Is their a website that can give me a flying timetable and if there is not can somebody make me one to fly around europe?

Based on several posts around the web in the last few days it looks like the new DTG sim to be released later this year will, indeed, be a 64-bit application. That's the good news. The bad news is that we'll have to buy all our add-ons again when, if ever, the 64-bit versions are ready for market. Sigh....I think I'm getting too old for this stuff..... Doug

Good morning-evening fellow simmers; With recent developments of the new Title of Dovtail Flight Simulator a very concerning thought comes to my mind- what will happen to all of my add-ons, all of my hundreds of dollars invested in addons like the PMDG, Orbx, REX, Fly Tampa, Aerosoft, Real Air, Alabeo...etc, after all, should I continue spending more more money in the upcoming new releases of those developers? There are so many new products coming out that I have been looking forward to, like the v2 747 by PMDG, Orbx Open LC N/A, the newly released Orbx SoCal, upcoming A330 by Aerosoft and many more airports like Frankfurt and Amsterdam. So...., I have personally decid…

Just spotted this on Facebook: https://flyawaysimulation.com/news/4799/ Read it three times and it sounds like Marketing doubletalk to me. Reminded me of the blurb that came out with MS Flight. What do others think ?

DTG have announced they will be releasing two flight sims during 2016 - Dovetail Games Flight School and Dovetail Games Flight Simulator. Official announcement can be found at http://www.dovetailgames.com/news/2016/feb/11/dovetail-games-presents-the-flight-simulators-of-the-future#sthash.Uzy0DOcz.uxfs&st_refDomain=t.co&st_refQuery=/d0II2igoHH. A bit of info on DG Flight School and pic can be found at http://news.xbox.com/2016/02/11/dovetail-games-flight-school-for-xbox-one-in-april/. Both flight sims will be available on PC. Apologies to mods if I have posted in the wrong place.

Hard to believe a fan did this all by himself.

I have British Isles 1.71 newly downloaded from Aerosoft. The PDF talks about Fine Tuning Feature, Global Light Size, StarLights,Cars Traffic Section. etc but the Config Manager has none of this, or if it has I can't find it. All I can see is General Settings, Fine Tuning (All Below, Orange, Yellow, White, Light Yellow) and Night Map (Night Texture Splash Map). The Manager is v1.2. Have I got an old Config Manager, or has old age set in...? Rob.

Not to beat a horse to death.... A little folksy, but watch this 9 minute video and you will see incredible detail and detailing. Well worth the watch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C9hHJ3_2Siw

I've seen people commenting on the "warp drive" effect of FSX rain, but this is the first time I ever saw something close in real life. made me grin. RainX FTW!! :smile: (Yes, I'm easy to please) https://youtu.be/C_zCTSaczmw?t=9m8s

Been active on this forum for quite awhile, and was noticing on the right side, that they are posting that they need some income from donors to fund this forum. I guess I am a bit surprised with folks dropping lots of money to buy airports, scenery, add on aircraft, etc, some of which cost over $100, and yet there are so few donors, even among the very active members with thousands of posts. One would think that if even some of these members wouldn't donate a few dollars, they would reach their goal in a very short time. Not sure if this is the forum to post this, but since P3D and the add ons are not the cheapest thing in hobbies, a forum like this one would be well wort…

I thought this was pretty cool! :smile: (It's the 2015 show but the video is released 2016)

See, now I already have an idea. A virtual barnstorming demo where they give you a view from atop a biplane wing while the pilot does wild stunts and.... WHOOPS! Our volunteer just fell over. :wink:

If anyone is interested in landing fees and airport charges for major airports, I have created a website that I am putting everything together in one place. The website is: sharperaviation.com Right now it is mostly US airports, but I do have a couple other airports. Everyday that I have time I try to add more. The information is as current and accurate as possible, but this information does change frequently in a lot of places. I decided to create the website because I like to add as much realism to my flights as possible. I personally like to try to add a financial/economical aspect to my flights. I have found that finding the information is easy for some ai…

An emergency water landing in the waters off Oahu. http://www.hawaiinewsnow.com/story/31123468/small-aircraft-forced-to-land-on-water-south-of-oahu-after-experiencing-mechanical-issues?sf20225547=1

I bet we will be seeing and reading a lot about these new little Personal Jets in the next few years. I sure would like to see one of our high end Developers take an interest for FSX/P3D. Maybe Milviz or Flight1. Anyone think RealAir should jump into the Jet market? I guess Flight1 has a leg up with their new GTN series. The HondaJet has the Garmin 3000 panel that uses two redirected GTN750 for the touch screens. Regards, Ray

Do you guys know where I can find full and UPDATED (freeware or payware - I don't really mind) aerodrome charts? Googling an ICAO's ident charts (eg. LGAV charts) comes up with only with outdated charts which are missing pages. In case I have posted this in the wrong place, -to the forums admin- please relocate it where it should be. Thanks in advance

Thought this was interesting http://iss.astroviewer.net/ Where the International Space Station is located (travelling about 5 miles per second or 7662 meters a second) and the ability to take a snapshot view of the area below in real time. Best regards,

An interesting story from someone I have known only via the Internet for many years. Of course there is probably another side to the story. http://www.toposim.net/blog/2014/12/18/starting-over-from-scratch/#more-356

I have a question down below at the bottom... Like many of you my laptop for traveling is not a game laptop, has no dedicated memory. It happens to be a Pentium but not even an i3 level Pentium. 64 bit Windows 8.1 (the original OS of this laptop). No versions of FS from the earliest thru FS2000 would even install. FS9 (FS2004) needed more horsepower to run (like a dedicated video card). FSX also needed MUCH better hardware. FS2002 was perfect! Despite not being a gaming laptop it ran in dense default scenery (San Francisco) at 20-23 FPS full screen, and 25-32 windowed mode. This early version boots up quicker and is more stable than FSX (very good f…

747-8 production at a new low with 20 on order and 7 of those are freighters. At a rate of 6 planes a year maybe not enough, but with the fleet aging of 20+ years by 2019, those aircraft will need to be replace.

hello, This a TV show about a 15 year old boy being addicted to Flight Simulator. Here he refuses to say welcome to his sister (who he didn't see since 3 weeks) because he is landing: https://youtu.be/i6wmtPbvQNw?t=7m45s then his grandpa comes and his also angry about it. and here you can see his flight teacher forbidding him to play flight simulator, because he thinks he is to much concentrated in the instruments and not outside: https://youtu.be/i6wmtPbvQNw?t=12m14s
