Hello!
i am new here and to flight simulators... and am a pilot in training....
setup on the comp:
Ubuntu stable with an Nvidida card and fgfs 2020.3.6
thrustmaster T16000M full kit, don't know if i should have done a post by question, well...
- is there a way to activate markings on the scenery to show me where my airstrip is, i have to admit whilst in the reality, i have no problems spotting it in flightgear i get lost all the time..... so also marking the towns would be nice! some tips how i am able to recognize where i am? my usual visual helps are not very recognizable (antennas, watercastles, townshapes...) the map is a help, but well it is quite bare.... and ATM i fly by sight, not yet had the course on goniometry
So yeah, its a small airstrip (LFSH) but specially on making my base i would like a big fat red arrow pointing to the strip
- the cockpit setup: is it possible to store also the viewpoint? each time i start the simulator (or restart) the viewpoint is to narrow and to low ?
- the thrustmaster setup is way too sensitive, i allready put sensitivity to max, but still.... i don't count the times i crashed the cessna on the simulator whilst the real one i have the feeling to need to abuse it really extensively to get it to loose it.... (i had the courses on "unhooking"?? beeing too slow and angulated to keep lifting, falling with a too angulated upward turn and spiral downflight...); the real one has also a lot more power, i need 30% less airstrip to get airborne and that's with 245kg of pilot+instructor.....
- each time i shift-esc to reset the flight, flightgear crashes.... i don't think that's normal? what can i do to help there?
anyway real happy to be able to train with a lot less strain on my wallet.....
