In these FS Wiki articles there is a diagram of a typical traffic pattern, along with a description of it, and there is also a description of how to enter the pattern. It should answer most of your...

In multiplayer, you hear other aircraft from the AI sounds (soundai folder) for that aircraft type, assuming you have that particular aircraft installed. Otherwise it's the default AI sounds.

From the email I received:


This will require ALL users of the software – whether registered or otherwise and using FSUIPC3 or FSUIPC4 – to need to download and install new versions.

I received an email about this a while ago, and I suspect all registered users got the email. It essentially quoted what Peter said in your link. Of course all other users need this notification. The...

Rather than actually removing those lines you could have commented them out (// at beginning of each line), making them available if you ever needed them, perhaps to change a parameter or two.

Absolutely true. The preflight walk-around, the before starting, starting, after starting/before taxi and before takeoff/runup are all separate procedures in the real world, and need...

I don't know for sure, but with the euphemisms showing up everywhere in job titles these days, I'd think it might be what we used to call line boy, that is, flight line work -- guiding aircraft to...

In my installation it's in C:\Users\Larry\Application Data\Microsoft\FSX -- a number of special files are there.

Wow! The long wing version :rolleyes::cool:

In the sim I rarely mess with aircraft startup and shutdown procedures, and I mostly need to be able to operate gear and flaps, since I don't much mess with real world scenarios or systems, or even...

You might have had better luck with a less complex, slower aircraft, such as a Cessna 172. In an airliner everything happens too fast for a novice (especially one with minimal interest in the...

I love round engines.

I expect there are more folks that like this aircraft (and your other shots) than you might think. I don't always comment, but I've thought all your shots are super, and I appreciate you sharing them...

Nice, Dan. Of course that's a different kind of speed ring, since the Stearman had one as a cowling for the engine. But there are several later (than the article above) instances of ducted...

Amen -- I've seen a lot of those situations, including National Parks, constructions sites, and much more.

Thanks for sharing the pictures and memories. Ahhh... Memory Lane...

Route? I'll take the aircraft up locally, then do some slow flight; some turns, climbs and descents, some steep turns, slips (if it is able), even some aerobatics if it's capable (most in the sim are...

Fun it is. And the results of careful planning are wonderful to have around. Enjoy.

Air to air is neat, but can be demanding. For those who've not done any such, a non-photographer pilot, formation capable, for each aircraft is mandatory, as is prearranging on the ground what is to...

My favorite air-to-air:

This was one of several I took of that Stearman in the late '70s, just east of Coronado Airport in Albuquerque (4AC, now defunct). It was a 1943 PT-13 (Boeing...

Roy,

As the others have said above, On to prime for start, then off; on for takeoff, then off; on for landing, then off; but they don't "time out," you have to switch them manually, which is...

To reinforce what rockinrobin and mgh say above, the comment operator only works for the line it is on -- every line that doesn't begin with that operator is read by the program, and if there is the...

If you already have an aircraft with the 180HP engine, you can copy its engine section, though you might need some revision on the prop section, as well, or even weight and balance. I'd want the...

While what mgh says is true, unless you know what is in the file and at which hex address and what changes to make to accomplish your purpose, you won't be able to do anything useful. And otherwise,...

I don't know of any ONE book with all that -- there's just too much stuff. But the recommendations in the posts above are excellent, especially Stick and Rudder and the FAA publications, the latter...

The reason you have more trouble hearing controllers is that the VHF frequencies used by aviation are pretty much line of sight transmission, and their radios are not high powered. As with any radio...
