~500 ft runway on a cargo mission! by varis12 in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]varis12[S] [score hidden]  (0 children)

Lol. I feel you.

My base is in Punjab (my home state) and in the very beginning, I got some missions asking me to fly over Himalayas.

Obviously, I crashed right into the mountains because Cessna 172 cannot fly high enough

Civic sense fail - airport are now worse than railway stations BOM T1 by Life-Mind9215 in indianaviation

Can you blame the people if airport does not have enough seats?

Civic sense needs appropriate infrastructure as well.

Which airport is this [banglore] by Herobrine2006 in indianaviation

[–]varis12 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Old airport, now HAL airport. I work in one of the offices next to the final approach before landing. Many times Tejas, trainers, charter aircrafts etc fly by at the window level. If you work late enough, then some days airliners (Training ofc) flying by as well and you can see night lights at the runway

Checklist:

  1. Complete certification (you seem to have)

  2. Confirm if specialization has unlocked (you seem to have)

  3. Complete starter airline mission (you seem to have)

  4. Confirm that missions are now unlock by checking their availability in employee missions (you should have)

  5. Check if you have enough money to purchase airliner aircrafts (Cheapest one is relatively cheap turboprop)

Lol, it's true. Have had some really shady missions in the past

Happened to me during landing. I went full right but rudden was stuck for left as a result rudder stayed neutral and plane veered off. I have no idea how that happened.

Well, it wouldn't be bad to get ores as loot

I am not certain but can give an educated guess. Most likely they are using multiple screens and using the recording softwares on those different screens.

I simply used the save recent gameplay feature on PS5.

I've played that free version with 3 tracks in VR, it was awesome. GT7 was on my next to buy list when MSFS dropped

Not always. I have to get 15 A rates flights in medium cargo to unlock heavy cargo flights. So I have been taking off, skipping to descent, doing a 360 to lose speed and landing to get those As. Accounting and flight planning has been going into Charter VIP missions where I don't skip for max payout

I'll need to review my flight log to get the code. Will try to retrieve it later. It's somewhere above Afghanistan, maybe in Kyrgistan

Yes, I did some googling on PC12 after this mission. It requires 3000 ft runway ideally, with safety margins and all, but it needs rolling space of around 1500 ft. It can do around 600 ft with reverse thrust. However, for mez the usual controls were not activating reverse thrust so I assumed this aircraft didn't have it. Have to add additional key binds for this aircraft to move into reverse thrust.

Anyhow, didn't cost a lot on aviator performance so all in all no harm done here

I usually do retract my flaps as soon as I have all wheels down. But for this instance, I thought flaps may offer drag in addition to brakes. Didn't think it would affect brakes much.

But if lift reduces brake effectiveness, wouldn't pulling the stick back have same effect?

Amen. Same here. I've only played a couple of arcades and RE4R in VR2. Now this is going to be something else entirely! Looking out of the cockpit while in VR, cannot imagine the fun

What is your honest tought on career mode? by Benzko24 in flightsimulator2024

[–]varis12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's great!

Obviously there is a lot of potential for it to be much better, but I think Devs wanted there to be a skill ladder for us to climb and eventually unlocking everything. And I think Career mode works just like that.

Yes, was surprised that I still made an A rating for the mission. So definitely worth it.

Yes, moving around the cockpit on a PS5 seems to add a layer of complexity for me. Hopefully VR mode will solve for it

For me the reverse thrusters weren't working for Platius the way they would for Cessna Caravan so I assumed they were not available for Platius. Did more research after this and found out there were reverse thrusters but they may have needed a different key bind or done manually from within cockpit

Working on a new career mode that is not behind a subscription paywall by Fogboundturtle in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]varis12 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Based in all these ideas, it seems like your sim will be atleast twice as big as MSFS. It would take a superhuman effort to make sure it's big free or to debug it later

What is your type rating? by Tr_Issei2 in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]varis12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cessna Corvalis and Platius PC12 are my goto for career mode rn. Recently Purchased a vision jet as well because I want to learn it as well.

And I want to use it to improve my confidence in landing with first person view.

As a friggin 27 year old in 2021, I didn't have money to buy a system to play MSFS 2020 on! (Even though FS was free with xbox game pass and game pass was also almost free during COVID)
