• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

    After certain unpleasant events in Central Africa, he would no longer fly in an "official" flights. He spent a few years flying the C-130H, but following some internal disagreements, he was assigned to the NATO E-3, where he eventually concluded his military career. P.S. Was it true that the...

    My father starting flying on the C-119, and he used to tell me that on one of his first long-haul trips, he flew to Central Africa. As I recall, once they moved past North Africa, the LORAN signals were no longer available, so they had to rely on celestial navigation. In Africa especially during...

    Wow, you really brought back some memories! Ever since handheld GPS units became available on the consumer market, my father has always carried one with him. The real revolution came with the models that had 5 or more channels. I remember that with a Garmin from the mid-90s, it would take quite...

    Maybe a stupid question, but would the manuals for the L-1011 or 767/757 work?

    It was a cassette like a VHS tape but smaller; maybe the size of an audio cassette? Flight data values were definitely recorded on it, because I remember it being removed after a rather rough landing. Edit I asked my father, and he told me they are QIC cassette. Around the 1990s, the aircraft...

    Am I misremembering, or was this information written on a cassette?

    I'm glad I could help; once you've done it a few times, it becomes pretty straightforward. As you can see on this chart, the time and speed restriction for navigating the circuit are listed. However, it's more common to find charts that don't indicate the speed; just remember that the time...

    Not really, keep ľ At active and keep the speed shown on the map, Older maps show the time and speed to keep on the holding circuit.

    FS2004 Boeing 747 Classic

    I can confirm that some 747s were retrofitted with modern GPWS systems; around the 2000s, I had the opportunity to fly in the jumpseat of a 747 freighter, and the aircraft was equipped with GNS (though I do not recall if all three units had them). I remember that while holding on Schiphol, they...

    So, it's different from the JT3. In the JT3, the flow was channeled at the duct outlet and tended to travel by hugging the inner dome. In the JT9, the duct seems thinner, and perhaps has a more linear exit angle. It would be interesting to see how a JT8 is built; I imagine it would be similar...

    The -3 would fit well, given that both had short service lives. I think it's only available on the Aerosim version. According to this design, is the air supposed to pass through this slot?

    for the -100 the autopilot will it be 3 levers or will you make one with 2 levers? but doesn't it have the bulge behind the upper deck?

    Thanks for the explanation; I thought the flaps were controlled by throttle movement, like the exhaust nozzles on a turbojet. How will you simulate that in FS9?

    So, should it open due to the suction created by the N1? Could the force of the air at a certain speed(maybe 100kn) open it even with a low N1?

    You're are a legend. For statistical purposes, I can tell you that the last aircraft produced with the -3 was a SAS -283B on 28 October '71. According to my list, there is no "F" model with the -3. Now that I recall the -3 has a different sound from the other JT9s— shouldn't it be much louder...
