The Dover and Lydd sectors at London Centre were once among my validations , and while much has changed over the years, certain things remain constant. The level restriction at Biggin is critical for establishing an approach vector and maintaining spacing from the Ockham hold, regardless of whether easterly or westerly operations are in effect. To simplify the process, descent from jet levels typically begins before the French coast, with an early transfer to London Control. As a result, the intermediate levels depicted on the chart are generally irrelevant, since the descent profile will be with ATC guidance. Some things may have changed so more recent real life experiences could vary.

That’s an impressive manual for its price point. It’s interesting in that, to achieve cruising altitude, it suggests climbing to your desired level +200ft and then dropping down into cruise—sometimes referred to as “getting on the step.” In over 40 years in air traffic control, I’ve never seen an Fokker F27 perform this manoeuvre—only one cargo pilot flying a Viscount out of Dublin ever requested permission to do so.

It's worth the low price as a bit of fun but it's one for the Hangar. In the 1970s, I flew jump seat on Air Anglia Fokker F27s, though this flight deck seemed more rudimentary than I remember. What I do recall vividly is climbing steeply to FL230 above the weather, fully loaded, departing Paris Orly — and this aircraft handled it effortlessly. On the downside, the onboard sounds are inaccurate and resemble ocean waves rather than the characteristic drone of two Rolls-Royce Dart engines.

Just opened the passenger version so far. There seems to be a sound issue. I can't hear the engine and other sounds are barely there. Perhaps I need to reinstall. EDIT: A reinstall/repair has fixed it :)

I think I downloaded it from here https://flysimware.com/website2019/learjet-35a-msfs2024/ There's a new Flysimware Updater that might make life easier in future.

I bought the new version of the 2024 model with my $20 rebate this morning as having no great affection for the Lear , I was undecided until then. I'm a lazy simmer and always found that flying the Lear accurately took more than average effort. Well this new model looks , flies and sounds great. For me the latest updated version of the 2024 model is worth the money. I can't report any bugs but I had to completely uninstall the 2020 version to make it work.

I've just started OK using a Brazilian VPN and now running without a VPN from the UK. Maybe it's back?

Asobo are quite something and can still surprise when least expected. After crossing the Sahara Desert to the Malian town of Tessalit I was landing at an unmarked airfield just west of the town. Between two parallel strips of asphalt were about a dozen Camels that appeared to be programmed to run as I got closer.

It was probably the most complex of the early wide bodies with sophisticated lift control. Climbing out of Paris one Thundery night and with the lights flickering , I saw the ceiling move in the opposite direction to the floor. I know about flexible wings but flexible fuselage. That was a British Airways example and my last flight on L1011s.

I used GAIST in 2020 and loved it, but this software is what I'm using in 2024 and very happy with it. Purchased through the Marketplace, it's incredibly easy to get started, although my original purchase through Contrail was problematic when I tried to upgrade. (By the way, the Seafront website offers a free Channel Islands Package.) It works offline, though I use it in Real Time mode, which covers most live traffic. Ferries and cruise ships are included, although my regular RoRo ferry across the Irish Sea looks nothing like it does in the sim.

Another 2.5gb update just coming down. What's that all about?

There she blows 4.2gbs

I like the wing flexing at 42 seconds.

There's no clipboard in the 2024 version. The 2024 is without question the poorest version of all the BN2 aircraft ( graphically and flight dynamics ) and for me it was quite a shock having enjoyed the original offering. An update has made the performance a little more realistic but right now only the Turbine version seems worth flying. Having spent hours flying as a passenger in a BN2 I had expected better.

It seems OK here. There are a lot of switches in the roof panel that need to be adjusted to taste. I've not probed the handling yet but a solid IFR flight using the Pro Line above 500 ft ending with a 20 kt crosswind landing went well enough. Later: A bit more flying and I find the whole thing dreary and bound for the hangar. After some excellent Carenado releases I had expected better. Let's see what other reviewers make of it but it's not for me.

I thought it was just a normal picture hosting site like Flikr but clearly there is so much more.

Not sure why images are banned but , if I remember correctly , it was a High Court Judgement about music copyright. I expected it to be overturned rapidly but nothing seems to have happened.

I've spent a long time looking at the A2A Forum and it isn't helpful. They talk about stutters but we are talking about the image moving up and down. For me a stutter is quite different. Are they in denial? I don't know but accessing their forum isn't easy

Turning the Shake off has helped quite a bit and makes it flyable. However , when switching from internal to external view the aircraft still jumps up and down. When we bought early access we expected things like this but not in a final release.

It is in the main msfs menus Accessibity Effects and Annimation Camera Shake

Under Effects and Animations I noticed that Shake was on. I turned it off and for the last 20 minutes the Aerostar has been flying perfectly. I hope that's the remedy for me.

I appreciate the original poster flagging this up as I thought it was only me. I've never seen these jumps in the Comanche but I find the Aerostar too unpleasant to spend much time with. (Buyers remorse kicking in perhaps ) No sound glitches here ; you can sit quietly doing nothing and just watch the instrument panel go up and down while the nose outside doesn't move. All turbulence settings at minimum .. now to check this camera shake

I totally agree with the unreal ground friction but he's quite wrong about the ILS range. ILS systems have a protected range which is given in the National Aeronautical Publication usually 15 miles or so. You may receive a signal but it is not protected or calibrated. ATC in the UK should not clear an aircraft to establish on to the Localizer outside that range although you might be cleared to intercept the final approach track prior to an ILS approach.

I ran the software through Norton and Malwarebytes and it showed nothing unusual so as we suspected Windows seems to have flagged a false positive. With that in mind I've installed it , flown a PA28 across London and I'm quietly impressed. I wouldn't say that it's better than AutoFPS but it's a interesting development.
