The Sirius TL3000 is in the marketplace at £21 - lot of respect for the developer, FSReborn. I like high wing GA’s so this will likely hit my hanger and top 10. (as per my obsession with the 152).
ps, said the Quest 3 was on sale a while ago. Wow is it now sharp, each time i put it on I get a free haircut.
Disclaimer though, that is with games from the meta quest store - some devs have optimised their apps for the quest 3.
That is annoying, i looked at the TL3000 last night and made a note of the price …. definitely £20.99
So that has gone up 12% overnight.
Not a deal breaker, certainly not for FSReborn at that price.
Only sold on mp as well.
(wish i’d bought it last night …. didn’t though)
I wonder what the PMDG 777 is now, last night it was £70.49 on the mp (bought direct from PMDG and it was (£57.14).
Update : I’m seeing no change in prices from last night.
Part of me wants to pick it up but honestly, how many slow GA planes does one person need? I’m seriously thinking of culling my library to one of each mission type.
Def don’t split the add on rankings into categories so much though. Seeing stuff that’s not up your alley is a great way to branch out. Really thought I wouldn’t like airliners for a long time, but when I started using the Lear 35 that’s headed more towards that style of flying and really liked it, that lead to the 736, which I also enjoy, which led backwards to the DC6 which I adore and may or may not have accidentally bought the BAE146 that kinda fills the middle there, guess what love it.
And it’s not like my collection of GA planes is gathering dust, point is variety is just fine here. Short flight, full involvement? I’ll use the Cub. Medium flight, pretty full involvement, well that’s the Comanche. Medium to long GA flight with as much involvement as I feel like, Duke or Lear. Long flight where I want to be managing the plane the whole time? DC6 or 146. Long flight and I want to do my dishes, laundry and go grocery shopping during cruise? 736.
You won’t regret going radio nav-only. I’ve been doing an around the world trip and just recently, about halfway through, I decided to switch to radio navigation exclusively. Loved every minute of it.
100% am not. It is incredibly satisfying to get right and a fun thing to make the flight involving. I just have (disconnected from the flight)Navigraph charts up on my laptop, plot out a course and follow it.
Yesterday I had my longest ever non-GPS water crossing, about 4 that turned into 7 hours flight time thanks to 70kt headwinds, luckily I way overfueled because I saw the high wind warning I use aviationweather.gov close enough for live weather, I did crank up the sim rate don’t have all day lol. SO satisfying when the DME display blinks alive after you’ve battled heavy winds for 7 hours of flight time navigating by only compass confirming you’ve managed to stay at least close enough to on course
Doing my list early again because I don’t see anything exciting coming this month, for XBox anyway, and my PC build has been punted off yet again because ski season is on the way so I had to buy a pass, and I needed new ski boots(those are very expensive for anyone who doesn’t know), and I went and broke some stuff on my truck I need to replace off roading this weekend as I tend to do. The discretionary fun budget is depleted, and real hobbies take precedence over virtual ones.
PMDG DC6. I’ve been flying it around the world doing only radio, compass and map navigation. I sometimes use the AFE, sometimes I don’t. This is for me at least the absolute most rewarding plane to fly right. Period. Including my now number two.
A2A Comache, still the best simulated plane in the game, but I’ve done absolutely everything I can with it. Waiting on that Aerostar A2A.
Black Square Piston Duke - nothing to say that hasn’t been said.
Black Square Turbine Duke - see above, but faster and less visceral
CAS J3 - best time you can have going very slow, incredibly involving, very visceral and very fun.
Just Flight Bae146 - Steam gauges and radio nav, plus jet engines, plus shortish take off and landing? yessir I’m all about that.
PMDG 736 - we’ve all heard enough about the PMDG 737s, they’re a great experience and that’s all that needs said.
Flyinside Bell 206 - nothin to say that hasn’t been covered, it’s great.
Vans RV14 - still just absolutely love Vans and what they’re about.
FSW Lear 35 - god it was hard to kick the Wilga off my list, but I don’t think I’ve flown it since I got the J3. DC6 gives me my radial fix, J3 gives me my visceral bush plane fix. Fact is, I’ve flown this in the past month, but not the Wilga. Don’t have anything else to say about it because fact is I’ve pretty much only been flying numbers 1-7, but I have flown 8-10 a couple times each.
