I've always been kinda "Eh, SSJ, it exists" until I've flown on it

#

But then seeing it up close changed my mind

It's kinda pretty really

And you can now do sooooo many fun hops in Russia

why is it that flight control replay sucks so bad

#

one flight it stopped recording on the taxiway and saved it, the next flight it stopped recording and didnt save, and this flight it was showing it was recording the entire time but then it only saved the first like 30 seconds

#

Thankfully it was only like a 30 minute island hop flight so I’m not that pissed I’d didn’t save, but still

#

I had a similar issue back in MSFS, where it would record up until like the last minute before I stopped recording, and then they changed it so that the “stop” button cancelled the recording, to actually save it you had to press the record button a second time, which was a fun change

#

I don’t know what happened, but it’s working better, before it used to crash if I tried opening the options without the sim open and connected, and then the options wouldn’t save, but now it doesn’t crash and it seems to save my settings

#

I think for some reason using the default shortcut might have been bad, which is insane, because that is one of the only things I changed, that and I turned off the setting that saved your progress in case the sim crashed or whatever

reef isle Dec 4, 2025, 3:39 PM

#

the 2024 doesn't have a fully functional autopilot, navigation suite and the HUD is worse than useless

#

the velocity vector is completely useless

#

you put in on the horizon and you're actually climbind/descending

#

utterly useless

#

also all the vertical profile and autothrottle managment is laughable

#

and the flight model isn't anything special, although I can't say how accurate it is

#

it's not fun to hand fly (not with that catastrophically bad HUD and VV display on the PFD), it's not fun from a "system managment" point of view, it's just dull and stupid

#

I have less than 0 hope of that ever changing

#

so far every single plane that has been released by/in partertership by Microsoft/Asobo has been abandonware (A310, A320N, A321N, A330)

rustic charm Dec 5, 2025, 10:52 PM

#

It's not bad, but not amazing either

#

Misses some QoL, don't think it has a takeoff/landing calculator

#

Overall the EFB (or well, it's a paperclip there) could be much better

#

The visuals are alright, but again, imo not amazing

hollow oracle Dec 5, 2025, 10:55 PM

#

fair enough, is it only VOR to VOR or does it have options for more modern systems?

rustic charm Dec 5, 2025, 10:56 PM

#

The cockpit imo lacks animations a bit, and delays. Like if you click the switch, it goes directly from the off position to the on position, not actually being turned/flicked. And as for delay, for example the APU: usually you switch it on, and it takes a second or 2 before it starts spooling up. Here it starts right away

#

Basically this stuff has no effect on gameplay really, but it would be nice to have. Would feel more real

rustic charm Dec 5, 2025, 10:57 PM

Nope, has nothing

#

VOR to VOR or simple heading

hollow oracle Dec 5, 2025, 10:58 PM

#

yikes, there is nothing worse than a mediocre airplane that heavily relies on good VOR tracking

rustic charm Dec 5, 2025, 10:59 PM

#

Oh the VOR tracking is fine

#

I've not had any issues with it

#

I don't really even know how VOR tracking could work wrong tbh

#

It's the most basic aviation

#

Well

#

A person from the 1940s would be surprised by me saying that

hollow oracle Dec 5, 2025, 11:01 PM

#

that might just be an x-plane thing then, because the flyjsim 737 does NOT play well with VOR tracking and radials, and that pretty much permanently turned me off from buying VOR-only aircraft that arent highly regarded

rustic charm Dec 5, 2025, 11:01 PM

#

But by now it's one of the most basic things, there's no real way how it could go wrong

rustic charm Dec 5, 2025, 11:01 PM

#

hollow oracle that might just be an x-plane thing then, because the flyjsim 737 does NOT play ...

I mean, I'm pretty sure flyjsim is considered quite a good one?

#

Idk what kind of issues it had with VORs though

hollow oracle Dec 5, 2025, 11:04 PM

#

it might just be me, but it hunts the radial really bad, it's extremely hard to get it to fly in a straight line elmo_fire

#

rustic charm Dec 5, 2025, 11:06 PM

#

Well firstly flying VORs in a completely straight line is almost impossible

#

But that does look worse than what I'd expect from a VOR trip

#

Here's for example a flight I did with the DC-9

#

This was in the F28

#

This was in the 727

#

They're not perfect, with VORs you just don't get perfect

Well tbf the coast to coast flights on deliveries just seem like the best way, that leaves me enough fuel for a potential goaround/short diversion, but gets me far enough that I can cross the Atlantic as the next step

Fact is with the first one I posted, it was planned to be Boeing Field to Halifax (my usual flight before throwing a narrowbody over the atlantic, did it for every 737 I have in Europe), but I stayed at mach .84 or something the entire flight, basically too fast, and decided to cut it short for safety and landed in Bangor. Because of that, I was too far to make it over the ocean in the next leg, and ended up additionally flying 1:30 to St. Johns beforehand

Ngl for now the only part of the CSS 737 that actually annoys me is that you can only start from C&D

#

They promise more panel states in the next update

hollow oracle Dec 6, 2025, 12:04 AM

#

i hate the panel states that are already started up, i like knowing what is on and off in the aircraft, so i always start from C&D

rustic charm Dec 6, 2025, 12:16 AM

#

Well starting C&D isn't necessarily realistic either

#

You'll only start C&D if it's the first flight in a while for the aircraft

#

And if you start from the 'turnaround state', most of the time it's not like something's gonna be on in the plane

#

The plane's still off after all

#

Really you just will spend less time checking all the switches

#

And well, the battery will be on tbf, that's it

i wanted to see if i could actually do a flight in it, piss on realism, and i literally cant even set up my flight plan

it chooses a random transition for SID/STAR/APPs, and then you cant delete waypoints that are part of a procedure because then it freaks out and sets your destination to a waypoint

manually inputting every single waypoint enroute seems to work at least, but then you have to set up the restrictions manually

narita took alot of L's over the year sadly

#

they abandoned the shinkansen project entirely

#

then theres alot of goverment dispute because it is farmland and people are annoyed by it

#

now theres so many airlines there that noone knows what to do with all the passengers

#

it's also just kinda shit on the inside no offense

#

i've travelled from both NRT and HND a million times

#

narita sucked every damn time

Well tbf I'm just joking, I've never been to either (I've never been to Japan overall), so me seriously comparing them would be wrong

trim harbor Dec 6, 2025, 10:44 PM

#

the best way to describe them is that

#

it takes me either almost 4 hours to get home from narita (depending on time and train) or 2 from haneda

#

shows which one is better fr

#

I did like flying into and out of Narita in the sim (even if MSFS default one is atrocious), and I do like that it acted as kind of a mini-hub for FedEx, and a genuine hub for Northwest and some others

narita is also in 80% of the cases the cheaper airport

dusty sky For example?

XP12, i've considered the rotate MD-80 too, the 742 freighter, stuff like that

#

depends on what goes on sale, and what im willing to budget

Jurassic Park at least had legitimate aviation elements, and works good for bush and heli flights, but stranger things has no place in aviation and makes literally no sense as a crossover

I have been too scared to try autoland in any sim because I don’t trust that it will work myeyes

#

Someone should make a sim autoland certification service or something, like someone goes out and tests autoland for every aircraft and has a master list of if it works or not dogelul

fenix and pmdg works

fenix -400 fpm, pmdg -233 fpm

hollow oracle Dec 7, 2025, 10:59 AM

I think I tried it in the pmdg 737 and it didn’t flare and landed extremely hard

#

But that was also ages ago

#

trim harbor t7 works atleast

The 737 works too, tried it several times

#

I've certainly tried it on the 73 and the triple, don't think I've done it on the 320. On the MD-11 possibly, don't remember

#

Oh, also did it on the ini 340 and 310

trim harbor Dec 7, 2025, 11:28 AM

trim harbor u do alot of autolandings huh

Well, on the 737 it's mostly when I'm just very tired. Like the latest autoland on it was into Anchorage at 6am after already completing 4 very manual landings

#

On the 777 it was on one of my first flights in windy conditions into LAX, I decided to not risk it

#

On the 340 it was on my first flight with it and mainly due to the fact ini planes are a bit annoying to control with a keyboard

dusty sky Dec 7, 2025, 11:31 AM

#

I have no idea what I'm doing bro 😭

rustic charm Dec 7, 2025, 11:31 AM

And my only autoland with the 310 was in genuine CAT III conditions tbf

rustic charm Dec 7, 2025, 11:35 AM

#

Oh it's not too bad

#

PMDG stuffs and the MD-11 behave very nicely

#

So does the Fenix

Been flying with a keyboard for over 1.5 years now
