Jack Sawyer Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 Sweet TTM! Is this one "study level"? I'm finding it difficult to take XP seriously with such a dearth of complex yet accurate aircraft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm finding it difficult to take XP seriously with such a dearth of complex yet accurate aircraft. I think I'll answer this one Jack with a question - what, to you, is a study level aircraft, what does it need to have? I suspect it will be one where its a cold start & you have to flick a lot of switches to get it going & pretty well all the onboard systems are accurately modelled & if you don't treat them right they will bite you in the derriere? I don't have the mental acumen or patience for cold start. The MD-80 is easy to fly & probably doesn't have the system depth you are seeking. Addressing a wider issue, I suspect that currently the best study level aircraft are in P3D & the best scenery, (Orbx TE), is in XP. I am finding I fly about 75% XP/25% P3D at the moment because of the visually superior TE scenery. I go to P3D to fly a particular aircraft, eg, the L-1011, because I can't get it in XP. If Orbx did the Americas & Europe in TE I would probably never fly P3D again. & then there is the MS 2020 evolution in the background. TTM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTM It has to be on the level of PMDG, A2A, FSLabs, and Majestic. I mean if a circuit breaker can disable a system when opened or pop because of a short, even better. The more complex and deep the systems are the better. I don't really like CTRL+E starts, a lot of guys do and I'm not knocking it but with my training I love a cold and dark start, flight planning, programming an FMC and all that stuff. I love what I see with MSFS 2020 but if it isn't locally installed on my PC like Orbx's stuff is and I have to have a $40 per month Xbox Gold membership then they can count me out.

I think I've found your aircraft Jack. https://store.x-plane.org/Airbus-A319-by-Toliss_p_762.html Look at this! "Fault injection interface with support for roughly 90 different failures and probability-based random failure injection" That should keep you busy! But seriously, it looks pretty complex in the features description, perhaps worth a look. TTM " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have indeed looked at this and the other one, forget the name now as I’m outside barbecuing chicken and drinking a nice Hoagaarden beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodger Pettichord Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 TTM, I liked the way you used the various angles to bring out the variety of colors and shades as the plane came down through the sunset. Each shot a beauty. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RodgerC Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 Absolutely gorgeous set of shots. I'd love to get away from FSX:SE, but too many drawbacks for me to P3D, (cost to rebuild a computer), XP 11 (cost again as I would have to replace all my airplanes). I'm so tired of the VAS problems. So I can only fly about 45 minutes to an hour at best before I get the dreaded VAS warnings going off. I can't use the ORBX San Diego because of VAS issues. Retirement is good. Fixed income bad. So I just do what I can with what I have. But I sure enjoy seeing what you all are getting to enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree Jack, I am not a fan of remote play programs, and I certainly am not inclined to open a XBox account just to play a flight Sim. I currently use FSX (original) and am now considering the upgrade to either P3Dv4 or XP11 along with a new system, I also need to consider the ORBx items I have purchased over the years. Now with MSFS 2020 coming, I shall have to wait a bit longer before I decide on the Program I move to and also the system I will require. By the way Tiger, nice pics.
