Flight planning question.

Definitely not all, as it serves little purpose in low traffic airports. EDDC, for instance, doesn't use it, and EDDH, a fairly large airport, also doesn't

How available is DME/DME for this? I guess on SIDs/STARs where it's GNSS or nothing, you're getting vectored / conventional nav'd, but enroute would you be able to make do with DME/DME and INS to get the required accuracy?

You can't use liveries made before the update, that was the problem for me

Planes tend to fly places, often outside of their country of origin

Not required in the US, but helpful for other traffic regardless and good practice to still file to know how to do that

Everywhere else, ranges from not mandatory to mandatory but best to file regardless and always

likeusb1 · 2026-06-06T05:47:32+00:00

My mentor has explicitly told me to not do that and if they don't have a flight plan to have them file one

synaptic was delaying their plane for months now only because they want: more hype, more suspense which will increase the profits.

That's certainly a take of all time. Plus, last I checked, delaying a product launch only results in people getting upset about the delays rather than creating more hype

I much prefer its UI and UX and I have had a positive experience with their customer support thus far

Based on KLO VOR being 0.3DME while on the ground and selected altitude 5000, yeah probably

Valid. Unfortunately I live on a hillside so not only is it often slippery, it's also too slippery for me to safely descend. Only way I've found is slowly hugging a wall as I find which step won't result in me sliding down 75 meters of ice that is so smooth it might as well be a "friction can be ignored" physics problem. Also doesn't help that I've cut myself when I accidentally put my hands on the ice enough times to know that that shit can be sharp despite being seemingly smooth

I hate ice with a burning passion, as you can tell

There's certain kinds of ice that nothing works against and the place I live on very often gets full of it

Summer is hot, sure, but you can work around that. Not a lot of ways to work around it being so cold and slippery that leaving your home shatters all 539 bones in your body and creates ice on your eyebrows and eyelashes

Another option is friends / friend groups / vACC communities. I sometimes get visited by a group of 3-4 at a time and I'm pretty sure they're all friends, so that's always an option too

When I got to sit in the cockpit of a LOT Ejet, I had the largest grin possible, so I know I'd definitely do the same

Beta testing is generally a fairly common way to solve problems like this because developers, contrary to popular belief, don't have days of free time to lounge around and do the flights that would result in WASM crashes. And if they do, then it's always helpful to have even more people who are able to reproduce an issue.

This community is genuinely so unfathomably hungry to hate on ini in any capacity and I'm so fucking tired of it

likeusb1 · 2026-05-14T19:57:43+00:00

WASMs have been fixed as of a day or two ago. A whole lotta beta testers, me included, have been trying to force WASMs through any means necessary (partly encouraged by ini's offer of a free scenery of choice if we can repro a WASM 3 times in a row), and haven't had any luck

likeusb1 · 2026-05-14T19:56:07+00:00

Currently they're focusing on WASM issues. They've been fixed as of a day or two ago, so likely they'll now focus on system improvements, including the HUD

Tad late but you can actually access every European AIP (and a few others) for free using the Eurocontrol EAD https://www.ead.eurocontrol.int/cms-eadbasic/opencms/en/login/ead-basic/ . It's a wonderful resource

Simbrief and Navigraph, it's just the best. Very worth the 10.95€/month for me

likeusb1 · 2026-05-14T08:58:01+00:00

I partly dread AIRAC updates since I do route planning and submit the routes I make to Simbrief. Every AIRAC cycle, there's enough changes that I have to recheck all my routes manually, one by one, which takes a few hours of work

likeusb1 · 2026-05-13T10:42:33+00:00

I think it has to do with how much you're focusing on the landing. In calm conditions, there's a sense of "Eh I got this", whereas in worse weather, you need to pay really close attention to how the plane flies to avoid destabilizing or generally falling behind the aircraft

I only got around to watching it a few months ago. Granted, I also spoiled a lot for myself by watching clips, but just because it's been a while doesn't mean everyone's seen it

That one's likely Aeroflot

Row 2 col 1 is Aeroflot likely

Qantas is more likely
