    DC-2 Problem.

    Exactly which DC-2 have you installed? Did you use any other addons or textures with it?

  3. On skyvector.com you can paste these routes into the flightplan and have them show up on the map. You can often guess what a waypoint is by it's length. Three letter: VORs and NDBs Four letter: Airport Five letters: Intersections Often the route will not list every single waypoint but shorten it to a continuous piece of an airway. These will be things with one or two letters and a number. At the beginning and end of a route there may be a STAR or SID. These will be named after the airport or navaid that they are linked to and will end with some kind of identifier (...1C, ...2Y) Also look for (pdf) charts for your departure and destination. These will contain the SIDs, STARs and approach procedures for the airport. For example: EGGD - LFMP EXMO1Z EXMOR N864 BHD N862 SKESO UN90 BASIK UN26 KORER UM616 USODA UM184 CNA UN863 SECHE UT24 GAI G36 ORBIL ORBIL2 After takeoff from EGGD fly the EXMO1Z SID, which will bring you to the EXMOR intersection. Then you follow the N864 airway until the VOR BHD. There you turn onto airway N862 until intersection SKESO. ... airway UN90 untill BASIK ... airway UN26 untill KORER ... airway UM616 untill USODA ... airway UM184 untill CNA ... airway UN863 untill SECHE ... airway UT24 untill GAI ... airway G36 untill ORBIL Then you fly the STAR ORBIL2 which will take you to an initial approach fix for one LFMP's approaches.
  4. Yes, not being able to use their favorite addon could be a reason for some people not to get the new sim and wait until the developer brings it out for FS2020. And a lack of enthousiasm from players coul keep developers from converting. (chicken egg) Implementing a compatibility mode could convince these people to make the switch. But this could come with it's own problems. For example, can Asobo legally use FSX code, given that Microsoft sold it to Lockheed Martin? And what about addons made for P3D that don't work in FSX? What if the compatibility mode introduces it's own bugs? Or not all addons work in it?
  5. Actually, it IS that simple. If you want the real deal, set all sliders to full and turn off all aids. Why worry about how others use the game?
  6. I guess so. But does Windows see your X45?
  7. So is this the same as with FS9/FSX on their release? A promising platform for addons but with mediocre default content?
  8. Why the disdain for gamers? One of the things to do with a simulator is to explore what an aircraft can do and where it's limits are. And like Elvensmith said, if 10k fpm is outrageous then the flightmodel should limit this, not the pilot.
  9. I can think of some areas where addon scenery can be desired: -More extra quality airports. -Landmarks that the AI didn't include or didn't do well. -Areas where Bing has lower quality or is outdated. -Historical and hypothetical scenery. I wonder if Microsoft will be updating the standard scenery. Will we see gradual improvements to things that are not covered as well? Will we see changes in the real world in the sim as well?
  10. That really depends on how they implemented the panel. In FS9/FSX the 3D cockpit could have many boxes fit for one particular gauge (making modding difficult) but also offer one big panel where gauges can be placed freely. (as on the 2D panel) This could be done for detailed 3D gauges as well. Where a 2D gauge would be built from stock bitmaps a 3D gauge could be built from stock 3D objects. And where a text file would detail how gauges are placed on a 2D panel it could also detail how gauges are placed in a 3D space. of course, we don't know what will be possible in the new sim. And FS9/FSX addons had both very beautiful and very ugly panels and gauges. It really depends on wether a designer is willing to put in time and effort or has access to good materials.
  11. The old MSFS was quite moddable and anyone who had notepad on his PC could make changes to a panel. I wonder if this is the case for FS2020 as well. If they made the panel and instruments separate entities from the 3D cockpit and aircraft model then this may be possible.
  12. In the long run FS2020 would likely be the best choice. But much is still unknown and it has has not proven itself publicly yet. We also don't know how long it will take developers like PMDG to come up with an addon that meets your standards. P3D's (or Xplane's, or FSX's) qualities are known. And al lot of addons are available now. But they are older simulators and may not improve more. So if you need something quick one of these would be your choice. But that could mean having to pay twice or skip FS2020 for a while.
  13. I haven't seen anything about this yet. I wonder what the sim itself will offer for this. Will there be the option to place different views on different monitors? Will there be a possibility to create custom panels (2D or 3D) like in FS9/FSX?
  14. Just turn north. Or enter 900000N0000000E in your GPS. From where do you want to fly? An efficient route would need to take into account the weather. Look up winds at your cruise level and plot a route that gives you the best winds at each phase of the flight.
