Another great one, as usual, with the peculiarity of being all "filmed" using XP11 and the FF A320 as well as the iXeg 737 ( if I'm not mistaken... ): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=93iqTd3IHmA

But will the airlines still be treating a plane load of passengers like a herd of cattle? https://www.cnn.com/travel/article/passenger-planes-future-look/index.html?utm_source=CNN+Five+Things&utm_campaign=e678e725a9-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2018_02_16&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_6da287d761-e678e725a9-82141749 Noel

Hello, I have question about engine system of CFM56. I visited 'Smartcockpit' and I found 'Engine Regulation of CFM engine'. I read that and I found something interesting thing on that manual. PMC. When I saw that and I think that is part of EEC, but I keep read about PMC, and I found more interesting thing. Manual saying "When PMC on, PMC on, PMC control power, but when PMC off, pilot must control power." I learned EEC is only prevent flameout or another abnormal situation, not control power, but PMC control power. That meaning PMC is autothrottle? Or PMC is difftent with autothrottle? I want to know that. Quick answer please.

Successful Falcon 9 Heavy launch! There is now a Tesla roadster in space. Watching the simultaneous landings of the two boosters back at their respective pads at the Cape was a joy to behold. Shame the camera on the barge suffered a glitch.

Hi, I'm aware that the A320-series have a small black triangle at certain rows, at which you have te best view to see the flaps/slats in case of a problem. However, I've not been able to find if there's an equivalent triangle, or a seat row considered as "William Shatner's Seat" in the 737NG? Also, if there is, does anyone have a reference to which rows this is for each specific version (-6,-7,-8,-900)? Thanks in advance! LevelMind

Today at Virgin, our new a330-200 from Air Berlin did flight proving and shake down tests.

I heard they produced a Reno Airport scenery and as a Nevada native I am super interested in this, but they have all but disappeared from the internet. Anyone have any information on these guys? Thanks.

Everytime I sign in and try to post in the LatinVFR forums I get a message that my account has not been activated! When I first registered I followed their procedure to get my account activated but nothing has happened. I even sent Ricardo a private message about this issue and there has been no response. Has anyone else experienced this issue? Is there a another way I can reach out to them? Thanks! Airbus

Um... since we were on the topic of emotional support animals on aircraft a while ago... there's now this. https://www.msn.com/en-us/travel/news/woman-denied-emotional-support-peacock-on-united-flight/ar-BBIti2U Always good to see the marketplace in action, working things out...

Hello! Are there any TM Cougar owners out there? I consider buying it to have more buttons available. Do you know if they are asignable via FSUIPC (registered) without problems? I want to know if they are really just easy to use or if there are problems with hardware restriction or Software like the TM Target or any other restrictions? Thanks!

I am wanting to find some photorealistic add-on scenery which will provide a remote crop dusting airstrip with a hangar, grass strip, and a wind sock along with some large photo-realistic fields to spray. I pilot the Alabeo C-188 Ag-Truck that has been re-painted and numbered to look just like the one flown by a good friend of mine who tragically died in a fatal wire strike incident back in August 2014. I don't have much $$ and can't afford really expensive products.

Since 'decades' the MS flightsim forum has been the first flightsim in the list of forums on AVSIM. It has loads of divisions too: 15! Underneath it comes P3D with only two sections. And then XP with 6 sections. And okay, finally we have Dovetails sim... I just had a look at the number of posts during the last 24 hours. MS flightsim: 8 (6 in main forum, 2 in 2 others) P3D: 33 (all in the main forum) XP: 6 (4 in main forum, 2 in 1 other) FSW: 1 So I was wondering... isn't it time to change the order and move P3D to the top of the list?

So I would like to see of anyone who owns both would be willing to share their opinion as to which is better, The MilViz Otter or the Just Flight Otter. FPS is another thing I want to consider. If anyone knows what kind of FPS hit there is in P3D v4.1 for both of these it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I am hoping that by reaching out to a wider audience I'll find someone with an idea on how I can get a couple of A2A planes to work. I have the Cherokee 180 and the T-6 from A2A and it seems like I have two choices. Either I have an aircraft that will not steer in 4.1 or (after I apply the accusim update to fix the steering) an aircraft where none of the controls will move. It's as if the aircraft is in a frozen state. I've been trying to get assistance at the A2A forum but I seem to be going in circles answering the same questions over and applying the same "fixes" that do not work the second time just as they didn't the first time. If anyone has any suggestions, I…

Hi all, I can't find the way to change the daytime hour for my twilight and night flights. Also I see beautiful lights and shadows on the planes, but the scenery is rather "flat", no trees, buildings, clouds and mountains shadows. I'm enjoying the new dynamic weather.

Several weeks ago I told you my youngest daughter qualified for the Leadville 100 and will be running it in August. She sent me this video this afternoon. Pretty nteresting if you got 30 minutes to spare. Check out this youtube video overview of Leadville 100, You must have sound on , perfect overview of the full course, very powerful and moving. I found it looking for a description of the full course. This is what I have in store for me in August... insert nervous laughter here Noel

Just as the title suggest. I'm wondering what 'WEL' means on a chart. I believe I've seen it multiple times, however I didn't quite question it until last time when i flew out of EKCH at which the SIDPT stated: 217° RUBAT or MNM 1500 WEL - DCT CH377. I haven't been able to find anything regarding this after a thorough search, hence I'd be more than thankful if anyone knows the answer! Thanks in advance LevelMind

Hey guys, Being fond of Lufthansa's now "old" livery (Just look at my downloads to get a hint of how fond, hehe), I'm holding back the feelings that the new livery brings until I give it some time. Initially I feel they completely missed the mark, and had financial undertones when choosing a new livery (2 less colors to mask off and paint, unless you want to count that little yellow sticker as a color in the theme). Personally, I loved the yellow and how it worked with their very nice blue. And the gray underside and engines were a great offset color that brought the whole livery together. Now, with the gray and yellow gone, and that blue band that co…
