Yes! We flew home to Adelaide on a Cathay Pacific A350 900 direct flight from Hong Kong last month and it was one of the smoothest flights and landings we have ever had. A great plane.

Some good suggestions there, hopefully some will be done.

The view comment reminded me .... I flew home to Adelaide from Hong Kong a few weeks back on a direct Cathay Pacific flight using an A350-900 (economy, row 72). I have to say that on the screen on the back of the seat in front in front of us we could switch from tailplane view to nose view. Although those were interesting to see, neither was as good as just looking out of our cabin window. I think the angle of view is not great with those cameras. So if anything is done with views they need to look to look at that too to give us something worth seeing.

I had to google Barra airport to find out where it was. It is in the Outer Hebrides, in the northern reaches of the UK. I suspect it gets even less visitors than Palau which is is where I was a couple of weeks ago. I am thinking that it will probably get more visitors via IPACS than in reality now. 😀

Best sim on the phone? This is the best sim on the planet. ❣️

Whoops .... sometimes it pays to read the installation instructions.

1. Copy all *.tsb files from "jungmeister" folder from your Aerofly FS4 installation path into "corben\sounds" folder.

I SHOULD know how to fix this but my memory is not so good .

What is the path or file that can be modified to get the engine sounds working with this excellent plane from krzysk? At the moment it is a beautiful model but without any sound.

For me yes. I paid for all the Orbx sceneries when we used FS2 and would pay again if we had quality add on scenery again. But I also think there are folk who create things as a hobby and their reward is making something that actually works rather than making any money out of it. So basically it depends on what the developers aims are.

I could not get my TCA stick and throttle quadrants to work properly (mainly due to the throttle) so I have put it in storage and bought the cheaper Thrustmaster Hotas 1. I set that up according to Huddison's "setting up the Hotas 1 from scratch" youtube video which is very easy to follow. Maybe that option might suit you?

Ahhh found it. 48km north west of LA. I get an anomaly north of the dam but not the same one as you are getting. Mine is like a very tall chimney with a house on the top. Maybe there is a terrain flattening tool available somewhere for us to use.

I thought I would have a look myself but there is no airport called Santa Clarita. So where is it exactly please?

Sorry to hear of your loss. Remember the good times.

Krzysztof Kaniewski has released a Cessna 170B for FS4 over on Github. Flies well. Buy him a coffee if you like it.

I did not upgrade from 2020 and FSX till last week because of all the negative posts and vlogs. Nearly all undeserved as far as I can see now.

Don't forget to buy him a coffee when you download it. It is a good plane.

I bought MSFS2024 recently. I am not getting rid of AFS4 or anything like that, I just like to mess around in different sims. I was on a flight this morning up in the north western part of my state of South Australia and noticed a plane icon on the map with the label of QFA933 on it. I thought it might be a user handle and I idly put QFA933 into google to see what would come up. What came up was flightaware.com and details of Qantas Flight QFA933 which is a flight from Brisbane to Perth in a B737, and also track details of where it was currently at. That matched my map display in MSFS2024! I was totally gob smacked. I never realized that the sim actually displayed the real time position of real flights in it. I know it is fashionable to knock and rubbish other sims but you have to hand to Asobo to manage this sort of interface.

I was playing this on my tablet last night with the TV going in the background. I took off from San Carlos, headed up over San Francisco airport, the South Industrial hills, down over San Francisco city and out over Alcatraz to some of the heavily populated areas on the North shore before swinging back south to Half Moon bay and beyond. I then went East and back up the bay to land at KSFO. This sim is just phenomenal! The scenery owes nothing to anything else, it is just brilliant. My only complaint though is that it is so dead on the ground. No cars or trains, nothing to show how alive and vibrant our world is. I know the team is small, and it would probably be impossible to get these features in the Android version, but will they ever be in the PC one? I would cheerfully pay a lot for that sort of add on. Loving the sim.

Thanks for the 262. Good looking plane. I do not have any problem with the T on my windows PC. It does advance time which is what is supposed to do I think.

Yes I have and I see Aldinga but not very many South of there.

I just completed a flight from Aldinga YADG (South Australia) down the Fleurieu Peninsula and back and I do not think any landmark labels exist to the south of Aldinga. I am sure this has been asked and answered before, but is it possible to add places to the landmarks file?

Yes I am talking about airplanes

I have been reading a book called The Last Flight of the Daisy Mae and it is about a B24 crew experience in WWII. Naturally I look for one in my flight sims and I fire up my FSX sim (sorry it is not in AFS4) and take off in it over my hometown. I cannot believe how sluggish this plane feels to fly. Compared to to some of our current line up in AFS4 I had to really concentrate and watch my controls constantly to maintain altitude and speed. No aerobatics for me in this one. Anyone ever flown in one or seen one at an airshow? I think the real life pilots must have had very strong arms.
