To pee or not to pee, that is the question.

Having spent the last few days in Lower Saxony I thought I would have a change of area and headed for Essen in the North Rhine Westphalia region.
A pleasant change after the flat costal area infested with impressive wind farms and lighthouses.

At Essen Mulheim EDLE another beautifully detailed airport.

Home to a blimp which is presumably safely tucked up in this magnificent hangar.

4.zs4.jpg

Off for a very short flight (not intentional)

 

5.zs5.jpg

The Rhurtarlbruecke which carries the A52 road over the Rhur.

 

6.zs6.jpg

Approaching Dusseldorf an A320 passes underneath.

 

Don't know if anyone else encounters the same problem but I have found that when the sim has been paused for a while it soon gives up when the flight is continued as was the case here.

Great shots, Martyn, did the A320 catch you from underneath? Just kidding of course. Re your sim behaviour, I had similar issues with FSX and also P3D 2.5. But since I have switched to 3.4, those times seem to be gone for good. Now sometimes the sim pauses without prior warning as if it wanted to gain strength again, but then everything is fine once more

Ahh, I'd wondered about the title! All is clear now (or maybe a little amber?) Do I detect a new outfit on the horizon? A leather flying helmet and incontinence pants? (exit stage left, shuddering at the image)

 

And yes, I often leave a flight paused while I do something else (not necessarily that) and it often crashes soon after resuming. Doesn't like being ignored, maybe?

There is probably no consistency to this at all, but I've found on my system  (FSXDX10) that pausing, and then using alt tab to go to do something else while in full screen mode is a recipe for disaster.  If I use "alt enter" to go into windowed mode before I switch to another task I never have any issues .....

 

I am using Win 10 64 bit, build 1607

Unfortunate that we haven´t met while you´ve been around.

I also leave my FSX quite often alone when RL takes its toll, even for hours, and even in PMDG birds. Knocking on wood, I did not encounter any issues so far.

That is just the area you are flying in. The Ruhrgebiet in GEN is prone to VAS overload.

Thanks Bernd. Sometimes my sim pauses and then continues too. In the FSX days that pause was always fatal.

Cheers Andy. I suppose I will have to change my garb as I get older but not quite yet!

The great Bard would be amazed if he saw your screenshots and his little pun.  :lol:

He would never have guessed all those years ago for sure Jack.

Superb shotz there and dangerous traffic close-up at the end! Ahhh, now I get the title!! Yeah, that's a crucial part of flying and you can use it to immerse into simming even more :lol:

Thank you Erik, sadly that was the end of the flight too. I will blame it on wake turbulence.

Thanks Gerold. I will keep my eyes peeled for you.

 

Many thanks for your comments, interest and advice.

Nice shots, in this area at Düsseldorf I spent my youth. After touchdown you can go to the Altstadt 

and have a glas of Altbier. This is light brown beer which tastes quite well. 

Cheers Andreas, sounds like a great thing to do.

If you want to spend long hours flying without taking those annoying bladder breaks , this product is for you Martyn :

 

 Cheers

Thanks for the advise John, I needed them last night when the hydraulics went AWOL when doing my first L-39 flight.
