  3. Here's mine. When I first bought the PMDG 737 for MSFS, I had no knowledge or experience at all in programming an FMC. I kept seeing FL150 or FL250 or FL300 in the display, and I thought that the "FL" stood for "flaps." So I thought "FL150" meant that at a given waypoint, the FMC would automatically set my flaps to 15 degrees. If my waypoint said "FL250," I expected the FMC to automatically configure my flaps to 25 degrees, etc. It never worked! After about a month, I followed the old advice, "If all else fails, read the instructions."

    TO MODERATOR(S) -- I APOLOGIZE in advance... I have struggled with where best to post this request. Please reroute/delete at your discretion. I am trying to source a good video demonstrating "Autoland" functionality and process. Something that would be meaningful and complete (ie., throughout the process) to a non-pilot. ...for someone who is anxious about the situation wherein the pilot(s) is disabled. I have made a similar request(s) at a number of GA pilot and aircraft sites, but thus far no joy. I am hoping that the AVSIM community might be interested in understanding Autoland, and then might have come across a good, single video, explaining and de…

    Hi folks. I was wondering if the in-sim ATC system knows the difference when you are in a helicopter and will take off straight up, vs a fixed wing aircraft? Thanks

  11. Last Sept/Oct when I was active here, the Kodiak 100 by SimWorks was highly regarded, but having some teething pains with flight modelling. I bought it and used it, but it did have some odd behaviour. SimWorks was blaming sim changes but still tweaking things, and seemed pretty responsive. But I see the last update was Dec. Are all the issues fixed? Is it still a fan favourite? Or has it been eclipsed by something better or fallen out of favour? What’s the state of the Kodiak 100 these days?

    It looks like Sombox is compatible with the Fenix for the MCDU now. Can anyone point me in the right direction as to where I can downoad the Simbox control app on the PC? I have the App on my tablet, but can't seem to find on their site where I need to d/l for my PC. Also i see something that says "buy" but I don't see any pricing or links to d/l. There is nothing that shows price on the knob or no knob portion. It is blank under that. Is there a setting I need to change in order to get access? Thanks!

  13. Looks like Tropicalsim has done an updated version of KMCI based on the new terminal. It was released on July 31 with no announcement. Looks ok for a TS product. Has anyone purchased it yet? There is a discount if you own the KMCI v1 2020 or P3D product.

    From Jayne on the official forums; Currently the World Hub was on the roadmap to be released alongside World Update 14. This didn’t happen as intended so we inquired. The World Hub is currently going through accessibility and privacy requirement reviews, and our aim is to release it as soon as we can. We are hopeful the release will be alongside Sim Update 13 in September, depending on how the reviews go. https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/scenery-gateway-system-world-hub/240399/309

  16. EGCC Massive Update Planned! The time has come... After liaising with the MAG team at Manchester Airport for some time now, we are ecstatic to announce that we will be visiting the airport with an all-access pass to areas like the aprons, runways, and ATC tower (to name a few)! Our visit to the airport will be this month, meaning that once we have all the footage and reference imagery, we will be in a position to start planning the big update for EGCC! Why do we need to visit the airport? From the very beginning, we wanted to make the …

Since when has a fork lift truck gone along an active taxiway... Is there a program out there, for instance GSX that would alleviate that issue or is it something that at present can't be fixed.

    Just noticed this on You Tube, which usually means release is pretty close to release I have been waiting for this airport for ages, and if the reports are true, it's even more detailed than their previous releases, which in my opinion are some of the best available for MSFS. It will be great to do some long haul freight op's as it's the main hub in the UK for everything freight, Plus your usual, Ryannair, Easy Jet etc flights to European destinations. EGNX Here

  23. Having a hard time trying to use the auto pilot on the retro panel of the DC-3. I have the latest version of the Duckworth mod installed. I start the engines open the hydraulic valve, move the handle. I turn the radio Nav 1 to VlLOC and VNAV. I take off and engage the auto pilot and tick on the heading and altitude hold buttons. The plane turns to the east and flies straight and level in that direction. My problem is I can't make the plane change course. I rotate the course direction knob on the panel and the needle moves, but the plane does not change course. I obviously am missing something. Thanks
