Re: VHF Distortion

If you check out UniversRadio or Simple Radio that are used in DCS mulitplayer. You will hear a radio effect but the transmission is crystal clear. A similar plugin would add a dimension of realism. There must be a way to make it optional for those wanting no effect whatsoever. https://www.youtube.c...

Re: For real ? ATC are allowed to treat pilot like that ?

I've found the controllers to be excellent. Whenever I've heard them correct someone, including myself, they couldn't have been more professional. There have been times when they bordered on being overwhelmed. However I was always amazed at their ability to juggle everything without jumping out a wi...

LOST COMMS

Recently I've been having issues regarding not receiving comms lately. Tonight, I attempted an IFR flight from KSNA to KSDM. I received clearance and taxi to 20R (from Keith). So far so good....until I attempted to contact tower (126.8). No comms whatsoever. I quadrupled checked by tower frequency a...

Re: SkyMaxx Pro worth it?

I have both xEnviro and SM4. I'm using xEnviro exclusively now mainly because of the horizon to horizon coverage and variety of cloud formations. The 2D textures haven't been a deal killer for me but I can understand that those that spend a good deal of time with external views may have a gripe or t...

Re: Lost Comms in X-Plane 10.5

I've had issues similar to Jon. Lately, while preparing on the ramp, I've had to disconnect/reconnect a few times in order to establish comms. I didn't have that problem until recently. I've been flying on PE since the middle of December and strictly using XP11.

Re: EVGA GTX 1050Ti SC for $149.99 at Amazon

Take a look at xEnviro. Don't let the price turn you off, it takes the place of Real Weather Connector as well...so it's two pieces of software. It's much more realistic in that you can get what appears to be horizon to horizon coverage rather than the bubble of clouds that surround you with Skymaxx.
