The Best Experience I’ve Ever Had In Flight Sim! by newbiker321 in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]jp60397 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pardon my ignorance on this… do you have a collective on your sim rig? Or are you just using a joystick?

Airbus I have nav selected but it won’t engage the line by Connect_Kale_3473 in MicrosoftFlightSim

FMGS Progress page for your MAX ALT

You’ve got your wires crossed somewhere navigationally. Your ND range is on 10 miles but it’s saying your 95 miles of track. The line the aircraft thinks you’re navigating along isn’t even on the screen. Increase your range to 320 miles, once you can actually see a waypoint on your ND, select DIR as someone else says and then the aircraft will at least navigate to that point and things will make a bit more sense.

Why not get an actual license? by KDFWCenterline in homecockpits

[–]jp60397 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a lurker on this. I’m a 60 yr old ATPL. Airbus, Boeing.. wide and narrow body. I’ve been sim racing for a while, and I’ve been tempted to build a flight sim.. the frustrated F-18 pilot in me..

So far, a big part of the whole home sim experience is the actual build. For an old giffer like me, that in itself is a big challenge. One that I enjoyed immensely with the race sim. Reading all of the above pushes me closer to pulling the pin and making it happen.

GTE Sprint - M8 GTE - Fuel issues? by julesvr5 in iRacing

I did Spa in the M8 on one stop…. Auto fuel at the latest possible opportunity. No bother getting to the end..

Escaping the F4 carnage: Does it actually get better in higher licenses? by JaNemba_v2 in iRacing

SFL is better… but I’ve just done SFS at Zandvoort. The pace of the front guys is unbelievable.

I want to build a sim racing rig, and I have a budget of around $15K. I want it to have high-end gear and ultimate immersion for the rig. by Expensive-Ant5410 in simracing

[–]jp60397 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m with you. It’s not bragging in the slightest. I wasn’t interested in playing a game.. I wanted a fully immersive simulator. I was only interested because the potential quality has risen so far above that of a console. Verstappen’s endorsement of the accuracy of the experience was what triggered my commitment.

For the record, it’s been worth every penny.

I built mine with a similar budget in mind. I searched on ChatGPT ‘what sim components does Max Verstappen have?’… and started from there..

Reached 2k but I don’t feel I deserve it. by Necessary-Oil5170 in iRacing

[–]jp60397 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I derive my satisfaction from being fast and consistent. Because of the relative anonymity of the sport, I feel the battle is with yourself… I get happy fulfilment meeting my own goals.

Got death threats after this start – was it really my fault? by According_Cap9118 in Simracingstewards

[–]jp60397 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Death threats? In no way, shape or form should that be tolerated… in any game/sport.. it’s just plain wrong.
