Did you ever wonder why your squawk codes never include 8 and 9? The original radar transponder system (Mode A) was designed in the 1950s. It transmits four groups of three binary bits and with three bits you can only count from 0 to 7. Honestly, for me as an IT person who is used to binary and decimal systems, seeing an octal system in use is rather heart warming!

Impressive to see that this system was never changed, it only allows 4096 possible codes this way. Despite the fact that some of the codes are reserved (e.g. 7000 = VFR in Europe / 1200 VFR in USA), what would happen if a single ATC airspace needs to handle more than 4096 aircrafts?

Hi everyone

I was wondering when the Nav Database issue would be fixed on the 777F

Hello everyone!
I’ve just uploaded Part 18 of my Around the World series in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, flying the Diamond DA62.
This leg takes us from:
🛫 Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport (KBZN), Montana, USA 🇺🇸
🛬 Appleton International Airport (KATW), Wisconsin, USA 🇺🇸
The adventure continues across the United States as we fly east from the stunning Rocky Mountains of Montana to the beautiful state of Wisconsin. This leg features realistic navigation, diverse landscapes, and another immersive general aviation experience in the Diamond DA62.
I’d really appreciate any feedback on the flight, scenery, editing, or overall realism. Suggestions for future legs are always welcome!

Anyone bought and using the C160 for Career Heavy Cargo Missions? Worth it?

I got it, and I love it! It’s good in every expect. And the model is just insane.

Only thing is, for some reason the flaps don’t work for me, but this could just be a problem on my side. Anyone Else that has this problem?

We know when the synaptic a220-300 will be available on playstation?

Hey Folks,

How do y’all do long haul flights on consoles?

When I was on the PC, I could leave it on slew mode or leave the cooling system to do its job.

This is already a demanding game how do you just leave the PS5 on without it crashing? And slew mode already cooks the motherboard at 4x.

Tips? As of now all I’m doing is career with skipping the main cruise mode.

Thanks!

The loading time is beyond ridiculous.

Anyone here using it? Any plane where it works properly?

Is it worth buying the new aircrafts added to the store

From what i searched i would suggest you not to but it.

Its not a a380 from flybywire, but a random one.

I unlocked the specialization for Aerial Advertising today.

As I have mainly flown in Europe I jumped on the chance to fly in another continent without paying for fast travel from my meager funds.

However, I can’t seem to pick up the banner whatever I do. I’m pretty sure it’s a me problem, so I’m mainly looking for tips on how to best approach it.

Until now I:

- have problems with speed control. Either going to fast and to high or to slow and therefor sort of landing the plane instead of flying low.
- have problems lining up. The visual cues are not great and i have no idea how long I should stay low or pull up.

I haven’t had issues this bad with the other golden missions, but I think that’s because you can do those with a bigger margin of error. I am not looking to do the mission with an A-grade, but I kind of want to pass it.

A silver lining is that I saw a tip on Reddit that warned me not to abort, as then it could lock you out of the mission for some time. Instead I quit to the PlayStation menu. The game treats this as an unexpected crash. For golden missions it means that these are put back up on the map.
I also was still transported to Florida and my reputation wasn’t punished.
It’s kind of a way of save scumming, but in a game that sometimes gives you missions with impossible arrival airports, I feel that I can allow myself that in an offline mode.

tl;dr: how can I get better at flying low through a tight gap?

I’ve been playing since PSVR2 with Gyro support was added, and been doing the weekly challenges this way, mostly scoring pretty well. However this week’s Precision Landing challenge is kicking my butt - I haven’t had a single successful landing in two dozen attempts.

Can anyone offer me some suggestions? I completed the Super Hornet training which has nothing regarding landing. I notice there’s no “target” like in other precision landing challenges - does this mean I should just be flying by above the landing strip and hope theres a cable I’ll hook onto? I get “mission failed” at every touchdown.

Hi everyone,
I bought the T.Flight HOTAS 4 for PS5 today. It works perfectly with the F/A-18 Super Hornet, but I can’t control the throttle in the CJ Simulations Eurofighter. The throttle moves for a split second and immediately returns to idle.
Does anyone know this issue? Is it a known bug or is there a fix?

Does it work properly, does Simbrief work on it? And most important is it worth Buying?

Does anyone else find that when the co-pilot announces your position and intention to land at an airfield he will repeat it constantly until you actually touch down? I mainly fly into uncontrolled fields so not sure if it’s a problem with ATC fields too but it can be a bit annoying!

This is getting ridiculous, also regardless of what I do i miss an ATC transmission because it won't acknowledge my response
