And after 40 years, we still have long frames, stutters, and even a pause, on arrival. THAT is first priority in a flightsim, not all that eye candy and roleplaying they are working on.
@@DaveJ6515 I agree to some extent, though I do have to say the eye candy to me is what keeps me on MSFS without any desire to go back to Xplane or FSX. I am amazed by what flight simulation offers now and for that I can forgive a few stutters/lower fps here and there. That said if they can ever get rid of stutters and improve frame rates it would be incredible. I do have to declare that I’m running an old pc for this sim, scraping the minimum requirements I think. I use lossless scaling and it works a charm to help overall
@@My320Sim Not your pc's fault. It's the old code running. That's why I am still using Aerowinx PSX: visuals are basic, but instruments are spot on and it is totally stutter free.
@@psx747atlas haha yes mate but going to need to get a bigger home before I can create a captains side. That said, I have found myself with 2 MCDUs because the manufacturer messed up initially and sent a dodgy one, I have fixed it but they just sent a replacement without wanting the first one back. Plus I have a side panel already cut which will fit as a Captains MIP, so I’m sure the Captains side will be there one day for you! Maybe on version 2 eh ;)
Great setup and i just wish they would hurry up and put the new uber livery on the airbridges. I think they are waiting for the low season as each stand will be offline for a day. No way of doing that yet as its still too busy. Only stand 46 has the new gatwick airbridge livery right now. When they start the process i can quickly release the gatwick update
@@Mkvy hi thank you for the comment. I also wish to say thank you for such an amazing Gatwick airport addon! It really captures the feel of Gatwick, I love your work! I cannot comment on the air bridges as I haven’t been at work for the past 6 months but I did notice when heading on holiday a couple of months ago that south terminal had all been blanked out and freshly painted grey. I guess the HSBC era is coming to an end. Either way, it’s great seeing all the updates you provide. From someone who flies out of LGW for work, I can whole heartedly say it is very very accurate, a perfect rendition! I wasn’t aware of the Uber branding coming but look forward to your future updates :)

@@mjame71 hi, the app is one from my workplace, however I can recommend SimSmart. It’s a Windows app which can do performance calculations very similarly
@@maxi962 Hi thank you, yes One Engine Taxi Departure is a very encouraged procedure across both the real airlines and in vEZY virtual airline. It isn’t just for Gatwick either, it can be applied across all airports if the conditions permit. It has large fuel and emissions savings, so although per aircraft (A320) I think it is only something like 40KG of fuel it saves on average, when you times that by the number of aircraft in the company, running multiple flights a day, it adds up to large numbers, which in turn saves a lot of money and of course CO2. That said, there are rules about using it. For example, if the airport is in Low Vis Operations or if there is standing water or heavy rain, or if the aircraft has defects which may affect a OETD, you aren’t supposed to do it, also if it is a training flight the odds are it won’t happen. It is only encouraged when conditions permit and usually an item discussed in the departure brief. The crews also have to bare in mind that the engines need 3 mins of idle power to warm up between engine start (Generator coming online) and takeoff power being applied, so the second engine start is something dynamically applied. For instance, if you depart from the south side of Gatwick’s Pier 6 for RW26L then it’s not a great idea to do a OETD because with the short taxi it’s already a high workload and you have little time to do everything on top of the engine start, but if you are at the very north of Pier 5 then single engine taxi is almost always doable. For 08R too a single engine taxi is a good idea if conditions permit as it’s a long way from any of the gates. It is something I have read in the vEZY manuals as permitted, in fact the virtual airline give you extra points if you do it. For reality I cannot digress too much but for Gatwick and my company, a single engine taxi is generally normal operations (conditions permitting) but it is also something we can apply elsewhere such as Amsterdam when they use 36L for departures There is also one engine taxi arrivals which are normal procedure too, again vEZY give extra points for doing this. In reality it again depends on conditions but is encouraged. I hope this helps, sorry it’s such a long answer :)
@@landingmission2203 surprisingly not as much room as you may imagine, I have it built around a desk which is something I would like to remove and make freestanding some day. That would allow it to sit flush to the wall and take less space, but really it only takes a corner space up

@@AstinH-u7b hi, all the panel and frames are made from wood which was bought in Wickes. I then used panel dimensions from OpenCockpits and various other internet sources to draw out the panel shapes and sizes and then cut the wood to make the panels. Then it was just a case of drilling holes for switches where the holes needed to go. It isn’t a very technical process for these panels as they are just painted wood without any engraving or backlighting. The switches are off eBay mostly from China, 16mm LED pushbutton which have been painted black to have the correct annunciator on them, then the rest is just standard pushbuttons and toggle switches etc :)
@@My320Sim Sweet thanks so much for sharing this information with me, its been my dream to have a bit of a home cockpit (FO side or Captain side, now it might actually be possible. Also do you just have the swithces as display and like to connect and everything or do they actually work with the sim?
@@AstinH-u7b definitely go for it and build one if you can, it’s next level immersion for simming. I started with a normal screen and joystick setup, then tried VR but neither come close to the feeling of pressing buttons and switches etc. All of the switches that I have included are wired into Arduinos and interface via mobiflight to be functional. In the Fenix it is possible to have them all functional but I am not flying Fenix just yet as I have a lot of problems with the CPFlight FCU in it. I use the FBW A32NX and they have most things functional which means most switches in the build are working and interface properly with the sim. Each LED pushbutton takes up two Arduino ports, one as an output for the LED which is programmed to read a certain light in the sim and display as the sim shows it. The other port is an input so when the real button is pushed, the switch in the sim is pushed (which in turn lights/turns off a light which is then fed through the output pin to light/turn off the physical switch’s light) I would recommend getting an arduino mega and some switches and LEDs and just playing around with mobiflight first, that’s what I did, once you get the basics of inputs and outputs you are good to go :)
