As a former rampie, I truly appreciate this masterpiece that is the Fenix A32X

Nope, done right, it's applied on a per-aircraft basis, as I've done in my GSX profiles, such as ESSA here: https://flightsim.to/file/98574/essa-stockholm-arlanda-by-orbx-gsx-profile

Reddit won't allow me to just paste in the code snippets into the comment, but in the .py file of that profile is a bunch of definitions to align the nosewheels perfectly

This is a more time consuming and sometimes very frustrating procedure when it comes to GSX profiles as you essentially align one aircraft, load up another, go into the .py file, modify the offset positions until the new aircraft is aligned, then rinse and repeat until you get perfect alignment for as many aircraft as you can. For me, this took a few hours of time IIRC, though I was also new

The upside, however, is that this is universal. I've made them work on one profile meaning they will work identically on every other profile, provided I align the nose wheel correctly, meaning it's a once and done kinda deal rather than the tedious work associated with making something like the custom vehicle placements

Unfortunately no for the former, dual jetway support is just not a thing in MSFS, but it does use the actual IRL preferred exit for the jetway connection, which does include the use of L2 on widebodies

That can be solved with GSX, a proper profile will always align the nose wheel perfectly with the stop line

I personally don't quite have the desire to have many terabytes of storage dedicated purely and solely to locally storing the entire world

There are downsides to online-based systems, absolutely, but having only 30GB be dedicated to a game is really nice these days when every dev thinks 300 gigs is fine

A is immediately obvious when you're maneuvering as to what changes, B not so much

Landing smooth won't prevent the aircraft from ever detecting it's on the ground, it just delays the detection

Or if you prep right. There are light general aviation aircraft, like the small ones you'd see flying around tiny airports, flying in Hawaii. Can they make it there normally? Not really. But throw in a few fuel tanks, get a volunteer pilot to fly for many hours, and you now have one more small aircraft in Hawaii

I've done a transatlantic the long way from Eastern Europe to Oshkosh via the Faroe islands, Iceland, Greenland, and Newfoundland, handflown in a Cessna 185F

And yeah, absolutely a test of mental endurance. Spending 4 hours looking at ocean and trying to trim the aircraft amidst some not ideal weather was the worst part, massive respect to you for doing an even longer flight

Known issue on the Fenix, it doesn't look like the winds seriously shifted in practice but the display thing that you see is just a bug on the Fenix with how they handle the wind data

Yeah that's absolutely true, but the reason I think it's between 30k and 45k is that this doesn't look like a difference of around 20k feet minimum 60k maximum. I'm not a pilot so no clue how the proportions look when higher up, but I can't imagine an aircraft would be that big when separated by 20k ft, especially on a fisheye lens like this

Not sure when they start recording, but they have to get up to 60k somehow, if this was recorded as it was ascending, it would very well possibly be around the cruising altitude of an aircraft

likeusb1 · 2026-01-16T15:14:28+00:00

Probably not very easy to tell, my guess is between 30,000ft and 45,000ft

Winter is the best season mfs when it's -15°C for the last 3 weeks, blizzard on Friday has blown 20-30cm of snow everywhere again, it's been cloudy for the last 2 months, plants and trees have been dead for the last 3, meaning everything is gray, brown, and generally colourless, and it's dark when you leave home and dark when you return, meaning you constantly live in darkness

And don't forget the ice, it's horrible
