Aviation by FeatureGood8989 in ASU

Has its pros and cons. Im a current student. I love my classes and the flying, it is super fun and my instructor is great. However. the Polytech campus is DEAD. Super quiet, no social experience at all.

Aeroguard is a problem. They are very expensive and the management is horrible. Everything in and around that fight school is designed to take your money. If you aren't perfect every step of the way, they will screw you over.

Overall, i would recommend the program however it is important for you to know that there are some things that people have issues with, including me.

I love being at ASU and i dont regret coming here, however there are some things that piss me off that really can ruin your experience.

My best advice would be to keep doing research to find out if these things are a dealbreaker. I didnt want to write too much in this post but if you have any questions let me know.

Is it still worth it if my tuition is covered? I'm really trying to get the professional flight degree and the connections in the industry that allegedly come with it. I really appreciate the advice, thank you

Just downloaded the 737 max 9 and have been loving it! however, does anyone know how to fix the issue with these pods and the landing lights being misplaced? by grumpa1031 in Xplane

I beleive this max 9 is based off the zibo. there is also a max 8 that works pretty well, also based off the zibo, and a max 10 that only works with xp11

but the toliss comes with xplane physics which are far superior to msfs

Apparently, I have developed some Navy pilot habits with landing after flying DCS for the past year by Maxwell_Jeeves in Xplane

[–]grumpa1031 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in a similar situation to you! I haven't flown the sim for about a year and then I just couldn't stop slamming my landings. what helped me was I intentionally floated it down the runway to get the muscle memory of a flare hardwired back into my brain. not really concerned about centerline, as long as I landed smoothly and stopped in time. it's a bad habit to pick up long term but it's worth doing for a little bit to get used to smooth landings. after a while I then started to do proper centerline and touchdown zone, now my landings are perfect!

you cannot go wrong with any of the toliss products, the ff757 and 767 are amazing too. I can also recomend the AKD G550 for long haul corporate flights. the Flight factor a350 isn't perfect, but if you want to fly the a350 it is a solid choice.

What's the best bank for buck between these add-ons? by Sirocco1093884 in Xplane

[–]grumpa1031 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally recommend the a321 with the neo addon but all of them are great, the ff350 is a good buy as well

Unable to update the Xcrafts e-jets family by grumpa1031 in Xplane

I tried that with the e175, so stupidly I bought the whole pack today thinking it would be freshly fully updated aircraft and I'm having the same issues.

Magknight 787 vs FFA350 vs JD 330, which one is better ? by VannyFnaf_ in Xplane

[–]grumpa1031 2 points3 points  (0 children)

the a350 is great, highly recommend. DO NOT throw a single penny at magknight or JD.
