Loki (and Defaid),   Thank's very much Loki for finally clearing up this last technical question, also via your explanatory link. I had already thought that it just had to be something like that but it was the "60Hz" in both Defaid's monitor and in my TV (monitor), which quite evidently got us both confused.   Thanks again and Long Live FS9 !!   Hans

Many, if not all, monitors with a high refresh rate these days also support variable refresh rates. In other words, the refresh rate of the monitor can change to match the incoming video signal. Nvidia's implementation is called G-Sync and AMD calls theirs FreeSync. Both the GPU and monitor have to support it though.   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable_refresh_rate?useskin=vector

Sorry to see these birds go😪

Why yes I did!!! My best friend lives in Parker, and flies Lear 60's from Centennial. Since he rented the 206, he has the cert. Now that I found the pic, I think it must have been about 10 yrs ago.  

Human/drone hybrid? Personally, I think it looks rather sleek but a 100 mile range wouldn't cut it.   Where do the other four people sit? It doesn't look big enough for more than the pilot or does riders mean they're on the outside? Could be draughty.  

In the CONUS, on a road trip, you eat where the truckers eat. If the parking lot isn't full of Peterbilts, Maks, and the odd Diamond T, move on, the truckers have. In towns, eat where the local cops eat, but don't take the last donut!   There are of course "special" places to eat.  The Brothers Taverna in Salem,MA., Cafe Beignet on  Royal Street in NOLA, ( if you're really lucky you get the "Steamboat Willie" Jazz band as well) and Scoma's in San Francisco (the fishing boats dock feet away on Fisherman's Wharf so the fish is fresh)   In Europe, you eat Pastel de Belem at Pasteis de Belem in Lisbon, (Buy more than one as they are delicious and there is always a queue), Moules Mariniere in any French or Belgian seaside town, but don't drink the wine they are cooked in - your legs won't work afterwards, Belgian Chocolate (almost anywhere) and you eat where the locals eat, not in any of the tourist traps.

Did 'ya get the special Certificate? 😁  

A nice envisioning of the future, for sure. I just don't trust the Technology quite yet, though.    Cost of Mogas vs.100LL vs. Jet-A is definitely a big factor, I figure. Guess I'll have to learn how to make Frybread and make that Navajo Burger the old fashioned way! Glad I have the Sim so I can make the flight to Farmington...

I'd say somewhere in between.  Depending of course whether you're talking about burning av-gas or jet fuel.    However I think the real GA future is in quick change-out battery pack power.  Take a couple hour flight out, eat a burger while getting a few minute  battery change, then make your return flight.  Or use the battery changed plane to train the next student pilot while avoiding the external noise of an IC engine aircraft.    I've read that more than one brand of new GA aircraft is experimenting with battery powered trainers with over two hours range.  Then you'd make a five to ten minute battery change and it'd be ready for another two hour lesson.    Take that concept up a huge notch or two and consider the JOBY eVTOL.  It already can hover, then travel at 170 knots for 100 miles to a hover landing.  Just the thing for trips to and from the Martha's Vineyard summer cottage!  And probably as quiet as the Mercedes SUV they're ferrying across with this summer.  Having said that, judging by the pictures I've seen it's butt ugly!!

Here an older but still interesting topic showing how it works.   https://www.flightsim.com/forums/topic/2594-thinking-about-some-helicopter-ai-is-it-likely-to-work/   Other uses of Heli2009 - Jetpack taking off   or Dassault Mirage III V Balzac   Bernard

g75s,   I had never heard of "heli2009" before but out of pure inquisitiveness I looked it up and read all about it. To me it seems that this program could be your best option but only as long as you do not watch the take offs and landings from too close quarters because they seem to be rather "mechanical" and non- realistic.   Hans
