My work means I can be away from my PC for months at a time. Does PE offer the ability to pay for individual months rather than by standing order?

Is P3D any smoother or does it perform better give. It use directx 11? I am trying to purchase addons that work with both Fsx and P3D so I can swap if required. The thing that put me off of P3D is that someone told me you had to pay for the upgrades, is this true?

A couple of friends have ordered the 1080 and they arrive tomorrow and I am very jealous! I am tempted as my aim is to move to VR once 4K 210deg+ FoV VR goggles are available and have been optimised to work on home PCs not just super computers like now. I have been playing DCS for a year and I can r...

I am now using Orbx SoCal, REX 4 with soft clouds and ASN and the environment and weather look stunning. Sadly my trackir is jerky when running at less than 60FPS and so I have had to reduce my autogen to medium and so low down I don't find the Orbx textures as nice as I expected (I wasn't overly im...

Peter, thanks for the info and the link. It would seem that VFR flight following is the same as UK traffic service where you are under radar guidance and will be provided with traffic info but resposibility for deconfliction is your responsibility. In the UK vfr traffic can request a more controlled...

Thanks Peter. Out of interest when conducting a vfr flight through class g airspace, what radar services are available and terminology is used to request them. In the UK a vfr aircraft can request 3 types of service from a LARS, basic, traffic and deconfliction. I guess it is not the same stateside!...

Ah, I was wondering why my callsign was never shortened last night!

Truthfully I haven't decided to try PE to learn US RT but rather to find the most immersive and realistic flight simulation. I use flight simulation to complement my RW flying and so I want to talk to knowledgeable and professional ATC. I looked at VATSIM but it looked like it was focused on commerc...

In reality faster aircraft would fly a slightly wider pattern or simply extend further downwind if there was a slow aircraft in the pattern.

In RW flying when I transmit, I can hear my own voice over the radio/intercom. On PE I cannot and it makes me constantly think the radio is not working or I am not transmitting correctly. Therefore is there a way to set it so I hear my own voice of the radio when transmitting?
