    I feel our orb discussion is falling upon deaf ears...

     

    Not quite. At the beginning of the discussion we had only three MSFS products avaiable for Orbs, one or two of them freeware (!) anyway, as per yesterday we already had more than a dozen MSFS products to choose from.

    sorry, confusing. I want to add a  new airline company to match with with my aircraft.

     

    EX. Latam exists, but I would like Latum- Ecuador

     

    Sorry, I do still not understand what you mean. Do you want to add the call sign of Latam Chile in order to be used by ATC? And in which sim?

    Hi Anna, and thanks for the update, I have to say though the idea of products which you cannot buy with "normal" money ie ORBS only is , well, bold.

     

    Frankly I don't think that one will fly.  However I've be wrong before, good luck.

    Hi Brian,

    Anna's statement is from Oct 4, so it is not really an update.

     

    It is sad that within a periode of 4 months  her mentioned intensions have not been achieved.

    It's curious then why you put laughing face to someone asking for an add-on for Prepar3D / FSX. FS2020 is not the only sim on the planet. Some of us do not wanna move on, since we have so many add-on products and it is a valid reason as well. But to laugh at us for asking to me is very immature. 

     

    You have abviously not checked, that This laughing face was clearly meant sarcasticly.

    In conjunction with our aging - some of us - when watching TV - especially streaming - think that we are going deaf

    In my case  - I need hearing aids - and they are the type that the volume can be adjusted - but my wife does not have

    any and refuses to go and get some - even when they are free to OAPs.

    Consequently - because of the poor quality of sound in what we are watching - and the TV -  and trying to listen to dialogue-- I

    bought her some blue tooth headphones and I use my hearing aids

    However - we then come up to the modern movies where most of the sounds are mumbled and loud music overlaid soundtrack

     

    maybe this is the answer ---- 

     

     

    Very, very interesting video. Thanks so much for sharing John. Now I know, I am not alone.

    I need a hearing aid in ny left ear and I am like the guy in this video, constantly moving the seen back and forth and/or using subtitles (of course only when watching alone:D).

     

    Here, where I live there is also the problem, that many films are only available overdubbed with German language. So in cheaper or TV productions in order to fit the spoken German word to the movement of mouth and lips of another language, the actor who is doing the overdubbing very often has to speak in an unatural way, e.g. speeding up for one or two words or even leaving out whole syllables. Which makes it even harder to understand.

    Okay I think it's the plate that lights up that's near the master caution button?

     

    So, here is the exact location of the Clear/Recall button. Not all 737-800 have it. In the MSFS PMDG it is optional AFAIK.

    It is the C/R button in the middle of the panel. There is a small image of the 3 MFD buttons beside the blue highlighted text in the pic below:

    Unusual though, normally a single engine failure would be a PAN call, Mayday is for dire life threatening issues. As most (all)  twin engine passenger jets can fly with a single engine then although the issue is serious it was not a Mayday - unless of course there were other issues. No doubt this will all come out in due course. As you say a wonderful result whatever the semantics.

     

    According to officials the captain altered the Maday into a PAN shortly after.

    Interesting that the GARMIN GNS 430/530 by Working Title Simulations product causes the issue. I have heard from Orbx that there is an MSFS issue causing the AP problem but they do intend fixing it once the next update happens (Feb 23) so will see. In the meantime I'll give your suggestion a try. Thanks.

    I have many many addons Installed in my community folder !! ( 1607 ) :rolleyes:

    Most probably one of them is in conflict with another one ! 

     

    At the moment i am removing alphabetically out of the C F. addons , and checking whether or not i solve my issue !!

     

     

    I'd at first completely empty the community folder. Then you'll see if anything in the community folder is causing the issue at all, before realising after a lengthy testing that the community folder has nothing to do with the issue.

    I am also disappointed. I fly only MSFS now and buy MSFS products, which give me orbs, but I can almost only use them for... P3D and XP products. :wacko:
    Plus, it says 'The Orbs Store updates weekly.' Has this update idea been withdrawn? I haven't seen any changes for weeks.

     

    There has been an update about a couple of weeks ago by reducing the Orbs offering for MSFS to only 3 products.:(

     

    You made a good point. It is odd to be able to earn lots of Orbs by buying MSFS products, but not being able to spend them on (many) MSFS products.

    Unless he meant ortho?  My ortho in XP12 is way above the streaming quality available in MSFS.

     

    I guess you do use Bing for your ortho like most XP simmers do. MSFS also uses Bing, but more up to date data than those available for XP ortho.

    I addition MSFS autogen placement is by far superior to XP placement, not to mention MSFS photogrammetry.
