Does anyone know what happened to the Terra-Brasilis website. I've been trying for about a month or two now, and the old address just goes to some generic bluehost website. All of the links pointing to their sceneries are now going to this website, so it doesn't appear that they have changed address, but just disappeared totally. Does anyone know what happened? It's a shame if they have folded totally, as they were an excellent source for great freeware. Cheers, Scott

Morning Everyone, It would be much appreciated if you could complete a quick online questionnaire/survey which I have created to help aid the development of a Flight Simulator gaming chair which I am designing in my Product Design project at school. The questionnaire contains 10 questions which an be easily completed in under 2 minutes. Please click on the following link to access the survey - https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/6N7TZF6 Thanks for any help/contribution you can provide. Dom - ACA2315

Fellow North Easterners, it's nasty out there, and on a weekend there's small reason for most of us to be on the roads. Stay home, because......... Things like this can happen....... And chocolate is good.

Hello All I'm not sure if I should post this here or in the Prepar3D forum, but it affects both FSX and P3D. I will duplicate it at the P3D forum as well. I am offering this as a warning of a payware product, advertised at SimPlanet as a new company with two products, with a 40% discount, as a start off advert for them. This is no slate or prejudice on the fine website of SimPlanet, and I have advised them so of what has transpired, along with a request for a refund. This product by Vector Design - Move it to P3D, is riddled with bugs and does not work. From this first very bad experience of a payware product, I would also not trust their other product on offer - …

Hello, I've been using skyvector for years and found it a wonderful tool. Now they have come up with a new flight planning tool which is automatic and is not userfriendly with no flexebilty. It may be useful but for me it is useless. I wish we had the possibility to use either the old and convenient system or the new one. I am really dissapointed by this new tool. In the meantime has anybody succeeded in deleting waypoints? The delete function does not show! Why change something which works by something which does not?

Hi All, Just wanted to check I wasn't alone! I have 'phases' where I'm really into Flight Simulator and other times when I don't use it much. However when I am, like right now, I just get a bit obsessed with getting it running right and looking right, and buying add ons! Im scared to try and add up how much I've spent recently on payware airports and scenery. They just add so much to the immersion. I started off telling myself that I need at least two to fly between, then a few more to add some more options for flights, and before I knew it I'd built up a massive collection costing a small fortune! And I'm still eyeing up other ones, before I've even used half the one…

Can you imagine a simulator that finally allows you to fly around the world crash and trouble free. I just started a round the world trip yesterday. Yesterday for the first leg I flew CYYZ to CYVR for West jet in the NGX 737-800 and today I am flying CYVR to VHHX in the PMDG 777-200LR for Singapore Airlines. I am about half way there. I am doing the whole thing at normal speed. Granted I'm not following real world procedure. :smile: If I make it to VHHX, I will continue in to Zurich LSZH tomorrow for whichever Airline will have me. Surely the PMDG 777 again. Next day, if Aerosoft have released EIDW for P3D V3.1 (I seriously doubt it!)I'll take Aer Lingus NGX from LSZ…

I'm scratching my head about few things in the NGX particulary, but since that addon is simulating all the stuff very close to the real deal (more or less), this questions are not just about the NGX, it's generally related to 737-800. 1. I'm performing all my landings in the NGX with flaps 40, heavy or light plane, short or long runway, doesn't matter. Why? Simply because I found the landings with flaps 30 very difficult, completely opposite of full flaps landings, which are easy , smooth and stable with just right amount of flare. I can nail every landing between 50-150fpm, which is ok. With flaps 30 I must apply more throttle to keep a decent rate of descent/angle …

I have just noticed that I do not have any Earth Simulations Treescapes autogen trees along the northern edge of the VFR3 Northern England photoscenery area (where it joins the VFR8 Southern Scotland scenery). The Scottish trees are working fine, and are displayed right up to the boundary. Does anyone have any ideas what the problem could be? I don't recall seeing this before, so I am puzzled.

This is really bad news for us Canadian Simmers. It basically means that addon's are going to cost us about 50% more than they used too:-) I invested in my System and most of the addons I own when the Canadian dollar was about 1 to 1 with the US dollar. I have certainly slowed down with my purchases except for sales. I have been waiting for Concorde X for P3D for a very long time after I buy that, its over for me. I have enough material to keep me happy to years to come. What about the rest of you Canadian Simmers will this effect your FS investment?

Anyone know what happen to LiveDispatch.org.. Worked yesterday, i go to fly using it tonight & find out that it don't exist anymore.. It was a live dispatching place, that a guy created & I logged alot of hours in with it.. Also was pretty neat because he had it where you had the safety briefing of most of all the major airlines, it was also a flight tracker & logbook with ACARS.. Now it don't seem to exist ?? :(

I'm just wondering if there are any hams at AVSIM who operate on MotoTURBO DMR? If so, give me a call sometime on any of these Talk Groups as appropriate for your area of the world: World Wide – TG# 1 (PTT Activated) World Wide English – TG# 13 North America – TG# 3 USA 1776 – TG# 1776 (PTT Activated) TAC-310 – TG# 310 (PTT Activated) UA English 1 – TG# 113 (PTT Activated) UA English 2 – TG# 123 (PTT Activated) Midwest Regional – TG# 3169 Indiana Statewide – TG# 3118 Local (True Local) – TG# 2 73's de N4GIX

Is it possible to sell addon scenery done by a one man's company? I know that google map, sketchup need license, is there any way that can allow me to pay zero dollar(excluding online shop charge) while selling my scenery?

Hi all, I'm chasing a quality ATR systems-heavy simulation. It looks as though Flight 1's ATR is the best out there, but how systems-heavy is it? Does it reach PMDG standards (to the point that it could be used by real pilots for revision) or does it fall short of that mark? Also, has anyone had any success in using the F1 ATR in Prepar3d? Thank you in advance.

Someone just emailed this to me, so I don't know who is the author, but I thought that it would be enjoyed here: This 1967 true story of an experience by a young 12 year old lad in Kingston, Ontario, Canada. It is about the vivid memory of a privately rebuilt P-51 from WWII and its famous owner / pilot. In the morning sun, I could not believe my eyes. There, in our little airport, sat a majestic P-51. They said it had flown in during the night from some U.S. Airport, on its way to an air show. The pilot had been tired, so he just happened to choose Kingston for his stop over. It was to take to the air very soon. I marveled at the size of the plane, dwarfin…

Hi I'm not sure how many people on here may be interested in Star citizen, that is currently in an alpha state of production,but if you are and have not created an account or bought into it yet then please read on. BEFORE you sign up on the star citizen website please take a note of this code STAR-9Y9R-VNDC it is part of a referral type program in that if you put my code in when you are doing the registering process,and then decide then,or at a later date (while its still available) to make a purchase for the game you will get 5000UEC in game credits and I would get a point towards also getting in game stuff. From what I understand you only get the credits …

I know its 8 months away but is any simmers out there from the San Diego area who attends this Miramar Airshow each September? Just purchased my plane tickets to fly down from Canada for the weekend so I can attend. Was hoping to chat with a local on the best way for me to get to the base from downtown San Diego. Maybe even meet up with a fellow simmer for the days airshow. Pete

Over Christmas I upgraded my headphone to the Astro A50 Wireless and trackHat pro that is also wireless. I couldn't be happier

Thought some might like to watch! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_4inURbNt4

Hi all, please consider the following METAR string: EDDS 171150Z 32010KT 290V350 9999 -SHSN FEW018 SCT041TCU M01/M05 Q1021 R25/29//94 NOSIG Does anybody know what the highlighted part means? R25 would likely be runway 25, not sure about the rest though. Thanks!

I'm working on an aviation charter sim and need to know. Thanks

What was this guy thinking...or, that he was NOT thinking... Post Edit: Actually, I reconsidered posting this...and removed the youtube....for it is quite graphic... He didn't make it... 'nuff said.

Greetings, This is not meant to be instructive, by any measure. Instead, I hope to convey some of the ... ahem... pleasure I encountered from a guy that normally flies GA VFR attempting to fly GA IFR. A succinct summary would be: Please expedite your climb.. Please expedite your descent... Hand off to Norcal/Oakland/Auckland/Tralfamador Hand off to Tralfamador/Auckland/Oakland/Norcal Please expedite... And my favorite, after I ignored a go-around (I was tired), "Did you hear my last transmission..." I could have sworn the guy got testy with me... What a nag!!! This is all with the bog-standard ATC in P3Dv3. I may have made an unfortunate choice …

What would your choice be ? Mine - IL-2 Battle of Stalingrad / Moscow
