Re: KDEN runway assignments

Personally I start with this... http://myflightroute.com/craft.php?start=KDEN&end=

Along with the obvious of pulling the METAR I also look at the Live map and see what is happening.

Re: Flying in the Expanded Region Question

Keith I have been watching the issue unfold and I have to say opening up to the point your talking is going to be a really awesome enhancement. It literally opens up the entire area for all types of flights. I suppose the more difficult part is for all pilots to fully understand the difference, perh...

Re: Approaches into KABQ with Outdated XPlane GPS data

Perhaps Peter can clarify if it is LEGAL to shoot an ILS with GPS required if your GPS database is out of date.

Re: X Plane 11

I can only imagine that this lack in granularity of settings is to control the variables in the Beta stage, I suspect we will see them all return in the release version...perhaps by way of an "advanced" tab.

Re: Western Expansion Drones?

One can only hope that this continues to scale up... There is a limited available user base therefore a limited business model to support continued growth but we can only hope the field of dreams concept of "build it and they will come" works in this case. For now we have a serious amount ...

Re: Western US Expansion Launch: Dec 27

Not every service is meant for every customer. I am a mere pixel pilot, my personal attraction to PE was and is the fidelity to real world as I personally like the challenge and the binary understanding from correct and not correct. That is the value to this guy...expansion allows me to broaden that...

Re: GPS issues in June in Socal

Just to be fair it was more of a tongue in cheek comment....yes PE can do failures but only for certain Aircraft and systems and certainly only when the pilot is in on it.

Man what a buzzkill :mrgreen:

Re: GPS issues in June in Socal

Got that msg on my ForeFlight, maybe the best way to model it is to have PE fail any GPS or live map integration... :twisted:
