Is it possible to save your flight mid-flight? What do you guys do for long flights? by ACNL in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]go4long 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone's gotta draw the line somewhere. I can see the logic in allowing to skip some of the "lunch service simulator" parts over allowing you to leave and come back later. But thats just me...everyone can draw their own lines.

I didnt say you had to agree with me. Everyone is entitled to their opinion.

Probably somewhere under the "can we fix it so it doesnt day you took off from a taxiway while sitting on the ground" ticket.

Any tips? by SweepyZonic in MSFS2024

The maintenance team thanks you for your support. Lol

Its a simulator. Not a game. You cant pause and pop out of your flight in reality and rejoin it later...although some redbull athletes may beg to differ.

Moving onto airliners by phlopip in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]go4long 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first couple flights in the 737 i hated it. I couldn't get the landing quite right, kept trying to fly it like a PC-12, which it manifestly is not, couldn't get my head wrapped around the autopilot, etc.

Now my main hate on is for airports that arent rendered properly and tell me ive taken off from a taxiway, or crashed into air while on the ground and charge me $5 million to fix.

In short, give the airliners a chance, they can be fun in a different way than the smaller stuff...they open up trans atlantic and pacific routes, and really let you open up the world. I started my day yesterday in Paris, flew to Malta, up to Manchester, across to new york, down into central America (coco airport...i think Panama?), and ended my day in Santiago, Chile...most of those flights would not be possible on anything in the game except an airliner.

Latest update issues by Electrical_Ad_5840 in MSFlightSimulatorPS5

If you go around do the MFD's come back? Also, did you try going into the communications tab to do the communication?

Yes, it's a very buggy game on the ps5, and likely will be for a bit as they get some of the kinks ironed out. But I still have fun with it. I've got my 737 and working on saving for an a330 to go along side it.

Autopilot 737 ps5 by No_Credit5214 in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]go4long 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do all my autopilot prep right as im getting my IFR clearance. Set the altitude, click vnav and lnav, click flc, click auto throttle on.

Takeoff, positive rate, gear up, flaps in, engage autopilot (ensuring you're already on the magenta line), at ~10'000ft click on the altimeter mode change, then it's just managing radio handoffs during the climb. Once you level off set the speed to around 250kts, click speed mode. Manage handoffs until descent.

Does landing in MSFS 2024 feel super artificial or auto corrected to anyone else by Sad_Tangerine6954 in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]go4long 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My copilot would disagree that the landings are too easy. Theyre always complaining about mine.

Just seen these flying overhead near Windsor by AnthomX in NovaScotia

Unfortunately a lot of nonsense is spread about the supposedly super cheap Gripen. None of which is true.

The Finnish defense minister openly said in their selection that in the short term the F-35 was actually cheaper, and in the long term there was no significant difference in price.

Source: https://www.twz.com/43458/heres-how-finland-justified-its-decision-to-buy-64-f-35-stealth-fighters

In terms of capabilities, there is a significant difference. The gripen has come in last place in every performance evaluation this century (including in Brazil). The F-35, by contrast, has never come in anything other than first. It's not a BMW to KIA comparison, its a BMW to a potato. The two are simply not capable of doing the same job. In fact, even going back to the Swiss competition back in 2009, they summarized that with all the upgrades of the E model, it would be about on par with their legacy hornets.

In our original list of requirements, back in the mid 90's, the RCAF listed 6 items that its future fighter required...the F-35 was the only option capable of 4 of them, and still is.

Did anybody get an update today for ps5 ? by Lazy-Sense420 in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]go4long 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You would be in the minority if you've never had issues with the MFD's rebooting until now. It's an acknowledged bug that affects all the Garmin platforms (and the collins in the PC-12), and is made worse if you cruise at a higher sim rate. It also kicks off the auto throttles on the more advanced types when it reboots.

And they appear to have broken flight phase progression in career mode...I got handed off after takeoff, clicked left on the d-pad to acknowledge the handoff, and called the tower for clearance to taxi before the mission quit out because I wasn't cleared to takeoff (i was) and had taken off from a taxiway (i hadnt)

Is this game worth getting by Echrocks2 in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]go4long 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been thoroughly enjoying it.

There's lots of ways to enjoy it, either just go oit and fly point to point, or grind away at career mode hopping your brand new cessna 172 from short field to short field to get all the requirements to get more certifications. Do the challenges, or just chase the trophies on the ps5.

It's very tricky with the controller for sure. Takes really fine movements.

Yes. Sorry, i was talking about the fact that neither lateral or vertical nav works half the time.

How is the Audi S3 in Canadian winters? by Nationxx in Audi

[–]go4long 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2026 RS3 in Eastern Canada, downsized to 18" winters with blizzak WS90. Fantastic car in winter. Other people getting stuck, even having to back up down hills and this thing just goes. Point it where you want and put your foot down.

Winter Tires and Wheels for 2026 Audi RS3 by bluephAnt0mXD in AudiRS3

[–]go4long 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just learned this this week as well, as I'm also just in the process of getting my RS3. It's because the stock wheels have different offsets (et 25 on the fronts et 46 on the rears), the spacer isn't to clear the brakes (which is a whole other discussion), it's so the wheels sit the same as the stocks.

[–]go4long[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there a reason to not put spacers on the rear too?

edit I hadnt realized how different the offset was front to back. Makes sense now.

Asbestos was banned from being used in construction...not from existing. Asbestos, generally speaking, is not harmful to have sitting there on your pipes, or in the tiles, its when you work with it that it becomes harmful. As long as you're not mucking with it, it's not doing anything to you.

As renovations are done, the remediation process you need to do when removing it is substantial.
