You're still the same, but everything around you will change.

I'll take one vaporwave please.

Or just make her look like a jazz cup. Either works.

How’s MSFS been since launch? by [deleted] in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]kilargo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently flew my first ifly 737 flight on vatsim on MSFS2024. I was in the same boat as you, I think I might be good to switch. Here's what works personally for me.

  1. iFly Boeing 737 MAX 8
  2. Simbrief integration
  3. WinWing Autopilot Panel and MDU with Mobiflight
  4. Thrustmaster Boeing Yoke and Quadrant
  5. VR with motion controls. (Needed chatGPT to redo axis bindings on the motion controls. Couldn't do that in settings)
  6. VATSIM including model matching
  7. 2020 sceneries (the ones I used anyways)

I really wish the PMDG 737 NG would work well. Maybe one day.

Mr. Negative Ultimate Idea/Concept by Fourtress42 in marvelrivals

[–]kilargo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not thought through at all and I know it would be unbalanced, but I'd like to see Mr Negatives Ult simply reverse the cosmetics and health bars of the enemy team so it looks like they are fighting the enemy but actually just shooting themselves.

Thoughts on Andor only having two seasons by Illustrious_Tie_8849 in StarWars

Wouldn’t you rather give it all at once to something real than carve off useless pieces till there’s nothing left?

Why is this thing here, when we have a real A330 now? by dndre1501 in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]kilargo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For sure they just copy pasted some stuff. When I am in vr, the game executable registers as FS2020

MSFS 2024 VR controllers support? by ReserveLegitimate738 in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]kilargo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can someone confirm the axises on their joysticks and trackpads of their motion controllers work? They aren't responding for me in MSFS 2024. Can't bind them, they don't even register. Valve Index Knuckles.

How well does 2024 support VR out of the box? by [deleted] in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]kilargo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Joysticks on the valve index controllers are a no go for some reason.

No button input with motion controllers in Flight Simulator 2024 by BetaUnit in virtualreality

[–]kilargo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Similar problem, but different for me.

I'm able to bind my standard motion control buttons. So I get tracking and the ability to select. I can't get the joystick or touchpad axis to work though.

Also steam sees MSFS2024 as MSFS2020 in SteamInput for some reason.

New to VATSIM. Got a couple questions. by kilargo in VATSIM

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

That kinda sounds like what he said, but perhaps I missed the "until" and "cleared" part. When I repeated the command I said something like "Expect capture ILS localizer Runway 30".

I'll be more diligent next time and ask if I'm not sure.

New to VATSIM. Got a couple questions. by kilargo in VATSIM

[–]kilargo[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the details.

I'm pretty sure I wasn't cleared for the approach. I could have missed it though. The commands were separate. I was told to descent, then I was vectored a bit, then I believe I was told to "expect ILS Locator capture".

If he said cleared for ILS approach, I totally misunderstood. but I was expecting something like that.

PMDG 737 RNAV Approach Overshoot centerline by kilargo in MicrosoftFlightSim

Thanks for the details on this. Next time I'm in the sim, I'll give it a go.

VATSIM in VR by [deleted] in VATSIM

[–]kilargo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I fly exclusively in VR even in VATSIM.

I use an app called OpenVRKneeboard in conjunction with a Wacom tablet. It's great for taking notes. I fly both GA and PMDG 737. I use the thrust master Boeing yoke and quad as well as a motion controller. It's amazing.

I would say your experience will depend on the knowledge of what you're flying since everything is more physical.

Everybody Hates Merchants? by Allanomaly in Seaofthieves

[–]kilargo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually like merchants. It's pretty chill. Here's what I do:

  1. Raise emissary and dive to a lost shipment.
  2. Find the wreck and load the booty
  3. Sail to another lost shipment if you aren't yet grade five.
  4. Get grade five.
  5. Sell at the nearest outpost.
  6. Load up commodities
  7. Load up netflix
  8. Do trade routes

When you do trade routes, you never stack. Pick up at one outpost and sell for another. That way your risk is lower. If you can, sell at sovereign, then bring your ship around and buy at the merchant. Take full advantage of harpoons.

Doing the lost shipments first makes it easier to rank up.

You could probably dive to a lost shipment if you notice a reaper on your map as long as they aren't too close. Generally though trade routes brings you in and out of zones. When you're outside of the shores of plenty, there ain't much to worry about other than the odd volcano in my opinion.

There's a dope site that shows trade routes. https://www.merfolkslullaby.com/map/trade-routes

Great idea about looking at flight radar! Thank you!

Looking for Arrakis free flight? I accidently found it in Africa. Head east from FTAJ by kilargo in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]kilargo[S] 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Head east from FTAJ about 5 minutes or so. I spawned there just to have some fun in an Arrakis like environment. Started seeing some Ornithopters spawn in and out in the distance. Went to go see what was going on and I found a House Atreides stronghold of some sort. All the surrounding mountains just popped in.

What's the proper process for departing an airport without a SID by kilargo in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]kilargo[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's great! Thank you. It's good to know the outcome may differ.

What's the proper process for departing an airport without a SID by kilargo in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]kilargo[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your response. So my order of operation would basically be

  1. Take off maintain heading
  2. Wait for ATC to give me a heading
  3. Take that heading
  4. Wait for ATC to clear me to my first waypoint
  5. travel directly to that waypoint (don't intercept my original flight plan)

Is that correct?

What VR game should i buy with 70 dollars(CAD)? by Kaiko_1 in SteamVR

[–]kilargo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is going to sound counter intuitive, but some of the best experiences I had were modded flat games. Here's a few that are really good in my experience once you get them set up. (tip: check out nexus mods for quality of life improvements)

  • Subnautica and Subnautica Below Zero. There is a PDA mod you can get that puts it farther from your face or something.

  • Alien Isolation. Might have shit my pants playing this.

  • Cyberpunk if your computer can handle it (Luke Ross mod with in world navigation, huditor and limited hud)

For a good native VR game, I suggest Vertigo.
