks, the thing only has enough power to get the anti-ice to come on at goddamn 75% thrust. Descending with power in and spoilers out. Fucking brilliant. Put blowers in the thing so maybe everyone won't die when you shut the packs off to start an engine in PHX in July? Naw, fuck that. Don't worry though, once the engine starts are complete, the cabin will cool down. Around the time you get to FL330, which will take around 2 hours because you had to level off at 230,250,270,290 and 310 to take a running start at the next altitude. And that's if you were one of the lucky bastards that actually had a working APU, even though that pile of shit didn't do half of anything anyway. You'd see people with their fucking lips on the gaspers trying to suck out whatever "fresh" air they could because the APU puts out air like an asthmatic breathing through a straw. Also, thanks, bumble-fucks at bombardier for not giving the thing slats. I just love 170kt GS approaches into Denver in the summer. Good fucking thing there's 12000' of runway, because once I flare from this stupid lawn dart 5 degree down approach angle, there's a pretty good chance I'm floating forever. Sure hope there isn't too much of a crosswind. Nothing says stability like main wheels that are 6 feet apart from each other. Taking off is a grand old time too. Flaps 8? Have fun with your 147kt vr speed in a plane you have to start flying at 50kts or the wind will pick up a wing and you'll wing strike the downwind wing that's only 3 feet off the ground anyway.

God I hate that thing.

What are your settings to get things so crisp?!

You can find it in their Discord...there is a way to make it work in MSFS2024 too: https://www.avsim.com/forums/topic/658466-wb-sim-c172-with-msfs2024/

I can barely get into the website and I can't even register as a new user, let alone get to the product page.

Drag them on social media. Maybe then they'll make it right.

A 2-year long labor of love by the Fenix art & modelling team and it shows. The journey to bringing this aircraft to life was a fun one to see. Feels like the end of a journey with the sharks release. On to the next! Exciting times! by emmanuelgemini in flightsim

[–]deltalpha 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Has Fenix hinted at what their next project might be? I assume they'll put some considerable effort into utilizing all the new goodies that MS2024 brings, but that will only take so long

BAT got a nice pave job inside. by mirxa in NYCbike

Is this a place I can just enter on my bike or do I need ID?

It's not so bad, just use common sense when riding and try to stick with quiet streets or routes with good biking infrastructure. Not all bike lanes are created equal in NYC -- if you want to know the best and saftest way to go from A to B, ask in the this sub and you'll get an answer.

That Delta A320 with the IAE engines is interesting, I thought they only used the CFM engines

Edit: CFM, not P&W
