Re: World Tour Resumed in Style!

It took about 257 hours so far, flown on and off over the course of the last 8 years I started a world tour in FSX with the Comanche many years ago. I ran out of steam as the scenery was so dull and the enjoyment factor fell away. That began 9 years ago and lasted 4 years, getting slower with time....

Re: Question about the audio panel

Hello Frank, The behaviour you describe is normal for MSFS in my experience, and I think it's carried over from FSX. I have found that I can (usually) still transmit to ATC using the menu options (1, 2, 3 etc.) when the ATC window is on the 'wrong' tab (i.e. using COM2 but ATC window is on COM1), bu...

Re: Huge amount of water in my fuel this morning

I've found, for example, a missing aileron nut, a damaged flap linkage, and a quirky elevator trim tab on various A2A airplanes. Each one, presumably, happened on the immediately preceding flight, so it's a good idea to do a full walkaround before you take it up again. I suppose some elements can h...

Re: Huge amount of water in my fuel this morning

On that topic, I was wondering how much a full walkaround is really needed, if you make several flights in quick succession. Of course, if you leave the sim running between flights, you won't likely have a 'walkaround' type of issue on your second flight, such as a rag in the engine intake. But if y...

Re: Eng & Hobbs Hours Transfer to Other Liveries

I've wondered about this, as I often fly with Air Hauler 2 and that lets you 'repaint' your aircraft (switch livery). If I did that, to update my 'used' US-registered N7791P registration to a custom livery, I would want to transfer the hours. Although I haven't tried it, it could (might?) be as simp...

Re: ATC assigns FL250

In case you haven't already found it, you can set your flight plan's altitude by clicking the "Navlog" button in the top-right of the World Map in MSFS. It's far from obvious, sadly... Might be easiest to plan in another program like Little Navmap and export the plan to MSFS and then load ...

Re: SU14 and instrument lights

What hardware are you using? With the Honeycomb Bravo, for instance, the nav light switch is permanently transmitting an 'off' or 'on' state. When set to 'on' the nav lights will be on, but the knob cannot be rotated to any other position, such as to turn up the instrument lights. It snaps back to t...

Re: I love touring the world... you ruined every other plane for me... 😏

In the recent Navigraph survey , two things jumped out at me: 1) The most important feature in a simulator was voted to be aircraft depth and complexity by some margin. Second was realism and authenticity of aircraft. 2) The Comanche was by far the best-voted GA add-on of all. I appreciate that a su...

Re: When you think you're a great pilot...

With a keyboard it's all too easy to accidentally double-press a key without realising and toggle down and back up the gear. Haven't done that for many years though, since I've been using TrackIR for about 20 years now (scary thought) and toggle the gear with the mouse and see the switch position. A...

Re: Brake caliper sounds could use some love

I agree. When maintaining light braking, the squeaks seem to loops or restart quite often in a slightly jarring way. I know my Saitek pedals don't have the best potentiometers so can be a bit 'spiky' which may relate to the reason as the braking force is frequently increasing/decreasing, but definit...

Re: Found a sound bug

Possible additional minor sound bug that I noticed recently: Parked on the ground on a windy and gusty day. The two cabin air vents were about half open (by vents, I mean the push/pull knobs on the lower right of the instrument panel). When the wind gusts enough, I'd being to hear the 'hiss' sound o...

Re: Nav1 DME is not giving me a ground speed for the VORDME?

I noticed the same issue with no ground speed on a recent flight. Two different VOR/DMEs in the south of England (DET + SFD). Not an issue I'd noticed before. I got the distance read-out but no matter how long I waited, no ground speed. So I thought it could be a bug with the latest patch, but presu...

Re: Suggestion for tablet MX feature

The request to be able to inspect individual items and fix them has been made before; it's probably on the wishlist for future consideration already. At least I hope so. I certainly agree that it would be nice to inspect the condition of a single item and having the opportunity to fix it, without re...
