The A2A Simulations Community

The Comanche never really did it for me in P3D, I think it was the only A2A plane I didn't get. But MSFS has changed how I sim, now it's all about low and slow enough to enjoy the scenery and I'm really looking forward to getting in in MSFS

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but the coincidence is too good ... I just finished watching that video on youtube - yes, the whole thing :D :D - and now I'm looking for the sextant (which I had but never got into with fsx) and googling about whether it will work in P3D - and this thread was the f...

Huge thanks to Dreamsofwings for the introduction to the Spitfire series of videos, warbirds have always scared the heck out of me and study level planes that bite if you get them wrong have always scared the heck out of me so I was more than a bit nervous loading up my shiny new MkII Spit and follo...

but really the start sequence is so wonderfully modeled you'll be doing them yourself anyways (and it's one of the big features of this product... why wouldn't you do it?) The FE basically keeps the aircraft and engine systems from getting out of limits after engine start. Oh cool. In every video I...

Disclaimer : I bought the Connie about 2 minutes ago and haven't even downloaded it yet, this may be completely obvious when I actually try to fly it ... I watched Captain Mac's full flight tutorial where he couldn't make the FE start the engines, and I'm pretty sure (although it was 4am when I watc...

I have good memories of this plane from FSX and I picked it up a couple of days ago for P3D almost entirely because of Bruce's video tour :) Stumbled across this topic while I was trying to find out why I haven't managed to land it in P3D yet without ground looping (I think I'm dropping the tailwhee...

Not sure whether to thank you or not Lewis, i was humming and haaing about adding the P51 Civ to my collection and hearing that the sale will end in a coup0le of days ... Oh well so that's five I picked up in this sale :oops: :oops: At least I will have no regrets about missing it, and there's nothi...

Thank you ! It got to the end of Dec 23 down here in NZ and I was resigned to waiting for the next holiday that's more or less a global one to see if you had a sale then, it was a wonderful early christmas present to start Christmas Eve by finding you had a really good sale going on :) Closely follo...

The FD will command pitch attitude, not vertical speed. A subtle but very important difference. Initial engagement of the FD captures the current pitch angle, not any particular vertical speed. You'd be engaging the FD in the air after takeoff, not on the ground . I don't remember there was a go-ar...

I don't have the sim computer with me but I do have the V35 manual - always a bad combination - and I've been trying to work out how to correctly use the autopilot. I can make it do what I want eventually but I'd like to do it properly so I've been RingTFM :) Assuming I want to take off then pick up...

I have a weird thing going on, I'll be happily flying along in the Bonanza then at some random point the camera will change to an external view and the gear will be down, the gear will start to retract then extend again, then the scenario resets to the default (not the Bonanza this time :) ). When I...

Actually I think you're right about me having made that the default - I just loaded up a random alabeo plane at a random airport then reset the scenario and suddenly I was in N228Q at my local airport. So I changed it to the F-22 and moved it to Eglin and saved *that* as the default flight, now I ca...

I think just the free flight menu as I've never messed with the default flight, N228Q is already selected a lot of the time but that could be because it's what was selected when the sim crashed last time I tried to load it ? A few times (in other flights) I've reset the flight and ended up in a jet ...

When I start P3D if I have N228Q selected as the vehicle the sim closes as soon as the loading scenery progress bar appears. Changing the location doesn't make any difference, all the other Bonanzas are fine, and if I start up with any other plane I can change to N228Q once the sim has loaded with n...

Well I'm glad I found this thread, it has answered one question and probably two. I noticed last night that my rudder pedals were making my yoke roll - I don't normally have the yoke showing so that was a surprise and I spent a good hour trying to work out what the heck my rudder pedals were playing...
