Vatsim event to Wolf's Fang RWY in Antarctica, first time having coverage while flying on the south pole

https://my.vatsim.net/events/2-years-on-trip-to-wolf-s-fang-runway Can recommend this one next time. Although you should definitely look into programming a custom waypoint before you try to land. Spotting the runway is hard in the middle of nowhere.

    Do you fly with a virtual airline?
  • CertifiedSimPilot CertifiedSimPilot 1y ago 100%

    I think I boot up the simulator too sporadically to join a VA, I've read multiple VA's that require you to fly at least once a month. Plus it feels a bit limiting in a way? Not being in a VA allows you to fly where ATC is on Vatsim and wherever in the world you want.

    Had one go-around, but the landing was good for the weather I'd say. I was kinda surprised, the performance calculation showed me stopping at the end of the runway, but I stopped one holding point before the last one even! (G4 instead of G5)

    Anyways Volanta showed it as a -335 fpm / 1.07G, so I'm happy

    Since KSP2 does not yet have heating, I decided to try to get into low sun orbit
  • CertifiedSimPilot CertifiedSimPilot 1y ago 100%

    Update for @sergih123@lemmy.world and @alehc@lemmy.ml:

    Falling into the sun is a bit time comsuming and finnicky. Try to keep your speed low when you approach the surface, and keep time warp to the lowest you can bear.

    The surface is at around -30 km. It looks like this:

    Descending further... Long trip. As you approach the core your speed will pick up rapidly. When you're at the core, you'll get slingshotted out of the core at a ludicrous speed, in my case 22248.0 km/s. Interstellar travel before it's implemented?Anyways quite satisfying flying out of the sun's core at a fraction of the speed of light. Can recommend!

    ... (picture soon, it won't upload)

    For AMD GPU owners, AMD Chill is a nice way to limit GPU usage during the cruise

    AMD Chill limits your FPS basically. You can enable it in Adrenalin. Wish it could go lower than 30, but it's a quick way to toggle between 60+ fps and 30. Will definitely be using it when I arrive in the cruise phase from now on.

    As it was just a science experiment, infinite fuel has been used... But in the end I achieved this tight orbit! ![](https://lemmyfly.org/pictrs/image/fc79d56a-fbb2-41f3-a918-568ec8eff758.png) I tried to land on the sun as well for the fun of it. The surface at 0 m is not solid. Currently debating if I wanna wait the 30 minutes it takes to get to the centre of the sun.

    Flying the AN-225 on Vatsim: Tips and experiences

    Hi all, Recently took the beautiful AN-225 onto Vatsim for the first time. Mostly on Unicom so it wasn't all that interesting. I would love to take it onto the network more often, but I'm a bit anxious to do so, because it requires extra care from the controllers. And if they have to give extra care to me, I should definitely know how to handle her properly. So I was wondering if anyone here has experience flying the beast on Vatsim, and how controllers handle it. This includes things like the 2 min warmup before / while lining up from the manual. Also, my main gripe with flying this seriously is that I never really know where to park it... If anyone has suggestions on that regard, I'll take any and all tips.

  • CertifiedSimPilot CertifiedSimPilot 1y ago 100%

    In the most recent FAQ they did say that "virtually all add-ons that work in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020) today will function in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024". So all addons should hopefully still work. How that's gonna go with addons from third party stores, remains to be seen I guess. Would be a shame if they don't work, because that's where I got the majority of my addons.

    But yeah, I'd be alot happier if the MSFS base game got lifted to this new version, and all the new content would be a paid DLC...

    Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 FAQ
    www.flightsimulator.com

    Today’s trailer was a short teaser to introduce Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024. We are excited to share much more information about the next generation of the Microsoft Flight Simulator franchise in the coming months. We have been monitoring your feedback to the trailer very closely and apologize for our delayed communication. We would like to take the opportunity to address some of the most common questions we’ve seen. *Will Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 be a completely standalone sequel, or will it also be offered as a paid update for existing players?* Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 is a standalone simulator and the next-generation sequel to Microsoft Flight Simulator that launched in 2020. Current aircraft and airports that are in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020), as well as virtually all Marketplace add-ons, will be supported in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024. *What kind of support can Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020) players expect to see once Flight Simulator 2024 has been released?* We will continue to deliver our Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020) Roadmap which has content ranging from Aircraft and Avionics Updates, Sim Updates, City and World Updates, and also the free Dune DLC. We will continue to support Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020) post the Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 launch. *Will all purchases users have made from the Marketplace be transferrable to the new simulator?* With very few exceptions, virtually all add-ons that work in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020) today will function in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024. Add-ons that were purchased from the in-simulator Marketplace will not need to be re-purchased in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024.

    How do you fly?

    Seeing as this instance and community is brand new, I'm very curious how everyone here flies their digital planes. Personally, I love flying on Vatsim. Usually I grab the Fenix A320. Right now I'm flying some different planes, hoping that the Fenix V2 update drops soon... I need that extra performance to not fly at less than 20fps constantly! Also flying the CRJ, AN225 and ATR. Might also do some VFR on Vatsim soon. But I'd love to hear how you guys fly.
