Hi, how do i switch to the map page of the GNS430?

At the time of this post the booking for a slot for CTP Eastbound 2017 is in 6 days at 1500z. The last time I took part in the event Westbound, I was having some annoying issues where I could not click on a slot to reserve because the spot to click for a slot was unclickable, as in it was not a blue hyperlink that would take me to the page where I am briefed and emailed. Luckily before all of the slots were taken, they somehow became clickable and I was able to reserve a slot. But the main reason behind why I'm posting this is because I am a little bit worried that this "delay" will happen again and I will be unable to reserve a slot before they all run out.

Don't know if the link will work for anyone outside oz but the story in short was a passenger said she had a deadly allergic conditions with dogs, so happens a dog was on board with another passenger, she wanted the dog removed from the aircraft. Since she didn't have a doctors certificate saying of her condition she was asked to leave the aircraft by the captain. Of course she refused so authorities were called aboard to drag her off, now she been charged with a number of offences. Be interesting to see what happens Airline was south west http://www.9news.com.au/world/2017/09/28/08/27…

After several months of joyously no-fuss P3Dv4 usage, I decided I really wanted to fly the FLS A320x again. I really miss that aircraft. This required using version 3 of P3D which I hadn't done since version 4 came out. Boo! Hissss! I spent over 2 hours trying this and that..the usual troubleshooting that goes along with version 3, with no luck. The device driver hang message was taunting me. I know it's one or more of the entries in one of the 5 configuration files (P3D.cfg, both EXE.xml and both DLL.xml). I deleted them all (after making a copy of each one) and the cache files and yeah, P3Dv3 started up. Then I added a module or 2 back in and boom! same e…

The CEO was on the last live stream and gave many hints as to what was coming from them. They will be at I think it is Cosford soon and kept telling us to go to their website and be detectives :) Which unless there is a one pixel hint somewhere appears to be on the front-page of their website: http://www.blueskyfs.com This is what we are thinking is coming. Unless there is something hidden behind that plane? Maybe a big iron, not! Once again people will be unhappy, that I know! Bring all the DLC on and just keep it coming. Eventually everyone will get what they want, one day :) Sorry did not read the other post first! Apparently this has been discussed! My …

Howdy Everyone, Just for those of you who may be on the fence about Flight Sim World, we've currently got a 25% offer available for FSW on the Dovetail Store. Head over to this link if you want to check it out

I find it fun to browse this site, which advertises aircraft for sale. It's especially fun to browse the Cessna, Light Sport and Ultralight listings. One can get a feel for how much used aircraft sell for based on the hours and quality of the aircraft. Curious if anyone else has visited this site? John

Or maybe they just should be......

Things are getting visual in our update this week, with some long-awaited trueSKY updates coming into Flight Sim World.

New flight simulator? http://deadsticksimulator.com/ fb https://www.facebook.com/DeadstickSimulator/

Here are my system specs: MSI Vortex, Intel 7700 3.6GHZ, Nvidia 1060 GTZ 3GB Ram, 8 Megs system Ram, Windows 10 If you have a comparable system or plan on buying one, P3dV4 will work great once you adjust it's settings. Max it out, then lower the AA, Autogen, AI and Texture sliders to adjust for your preferred performance. You will find a sweet spot without having to tweak a config or ini file, or your Nvidia settings. Check out my screenshots in the forums, with photoreal scenery installed, I get great performance even with some AI around. I've only tweaked autogen and texture size down one notch, I did not notice a difference. I don't want autogen covering …

closer CLOSER CLOSER... Nibiru is coming, ETA September 23. Are there plans to keep Avsim online after our new rulers arrive on our planet? As a long time flightsim fan, I certainly hope so!

What do you play? :)

Just scrolling around Google Maps, as you do, and came across this curiosity. The airfield is miles from anywhere. Interesting reading about it. What if the 2707 SST wasn't stillborn? https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place/Florida,+USA/@25.8754164,-80.8948936,2347m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m5!3m4!1s0x88c1766591562abf:0xf72e13d35bc74ed0!8m2!3d27.6648274!4d-81.5157535 What I'd like to know is what is that building in the woods for?? Just visible at the top of the screen. EDIT found out it's for a microwave tower..

Are we allowed to provide links to specific items within shops? If not, I apologise. I get emails from Aviation Retail Direct - they sell scale models of planes (usually die-cast). The latest flyer contained a "what if" for a BOAC 777-300ER http://www.aviationretaildirect.com/pre-orders/b-boac-777-001p-wb-models-1-200-boeing-777-300er-boac-g-trpl-with-stand-is-due-november-2017/?mc_cid=81f5688ce1&mc_eid=3b3cbb37b5

Forum moved from Official Commercial to Unofficial Commercial as no one has posted since February 2016.

Hello! Our crazy indie studio adventure has taken us all over the place in the past year, both literally and figuratively - my apologies for not staying up-to-date out on AVSIM. Here's a quick summary of what we've been up to lately... We have continued to develop our scuba simulator, both for conventional Win/Mac machines. We call our development style "crock-pot" - sloooooow pace, but tasty results. Our scuba simulation game is available on our website (https://www.infinitescuba.com), on Steam Early Access (http://store.steampowered.com/app/305700/Infinite_Scuba/), and on the Windows Store (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/p/infinite-scuba/9wzdncrfj269)…

Hello, I'm absolutely impressed with the level of detail provided with the Prepar3D / 737 NGX. In my opinion seeing something that simulates the interaction of the electrical, hydraulic, computer, and control inputs- is something I feel we don't see enough of. And yes, I've been flying the Level-D 767 since it first came out as Pilot in Command, which in my opinion deserves an award for the being the first product to push the genre in this direction. This diatribe will begin with my experience on a real-life simulator, and then end with some comparisons to the PMDG 737 NSX at the end. If you get bored, my sincere apologies just quit reading and move on. …

Just a heads up for those of us that have maybe forgotten that Trainsim World was even still out there! The release date has apparently been pushed back to sometime in september, but it's known it can be purchased separately or with the original TSW in a bundle. Available on preorder now.... http://store.steampowered.com/bundle/4027/Train_Sim_World_CSX_Heavy_Haul__Great_Western_Express_Pack/ It might even tempt me this time.......

Fortunately, not in my lifetime - https://www.theguardian.com/business/2017/sep/27/easyjet-electric-planes-wright-electric-flights Wonder what air-to-air refueling will be like then? A huge plug coming out of an electric tanker? Then, what about the roar of the engines. Will passengers wonder if they are actually working as they descend to the runway? Man wants to know.

We've got an exciting stream planned this week, we'll be talking Update 13, Epic Approaches and streaming using a Logitech Flight Instrument Panel, with a special guest on board to boot. Join us on twitch.tv/Dovetailgames

With the only option being weather themes, how can one get current winds for an airport? I know it’s snowing... but which runway should I use? Thanks.

Avsim friends I'm a little dispite by reading a lot of topics about Carenado aircrafts because I'm very happy with some of their products as the D228. On avsim, it is a little borring song: " Carenado is less in programmation, Oh Ye..." You are absolutely right, and else ? To repeat that again is less in interrest... New readers, as I'm, prefert finding solutions to resolve some inperfect avionnics. Thanks, to the avsim "elite" that have that in minds. In a little community of simmer-friends ( a part, pilots in the real life), I asked 3 questions. 1) How many Carenado Aircrafts have you in your fleet ? ... R: From 3 to nearly all addons. …
