Re: High level of FPS fluctuation + stutter while connected

The problem seems to be non-deterministic in nature. I tried yesterday and was successful without changing anything, that is until I disconnected and reconnected (I changed my tail number on the connect screen without placing a 'N' prefix so I recycled the connection to remedy the issue after ATC al...

High level of FPS fluctuation + stutter while connected

I uploaded a video of the phenomenon on YT. What it shows is a much lower variance of FPS when disconnected and high variance (left tail) while connected. The visual result is a very noticeable degree of stutter. I showed myself banking near the end both connected and disconnected to illustrate the ...

Practicing IFR approaches on a VFR flight

Obviously IRL this is done with a safety pilot, but is this possible to accomplish in PE assuming the network is not super busy? If so, how would one go about it (e.g. contacting approach controller on designated plate?)

Re: Practicing STARs?

Understood. I guess what I meant to say is that I currently fly VFR in the SE region. I am based out of Raleigh, NC and expand out to a range of 200NM, mostly to the South and Southwest. If I continue towards my IR, I don't imagine my mission changing radically from that other than maybe going furth...

Re: Practicing STARs?

I'm looking to fly GA primarily. I'm in the early stages of working towards my instrument rating on either a Skyhawk or Warrior and would like to work on procedures that are relevant to my area (East Coast). TEC routes aren't prevalent here, and I am typically assigned a TEC route rather than a STAR...

Practicing STARs?

Since many of the routes within the core LA region are covered by TEC routes, how does one practice STARs? LAS is one possibility and of course it's in the I-5, but was wondering if there are other alternative (shorter) flights to practice that some could suggest? Also, how does one go about finding...
