X-Plane 10 still a possibility?

Hi everyone, I was just wondering if there is a possibility to still use PE with my old X-Plane 10 installation. My main simulator is the latest X-Plane 11, but sometimes when I am on the go travelling for business I only have my laptop on me. It cannot run xp11, so I am using FSX. Yet to be honest ...

Exiting Class-B transition - when to resume own nav?

Hi, yesterday Keith streamed 3 hours of him working the scope and I was fortunate enough to be online at that time. One thing that startled me a bit was that I (falsely) assumed that you have to stay on course when flying the coastal route southbound till ATC tells you to resume own nav. Apparently ...

Re: Some questions..

Hi Tom(?), I will try to answer these, even though I am still new enough myself that I am not 100% certain and would ask anybody more knowledgeable to correct me if I am wrong please! 1) Since you either said which way you want to depart to or even requested flight following the controller knows whe...

Re: Is owning FBOs worth it?

Okay, thanks for all the input. I am mostly enjoying flying small GA aircraft (Marchetti, C172, C210) and every once in a while will take a trip with my DC-3. I am spending some time on FSE planning "smart" round trips and exploring places I would otherwise not have gone to. Thats pretty m...

Re: Is owning FBOs worth it?

Thanks Keith. That's why I have no interest in farming money - that would get boring very quickly. Instead I am doing pretty much exactly what you are saying. I plan round trips with either a DC-3 or C210 - depending on my mood - and try to never fly empty. I am able to mostly fill the planes. So ye...

Is owning FBOs worth it?

Hi, I just started with FSEconomy and it seems pretty interesting. Basically I like that it makes me fly new routes and gives me something semi-meaningful to do... ;) I am not interested in farming money per se - just sounds too boring. But is it worth getting into owning one or multiple FBOs? I thi...

Re: Changes to my 172. How did this happen.

The changes you are describing happened with the X-Plane 11.30 update to the default Cessna 172. They upgraded the autopilot to make it more realistic and reflect an S-Tec 55. Biggest change is that the disconnect button for the AP moved from the actual unit to the yoke. Also, you have the trim butt...

Looks like it is fixed now. Haven't tried to log on with my callsign, but it doesn't show up on the live map anymore. I will try later...

Re: Callsign stuck online after problems

I know I can do that, which is what I did last night. It is just that it would be great if this got fixed at some point. Not only for my sake, but Keith probably doesn't want too many "ghost" panes on the network, either. Any maybe there is something I can do about this myself - just in ca...

Callsign stuck online after problems

Hi, after I had some technical difficulties yesterday and was not able to disconnect properly, but instead had to force quit X-Plane, my callsign still shows online on the live map and the PE client also does not let me connect using that callsign. It says it is already in use. Is there anything I c...
