CAT 1 - Questions/Issues

I just did the CAT 1 from L52 to L88 and I have some questions: 1 - When I was in the pattern at L88 there was another AC on the CTAF. After I landed he departed and I could hear his radio calls but not see his AC? I'm running P3D v4.3 and I have Traffic set to zero. I would have expected to see the...

IFR Weather

I'm planning on starting to go through the I ratings and have a question regarding weather. As I understand PE uses real world weather when they report winds and altimeter setting. I have Active Sky Next so my sim weather should be pretty close to the PE system weather. For the I ratings is it recom...

Re: IFR Aircraft Advice

Thanks for the advice. I've been flying the C182. I've removed the GPS and have been using the VORs etc. Here is the question I have now.

I have the A2A C182 and the Real Air TurbineDuke and also the GTN 750. I'm looking for some advice on which might be the bet...

Re: My Only Wish

Good suggestions which I hadn't thought of. As I said in my OP I'm hooked on the PE experience so our feelings are similar. The cake is there but my wish was for a bit of icing :) I'm going to try the focus fields today, cheers!
