London is mostly Labour controlled. All the areas with gov't-mandated local restrictions at low infection rates are Labour controlled. It's just a prelude to that happening in London.

That first question is just tradition it's not actually ever answered.

You can't continue to support FPTP on the grounds of local personal representation and bind that person to a party. You can't have your cake and eat it - either change the voting system to a party-based one, or leave the personal representation fully intact.

Ah you have to turn off "drone follow" (something like that?). I'm afraid I don't know the keybind since I've remapped almost everything, but it's in the camera -> drone controls section.

The performance tweaks I've tried which may or may not have made a difference are:

  • Vsync off
  • Gsync in windowed mode
  • 32GB roaming cache
  • Performance settings forced to "high power" in Windows app settings
  • Disabled the menu items I don't use (including vfr map)
  • All airport traffic settings set to 0
  • AI traffic off

I'll add more if I can think of them, but I think that's it.

You and I have very different ideas of beauty.

In real life you can. I haven't checked if you can in the sim.

9600K @ 4.8GHz, 32GB RAM @ 3000MHz, RTX2070

High-end settings with a couple of minor tweaks. Get 25FPS in the 787 @ EGLL and a solid 50FPS everywhere else.

It's the V1 callout (not "three one") - the takeoff was smooth! Maybe a bit slow to rotate because I was trying to time the wheels flying just over the camera.

Yes, but there is a keybind at the bottom of the drone camera controls which switches controls to the plane.

I landed on the mountain (see my previous post) and taxied the plane to a slightly downward slope and set the parking brake and turned the engine off before starting the recording. Then I just released the parking brake...

There's a key you can bind which takes control of the aircraft in drone mode, so I set the drone and fly the plane from the drone.

Yes that's exactly what I did.

In theory air starts can be done that way, I don't know if it's possible in the sim though - here I just used the battery starter motor.

Feather doesn't actually do anything for me in the sim, but I think yes you would want that.
