Very much a tragedy: condolences to family and friends for their loss. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-36572649

Check this out! IBM World's first 1,000-core chip that runs off an AA battery. apparently Intel is also working on one of those. I wonder who will be the first one to tweak the affinity mask.

FSX is great is so many ways but anything can always be better. What would you add to current flight sims to turn them into 'your' perfect sim? I don't mean necessarily just an addon, I'm talking 'anything goes' type situation; functionality from the ground up. Is a new graphic engine really going to make a big difference? IMO, not much really. What I'd like to see is interaction and airport management. Get to the airport, find the briefing room, check the flight and weather info, chat with fellow workers, check the plane history logs, walk outside doing a true walkaround, be forced to do some actual repairs on a plane, control the baggage routine, get and…

:mad: :Broken Heart: i have no words...terrible Sunday.

FlightAware's flight analyzer shows the most frequently used route between PAJN and KSEA. GLAZZ1 SNETT MICZI YYJ MARNR5 It's showing numerous recent flights (including today) using that route. But I can't find any listing or information for a GLAZZ1 SID. It is not listed on the official FAA website's list of terminal procedures for PAJN or on other sources of terminal procedures that I use. Anyone know why this is?

Some nice looking guides to using and flying in Flight School available here: http://steamcommunity.com/app/441920/guides/

This was interesting. I though there would be no addons, but it appears that Taburet, the makers of a famed night lighting product, have actually made a vector addon for DTG Flight School. I wonder what else is possible! http://secure.simmarket.com/taburet-fsx-steam-europe-vectors.phtml

I'm trying to find some checklsits & flows for the 787 and A380, but a Google search came up empty. Does anyone know of any (maybe BA Virtual as some)?

Looks interesting... nice fluffy clouds.

Going back home on July 9th and will be flying on the 787 MAN - DOH ....Cant wait, will take lots of pics if possible..is it wrong to be excited about this? The connecting flights are 772 and 773. Boeing mans dream come true I think

Is flightsim con 2016 over already? i havent seen anything from PMDG presented, or still going?

I have been away from FSX for several months. I recently got a new computer and when I went to reinstall FSX2006 I found the disk had become corrupt. My question is which tyspe of FSX should I purchase via EBay, Steam,Gold or should I give x-plane a try. Max Hill Wickenburg AZ

Just for us Trekkers here who are also interested in VR :smile: Please don't suck!

Flight Unlimited ( 1 ) was a trully remarkable experience in times of fs5, when it first came out. I bought it then and later ( 1996 ) bought a boxed CD version again because I had lost the original diskettes... The video bellow brings up my best memories of FU 1, and at the same time lightens my hopes in Aerofly fs2. The merge between the two at around 01:30 is great!

Hello, I recently purchased mytraffic 6, i am currently using P3D v3.2. On vpilot i try to download the rule set for it and all i get are errors saying how it could not create the model. Also, in the mytraffic communicator, how do you install the trafficdatabasebuilder ? -Dillon L.

In the same week that the Royal Mail Ship returned to its base in the UK, to signal an end to mail and other services to the remote island of St Helena after a great number of years, watch this BBC video clip showing the news £285 million airport presenting quite a challenge to the test flight. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/video_and_audio/headlines/36493860

You need to go into your Carenado account, and download again, your Grand Caravan. Also, you need to capture your new install serial number (the old one won't work), and away you go... Post Edit: You need to first DELETE your Grand Caravan v1.0 BEFORE you install v2.0 Do not overwrite your present installation. Weather screens, and other updated goodies await you... For both FSX and P3D I have it now installed in my FSX and both my P3D v2 and v3. Cheers,

I know AirDailyX livestreamed alot of FSC2016. Unfortunately I couldn;t see any of it as I wasn;t at home this weekend. Does anyone know if Youtube videos are going to be made available? I'm particularly interested in Froogle's presentation and the panel discussion.

I am not sure if this is the right place to be posting this here, but I just wanted to post a few comments and public thank you's about the FlightSimCon show this year. 1.) A HUGE THANK YOU to Nicole, her husband, and ALL the staff that ran the show! What a surpurb job they did - it was so smooth and well organized and extremely professional. 2.) Our hats off to Jetline Systems, who I think supplied almost everyone a machine there, but either way Greg and Ken are the best. They are the nicests people in the world and went out of their way to serve us and many others. I used the term "serve" for a purpose. They truly were genuine in their actions and character. They s…

I was checking out the FlightSimCon 2016 website and could not find AVSIM on the sponsors list. Is AVSIM planning to take part on this flight simulation event? I am planning to go and looking forward to meet great people. Ed

Time for some Cuban scenery... http://www.nytimes.com/2016/06/11/business/airlines-cuba-direct.html?ref=politics

I'm preparing for a trip to France, and the main though not the only reason is to work on my French and be around it as much as I possibly can before I leave, and I thought why not start early and hitch a ride on a French carrier that does international flghts, am I more likely to hear French from flight attendants and whoever it is that pops on the intercom during a flight? (be it flight attendant or pilot) or is it mostly going to be English?

Today I fiddled around with the .cfg`s since not all of my request to the customer service of DTG are treated wit priority First i changed the cockpit lighting, because i don`t like red light and it`s too bright anyway. Replaced it in the aircraft.cfg with "vclightGreH" which is a soft green. Then i changed Flap behaviour by reducing flap pitch_scalar to 0.3, it is now more smooth and realistic i think. After that i enabled autopilot, but it looks that only altitude hold is working, can`t change to another mode. Tried to display autopilot panel but doesn`t work until now. Any tips to get it working or other tweks to share?
