Re: Frequency isolation logic is going to change

I think this is a great Idea Keith. I too find that too many pilots are stepping on each other. Two nights ago I was doing circuits at KSNA and the controller on the tower was also a departure clearance controller and so many people kept stepping on each other he was just asking for xpdr readback on...

Re: Non towered airports

Keith, yes I am familiar with the difference I was just curious if all all airports in the service area would work including the non towered. So when I take off from Bakersfield Mun. then I just need to contact the appropriate dep/app facilities once I leave the airspace to report in. :)

Non towered airports

I have a number of sceneries for non towered airports in the PE coverage area. I dont see them listed on the coverage area map. If they are not on the map is it safe to assume that the frequencies are monitored by other pilots when announcing your position? For example Bakersfield Municipal....its n...

Re: AI traffic visable, multiplayer traffic not

that would be really cool if it could work one day. I have learned to live with it but would be nice to see a fix come through. Im still happy with online flying though. I wont fly anywhere else but PE coverage areas.

Re: AI traffic visable, multiplayer traffic not

I find the floating plane thing alot mainly because I fly xplane and FSX airports are typically at a fifferent elevation due to the terrain differences. It sure would be nice one day if the networked aircraft could be calibrated in xplane to move it up or down based on the airport you are at. Like a...

Long time xplane user thinking of switching

I have been using xplane for 2 years and before that was an avid FSX user. I am very much an eye candy guy and I love all the functionality of the carenado planes for p3D like the stationair with the g1000, etc....from a vfr standpoint, what performance can I expect with p3d? I typically run xplane ...

Re: First Visual Ry02L KSNA

oh yeah, that was a good day. I called in to the controller to report wind shear on approach. I had my king air c90 crabbing in at about 45 degrees and with the throttles at about 75 percent I was able to barely keep it at my vref of 97. When I was about 200 feet of the ground the plane dropped sudd...
