Re: X-Plane 10 scenery - stock vs HD mesh with g2xpl texture

Wow, how are you getting those frame rates? I have 12 GB RAM, Core i7 Haswell, and an Nvidia 980 and I'm lucky to get 30 fps! You're getting 103, 87, and 106 fps with a bunch of high-res textures loaded...

Re: Can the PE plugin broadcast traffic to an entire subnet?

No, that's not exactly what I'm asking. X-Plane has two modes for transmitting AHRS data: 1. Transmit directly to a single iPad via that device's IP address, or 2. Transmit to all iPads on a given subnet. Based on the configuration page you referenced, the PE client definitely supports transmitting ...

Can the PE plugin broadcast traffic to an entire subnet?

X-Plane can broadcast simulated AHRS data to an entire subnet, so that everybody on that subnet can view your aircraft's simulated position. Can the PE client be set up to do the same for traffic, so all the iPads on the subnet can see PE's traffic on ForeFlight?

Thanks,
Mike

Ah ... so the arrows indicate eastbound/westbound and not east-of-fix/west-of-fix. Duh! Got it now.

Is this answer right?

I'm studying for the IFR knowledge test using Sporty's online course. I came across an answer that seems correct to me, but Sporty's says it is incorrect. Here is the question: Capture1.PNG Here is the portion of the chart being referenced: Capture2.PNG Note that the question specifically asks for t...

Re: pilotedge.net top navigation not tablet-friendly

I just tried it on my iPad mini and it worked ok there. The menu stayed open after I lifted my finger.

Re: pilotedge.net top navigation not tablet-friendly

I was using the metro (full-screen) version of IE 11.

I just tried it on my Windows Phone IE 11 and it didn't work there either.

If you tap it with your finger the menu does open, but as soon as you lift your finger to tap a link it closes again.

pilotedge.net top navigation not tablet-friendly

Just a friendly heads-up to the pilotedge.net webmaster... I was trying to navigate the site on my Windows 8.1 tablet last night and I found that the top navigation bar on the pilotedge.net home page was not "touch-friendly." The menu requires the mouse to hover over it to appear, but ther...

Re: What headsets are you using?

I finally found a solution: I picked up a Microsoft LifeChat LX-3000. USB connection, passive noise cancellation on the mic, it seems to work fine with PE, and it only cost $20. Problem solved!
