Closest I'll ever be to using an autopilot system I've pre-ordered, anyone else in the same boat? Probably won't be here in Sydney until 2018...it will be a long wait. http://www.theverge.com/2016/3/31/11335272/tesla-model-3-announced-price-release-date-specs-preorder

Is it just me, or is the goal shown in the Donation Statistics window a moving target? It seems like a few weeks ago, the donations amounted to almost half of the target. Then, I logged in a few day ago and, all of a sudden, the donations had been reset. Just wondering. . .

Looks like flying or flight simming has "gone to the dogs"... (sorry, couldn't leave that thought out). Thought this article and video interesting. http://www.news.com.au/technology/science/animals/dogs-taught-how-to-fly-a-plane--seriously/news-story/138bfa946b053554a0b7fd5395a79fc6 Best regards,

That's my question.

.... would it be beneficial to bring pressure on to ' DTG Steam ' and ' LM P3D ' developers to FIX the underlying fault with their GPS Direct To function. If they fix it in the SIM then all aircraft relying on it will function properly.... Thoughts ?

WHEN USING TRANSFORM AND LIGHTING IN THE DISPLAY MODE THE AIRCRAFT AND COLOR PROFILE GETS BLUR.IF I DE-ACTIVATE THE TRANSFORM AND LIGHTING THE PROFILE IS OK BUT THE SPEED AND FRAME RATE GETS VERY SLOW SPECIALLY IN ADD ON AIRPORTS. HOW CAN I SOLVE THIS PROBLEM SO I CAN USE TRANSFORM AND LIGHTING WITHOUT HAVING THE BLUR.

Hello kind and wonderful People of Authority How do i Use or Activate these 4 Items, Gallery, Files, Blog and Videos? The ideas i have for these windows of wonderment are bursting out of my head :smile:

I just went to their website and this is what I got in the homepage. ALL DEVELOPMENT PLANS AND PROJECTS HAVE BEEN PUT ON HOLD. WE ARE CLOSED INDEFINITELY BYE! Could anyone have idea as to why they are on hold as of this moment? Last time I check, they were working for RPLL scenery. It's such a waste that another FS addon company would shutdown suddenly without any notices.

May I ask for some help and guidance please with my newly purchased Night Environment British Isles v1.71 for FSX:SE? I installed NE, setup the default preset in Configuration Manager v1.2, launched FSX:SE and I'm not at all sure that I see NE effects appearing. I also run ORBX FTX Global, Vector, Land Class and the ORBX scenery packs for Scotland, Wales, etc. I've read some forum contributions which talk about NE insertion points in the scenery files but I can't see any entry for NE in my scenery files in either the FSX:SE configuration screen or in FTX Central 2 Tools. Is anyone able to advise what I'm doing wrong please? Or have I completely misunderstood …

This thread will be updated with future comparisons as more screenshots are released (assuming I can find the locations). All screenshots are using stock scenery and aircraft with max graphics settings.

I'm just curious, but how far do GA pilots go for trips say to ferry passengers, or just because they want to get out of town for awhile?

one of these days, will take a while, even from Steam.... April Fool's .... eheheheheh

Hey all. First post on the forum as I was referred here by a member on one of the car forums I am active on. I really wish I would have found this forum earlier as I'm on MS FSX as much as I can and it looks like there is some great information here! Anyways, I was hoping someone on here might be able to help direct me to someone who may be able to help me find a new home for my custom hand-built flight simulator that is modeled after a F-86D. Long story short, my uncle designed and built this for me while I was young as I wanted to be a fighter pilot. The gauges such as the altimeter, flaps, flight horizon gyroscope with adjustable horizon, airspeed indicator, scann…

I was watching the trailer once more, and couldnt help but think how familiar the instructors voice sounded to me. Then it dawned on me, that it sounds an uncanny amount like the instructor Dennis, who teaches Steve from Flight Chops how to fly taildraggers on youtube. Take a listen and see if this sounds like him to you. Wondering if this is the voice actor they got. Maybe I'm just crazy and that Canadian twang sounds the same to me. It would make sense since that Super Cub is the same tail dragger that Steve learned in before we went to the Stearman.

Okay, I know I misspelled "missteak" but wanted to get your attention and apologize for something else. I and some of the other moderators have been moderating the Ask Dovetail Games about DTG Flight School & Flight Simulator topic. We hid the posts we thought were not asking a question and thus off-topic. We received a lot of complaints about the topic going off-topic with rants and other observations about the new products. So, this morning I decided to move all of those hidden posts to a new topic entitled "Some off-topic posts from the Ask DTG Topic" or something like that. There were 291 posts. I planned on bringing all those posts back to life once the hid…

Computer Gaming fair Insomnia57 in Birmingham this weekend will be the first public presentation of Dovetail's Flight School due at the end of April (http://www.dtgflightschool.com/). Aimee and Martin from Dovetail will be present there. It would be nice to see some reports - maybe even photos or videoclips? - by those who are lucky to attend in this thread. Thanks and kind regards, Michael

Well worth a listen. [thanks to Froogle for mentioning it]. https://youtu.be/7KbUNzi58wM

I want to express my gratitude to Flightbeam Studios for their excellent customer service. On Sunday I noticed they had a sale on and purchased the one airport I thought was missing in my collection - KSFO. It wasn't until I went to uninstall the older version that I realised I had already bought it last November. Knowing the situation with digital purchases I wasn't confident I would get a refund so when I wrote to them explaining my mistake suggesting a credit note they immediately refunded my payment. I did of course supply proof of both purchases. Well done Flightbeam. That's the first time I've made that mistake and I'm very grateful to you for the way yo…
