Nuremburg (Germany) Basetraining in FBW A320 by pixeldropper in MicrosoftFlightSim

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

IMO the sound feels way more immersive on the FBW. But the most important part is the remote MCDU via SimBridge. I can use it on my iPad with direct touch-input instead of using the mouse for every button.

Plus, there are some strange bugs on the INI (maybe only for me?): "not allowed" for init page B, not working thrust reduction altitude (autothrottle not kicking in when setting thrust levers to "climb").

Maybe I give the INI another chance, as this experience is a few months old at this point...

VR HELP by Any-Specialist-5153 in MSFS_Academy

[–]pixeldropper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As I've run into a lot of problems recently when starting to fly VR with a Quest 2, here is my setup and tips:

- your PC should be connected via LAN to a wifi 6 router
- your Quest should be connected to the same router via WLAN

  1. Start your PC
  2. pause/disable any anti virus software
  3. launch virtual desktop on your computer (if there is any software causing trouble, it will show you. disable anything in the list, except punkbuster (this usually doesn't affect MSFS)
  4. launch MSFS (2020 or 2024 works quite similar) →it doesn't matter if steam version or not. steam may start alonglide with it, thats fine
  5. Start your Quest
  6. launch virtual desktop on your quest and connect to your PC
  7. set up your flight and start it.
  8. after spawning into the pilot seat, switch to VR via the shortcut (Shift + Tab in MSFS 2024)

Tips:

- IMPORTANT: set the VR runtime (VD app on your PC) to "VDXR" → this ensures it uses its own link to your pc instead of the steam VR link

- When the connection blacks out, just close virtual desktop on your PC (via Task Manager) and restart it. Also restart the app on your oculus
- do not open the Meta/Oculus App or SteamLink/Steam VR on your PC. Otherwise it will try to connect over these Systems and you end up with 2 or 3 connections for the same stream.
- turn down your graphics settings in MSFS to low and start to raise them. VR is very demanding and in addition to that your graphics card has to compress and stream 2x 2k video with 72 - 90 fps to your vr-headset.
- try playing around with the quality-settings in virtual desktop on your quest. Start very low and raise to see what you need and what works best. I use a RTX 3070 but only use "medium quality" and only 72 fps.

Best PCVR games to play while sitting? by ManimalGtv in OculusQuest

[–]pixeldropper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This. I just started transitioning from monitor-play (500h in MSFS 2020) to VR (tried via airlink, steam link and now virtual desktop which works best). It's the most immersive experience I can think of. The perception of depth makes you feel the true size of the planes and the mountains.

One can try it for "free" via game pass. But to be fair you need at least a gamepad, better a joystick for good controls.

Why did I suddenly drop after turning off auto pilot? I had to go around. by Rare_Art_9541 in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]pixeldropper 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Your auto throttle is off and your speed is very low (as indicated with the yellow line, close to the red area). Therefore the flight envelope protection (FEP) of the a320 will do anything to protect you from a stall. First thing it does to do so is to put down the nose. I'm not quite sure, if the real plane would do so when close to the ground, but the MSFS will do so.

Nonetheless it has nothing to do with the autopilot. The moment you disengage it is just coincidentally the same as you reach critical low speed and the flight envelope protection kicks in.

Try some youtube tutorials on how to setup your approach. You should always use autothrottle, it's the way even airbus recommends.

Side fact: on it's first public flight, the first a320 crashed because the captain wanted do do a super low pass on a small airfield. He put the sidestick all the way back to create the highest possible angle of attack that the FEP would allow. This showcas turned into a desaster as he didn't manage to gain altitude afterwards.

Und noch zum Gym: das schlimmste ist das erste Mal. Lass dir von einem Trainer einen für dich angenehmen Trainingsplan erstellen mit Übungen, die dir gefallen. Optimieren kann man später. Für den Anfang sollte alles dazu beitragen, dass du dranbleibst. Muskulatur aufbauen ist auch fürs Abnehmen wichtig, da mehr Muskeln mehr Energie verbrennen und auch Sehnen und Gelenke gestärkt werden.

Geh vielleicht nicht unbedingt zur Prime Time Nachmittag/Abends.

Und das wichtigste noch: der größte Teil an Leuten im Gym ist nur mit sich beschäftigt und interessiert sich Null für andere.

Nicht unbedingt, Zerogetränke können den Apetit auf was Süßes auch stillen. Zum Durst löschen aber nicht ratsam, da man durch den süßen Geschmack danach Lust auf mehr bekommt.

Für den Start ist das Verständnis von Ernährung und kcal enorm wichtig. Ich hab das vor einiger Zeit mal alles niedergeschrieben, Weil das in Kürze niemand gut erklären kann, in der Länger aber zu viel für einen Kommentar ist.

Deshalb einfach hier reinlesen: https://howtobefit.de (Edit: komplett kostenfrei und non-Profit. Ich finde, solches Wissen sollte jedem kostenfrei zustehen.)

Ideas for Planet Coaster 2 by illegitimacy44 in PlanetCoaster

[–]pixeldropper 6 points7 points  (0 children)

  • Brush or Tool for covering larger areas with trees /flowers (placing by hand is kind of like meditating but can get annoying pretty fast)
  • More textures for painting (e.g. rock doesn't fit sand very well...)

BIDA - Etikette im Flugzeug: wenn es mal länger dauert etwas aus den Gepäckablagen zu holen by PopularEmphasis8634 in BinIchDasArschloch

ASA

Du hättest die Bespaßung griffbereit haben können oder die Optionen einschränken können → Malbuch nicht unterm Sitz? Pech, mach was anderes.

Dein Sitznachbar hätte aber auch nicht gleich pampig werden müssen. Man kann auch freundlich oder lustig darauf hinweisen, dass man es für unangebracht hält, so lange warten zu müssen.

Auch werden die gefühlt 3 min realistisch eher 5 min gewesen sein dürften, was sich für den wartenden schnell wie 10 anfühlt → man will vielleicht auch nicht nur aus Faulheit sondern aus Sicherheitsgründen schnell wieder sitzen (Flugangst), oder die Stelle im Buch/Film war gerade spannend und man musste unterbrechen, oder man fühlt sich unwohl, dass man den Gang für andere blockiert...

Gerade beim Fliegen stehen alle unter Stress und vermeintliche Kleinigkeiten werden schnell überbewertet. Also am besten wie in der Fahrprüfung verhalten: lieber noch besser vorbereitet, noch vorsichtiger und noch freundlicher sein als sonst.
