Re: Class D airspace around a non towered airport?

Ok thanks Keith! If you ever consider adding coverage, KVUO is a very interesting airport for practicing. It lies within/under Portland’s Charlie airspace. Pilots communicate their departures and arrivals with a controller who actually resides just across the river at KPDX. The rest of the time they...

Re: Class D airspace around a non towered airport?

Just ran across this almost 5 year old post - and promted this question: Does PE KPDX ATC provide advisories for departures/arrivals for KVUO (Pearson) - just like in RL? I live in Vancouver and am contemplating adding the Western Expansion to my subscription. Thanks!!

Re: When to establish com with ATC prior to making full requ

Just to clarify my comment - this was not a PE limitation, but rather our decision to fly an area along the Oregon Coast of almost exclusively Class E and Class G airports. Even in the real world we weren't going to hear much activity there unless we happened along another plane in the pattern. Bott...

Re: When to establish com with ATC prior to making full requ

Thanks Keith. That does help and makes sense. By the way, my brother (real world pilot) and I have been truly enjoying PE. He is on the trial, but plans to convert to a subscription once the trial is up. We flew yesterday in a non-PE coverage area and quite frankly, we found the experience ”lacking”...

When to establish com with ATC prior to making full request?

I've been in the habit of announcing my full request upon initial contact with ATC, as that’s my understanding of how it should be done. In fact, on more than one occasion I've overheard ATC instruct a pilot to say their request all at once, so as to eliminate unnecessary calls. However, when flying...

Re: X-plane 11, PE, Wingx and ADS-B

Hi Keith - I have no idea - but I will send a support request to Wingx and let you know what they say. Thanks!

X-plane 11, PE, Wingx and ADS-B

My brother is a real world pilot and currently on a trial subscription to PE. He’s a Wingx subscriber and we are trying to get ADS-B to show PE traffic in Wingx, much the same as I’ve been able to do with the FlyQ 3.0 EFB (and others have for FF). So far we’ve been unsuccessful. Using the settings I...

X-Plane 11, PE, FlyQ and ADS-B

Greetings! FlyQ recently went through a major update (3.0) and I have really been enjoying using it with x-plane 11. If you’re a student pilot, you can get your first year VFR subscription for only $20, making it a pretty good bang for the buck too! (Btw, I’m in no way affiliated with the developer)...
