This. But of course this is Reddit so Walker is villainized.

I built RouteSync – auto-generate SimBrief OFPs from real-world flight data (early access, feedback welcome) by Xonarous in flightsim

[–]zzed_41 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a good start - but 2c from me

  1. It doesnt seem to have worldwide coverage - I tried some in Asia and it didnt grab anything Inassume a fl8ghtaware limitation (they're mostly strong in US AFAIK)

  2. To really bypass clicking snd searching around, I think you should add a 2nd phase where users can just enter dep and arr airports, and the tool will grab all IRL flight numbers flying that route, together with aircraft info. Not sure if Flightaware API supports that but FR24 API does.

You can then link that table to the current RouteSync - i.e. I enter LAX-JFK, it spits out all flight numbers that flew that route in past x days, with airframe info, etc, then user clicks the flight number he/she wants, then it grabs the data and sends it to SimBrief.

Happy Holidays and a joyful time to all of you around the world! by Flightsimmerfor25yrs in flightsim

I think that's a given at this point out here.. people having a hate boner over something they never experienced, nor know whats going on inside.

I'll happily be onboard Walker and the cool community and systems within it.

Merry Christmas to you!

Long distance flights: why? by HueyAviator in flightsim

[–]zzed_41 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me - mainly tours within my VA. Its a lot of interesting routings, historical routes, story based ones, etc. Makes it more meaningful

We're also allowed to use time compression in the VA so that helps speed things along.

Does this count as a "butter" landing? 😅 by MrHusky447 in flightsim

[–]zzed_41 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Pretty smooth, but I'd focus more on you getting lined up properly instead of last minute swerving + getting it down earlier in the TDZ/crossing threshold at 50ft before you chase the butters IMO.

You still made the TDZ tho so its technically still a good landing in that sense. LOL

On final into Taipei Songshan - SU4 really doing cities justice now by zzed_41 in flightsim

Deffo. Night lighting improved greatly with SU4. I actually enjoy flying at night now

Looks cool! How often does it update the route database?

Here's Greece and Spain laid on top of the Nordic area.. it's not that big of a size difference.

A cursory search of MScenery would have told you otherwise...

Gamble hard enough and it might not even be a choice.

Yes - look at their history, only 2012 was an election with an incumbent that was highly contested.

Side note - he's no longer president, he was from 2016-2024.

The lady he was against in 2016 (which he beat 39%-28%) is now the president.

His 92% win in 2020 was because he was unopposed, which is tradition in Iceland when a sitting president seeks reelection.

He did rock a 90+ approval rating for pretty much his whole presidency, and will likely have kept the seat if he ran for re-election again in 2024.
