That was fun. I enjoyed hearing all the traffic & the controller handled it really well I'm kicking myself for nicking the 40/100 Class B, but I'm still getting familiar with LA.

I do seem to have a better time seeing traffic at night. Next time I'll have to pick a lower altitude or check my settings.

It was awesome.

Yes, did not show me on live map but it is not that important for me, ATC interaction was great and important.

Cheers, AJ

I can't see traffic in the day either... I just turn on labels. Maybe it's cheating but I find planes easier to see in real life....

Live map inop?

I saw several airplanes while flying, the label helps but I could see the airplane. On the ground a few were deep "down zero level". Funny to see the prop shovelling dirt! I guess it has something to do with xPlane? I use FSX. I took several pics. I will try to publish them tomorrow.

Definitely a lot of fun, great to hear all that traffic! Reminded me of the the real world around the Seattle area.

Had a fun little altitude excursion (and got called on it!) when the plane went into an uncommanded dive. Turns out that there's a "runaway elevator trim" malfunction in the X-Plane equipment-malfunctions that can really ruin your day...

Range setting in SQB? IIRC from VATSIM days, there was one in there.
