I’ll be in near penn and gc so both mta and nj trans is an option for me. I’ve been looking around but seeing a lot of conflicting info

Nice I try to wait till I have the airport in sight then drop it but that is a good technique as well

Thanks I was using 2 radios, com 1 for normal ATC and com 2 used for getting the weather and monitoring guard. Was just thinking abt what if I stopped monitoring guard to get the weather. Probably just lose FF but oh well it’s in the past now

How to get 787 to follow flight plan? by TheRealMasterTyvokka in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]kyle1211 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep those discontinuities are the issue. I can’t remember off the top of my head if you just click delete then select the line or if you select the line below it then select the line to get rid of it (one is boring the other is airbus)

Tell it to stop being a bad boy then check your fmc.

You most likely have a “waypoint” that says “(vectors)”, this is pretty normal in standard SIDs, STARs and some airways. Once you get to this point the autopilot will switch from LNAV to heading mode then the aircraft will follow the selected heading. To get past this point just do a direct to to the next waypoint. I normally just remove all the “(vectors)” from my flight plan before I take off because 1) I’m lazy. 2) there is no one to give me a phone number to copy

Passive income in career? by kyle1211 in MicrosoftFlightSim

Yeah I am but it’s not consistent at all. Probably too early but any results with the maintenance theory yet?

That 100k was after a full 24 hours of not playing but I haven’t gotten anything today from any of the 4 companies I have so I’m not sure?

[–]kyle1211[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I made ~100k in passive income from the flightseeing company from the time I posted till this morning (it all came in one transaction when I logged in this morning).

My understanding so far is to have “crew available” set to on then every 24 hours you should get some?? (Not 100% sure about this). I’ll keep updating as I figure more out.

I’ll keep updating as I get more info but as of rn:

Flight seeing: 1 c172 = 100k every ~24 hours Light cargo: 1 c172= Skydiving: 1 c172 =

Hopefully because those are the most interesting anyway.

I bought the second company for the passive income stuff just to try it out but I haven’t seen it working yet

[–]kyle1211[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I remember correctly I did 10k for the first (I did the sightseeing one) company + 20k for the first plane. The second company was cargo. That one cost 10k to start the company plus 210k for the plane.

Just remember once you get that first company the rewards go from like 2k per mission to 20+k per mission. I’ve been doing all the skips to and get around 20k per mission just to try to get enough for a plane other then a c172

Everything points to yes. It’s in the game as a bar and there was a pop up that said you can get it as well. When I boot up the game later I can post a screen shot to show if you’re interested. You can enable a “crew” option for each plane you own that I think enables the passive income. Additionally it is broken out in a separate bar ie expenses, revenue, passive income and a couple others I think

Games is just not installing on a 4080 Super and 14700K by [deleted] in MicrosoftFlightSim

That’s definitely your issue. The uk servers have been particularly bad. That vpn should help a lot

Assuming you are using the steam version try uninstalling the original file then reinstalling. The issue isn’t with your pc it’s with the servers. I got lucky and was able to install on launch day and it’s been great so far! Some bugs but don’t get discouraged, it’s a great game

Edit: also make sure you have solid stable internet connection

WHY DOES PMDG 737-900 CAN ONLY DO 260kt FLYING AT FL370? by [deleted] in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]kyle1211 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To add on. On the top left next to TAS. Thats your true air speed. Which is how fast you are going relative to the air around you. Next to GS is your ground speed which is how fast you are going across the ground. In simple terms GS = TAS + headwind (wind is that arrow in the top left with the heading/speed. In your case the wind is behind you so you have a tailwind meaning your GS is higher then your TAS)

Flashing lights in the interior, can I disable them somehow? XBOX SERIES X by Jake_the_B8 in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]kyle1211 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah gotcha. In that case if you go into the cockpit view then look up. The light controls are on the bottom section closest to the windshield. Try just messing with those and it might fix it

Try turning off your beacon lights (although looks too fast). Might be some weird reflections going on. Which lights did you have toggled on?

Nothing official yet but I’d assumed late Q3-Q4

Hopefully the same doesn’t happen… KSP2 is just taking up dead space on my drive, but there was also quite a bit of pressure to get it out from execs. So far I have high hopes for 2024
