I would say that this pilot was lucky to face such light traffic!

The city looks kind of wet?

There certainly have been many interesting attempts, but none have yet progressed to mass production!

 

PS: I like your pink flight suit!

I think I would call it a flying scooter!

. . . in which they can mess up a routine update.

 

Installed WU X (USA) and took off from my home KDCA. The DC Mall was completely messed up, a geometric pattern instead of the grass, and the Kennedy Center was missing entirely. So shut down, went to my Community Folder, and removed the freeware Washington Landmarks from Drizewswicki designs. I thought there might be a conflict.

 

Reopened, and went back to KDCA and took off. Same thing! The add-on apparently had nothing to do with it.

 

Any suggestions? Seems to me the update screwed up what was there before.

 

 

I have Washington Landmarks from Drizewswicki (Payware) installed in the Community folder. After installing Update X the sim stopped loading before the setup screen came up. I went back and removed Washington Landmarks from the Community folder, and the sim started and ran normally. I guess we now have to wait for a combatibility update for the Landmarks!

I always enjoy your videos, they are informative and very well edited. Keep them coming!

I think it can be a dream until you find yourself in that situation. :)

 

However, he was IMO very lucky to have the help of a flight controller who was also a certified flight instructor!

Here is an interview with the "Instant Pilot" who did so well.

Here is some more info on the event from the Washington Post:

Maybe they will come out with a queen-sized version? :)

- and you don't even have to be a flightsimmer.

Beautiful flight, but I would hate to work at that Observatory and have to drive there up and down! :)

H-m-m-m I've got a bed that can do that! :)

Only in the simulator I hope! (:

Very interesting! I am impressed both by your video work and by the MSFS presentation - the sim is more accurate than I expected.

Funny - the picture of the blue and yellow Link Trainer suddenly reminded me that I had the chance to "fly" one in 1946 at a post-war RAF display in Copenhagen probably in 1946. I was around 12 years old, but I think that experience seeded my following interest in aviation and flight simulation. Thanks for posting it!

The sim-contained aircraft are listed in the "Official" folder next to the "Community" folder.

Well - it turns out that I was wrong. The Rolling Cache is kept on disc - not in RAM. The program tells me that I have 177 GIB free on the SSD, so that gives me no reason for the crash I experienced by increasing it from 10 to 16 GIB. Sorry!

Believe me or not - I have never before had a single in-fligt crash since first buying MSFS in 2020. But a week ago it happened 2 minutes after takeoff. I realized that I had just tried to switch Rolling Cache Limit from 10 GIB to 16 GIB. However, I only have 16 GIB of RAM, and I realized the Rolling Cache cannot use all the memory leaving nothing for other program functions, so I set it back to 10GIB and everything is fine again.

 

This tidbit may have nothing whatsoever to do with your problem, but it might be worth checking. Go to: "General Options, Data, Rolling Cache Settings, Rolling Cache Limit (GIB)". This type of problem may be caused by the computer, but I believe it is more likely caused by the COMBINATION of all the program settings.

No solutions so far, but I got an answer from Aeroworks stating that I should make sure that the separate throttle was listed as "Joystick One". I have no idea how to do that or what it means - anyone knows?

Well - things are looking up. I went to the Flyinside website and - lo and behold - they have a downloadable User Manual. From that I learned that you can bring up the menu by switching a button on the Heli panel. I de- and reinstalled the Heli, and it now loads a flight in 50 seconds (the file is actually 7.45GB on disk) allowing me to switch the difficulty back to "Easy", which is flyable. How anybody can control it using "Realistic" is beyond me. Thanks for your interest and good luck with yours.

Hi Steve

 

You are right. When I bought the Heli it was an earlier version that I could fly on a medium setting. My problem started with the latest version. When I programmed a flight and pushed the Fly button, nothing more happened and I thought the program loading had stalled. Then the other day I tried to load a flight again, but got distracted for about 15 minutes and when I came back the Heli was on the runway ready to go. However, a message came up asking me to choose some settings, but it did not respond at all, and it was set at "Normal". I tried to take off, but it was completely uncontrollable, and I ended upside down on the runway. I guess I will try to un- and reinstall again, but I can't think of what else to try - my controls work just fine with the other planes.

 

It is a large file over one GB and the loading time is unacceptible. How long does yours take from the time you initiate a flight? Mine must have been at least 10 minutes.
