Some people can’t fly as frequently as would be optimal, so Camguard is considered a good hedge.

Interesting that it only happens with the Sierra and only in that location. There’s probably some imperfect condition on the mic jacks that the other headsets can deal with better than the Sierra. The annual is coming up soon, so I’ll ask my mechanic to check it out.

For the record, Jeffries tubes are real. I am at the starship Enterprise most of the time.

Hmm maybe there’s some kind of shielding that is of inferior quality relative to the Zulus? They had to come up with $400 delta somewhere. The noise cancellation is awesome (I thought even better than my Bose A20), so they didn’t go cheap there.

I usually fly with a Bose A20, but being curious I decided to try out my wife's Lightspeed Sierra. I have noticed two things that I are specific to the Lightspeed Sierra hooked up to the pilot jacks. 1) There is a high-pitched electrical sound in the background at all times. 2) On takeoff, I...

My recurring flying nightmare is that I am unable to overcome a thermal pushing me up from class delta into class bravo no matter how much I try to push the nose down. I wake up thinking that my flying days are over.

I agree. No sim is perfect, and each has their own strengths and weaknesses. There’s no need to get fanatical or absolutist about anything. In the end, I think the real life aviation and sim worlds are much better with FS2020 than without it. If we get 0.01% of FS2020 users to think about...

Well, if I had a company claiming to be the most realistic for decades, I would try to create a model that did not result in a spin when I am in fact trying to stall. Moreover, the flight models over perform relative to their real life counter parts as evidence for example by well over 1000fpm...

I have never used a model in X-plane that correctly models stalls. There is a YouTube video of a 152 model that does it right. Otherwise, one of the wings drop followed by a spin. Furthermore, the climb rates are way off for many of the default aircraft and many of the add-ons. I found stall...

I’m in almost the same boat except my navigator is non-WAAS and only does LNAV. If you’re ok keeping the attitude gyro which it looks like you are, maybe throw the Dynon HDX into the mix. It seems easier to add functionality over time (ie ADSB in, radios...)

Any updated regarding this? Curious to see what is causing that and the resolution

Do the same thing, the same way, every time. You can skip steps and get away with it ... until you can’t.

I agree. Trade up!

Periscope

That is a great find! Thank you!!! That’s pretty much what I was seeing. It seems like this is related to the way the app developers format the raw data. I was surprised how much red was masked in Foreflight by what seems to be thresholding as you suggest. If I were in the LAL area, I would...

@Pilot Steve Although I regret not having shown the same point in time on both screenshots to present my question in a better fashion, I was missing plenty of red on Foreflight which makes me feel uneasy. So, to me, it’s not just a matter of a prettier picture. Edit: to be clear, Foreflight...

I am a FlyQ user giving Foreflight a shot (tired of waiting for aural traffic alerts). I have to say that I was displeased with the quality of the radar composite and low tilt graphics in Foreflight. I tried using this layer with and without the “4 color” radar option, but it just looks cartoony...

I think the OP is just trying to gauge what other people do to make sure he's not doing anything crazy. Based on my last 3 years of ownership, annual + other maintenance + operating expenses = 4.7% of my income. I could have put it in the stock market waiting to see some profit in a few years...

That’s a nice video! Glad to see it works well with that old autopilot, same one that I have.

Would it be reasonable to expect that an overhaul should address any issues with the built-in converter, or is that piece something that only an exceptionally skilled component-level person could fix (which perhaps may mean that practically no one could fix it)?
