The Hangar - FSX Enthusiast Club

AlwaysFSX

Anyone here ever been on 747-8 Upper deck business class? ITS AMAZING!!! On the way back to germany from [place in asia] the desk guy offered us a deal for $250 for 2/3 tickets, and the third is free. for $500 TOTALLY WORTH IT

 

I'd like to get on a 747-8's flight deck. It's like the 777 but with 4 engines!

 

And since we're on the topic of controllers, Frooglesim reviewed a Goflight's Yoke and Throttle and wow the price!

Nope. Vatsim, Virtual Air Traffic Simulation. It's as close to real life as you're gonna get. You have to send off your flight plan to the server and the controllers can pull the flight plan up as you call for clearance.

Oh I'd screw that up so bad.

 

Dude they're gonna be gone soon. 747-8 Had terrible sales and the -400 is only being used by like 3 airlines now. Germany to San Fran was on a 747-400, almost cried when we landed because im prob not going to go to [place in asia] for another 4 years or so, and all 744's will be gone by then probably. Stupid singapore airlines, thanks to you, all the companies are killing off the 747-400s :(

Wait they're replacing them already?? FUCK. I need money.

Started in 2012, since then most 747-400s have been killed. And 747-8 passenger planes are only from Lufthansa. A ticket in business class to germany is like $2500 during the winter time (I think)

They like replacing the huge passenger 747 with "long range" planes like 777.......

I want to run FSX with the consumer version of the Rift and hopefully gauges are clear with it. That'd probably be so amazing.

Goflight's stuff looks so depressing and cheap. Wow. I'd rather spend the $5k on Saitek's cockpit because it looks more cheery.

That's enough time for me at least.

I have about $2K of addons, and about $3K worth that i may have sorta completely pirated in asia....ssh.

FSX isn't worth dumping money on anymore, its so old and buggy, waiting for Doveshit to release FS2016 or whatever

Apparently the press release Dovetail made was misinterpreted, they're not making a new FS, they're making a new game using FSX's technology. :(

 

I'd dump money in to P3D if they port it to DX12 and it actually DOES run so amazingly well like everyone says. So far the only thing I have is REX, still rely on finding decent freeware planes.

Yeap. The 777 can more than handle the routes the 747 used to take. The only time an airline would need a 747 is if the route is popular and there's a lot of passengers.

And the closest you'll get to a rift is TrackIR and that itself costs more money. This hobby is more expensive than our tech hobby O.o

There's so many packages.. I just wish you could set it to install all of them automatically, just point the program at the folder they're sitting in and let it work.

Makes me wonder how the A380 is doing.

 

Yeah I'm looking at this thing on their site, you could get some wood and a bunch of Saitek panels instead for much less money.
