Quote from: Redwolf on April 20, 2024, 10:30:11 AMI still don't get how I am supposed to operate the Airbus 320 that is included with the game. There's no pdf manual. Just for starters I don't know V1 and V2 without some documentation. Maybe I should buy one of the for-pay mods...

The Mod team is also called Fly By Wire that has put out some pretty good content for the sim. They enhanced the ingame A320 to near payware standard. You download it through the installer on their site and the launcher / installer has a good manual with pictures / diagrams linked in it. It's definitely a good place to start.

Computer Gaming / 7 Days to Die - Plan to Leave ...

Last post by ArizonaTank - April 20, 2024, 05:14:30 PM

7D to Die has been in early access for more than ten years.

I think I have been playing it that long as well. I bought an early discount copy for about $9 and have clocked over 440 hours according to Steam. Much of that in multi-player with Grogheads Bud and Jason (Sabreman).

Now it will finally move to version 1.0 in May or June.

Quote from: Jarhead0331 on April 20, 2024, 06:43:03 AMI recently started a thread on MSFS. Would love to see some more discussion about it around here. I've been buying new aircraft modules lately and wondering whether terrain packs are worth it too.

The terrain out of the box is pretty good when you have it set on ultra, I don't buy any terrain addons. If your favorite airport or city doesn't look good, I'd maybe think about it. I've been impressed with how good out of the box it is.

Payware manuals should contain more info (e.g. Airbus tutorial by Aerosoft for FSX) :

Quote from: Rayfer on April 20, 2024, 10:51:36 AMI'm not much of a flight sim guy but have been considering this one because it's on sale on Steam for 40% off...$36.00 and might be fun for a non-serious but curious flight simmer. What say you to this? A good introduction to flight sims? And while I'm at it...just what is 'fly by wire' that's been mentioned often on this thread?

It is fairly beginner friendly.

Fly-by-wire aircraft these days have all control input go through a computer that prevents you from doing things obviously stupid that would lead to e.g. a stall.

Most modern aircraft work on a "fly-by-wire" system. Pilot inputs on the yoke or stick do not directly control the flight surfaces of the aircraft, like elevators, ailerons, rudders, etc., as was the case with older traditional aircraft. Rather, they are detected by a computer, which translates the inputs and then moves the control surfaces accordingly.

With fly-by-wire, there is no direct connection between pilot and aircraft. Some purists dislike this, but it does make piloting easier and most cases, safer.
