Vatsim event to Wolf's Fang RWY in Antarctica, first time having coverage while flying on the south pole

https://my.vatsim.net/events/2-years-on-trip-to-wolf-s-fang-runway Can recommend this one next time. Although you should definitely look into programming a custom waypoint before you try to land. Spotting the runway is hard in the middle of nowhere.

FSR 3 frame generation in MSFS
  • Is this added to the base game, or do you need to do some tricks to get this to work?

  • Do you fly with a virtual airline?
  • I think I boot up the simulator too sporadically to join a VA, I've read multiple VA's that require you to fly at least once a month. Plus it feels a bit limiting in a way? Not being in a VA allows you to fly where ATC is on Vatsim and wherever in the world you want.

  • Jetblue E190 - collision on runway averted by late go around
  • Probably yeah. Shame, hope they release it eventually

    Fenix announces V2 for their A320 - also announced A319 and A321
  • Can't wait for this one! Extra performance is very welcome. And the extra variants are definitely nice to have too!

  • Jetblue E190 - collision on runway averted by late go around
  • Wow, this looks scary...

    Is the full video of which the picture was taken available somewhere? I've tried looking for it but I can't find anything

  • [odd variants] F-WNOV - the parabolic 'weightless on Earth' A310
  • I've seen a video about this plane by Tom Scott years ago. But I only recently learned this is an A310. Learned so by browsing the liveries of the IniBuilds A310 for MSFS, and there it was! It's a very cool variant for sure.

  • Aviation related podcast?
  • They seem interesting. Aircraft accidents always make for engaging stories somehow, added them to my list! I'll see if I like em, thanks!

  • Aviation related podcast?
  • I think I listened to an episode of that one yeah. From what I remember they were explaining basic stuff, and I got annoyed listening by it hahah

  • The visibility while landing at EHAM during storm Poly this Wednesday. Wind indicator showing 46kts at 1000'ft!
  • Had one go-around, but the landing was good for the weather I'd say. I was kinda surprised, the performance calculation showed me stopping at the end of the runway, but I stopped one holding point before the last one even! (G4 instead of G5)

    Anyways Volanta showed it as a -335 fpm / 1.07G, so I'm happy

    Thanks to the Vatsim ATC at Schiphol for making the landing even more exciting!

    Little Lemmy experiment by using Volanta as the image host. Hoping it works!
  • You may copied the URL of the page instead of the image URL.
    Be sure to right click the image, and copy the image URL, instead of the URL of the webpage. So in case of Imgur, the URL should look like i.imgur.com , instead of imgur.com

    Aviation related podcast?

    I'm looking for podcasts on Spotify to listen to, which are aviation related. Finding podcasts is always difficult though, and using mouth to mouth recommendations seems to work best, so I would love to hear some suggestions from this community!

    Wasting some time with LPPD - KJFK today. Only ATC enroute was KJFK_GND sadly...

    Still an enjoyable flight. Can't wait for more long haulers in MSFS!

    For AMD GPU owners, AMD Chill is a nice way to limit GPU usage during the cruise

    AMD Chill limits your FPS basically. You can enable it in Adrenalin.

    Wish it could go lower than 30, but it's a quick way to toggle between 60+ fps and 30. Will definitely be using it when I arrive in the cruise phase from now on.

    Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 FAQ
    www.flightsimulator.com Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 FAQ - Microsoft Flight Simulator

    Top questions about the upcoming Microsoft Flight Simulator sequel.

    Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 FAQ - Microsoft Flight Simulator

    Today’s trailer was a short teaser to introduce Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024. We are excited to share much more information about the next generation of the Microsoft Flight Simulator franchise in the coming months. We have been monitoring your feedback to the trailer very closely and apologize for our delayed communication. We would like to take the opportunity to address some of the most common questions we’ve seen.

    Will Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 be a completely standalone sequel, or will it also be offered as a paid update for existing players?

    Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 is a standalone simulator and the next-generation sequel to Microsoft Flight Simulator that launched in 2020. Current aircraft and airports that are in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020), as well as virtually all Marketplace add-ons, will be supported in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024.

    What kind of support can Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020) players expect to see once Flight Simulator 2024 has been released?

    We will continue to deliver our Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020) Roadmap which has content ranging from Aircraft and Avionics Updates, Sim Updates, City and World Updates, and also the free Dune DLC. We will continue to support Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020) post the Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 launch.

    Will all purchases users have made from the Marketplace be transferrable to the new simulator?

    With very few exceptions, virtually all add-ons that work in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020) today will function in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024. Add-ons that were purchased from the in-simulator Marketplace will not need to be re-purchased in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024.

    Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 announced during Xbox Games Showcase

    Wow... This looks amazing!

    Probably an update on FS2020? Or a new standalone thing? Very excited regardless!

    Edit: New game instead of an update. Confirmed by Xbox on Twitter. https://twitter.com/XboxGamePassPC/status/1667952357663989760

    > Sequel? Not an update for MFS 2020?

    > that's right, a brand new sequel!

    How do you fly?

    Seeing as this instance and community is brand new, I'm very curious how everyone here flies their digital planes.

    Personally, I love flying on Vatsim. Usually I grab the Fenix A320. Right now I'm flying some different planes, hoping that the Fenix V2 update drops soon... I need that extra performance to not fly at less than 20fps constantly! Also flying the CRJ, AN225 and ATR. Might also do some VFR on Vatsim soon.

    But I'd love to hear how you guys fly.

    EDDP - HECA in the almighty AN225

    First flight with the AN225 on Vatsim as well! We will stay quiet about the departure.. 🤫 Might have misread some speeds...

    Making this a test to see if you can post two screenshots as well
