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.

    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.

    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

    Jump
  • CertifiedSimPilot CertifiedSimPilot 1 year ago 100%

    Update for @sergih123@lemmy.world and @alehc@lemmy.ml:

    Falling into the sun is a bit time comsuming and finnicky. Try to keep your speed low when you approach the surface, and keep time warp to the lowest you can bear.

    The surface is at around -30 km. It looks like this:

    Descending further... Long trip. As you approach the core your speed will pick up rapidly. When you're at the core, you'll get slingshotted out of the core at a ludicrous speed, in my case 22248.0 km/s. Interstellar travel before it's implemented?Anyways quite satisfying flying out of the sun's core at a fraction of the speed of light. Can recommend!

    ... (picture soon, it won't upload)

    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.

But in the end I achieved this tight orbit! ![](https://lemmyfly.org/pictrs/image/fc79d56a-fbb2-41f3-a918-568ec8eff758.png) I tried to land on the sun as well for the fun of it. The surface at 0 m is not solid. Currently debating if I wanna wait the 30 minutes it takes to get to the centre of the sun.

    In the most recent FAQ they did say that "virtually all add-ons that work in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020) today will function in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024". So all addons should hopefully still work. How that's gonna go with addons from third party stores, remains to be seen I guess. Would be a shame if they don't work, because that's where I got the majority of my addons.

    But yeah, I'd be alot happier if the MSFS base game got lifted to this new version, and all the new content would be a paid DLC...

    Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 FAQ www.flightsimulator.com

    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.

    Aamir from FenixSim's prediction on how the update will be compared to MSFS2020:

    No, this is why I'm saying it will be a free update to 2020. It will replace 2020. Customers on 2020 get a free core engine update and get pulled into 2024. All the 2024 content is locked up and if you want it, then you pay.
    But a service like this
    With servers and shit to keep running.
    No chance they want to run two platforms at once.

    From the r/flightsim Discord
    https://discord.com/channels/216217565272211456/732666100197883975/1117516111592829041

    Hope not... I expect most of the things they showcased to just be missions, or activities as they call em nowadays. Doubt they'll touch free flight and just leave the realism up to the player with the assists like before. That seems logical to me at least?

    But who knows? We'll have to wait and see!

    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.
