How to best approach Bravo airports when VFR?
Hi everyone, I'm preparing my CAT-11 rating and planning my arrival at SAN. Initially, I would expect that – as a VFR flight - I could just approach the Bravo from whatever direction and whatever altitude, contact App in time to announce my intention to land, receive clearance to enter the Bravo, an...

When cleared own nav after Bravo transition? (CAT-10)
Hi fellow aviators, I passed the CAT-10 yesterday and much appreciated the clear ATC service throughout. However, I received an instruction/comment by the controller enroute that I do not quite fully understand yet ... On my way back from VNY to SNA, beyond the LAX VOR, nearing the Vincent Thomas Br...

Contact App or Tower?
Hello everyone, Today I flew VFR to BUR coming out north from the LAX mini-route. I contacted Socal App (124.6) first, as instructed on the sectional, and expected to be handed off to BUR tower next when nearer to BUR. However, the app controller told me on initial contact that – if I did not need F...

Must-have airport scenery by GPB500 for SoCal
Hi fellow aviators, It might just be me, but I only recently found out about GPB500's donation-ware airport scenery for SoCal in X-Plane :p I used his free software from the .org for some time, but apparently he also offers a premium airport package, including more than a dozen high detailed airport...

Re: Western US Upgrade v2 Roadmap
Great news :-) Curious about what Western expansion flyers, who are new to VFR/IFR flying and have no ZLA access, will have for the CAT ratings as a substitute for training. The Western expansion standalone product might isolate customers from the CATs/I's, or not? Will the present CAT/I-ratings be ...

Video: Taught my girlfriend to fly the CAT-3 in one day
Hi fellow aviators, Yesterday I tempted my girlfriend to learn to pass the CAT-3 (patterns) in just one day, on-stream. She had virtually no prior knowledge nor prior experience with flying but, to my surprise, apparently has been considering to learn to fly herself for some time. I love to nurture ...

Re: X-Plane 11.01r1 with OBS: 30fps drop
Thanks, guys. Update 1: Narrowed down the issue and found the solution. If I run spad.next (third-party driver app for Saitek panels), XP11 and OBS work great together with no fps loss. When I close spad.next, after 2 seconds, I see the 30fps drop. However, this result suggest that OBS and my defaul...

Logged on to PE after dinner to spot departing and arriving airplanes at KPSP. Some pics I made at the airport fence (and beyond)
PS. Next time, I'll join you all

X-Plane 11.01r1 with OBS: 30fps drop
Hi everyone, Just updated to 11.01r1 and experience a massive fps drop (60fps to 25fps) when running XP with OBS (streaming software). Also, the OBS capture now stutters (even offline, without streaming to Twitch), making it impossible to stream (OBS indicates CPU usage of only 0.5%). The only thing...
