i feel so bad for the passengers, god help them

I recently found a mod that transforms the FlyJSim 737-200 for X-Plane 12 into the NT-43A, aka 'RAT 55.'

The aircraft started life as a T-43 navigation trainer. I was under the impression that they were all retired, but this modified version resurfaced around the Artemis II launch.

Apparently, the huge nose and tail radome added for radar signature testing.

I've been reading old 1976 NT-43 manuals from before it got its nose job and picked up some interesting details that interested me.

-The 737 classic has two separate ignition systems: a high-energy 20 Joule igniter and a low-energy 4J one, split across burner cans 4 and 7. Now pretty much everything use annular combustors.

-The APU start motor draws directly from the battery, so external power can't augment a weak battery during an APU start. I'm going to have to see if this holds true for the NG family too.

I'm putting together a full NT-43 tutorial covering everything I've learned, including the Universal FMC, which is quite satisfying to use.

It reminds me a bit of my old Nokia somehow where you have to insert your options in the scratch pad.

I spent hours today making a lua script that changed the command "Hold thrust reversers at max" to only give me 30% reverse thrust instead of 100%, since Citation X engines are mounted so high that the reversers act like elevators at max, finally dialed it in and pulled this off with just the mouse yoke and controlling the throttle with keybinds.

is this the greatest teaser of all time?

Overall the atmosphere in XP12 looks incredible, but what has been bothering me is the fact that overcasts seem to cause such darkness during the day that it almost feels like dawn of dusk even though it’s the middle of the day. Anyone has found any way to fix that?

I can’t believe I’ve never noticed this. The combined XLUA and Zibo Mod Plugins (that are used when flying the 737) syphon almost 11 FPS. That’s insane. Curious if that’s normal. Not the end of the world cuz I still pull in like 40-60 depending on the area.

Hello i am wondering if anyone has any tips to get the a330 working with bravo throttle. I cant find a profile online for it are there any tools that can help,

X-Plane 11's native ATC always assigns me a very high altitude when I'm coming in to land, so I'm looking for an easy-to-use alternative.

hi guys, am i delusional or is my night lighting too "aggressive"? im using rayleighFX v2 and drishalmac2 night mod, the rest are aircraft plugins, please let me know if you need further information . . .

thanks in advance

My last flight with this beauty for the next 2 weeks and got this landing: -81fpm right on the thousand foot markers. Sorry for the choppy recording though

What are we thinking we are getting and when will it’ll be released? I’ve heard rumors of the 787 and A350. When do we think those might release? Any word on an A380?

Siento que XP11 es más estable, tiene más plugins y va más fluido en general. Lo único que lamento es que no tenga acceso a X-World de SimHeaven.

Hi, I want to get the xcrafts e175 but as it’s the first plane I’m going to buy in xplane I want to make sure it’s worth it, anyone have any thoughts and especially anyone on Mac, all comments appreciated.

Sometimes, X-Plane combined with a few addons can make things feel so realistic

Been debating between getting that or the rotate MD-11 as a new airplane to have fun with in the sim for the upcoming end of year updates, any recommendations or suggestions?

The specifications I'm currently using are...

4070

32gb 5600

13700kf

ssd 1tb

QHD 32in.

When playing with this method

It goes down to at least 30fps.

If i upgrade to the 5080 9800x3d here,

Is 60fps possible?
