Uh huh... I had one lengthy conversation with it over a subject I was personally very knowledgeable about. It made stuff up, doubled down on it and then denied any wrongdoing when called out. You must not use it as an information tool! It's a language model that tries to mimick human interactions, nothing more.

We are so cooked. People liste to what AI has to say...

And where is the problem in using the speedbrakes? This is done in real life as well. Coincidently I just saw two real Airbus captains streaming their Cross the Pond flight on Vatsim and the pilot flying said in real life they never use managed descend anyway, because you a) will never know if the wind does not suddenly change in a way that the aircraft starts to dive to meet its target and b) you need to slow down to 1000ft v/s when reaching the last 1000ft before your target altititude to not trigger any TA/RA in case of traffic below you and if you do that in managed mode you will likely miss constraints if there are any. So in real life they go V/S mode and manage the descend themselves.

I hope that will come one day once all the groundwork is done. And then make it dependant on current traffic flow just like in real life. Another thing it needs to stop doing is giving you instructions to slow to final approach speed before the 6 Mile point, or at least not before established on final and at least 8 miles out. The speed instructions really need work. Having aircraft fly at the same speed for seperation makes sense but reducing you below minimum clean with more than 15 track miles to go makes no sense at all. I have been instructed to go 180 knots above 30 miles out during the last two flights. That's simply way too soon.

What has that to do with which AI traffic you have installed? The TCAS doesn't care if there is traffic or not when you switch it on. The message not displaying points more to the fact that you didn't actually switch it on. Make sure the Transponder is also in AUTO. By default it is off. Then you can switch the TCAS to TA/RA all you like, it won't work.

With Black Square aircraft the No.1 rule is: Stick to the checklist.

Yeah and checking it is a bit of a hassle since it does not work on the ground. You have to be in cruise for that. That's why I personally haven't gone around to it. I only heard some people claim it is not simulated. It was in XPlane though. Doesn't mean it is in MSFS. Edit: I checked it now. The EQT Page is simulated and functional.

So you trust AI, which is notorious for making stuff up, instead of checking it for yourself? We really are doomed as a species if this trend continues... This was also not the question that Fergus asked. He was not asking how to access it, he wanted confirmation by someone who has the add on, if it is simulated.

Could you give a specific example that would make changing the STAR in flight necessary? I can't think of any on the top of my head. ATC assigns the STAR you fly it. You can change runway and approach if necessary but I don't see how changing the STAR would be necessary.

There is. Getting a GPU with more VRAM than the 4060 he has. I should know I am in the same boat and keep on eying the 5060 because it has twice as much VRAM. 😉

Who here remembers Ed? He was the master of self made photorealistic 2D Panels in FS9 days. When those types of panels vanished, so did he.

I take it you are not on discord? So here goes: **Minor Version 1.8.8 EA** **General / IFR** ```⚙️ Improvements Traffic Map V2 - updated traffic icon sizing + variation and a timetable function. Accessible via icon from main UI and included in build. **Old map version will no longer work!** Route Amendment - compare the planned STAR from Simbrief not BATC initial STAR for changes, amendments will make sense now Descent - Give descent clearances with more lead time to prevent VNAV stalls or late descents Local Voice - reworked the engine to help with some strange pronunciations Local Voice Accents - accent model rebuilt from scratch Wake Hold Timing - now uses more accurate values based on leader follow pairing Departure vector - constrain max distance of departure vector path to avoid massive vector legs if no SID and distant first waypoint Data updates - AIRAC 2604 pronunciations, latest airline callsigns, AIG reg mapping data 🐞 Bug Fixes Traffic Deadlocks - Fix remaining stuck departing aircraft issues [#43126691, #08532477] Traffic Deadlocks - Fix pushback paths overlapping during simultaneous pushback causing deadlock Approach - Fix for another traffic aircraft on approach to be given landing clearance when player is on short final Approach - Further fix for lack of "runway in sight" controller call on visual approach which lead to no tower handover [#LOTS] Approach - Fix departing traffic potentially being cleared to takeoff when the player is on final causing go around Taxi - Fix departure runway change not generating an updated taxi path [#99445606] Taxi - Taxi way mentioned twice when given an ICAO cross inactive runway instruction [#86257656] Taxi - In certain ICAO taxi instruction scripts, the holding point numeric ID was not given [#11233006] Procedures - Correct transition call outs for STAR and SIDs Procedure approach - fix change of always vectoring to approach even when it's a direct connection from STAR to Approach start Vectors - for GA aircraft sometimes the runway selected for arrival would be sub-optimal and could lead to being vectored to the wrong runway Info box - Fix empty altimeter info box showing up in UK/AUS if no METAR available for the airport Waypoint cache - fix a caching issue that could lead to being told the wrong next waypoint or vector direction Mag Var - use mag var from our reference airports table rather than sim scenery due to too many errors in sim data Mag Var - wasn't being applied to METARs for runway ops comparison on the first load of the airports could lead to incorrect initial runway allocation CPDLC - When using CPDLC in FAA chance for approach handoff script to not be said verbally CPDLC - Potential server crash when bad URL paths were called Descents - if you start in cruise but have previously moved to a new flight level different from your initial planned cruise, fix the descent flow being broken Runway Lengths - fix runway lengths occasionally being rendered incorrectly in taxi map Traffic Departure - fix certain runways at specific airports not having departing traffic due to the node layout of those runways (LBHP / EGKK for example) Traffic Arrivals - fix turnoff pathing at MKStudios LPPR v2 and maybe others to prevent traffic being removed 🛬 Ops Updates EDDF, EDDK, KJFK, LICJ, LCLK``` This release brings in changes that have been tested in the Exp branch over the last few days. **Please note the old traffic map tool that you may have downloaded from our website will no longer work and you must use the new icon in the UI to access the map now.**

It's not the textures it's the modeling. Have you looked at the overhead recently? Or the geometry of the sidestick? It's atrocious.

Didn't the moderators say to keep the posts about new updates in the existing thread and not continue to make new ones? It seems to me that they stopped doing that. They have neither updated nor added sceneries to their portfolio in years.

I do indeed. Good catch.
