Currently doing LIRF - EGLL, in a BAE146. Filed for FL240 but they’ve put me at a FL150 ceiling over the Alps in clouds, which was fun. I did request higher, but ATC doesn’t understand.
Still connected to Roma radar who are answering, despite having crossed Paris and now over the English channel.
Usually CPU temps sit sround 68-72c, with occasional spikes to high 80s. But the whole way it has been 86-91c, and the only thing I have changed is adding BeyondATC.
Finally got it working.
It would not recognise my voice at first. Tried three different microphones all to no avail. Never had a problem with communicating with my PC before.
This is weird but I thought that my speech was being degraded somehow by my broadband so in desperation I tried it over a VPN and it now works perfectly. I think I was lucky to find that one so quickly.
I totally agree. I think this will turn off some potential customers as well. It looks like the devs don’t like PAYPAL for some reason. It’s their product though and their decision and therefore their right to do what they think is best for them.
However, I personally never use my CC on the internet and so I won’t be buying this unless this becomes a payment method or until this is ever sold on a site which offers that option.
Anybody having problem in VR? 2D works fine but VR (WMR + reverb) push to talk button has a huge delay or sometimes does not react at all. It’s unusable for me in VR at the moment
I used the free version on my test flight further up this thread. No issues I’m aware of, apart from a descent onto finals problem, but that could just be me.
Update: And that could be my issue, free Simbrief now has 28R/10L but Fenix is still on 2021 database.
My Windows Defender flags the installer as ‘Microsoft Defender SmartScreen prevented an unrecognized app from starting. Running this app might put your PC at risk.’
Well I thoroughly enjoyed my first flight. A few hiccups, but immersive.
The European accents are tough to understand. I often find myself looking at the text for their instruction or radio frequency. I hope this will give me the confidence for a gateway to VATSIM too. Or maybe it’ll just re-enforce bad habits.
Well I managed my first flight with it, from EGLL to EGPH. I had a lot of issues, including:
not working with my bose headset microphone even though Windows does. It worked fine with webcam microphone though.
I had to disconnect controls with switches that emulate permanently pressed buttons in order to set the ptt button in the config otherwise it set the wrong one. I was able to plug controls back in after and it worked during flight.
it’s scripted of course and quite fussy with phraseology if I vary it slightly. I was expecting it to be more flexible based on the many yt vids I’ve seen.
it got stuck several times and I had to restart it, including twice mid flight (at least that works!)
it had real issues with some of my readbacks, especially with numbers, frequencies etc
I flew the INPIP 1E arrival into EGPH and it performed terribly.
Was giving me level changes as I got to the constraints and not in advance, so they were impossible to meet (obviously I followed the published approach instead)
gave me a nonsense vector while was on the approach, despite me being on autopilot in the Fenix and perfectly on the path.
got stuck during the approach and stopped giving me instructions
didn’t issue nor let me request landing clearance so I landed anyway
when on the ground still tried to give me vectors
a bunch of other more minor stuff
I’m not complaining here, just noting my experience. It’s early access and I’m fine with that, I’m confident it will get better. I would say that in my experience it really is very early access so if you want a usable product then better to wait a while. I think at the moment the lack of traffic is a minor problem compared to a lot of the basics not working well.
I checked the discord but it was chaos in there, a lot of people having a lot of issues, it’s going to take weeks or probably months for the devs to work through the main ones I think.
Yes, got this too. The installer package requires admin, and the package is not digitally signed, so Defender will flag this. Hopefully they sign it soon, or else change it to a user-installable package that doesn’t need admin (not sure if that’s possible though).
I think depends on where you choose it install it. By default it wants to create it at the root of the filesystem, which is frankly broken, so I just changed the path.
