Re: American 2442 Pilot Deviation

Hi Bob I fly the 717 from time to time in P3dV4 and have not experienced problems since the V4 version became available. Presume you have tried turning down settings, clouds, and their Trueglass and the other special feature (memory slips me)? I had very poor framerates when this came out (before V...

Re: American 2442 Pilot Deviation

That's why I fly planes, not program them. :) It would be extremely unrealistic to hand fly airliners. I always go manual on final and takeoff, except in heavy fog, but I like to stick to SOPs as much as possible especially on Pilotedge. If I'm flying GA, I will hand-fly more. This problem has noth...

Re: American 2442 Pilot Deviation

What you're saying sounds very good and very smart, but when your sim is going on long pauses at the same time your aircraft simulation is failing, it is easier said than done. I'm not talking about legitimate aircraft failures here, like the exciting failures built into the PMDG NGX. I'm talking ab...

American 2442 Pilot Deviation

Hello, I just wanted to say that I was having problems today with the TFDi 717 simulation when on the HAWKZ6 arrival to KSEA. It was running smooth and flying fine. As soon as I switched runways in the STAR page of the FMC, the aircraft started to go the opposite way. I had to take over with HDG SEL...

Re: Did I Get Booted?

What really frustrated me is that I have never lost a connection with Pilotedge and not be able to reconnect right away. When I pushed the connect button nothing happened, like if I was locked out. I should have tried to connect after shutting down X-Plane to see if something happened to the plugin....

Did I Get Booted?

I was doing a really nice flight in X-Plane 11 with the FFA320 from KLAX to KDEN and had to go missed because I was too high to land. The controller vectored me back around to the ILS for 35L and just as I was capturing the ILS I hear a women's voice say "Disconnected". Right away, I tried...

Re: PE Virtual Airlines?

Hey Guys, I just joined American Airlines Virtual and they give online credit for flying on Pilotedge and have it as an online option on their company ACARs. I've only been a member for a few days, but it seems like a very large and organized VA that has been around for a while. http://aavirtual.net/
