Re: ZOA?

Ah, that's a bummer; I was just starting to enjoy my new Tom Curtis bay area scenery while on PE. Just throwing this out there, but what about mixing things up a bit and making some days all-ZLA and others all-ZOA? I've actually thought about asking this question before but in regards to other busy ...

Re: Never again on PE - share your mistakes

Here's a real dumb one. I checked the focus fields last night and saw KTOA/KRIV and planned a VFR flight accordingly. A few minutes after passing the PDZ VOR, SoCal APP told me to contact tower. "Hm", I thought, "I'm a little far out to call TWR already but okay". I called up 127...

Re: [Feb 9] Surf's Up Santa Barbara

Me too. I haven't been on PE much lately, hopefully I can get away from work tonight and join you guys.

Late notice, but can anyone point me toward scenery for either airport? The KSBA scenery I downloaded from the ORG is way off.

Re: Quiet ATC?

Yeah, just heard one of my flights from today (right at the beginning of 16:00 local). Sounds fine now, but from my end it was just barely audible at the time.

Re: Quiet ATC?

Everything sounds normal to me on the recordings. I was just wondering if it was an input issue from your guys' end since, as I mentioned, the ATC volume changes without me changing any system settings. Sometimes even in the middle of a flight.

Quiet ATC?

Has anything changed on PE's end with the audio? The past 3 days in a row, controller volume has been so quiet I can barely hear them even with my engine/ambient sounds turned all the way down. Maybe it's on my end, but I haven't changed any settings on my system. Being that I use a Mac with a USB e...

Re: Free Scenery for PilotEdge users

Just uploaded scenery for KTSP Tehachapi Muni at the org. Neat area between Edwards AFB and Bakersfield.

Re: ATC audio being recorded

This is a great learning resource. I'll admit I was the Mooney who made the erroneous call to Pt Mugu App at 12:20. I actually thought I was calling KNSI twr but simply got the freqs swapped (126.85 vs 128.65). Oops. Need to be more careful on the frequencies and no more calling military towers.

Re: Approach to KONT

I'll attempt a quick answer, though I'm a relative rookie myself. Chino's Delta airspace goes up to 2700' MSL as seen on the TAC chart in the training video. See the "[-27]" in the example below: http://i563.photobucket.com/albums/ss76/sincenbc/ChinoDeltaCeiling.jpg You must stay above tha...

Re: Xplane plugin v0.7.1 released

Any Mac news? I just got another crash last night in the middle of a long-ish flight when my connection to PE dropped and I tried to re-connect. Rather annoying.
