Re: First PE flight

I realised I there was another surprise. I am a UK light aircraft private pilot (a bit rusty one).

Re: First PE flight

Thank you for your reply. Actually I found in xplane 11 that despite following all that the engine sound drowns out the controller in flight, I had to go to xplane 11 sounds menu and turn the " external aircraft" sound slider to about 20% to get a good balance. I am disappointed to read yo...
