Still, the combination of SkyMaxx and FSGRW works well so far. They still change the whole weather moment-to-moment, as opposed to simulating spatially stable weather systems that you can fly in and out of. So how about we add FSGRW to the mix? Weather transitions become noticeably smoother. One seconds it’s broken cumulus clouds and blue skies, the next it’s overcast and grey. What has been seen before are the abrupt weather changes. On the way, SkyMaxx Pro shows really nice overcast weather, that has hitherto been unseen in X-Plane. Akron Canton Regional is actually a very beautiful airport in X-Plane, with static airplanes and nice scenery thanks to the new additions from the Scenery Gateway. Picking up passengers in Akron works without a hitch.
This is how it’s going to be here, too, it seems, and that is good! I remember from my PPL lessons that I constantly switched hands on the joystick, and really mostly flew with my left hand. Just like in the real world, my left hand is. But if my right hand is operating the throttles, who is operating the joystick? The thing is: Just like in the real aircraft, I put the throttles to the right of the joystick, which means I operate them with my right hand. This time I’m more careful with my run-up, and get airborne without incident.įlying with a physical throttle quadrant is indeed much more difficult than I anticipated. It’s a good thing the mechanics in FSEconomy work really fast, and it only takes minutes to get my plane up and running again. I immediately and unwittingly recreate this in X-Plane by firewalling the throttle, and thus breaking the engine. My first leg will carry me to Akron Canton Regional (KCAK), where I’ll pick up four Corporate Charters to Venango Regional (KFKL).īut this day is not looking good: FSEconomy reports that my engine broke down due to a random failure. On the upside, SkyMaxx Pro 3 has since become available, and I am very much looking forward to trying that out! Also, I got myself a set of throttle levers, which should help me get a grip on my engine management. Deja Vu much? And to add insult to injury, all the nice jobs that would carry me further east from this airport have since expired, and I am left with no jobs available. So now, a week later, the battery is empty again. Last time I left the airplane, I intended to get back in the cockpit a few minutes later.
