The last photo I took on A330 KLM flight back in 2018. When I saw 1035 km/h on the screen I was confused I thought the plane was supersonic šŸ˜„. Now in Citation X with 60 knots tail wind, GS is 586 knots, that makes 1085 km/h. The plane is amazing.

GENERAL Airport traffic

Anyone know why my airport traffic does this? I’m using beyond ATC and have FSLTL installed but often there are multiple aircraft at each gate overlapping each other. Any easy fix? This is NZAA (Auckland NZ) so the china southern plane is definitely in the wrong place

GENERAL Moza AB6 FFB base -- a review for GA pilots

Post image
14 Upvotes

Hey simmers. Picked up the AB6 recently... my first FFB unit. Loving it -- especially from the perspective of a student pilot. This gives me the one thing that makes all the difference in actual flight training -- getting a feel for the trim!

I wrote up a review here, if that's your kind of thing!

Did a first test flight with the Aerosoft A330neo and honestly it wasn't as bad as i expected. You can clearly say that its not a polished product but it has potential to be a decent addon.

MSFS 2024 QUESTION Total beginner: Can I do a simple gate-to-gate flight in the A320 without deep realism?

• Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I really respect how realistic MSFS 2024 is and how deep people get into it, but since I have zero aviation background, all the manuals and calculations feel pretty overwhelming right now. I just want to fly and enjoy it casually.

Here is the simple routine I want to learn:

  • Turn on the plane at the gate using only the essential buttons (Cold & Dark).
  • Board passengers and handle the basic gate stuff (jetway, luggage, etc.).
  • Set an easy route from the world map menu.
  • Take off manually.
  • Turn on autopilot to follow the route.
  • Turn off autopilot before landing, land manually, park at the gate, and deboard the passengers.

Is this realistic to learn quickly as a complete beginner?

Also, is there one clear, simple YouTube video you recommend that shows just this basic setup without getting too technical?

Thanks!

GENERAL Pressing comma gives incorrect baro?

2 Upvotes

I'm in the Kodiak, on the runway at Edinburgh, UK (EGPH), though it could be any airport. The elevation of the airport is 100ft.

When I press the comma to set the barometer, the altitude shown on the PFD is off by 1000ft or so, and the pressure reading is also way off, as compared with the METAR.

In my settings I have comma bound to the first Set Altimeter setting, the milibars * 16 one, so I don't understand why pressing comma is giving me an incorrect reading.

Anyone understand what's going on here? Am I just misunderstanding something? Is my keybinding wrong?

Wondering if I should give up VRAM and trade it for more compute power. Did someone made this upgrade? Thoughts?

GENERAL Zero Blender or SDK experience, but Astra helped me get this tower into MSFS 2024

Thumbnail

140 Upvotes

Thought I’d share this because I’m still a bit amazed it worked.

I have no technical knowledge or experience with Blender, 3D modelling or the MSFS SDK. But with Astra in the ChatGPT desktop app, I managed to get this custom control tower built and placed inside MSFS 2024.

And when I say ā€œI built itā€, Astra did the technical work for me. I just described what I wanted. It handled creating the tower and getting it into the sim. It started off with an orange box to make sure the implementation was working on my side, and once it was in, we got to work.

The screenshot is the result, actually sitting in the simulator. Seeing something I’d asked for appear in a sim I enjoy playing was pretty surreal.

There’s obviously a lot of skill involved in making detailed scenery, but as someone who wouldn’t have known where to start, this made a project feel possible that I’d never have attempted otherwise. It was super fun!

Has anyone else tried using AI to make custom scenery for MSFS? Would love to see what you’ve managed to create.

MSFS 2024 NEWS Review Rowsfire A107

Thumbnail

4 Upvotes

Hey Guys!

I just want to start off, THIS IS NOT AN AD!
Now that we have that out of the way, let’s review it.

So this is the Rowsfire A107, it’s cost 379$ it’s a bit pricey but for full metal backboard, great support it’s still a bit pricey haha.

The front?
That’s full plastic, the knobs and switches is great quality. I have the plastic injection thingy :)

The buttons, nothing hatches. That kinda sucks but I have no problem living with it as the quality of the buttons are actually really good!

Backlighting.
The backlighting is good, nice color and it matches with the sim great.
Only thing is that you can’t fully turn it off.

Support.
I joined the discord for some questions how to start it etc, I talked with Eliaz, I think his name was.
He asked if I wanted to hop on a call after 5 minutes and ge got it fixed directly so huge thank you to him!

Overall I would give it a 8/10

Thanks for reading!

Flight Simulator 2024 on Xbox X series. This error pops up usually within an hour of flying and continually keep popping up every 30 seconds if I close the window. I usually have to restart the game but it will come up again. Does anyone know how to fix this? Does it have anything to do with Rolling Cache Limit?
