r/flightsim

LAX to OGG

Seeing all the news with Artemis arriving back to earth, and I know this is not really the normal flight sim we are used to (GA and Airliners) but has anyone ever tried this sim before? It, looks incredible, that lunar module screenshot gives me Felis 747 vibes.

I love having 6 axes, and love that this unit doesn't cost much but not having detents really makes it a bit hard for Airbus flying during takeoff and using flaps and such. The original detent at around 15% is also pretty unusable as it has so much play.

So i made a detent remover that effectively removes the original detent and allow for more adjustment of the throttle resistance, and then made two versions of the detent, one that fits onto the original throttle column and one that uses a custom one. The detent track can also be changed by loosening the two retaining bits on either end of the track, and i have different ones printed like for flaps, spoilers, Airbus with on axis reverse and without.

The clip on version is for the most part non-destructive besides the need to drill some retaining screws, because I wanted to keep the quadrant as original as possible. If anyone's interested, I can maybe put this up for everyone to print!

Felt like sharing some shots that I felt were really pretty!

There seem to be invisible walls under all the bridges, thereby making it impossible to recreate all those famous trench run scenes from classic action movies.

These are some images from this afternoon's "macro-event" of VATSIM.

I don't remember this event, which as far as I know is one of the most important on the network, having so few people. Someone can explain it to me? It's sad to see it like this. Are people losing interest? Was it poor planning, or was it simply a bad day to hold it?

The images were taken at 17z, one hour after the event started. Some like Germany, were quite active, but others, like France and Italy, didn't even have ATC, and others like Spain had very little traffic.

I want to emphasize that, before anyone gets offended, this isn't a criticism. I love the network and simulation in general; I simply want to know your opinions. They said there were 3,000+ users, but honestly, I didn't see them. Where were they?

felt like sharing this since it was kinda a revamp

Morning KCMH to KMCO for spring break

I have loved getting back into flightsim after over a decade. The Fenix and 24 are sublime and have reignited the fire. I am looking forward to trying more aircraft.

Seeing all these screenshots together has made me realise I should probably get chaseplane or similar for different view options though.

Still relearning the Maddog, but I remember why she was one of my favorite aircraft to fly. I do believe I'm experiencing some sort of bug or WASM crash. The autopilot seems to stop responding to my button presses near approach. Not sure what's going on there.
