Lipfert Posted February 5, 2023 Report Share Posted February 5, 2023 Kameraden, I took the dive, quiet Sunday and my first pickup was the Boeing 247D. This round, what are the must haves? I have SPAD.Next and FSCIPCv7 already, what else do I need? S! Klaiber and Britchot 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klaiber Posted February 6, 2023 Report Share Posted February 6, 2023 I've been trying to get into MSFS, but need to get more HD space on my computer first. Soon... Britchot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kliegmann Posted February 6, 2023 Report Share Posted February 6, 2023 I run mine pretty vanilla. Fsuipc, fsrealistic, fstraffic and airhauler 2. I have most of the carnado acft, and the pmdg 737s and the dc7 Klaiber and Lipfert 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee Posted February 7, 2023 Report Share Posted February 7, 2023 Yes, HD space. My install uses 350 GB. I have the Premium Deluxe version and Reno Air Races along with all the World Updates. I connect my iPad's FltPlan Go app over Wi-Fi for moving maps. The pms50 Garmin mods for GTN750 and GNS530. AuthentiKit Tuning App with vjoy to get the trim wheel functioning on my Honeycomb Quadrant. Then 11 addon aircraft I purchased, mostly GA singles plus 3 freeware gliders. I'm currently checking out the Eastern US mountain ridge system in game where a bunch of glider record distance flights were made. It's a shame Tom Knauff retired and sold Ridge Soaring Glider Port last year. It's going to become a horse farm, although it's still in the game (79N). Took my Schweizer 1-26 there once, but the ridge wasn't working that week. Lipfert and Klaiber 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fly a 180 HP G500 Archer for flight school and I can't find a civ sim that has it (Everybody skips from 160 Warrior -> 200HP Arrow or 180 arrow complex 6 pack) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kliegmann Posted February 8, 2023 Report Share Posted February 8, 2023 Now comes the fun part, setting up MSFS graphically and your aircraft controls. I have multiple control profiles, one for single engine, one for twins, one for twin jets, and one for the dc 7 (and eventually the Connie when I pick it up) Lipfert 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TedsOnMeds Posted February 8, 2023 Report Share Posted February 8, 2023 So once everybody's all setup, maybe we can coordinate some similar types/routings of aircraft and do "virtual fly-ins" to specific locations, maybe? Doing some loose non official low maintenance flying events in a civ sim seems like an awesome way to have a chat night when we're not working on combat related stuff!

Britchot Posted February 11, 2023 Report Share Posted February 11, 2023 a great source of mods and liveries: https://flightsim.to/ I usually fly GA aircraft and have the Black Square analog Caravan and Blackbird Sims Pilatus PC-6 which I fly all around Papua New Guinea with an online “career builder”. Also have the Got Friends Wilga and //42 FreedomFox/Fox2 for bush flying all over. I found the similar aircraft included in the sim to not fully have functional switches/systems, so I opted for similar models.

Kliegmann Posted February 11, 2023 Report Share Posted February 11, 2023 Hadn't noticed until now that the 737-900 by PMDG was out, so I picked that up as well. So now I have the 600-900 737s Lipfert 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
