About

Ex-usenet addict. Ex-MSFS (98) addict, ex-Aviator addict and ex-Elite addict. Never have been in a real cockpit seat with my hands on the yokes.

Opinion

FG is for geeks. That has been proven to me a few times now. Lucky I'm a bit offa geek else I'd buy me MSFS.

  • prove me wrong

Small legs since I am in the cockpit and not using FMS. I only add when I didn't crash. Flying with live weather. Started in the Learjet 35-A, now flying the same, but very different.

  • Europe

ENSB (there is something wrong with parking but I can't see it)

  • Next: Back home?

What have I learned during my trips so far?

  • If there is just one ILS there probably is a reason.
  • A 4 is not a 2 (and other silly mistakes, like E is not D, 3 is not 2 etc etc).
  • Press Swap.
  • 4 hours with a VOR in my back drops me just a few NM off course. Yay :)
  • Metar on MPmap is not the same as weather on the runway. The source is different.
  • South West China is white and very white.
  • Don't ever trust a VORTAC
  • I so hate sidewinds since I fly with a mouse.
  • If hill before RW then turn around.
  • Check mousepointer after rightclick, before yanking the mouse.
  • Retract gear, must..retract..gear..

Learjet 35-A

Working on (with Syd)

  • Redesigning the cockpit (incl.Intruments)
  • Panel placeholder ready. All textures based on a real cockpit
  • Working on buttons, lower panel. Total hell to figure out what each button does since I could not find any literature on this so I stare at vague images and read checklists hoping to find the "missing button".
  • Side panels ready, Placeholder ready, lower panels (with some fake instruments) ready.
  • Writing functional design to identify hotspots.
  • New Mesh
  • Oh wow! Syd uploaded the Mesh and merged it with my files. This looks sooo good. There is soo much to do but we have done some huge leaps. Xsaint is giving full support. Must delete my to-do list and make a complete new one. Where am I, Where do I stand? Where is Syd, where does he stand? How to move on? I'm loving this :)
  • Texture for 3 types of VSI.
  • Texture for AP, annunciators and reversers
  • Texture for primary engine indicators.

Suggested flights

Two great idea's for suggested flights for future newsletters.

sandbox

Git

  • Not with the intention to program or compile FG, since that's out of my league, but to share aircraft model and files 'n stuff. I tried to figure out what Git is, and the opening page gave me no idea what it is. Now that's odd. Most websites try to make clear what it's intended for and how it works. I suspect it's similar to FTP combined with a synchroniz(s)er. Something like push/ pull with a directory on my HD. However, I can not be sure about this since that website doesn't tell me anything, except that it will try to make my Windows machine act like a Lux CLI or sumting. We'll see if there will be a hostile take-over. Made account. Downloaded mysysgit. Downloaded ms-synctoy. Made me some containers and will now start praying....
  • Feels like a windows 3.1 shell around a file synchronizer. It is as alien as I expected it to be, but it also appears to have the functionality I expected it to have. Nice thing, it's free storage that can be shared with an identifiable group. Since it's so extremely user friendly with predictable workings I won't touch the FG containers and I won't automate anything.
