Re: Engine Failure During my I-6 Checkride

So, I have NO IDEA why I had lost about 1500RPM. It can`t be induction icing because I was in VMC and OAT was way above freezing. I don`t think I lost a mag, because I lost way too much RPM than a mag failure would cause. And I don`t think it was my error, because when I lost power, I immediately w...

Re: Traffic

Thanks Keith! I knew there was no easy way out of the elevation issue. It truly is something I can live with though. Maybe someone could develop a "best practices" recommendation, to try and minimize the differences (at least on the same sim platform). And your explanation of how P3D "...

Re: Traffic

We often talk about the immersion breaking in the sim. For me, this is a biggie. I'm in the middle of swaping from P3D to XP11, and would like to stay as "standard" as possible. So... 1) What are people doing that causes the elevation difference (is it custom scenery, ortho, etc?) And 2) W...

Re: FBOs with assignments within PE coverage area

Looking for some help to get supplies from KSEE into 04CL and CA76 if anyone is looking to make some short hops. I've temporarily pointed these to KSEE so there are some passenger jobs available that can be mixed with the freight. My shiny new Stationair is about 30 minutes from KSEE (at KTRM). I'l...
