I don't know where you read that, but it's completely wrong. Only under certain circumstances is update of Client-only deemed necessary. Even the P3d v4.5 Hotfix, which ostensibly only needs the Client update, lists the changes made when both Content and Scenery are also updated: So you haven't even done a Hotfix update correctly...
-
Apparently the Prepar3d .cfg MUST be deleted for the Hotfix - it introduces a new line entry. I will probably not get round to this until the weekend - got several systems to update. Might do mine if I get time but I didn't have any problems with base 4.5 anyway!

Surprised? I know I am! https://www.prepar3d.com/news/2019/05/115307/

This is why you need a VC! If you look at the VC with a camera adjustment, that is the correct layout: The cockpit coaming `outboard` is shaped like that in real life. Try search Google images for 737 cockpit if you don't believe me.

Oh! and they were voted worst short-haul carrier - for the sixth year running - by the Which magazine survey !!!! https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-46761330 Latest logo should be: "New year, New sale, Same old crap"

Ryanair cancelled more than 20,000 flights in 2017/18 https://www.reuters.com/article/us-ryanair-cancellations-breakingviews/breakingviews-ryanairs-cheapskate-reputation-is-its-best-asset-idUSKCN1C41K9 Says it all! I have never flown on a Ryanair passenger flight, and I never will. Still safer than just about any Russian airline, though...
-
You clearly haven't flown with the airline? Ryanair are loved and loathed in about-equal measure: On the one hand they popularised bucket-price flights and cheap access to European destinations. But on the other they treat pax as cattle-class, have hidden charges all over the place - and their relationship with staff is the worst in the industry... which perhaps explains the rude employees!
-
No. I don't know how to be more precise and accurate than that. UnSavory tried and failed. So will you. That is all...

Ways to increase FPS in FSX???
mallcott replied to TheAviationEnthusiast's topic in FSX General Discussion
Simple. Buy a faster computer. What are your specs? It really is as obvious as that. Most of the perceived speed of the game are simply numbers, irrelevant for real gameplay. It's not a lightning-fast shoot-em-up, and most tweaks wont work. Why have you applied tweaks? What have you tweaked? Why have you tweaked? -
Older generation airliners then: The 747 has a split rudder, designed expressly to reduce force input possible and allow a degree of rudder compensation for out-of-trim forces A300 has had an Airworthiness Directive designed to limit rudder application following a fatal crash of an aircraft in 2001. You can look both these up online if you want further information. More modern airliners have fly-by-wire with completely different control laws.
-
To add to the above, rudder is rarely required for Gyroplanes to manage a co-ordinated turn. Small GA will always require some `footwork` to balance a turn. Heavy GA often need leading with rudder, while swept-wing jets rarely need much rudder for co-ordination. Perhaps you could expand on what you view as an `airliner`? If you mean modern jets, then the yaw damper usually allows the pilot to keep their feet more-or-less on the floor. Try the same with a Dash-8 400 and the aircraft will spin into the scenery - 4,800hp a-side will do that to you. Historic aircraft usually require some - or much - rudder. There is no generic `one-size fits all` answer to your question.
-
No. Generally (and it varies from aircraft to aircraft and type) the pilot is expected to apply rudder to compensate for adverse yaw caused by ailerons. Where you have been confused is with the Yaw Damper which is found in aircraft with swept wings, and which compensates for Dutch Roll. You can look those terms up on Google.

Well. if intelligence is the yardstick, Lockheed Martin have fallen on their policing sword and let way too many people in without enforcing the EUL. But I haven't heard too many complaints from real-world users- none of whom seem to have anything beyond fond memories of FSX and FS2004, while axing them from the hard drive or SSD in favour of later versions of P3D. In our flying club there are plenty of users for P3D (and, it must be said, X-Plane 64-bit). Those I have heard whining from almost always tended to be victims of their own misfortune. So if you do commit to FSX or FS2004, do not attempt to install addons intended for those sims to P3Dv4+ and just accept that, while neither are truly dead, they are slowly dying.
-
As good as P3D? Apart from the OOM; the absence of PBR and the other advances, you mean?
-
The sim can only recognise one GPU at a time. Delete the `basic render` one and its related Mode that should fix it. You should also delete the contents of the temporary shader folder to ensure the shaders are from the Nividia card. Do NOT delete the shaders folder called ShadersHLSL or modify any of its contents.
-
Show full contents of .cfg Open NVidia Settings menu and give us the driver version. Open the Help window - system information - driver version.
-
Obviously, the card is not being recognised. Is the laptop setup to ignore any inbuilt graphics and favour the GTX 1070? What does the FSX .cfg say under Display.devices? is there only a single entry in the .cfg?
-
Yes, Win10 updates may or may not require a prior update (`an-update-to-an-update`) to run properly. Installing in the wrong order or in a rush is among the most likely reasons for an unstable OS.
-
True, true. When d'ya think our OP will wake up to the fact that W10 updates are neither instant, nor immediate? They are cumulative, and dependant on what went before. It takes days to install Win 10 to current levels...
-
Yes the two are, and should, be mutually exclusive. Decide what you want to do, and stick with it. There really is no place for watching videos while flying - simulated or real!
-
Yes.
-
Probably not, but you can try and see. Bell have a very protective approach to their copyright. https://www.helisimmer.com/tag/bell-429/ lists all current and future projects
-
It's one of severa; problems that have occurred because you've installed something for P3D not intended for P3D. So. UNinstall the addon you should never have installed in the first place, or re-run the installation until you overwrite what you should never have overwritten in the first place.

It's a victim of Jordans loss of interest, becoming increasingly apparent in recent months... Dont expect it back any time soon. It is, as the expression goes, no Moore!

Yes, unlike the 748, the Andover DOES have thrust reversers. Reading the instructions is NOT optional. The Dart operates unlike any more modern turboprop.
