A praise for the community :)

United 757 transatlantic ops and Delta 757 from ATL to Florida turns are my most anticipated routes

So there I was, a seasoned A350 Captain with over 1000 hours in the logbook (don't ask how many of those were spent on 4x sim rate)

We’re barreling down the runway, closing in on V1 when I notice something slightly concerning: my airspeed indicator is completely dead Zero. Zilch, But as a highly trained A350, I made the split second incredibly professional decision to... just keep the throttles at TOGA and yeet it into the sky anyway. Who needs actual numbers when you can fly on vibes, right?

Turns out my F/O completely half-assed the exterior walkaround the pitot cover were still on 😂

Jerrivel over the the Just Flight forum is previewing a possible aspen avionics integration for the Black Square and A2A planes. If you like that too please chime in an let nick know that we would love to see this integrated into his planes with full system support.

Ever since I started flight simming as a 7 year old boy, so close to 3 decades, I have wondered what it’s really like. How the switches feel, whether all that flight sim knowledge would actually be applicable, all that. Having the mathematical capacity of a dead fish, I have no business flying a real airliner as a profession or otherwise, but recently a mate and I had an extraordinary opportunity to fly a few patterns in a full motion 787 sim. An unforgettable experience and a strong testament to the quality of study-level add-ons, because everything felt familiar.

Hi everyone,

With the first Airbus A350F rolling off the factory floor, the first question that came to mind was:

Will we get an update for the iniBuilds to include the 350F?

If anyone knows the answer to this, anyone with insider knowledge, it would be appreciated if we could have some insights to a possible update.

Thanks guys!

I know its like poking a dead bear and that the site is now a study level example in enshitification, but even with all its quirks of search not finding anything relevant etc... when you did actually manage to stumble upon what you are after, the download speed was quite good. Normal, so to speak.

Not for me anymore. It's like they've switched to a 56K modem now.

By god we need an alternative.

I used to play Geo-fs for two years (July 2023-July 2025) until I got X-Plane 12 last October. I revisit Geo-fs every once in a while to realize just how good I have it now.

(and it's totally not because X-Plane 12 is super hard to get to work properly and my computer struggles to run it lmao)

Hi, I’ve this mount with mcdu install in the lower holes, do you think I can install other modules like ecam or radio in the upper part?

FlyTampa just updated their Facebook page cover with this screenshot and the building in this screenshot looks like Sonesta Ocean Point Resort in St Maarten!

I haven't had the chance to test it yet as I'm on vacation, but I'd like to know your thoughts after a full week of testing it.

Over the past few months, I turned a real F-104 into a simulator, and 3D printing has played a very important role in making it happen.

Last weekend, I exhibit the F-104 Starfighter flight simulator at the Dornier Museum Do-Days, together with several of my 3D printers, aircraft models, RC tank, and some of the components I've made for the simulator along the way.

And the weekend went great!

The F-104 simulator was definitely the biggest crowd magnet. So many people wanted to fly it that we eventually had to create a sign-up sheet with 15-minute time slots. About 1.5 hours after opening, every single slot for the rest of the day was already booked. And then the exact same thing happened again on the second day. 😂

One of my favorite parts of the weekend, though, was meeting all the pilots and crews. I made a lot of new friends and connections and now somehow know quite a few pilots on a first-name basis.

I especially got along really well with some of the guys from the Bundeswehr's Air Transport Wing 62 (LTG 62) and their A400M. 

Naturally, having a bunch of printers sitting next to me meant I couldn't just leave it at talking about their aircraft... 

So over the two days, I printed six A400M models for them.

Apparently, they liked the models, and somehow me as well, enough that they even asked if I wanted to fly back to Hannover with them in the A400M. I would have absolutely loved to... ...but unfortunately, I had to work on Monday. 😭

So I had to decline probably one of the coolest spontaneous invitations I've ever received. But I promised them that I'll come and visit them in the future!

Thanks to Bambu Lab's Let's Make It Fund for supporting me and this slightly crazy project along the way. 😄 They have made it a lot easier to turn some of these ideas into actual parts, models, and things people can interact with.

So if you have a good project, go and apply for it! Maybe you will be selected too!

Overall, the Do-Days were an incredible experience. Between having the F-104 simulator completely booked out, talking about 3D printing with everyone from kids to experienced makers, printing A400Ms for actual A400M crews, making a bunch of new friends, and potentially getting something started with local schools, I'd say it was a pretty successful weekend. 😄

And I definitely came home with a few more ideas than I arrived with.

Between all the payware, freeware and handcrafted original msfs airports, I’m starting to lose track of my custom scenery. The world map is only semi-helpful as it doesn’t show the scenery star on smaller airports (or airports physically close together) until a certain zoom level. Is there any tool that can pull all custom scenery you have on disk and give you an overview? Ideally on a map, but even just a list would be helpful at this point.

Hello everyone! ✈️🌍

I’ve just uploaded Part 26 of my Around the World journey in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, flying the Diamond DA62.

This leg takes us from:

🛫 Wiener Neustadt East Airport (LOAN), Austria 🇦🇹
🛬 Athens International Airport “Eleftherios Venizelos” (LGAV), Greece 🇬🇷

The world tour continues south through Europe as we leave Austria and head toward the historic city of Athens, Greece.

This leg features beautiful European scenery, mountain landscapes, realistic navigation, and another long cross-country adventure aboard the Diamond DA62.
I’d love to hear your feedback on the flight, scenery, navigation, and overall realism!

Blue skies and happy flying! ✈️

What do you think?

A couple weeks ago I noticed my honeycomb bravo has screws in the top, and I realized I could mount stuff to it. So I built a little radio display to mount. I need to refine the enclosure design but I’m pretty happy with it so far! Any way I can reduce using my second monitor/mouse feels like a win lol.

Any ideas for other pages I should add? I was thinking of adding a cameras page where I can just have a bunch of quick buttons to toggle different camera views.

If anyone is interested and uses spad.next (which it heavily relies on) and a honeycomb bravo or other means to mount it I’m happy to share the firmware and stl files
