Very short flight, taking off at JFK and landing at LaGuardia. :pilot: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHzmV3s3bmc Jim No, Jim, that is too short a flight. Lets do maybe JFK to Miami, or JFK to Oakland, CA? Something that sweet, you need to spend some time with it! Thanks - Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBJim Posted July 16, 2018 Author Share Posted July 16, 2018 LOL :D ...... Thanks for that Rick. Yes, I have had it out to Boston and Chicago from JFK, and she really is a very fine bird, but down to Miami with these old bones, I'd need a nap for that. :D Jim Happiness is FSX Steam and Windows 7 . :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoy! Rick :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBJim Posted July 17, 2018 Author Share Posted July 17, 2018 " maybe even bump up the "sim rate!" " Thanks again Rick. Mine must be an early model as she doesn't even reach Mach 1. Is " Sim Rate " some performance tip that I should know about ? ? ? :confused: Jim Happiness is FSX Steam and Windows 7 . :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is " Sim Rate " some performance tip that I should know about ? ? ? :confused: Jim Not performance of the aircraft itself, but does speed up the computer rate. It does not effect the indicated airspeed, or ground speed, but will significantly speed up times from point A to B. Upper left hand corner, chose Options, and you will get a "drop down" menu. Select 2X first time and return to the flight and you will see what sim rate is all about. I used to use slew until some of the experts on here told me about sim rate.

GBJim Posted July 18, 2018 Author Share Posted July 18, 2018 WOW ! ! ! That's fantastic ! Thanks Rick. Jim Happiness is FSX Steam and Windows 7 . :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Downwind66 Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 WOW ! ! ! That's fantastic ! Thanks Rick. Jim That will make her "Boot, Scoot 'n Boogey!" Oh make sure you remember it's set faster, go back to normal far in advance of your destination or next change in flight! ATC communications get faster, all ascents and descents happen very quickly, turns can get wild too! It's nice, though, speeds things up to where you don't feel like you are "watching paint drying!" Enjoy! Glad to hear your new Steam is working out for you! - Rick :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
