Vatsim event to Wolf's Fang RWY in Antarctica, first time having coverage while flying on the south pole

https://my.vatsim.net/events/2-years-on-trip-to-wolf-s-fang-runway Can recommend this one next time. Although you should definitely look into programming a custom waypoint before you try to land. Spotting the runway is hard in the middle of nowhere.

Aviation related podcast?

I'm looking for podcasts on Spotify to listen to, which are aviation related. Finding podcasts is always difficult though, and using mouth to mouth recommendations seems to work best, so I would love to hear some suggestions from this community!

Little Lemmy experiment by using Volanta as the image host. Hoping it works!

Wasting some time with LPPD - KJFK today. Only ATC enroute was KJFK_GND sadly...

Still an enjoyable flight. Can't wait for more long haulers in MSFS!

For AMD GPU owners, AMD Chill is a nice way to limit GPU usage during the cruise

AMD Chill limits your FPS basically. You can enable it in Adrenalin.

Wish it could go lower than 30, but it's a quick way to toggle between 60+ fps and 30. Will definitely be using it when I arrive in the cruise phase from now on.

Microsoft Flight Simulator Presentation from FlightSimExpo 2023 (tl;dr in comments)

From Reddit:

> TL;DR > > - Thin client, less to download, faster loading times, helps keep min specs low > > - All new physics and aerodynamics engine with much more control for aircraft developers to define aircraft surfaces/geometry to make full use of the flight dynamics. > > - Fully simulated hot air balloon physics. > >- Massive performance improvements, multi-threaded > > - Backwards-compatible (community folder still there) > > - Updated systems (electrical, pneumatic, fuel and hydraulic) > > - Failure, wear and tear system > > - Payload and passenger system overhaul > > - Deeper and wider avionics packages > > - Enhanced tree diversity > > - Improved cliffs > > - 3rd tessellated ground materials > > - Improved ground details - Screenshot > > - Full seasons > > - Aurora borealis, tornados, improved storms > > - Animals herds and migration > > - World live ship traffic > > - Accurate live traffic + more real liveries > > - Improved vehicle traffic

It's looking pretty good, hope the transition from FS2020 to FS2024 will be a smooth one!

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 is a standalone simulator and the next-generation sequel to Microsoft Flight Simulator that launched in 2020.

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 announced during Xbox Games Showcase

Wow... This looks amazing!

Probably an update on FS2020? Or a new standalone thing? Very excited regardless!

Edit: New game instead of an update. Confirmed by Xbox on Twitter. https://twitter.com/XboxGamePassPC/status/1667952357663989760

> Sequel? Not an update for MFS 2020?

> that's right, a brand new sequel!

How do you fly?

Seeing as this instance and community is brand new, I'm very curious how everyone here flies their digital planes.

Personally, I love flying on Vatsim. Usually I grab the Fenix A320. Right now I'm flying some different planes, hoping that the Fenix V2 update drops soon... I need that extra performance to not fly at less than 20fps constantly! Also flying the CRJ, AN225 and ATR. Might also do some VFR on Vatsim soon.

But I'd love to hear how you guys fly.
