For now, I only fly VR in VFR. However, if you run the Oculus home in BETA mode, there is a feature that lets you put windows up inside your view and you can place them wherever you like. There is a video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xem3Pz9ib_U) from BambinoGames that shows you how. It's old b...

Just got my oculus rift in last week. I purchased it mostly for iRacing and other games but can't wait to try it out on x-plane. But for those of you that have or currently use VR, what tips do you have? My major concern is about charts. It's pretty easy to use them with my triple monitor setup but ...

Maybe I'm a nerd, but I thoroughly enjoyed the Pilotedge Training Workshops. Scroll to the bottom and work your way up: https://www.pilotedge.net/workshops I suppose you could start with the IFR stuff and come back to VFR but I personally think your experience will be better if you do VFR first. Thi...

At most airports I don't know the difference. But at some airports XP11 has Atlantic and Signature FBOs listed as spawn locations. I'll typically use one of those and use that as my location since it adds a touch of realism.

Just a thought... With respect to pilot deviations, navigation accuracy, and obstacle clearance, radials/airways are typically 4 miles wide, sometimes more. Even RNAV routes can be up to 4 miles wide. If you are on a bravo VFR transition, don't be afraid to maneuver laterally as needed to remain cl...

Shame you've had no reply to this question - it happened to me, and I took the pragmatic sim option of going IMC for a while, but feeling very uncomfortable, even though it was a sim - I didn't know what to do for the best? Any thoughts from others - it must happen in the real world on occasion? Eu...

Doing a flight from VNY to SNA last night. Weather was good VFR conditions (or so I thought) and I was sort of cramped with time so I decided to go VFR and take the Mini Route southbound. While I was on the SMO128 some clouds came in pretty much directly over LAX. I wasn't really sure what the appro...

Looks like FltPlanGo doesn't work on my Android device with XP11 and others have reported the same issue.

I might try to join in if you promise not to laugh at my bad piloting skills.

Still confused about departing an airport with a SID. If the SID specifies a heading from the airport, and then a turn to another heading at a certain altitude, say 5000 ft, does the pilot automatically make that turn at 5000, or does the pilot wait for ATC to direct the turn from the original head...
