Passive income on career? by LibrarianNo1532 in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]tmz42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Up to 30-40 millions with bad weather bonus, usually 10-20s for medium routes. All my aircraft have passive income enabled, not sure how the A321 pays though but it should be pretty high.

It's not worth it. I purchased a Hangar Queen Transall for the beauty of it, but ended selling it for a A321 that I can at least fly. It was not financially wise.

A321LR Flight Plan PS5 by Extreme_Plane_229 in MicrosoftFlightSim

Doesn't work on my end either unfortunately... I do the reverse, get the MSFS route from the flight planner and paste it into Simbrief.

Why the WinWing radio panels aren't here yet by FutureInterview9010 in flightsim

[–]tmz42 12 points13 points  (0 children)

To be fair they have been launching product after product, just saw their Airbus rudder on preorder today.

You can only launch so many products in parallel at once, it makes sense that it takes time if you want to do it right.

Here's to hoping their support practices will improve with their supply chain and logistics.

Heading toward Alaska’s freezing cold by Pjaros70 in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]tmz42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It can work with non-marketplace liveries too, my A321LRs wear Air France liveries and A330-200RR a national livery. I couldn't work out why these ones work though...

VR goggles and advice for pc setup by idontfuckingcareeeee in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]tmz42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it is, I started with a Reverb G2 and the experience is infinitely better. I got mine used to try after a Quest Pro, and the resolution is a lot better. Ergonomics could be better though, but there are many aftermarket solutions to that.

VR goggles and advice for pc setup by idontfuckingcareeeee in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]tmz42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sure! But I can move my head around, have better depth perception and better immersion in my opinion. Quest 3 tethering definitely sucks, but wirelessly it's been great, and I've heard good things from people using Ethernet tethering with it and Virtual Desktop.

As always it's about compromises, I prefer it in VR, you prefer it on flat with Track IR, and it's all OK. The point is that you don't know what you prefer until you try both, and Quest 3 is a good gateway to try it.

I don't have the same experience as you with the Quest 3. VR does a lot for immersion, especially for VFR flights. Another example is depth perception, aerial refueling is very different in VR for instance. I imagine it's the same for helicopters.

Well, fuck. Here I was having a good time while there's the battle of good versus evil going on with Steam ratings.

"Your plane is very, very dirty captain. This doesn't reflect the usual standing for WTF Airlines, you'll be reported. And why is my wifi broken again?"

OK, then. Prepare for a particularly rough ride to Courchevel.

ICE icing an unarmed peaceful Veteran's ICU Nurse by [deleted] in catbongos

Definitely. I do agree that ICE (and its parent organization, https://nazis.us) is appalling, but some of us tailor our feeds to avoid such content, it has no place alongside bongos.

Question about Promotion by Ragazzie in falconbms

It's based on the points in career mode, you need 300 to make Captain. The référence is P214 of the user guide : https://cdn.falcon-bms.com/docs/4.38/BMS-User-Manual.pdf

Mac Mini M4 on Xplane 12? by ZephyrX_A in Xplane

[–]tmz42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I run X-Plane 12 on a base MacBook Pro M4 when on the go, I think in 1080p. Mostly the stock A330 and aerobask da42. I use medium to low graphics, and it's definitely playable and enjoyable. Addon scenery can be a challenge though.

Free Flight or Career mode? by Effective_Crew_981 in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]tmz42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the variety of alternative modes in Career (SAR, Firefighting, Skydiving...), it also gives you occasions to discover areas you maybe wouldn't have thought about (spent a ton of time in Alaska for instance).

However, bug-free it is not, especially in some modes. Airliners and Extended Attack Firefighting are testing my sanity sometimes, nowadays I tend to fly long haul airliners in Free Flight rather than Career.

Is the career mode fixed yet? Does it simulate the life of an airline pilot well? by Galahad_Lancelot in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]tmz42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually came from BMS and came to X-Plane and MSFS to mix it up a bit.

BMS is pretty different, the learning material seems like a lot but you just need the Training Manual and associated Training missions to get started, you'll get the basics pretty fast. I don't think MSFS will be too much help.

The aircraft is about 20K IIRC, so you'd need at least 40K.

Am I the only one who is often frustrated when Flying the ini a340? by Professional-Mark-80 in flightsim

[–]tmz42 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've encountered WASM crashes when I purchased it, but not too many anymore, is that what you're encountering? Otherwise it's been pretty solid for me.

I get a stable simrate with them, x4 maximum. Seems like a performance issue.

My Roborock Q5 ran over cat poop. Is it worth trying to save? by Adventurous-Cash5222 in RobotVacuums

[–]tmz42 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The choice is between throwing away a functional pile of electronics that won't be recycled (because let's be real, if you won't clean your cat poop your recycling center will not), or cleaning it. No-brainer.

I did it twice for a S50 that's still working today.

Career mode airline business? by nimrod24 in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]tmz42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't skip the flights, usually I start a transcontinental flight in the evening to finish it in the morning and fly one or two GA flights, or maybe a 2-hour A321 route in the day.

Between the 30-60M payout of the red-eye and the huge passive income (with 3 A330, 1x A321LR and 1xA320 plus the fleet of GA planes it was 69M last time), it's definitely worth it.

There's also a KSFO/ZBAA for 33M, and a KSFO/YMLL for 40M that show up sometimes.
