RTWR 2018 Practice Round 1

[MaddogK]

Is fs default wx even legal ? last I hear jeppeson wasn't providing wx updates to fs anymore.

Setting up for run to PABI if anyone doesn't want the hop.

 

[Tako_Kichi]

It's still working for me and seems to be as accurate (or not) as it was before.

 

[MaddogK]

Rgr Tako,

Guess I'll do dis:

I have baton CYVQ-PABI AH F4U-5N FSRWX

 

[MaddogK]

Up and green, 40kt headwind, ETA 1:20

 

[MaddogK]

FSRWX crash, then 5 minutes later FS9 crash. Duenna still running green, flight aborted. baton back at cyvq.

 

[MaddogK]

FSRWX crash, then 5 minutes later FS9 crash. Duenna still running green, flight aborted. baton back at cyvq.

Looks like I have some terrain issues, ran the route another 4 times after the CTD last night and FS9 crashed at the same place each time. After removing all my addon scenery except the LOD7 world mesh, crashing persists so that'll get removed tonight. Anyone else seen this crash with Rhumba's LOD7 mesh ?

 

[Dangerousdave26]

I will give it an unofficial test run to see what I get.

I used to get that with a mesh I have installed in the Vancouver Island area. I had a mesh conflict with another product that gave and even greater resolution. I can't remember the details.

 

[PhantomTweak]

Just curious, should I not be making W -> E practice legs?
I don't want to do things "wrong". I want to participate. If that means going E->W with the rest, that's what I'll do.

Have fun all!

[PhantomTweak]

If no one minds, I'll try the CYVQ -> PABI run. I'll be flying the good old ABC F-8F, FSRealWX Lite.
I have the baton.
