Robin Williams has been found dead http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/08/11/robin-williams-dead-dies_n_5670050.html A true legend. Rest in peace!

Hi guys, I'm not sure where to post this, so bear with me if I'm in the wrong forum. This is flight sim oriented. Bascially I have the Saitek Pro Flight Yoke. I also want a Logitech G27 racing wheel. I don't want to buy two stands for them. Is there a wheel stand pro unit that works with both? It seems it's just a plate you can mount on to, but they seem to sell seperate models, which seems to be a waste (unless I just want to store both for easy swapping, which I can understand)

I was explaining to one of my customers about how Air Force One is not an actual aircraft but the call sign for the airplane the US President is on. I was wondering if any former US Presidents ever flew as a PIC in General Aviation aircraft while in office. The only President I could think of would be George Bush Senior but I think he gave up flying years before. Would be cool to hear a radio transcript of a President doing Circuits on a GA aircraft at a local airport....but not sure if it has ever happened. President: Tower this is Air Force One type Cessna for touch and go... Tower: You are cleared for Touch and Go Mr President. I think that woul…

my worst, most disappointing paywares are: 1- World Traffic for Xplane10 2- SkyMaxx Pro for Xplane10 (clouds look out of place and many issues with real weather...only REX can save XP10) 3- Wilco CRJ for FSX 4- Wilco Airbus Evolution vol.2 5- BBS A330

I actually spent the time (21 minutes) to watch this "Prelude to Axanar" pseudo-documentary of the "Four Years War" between the Federation and the Klingons, which took place around twenty-one years prior to James Kirk becoming Capitan of the Enterprise. http://youtu.be/1W1_8IV8uhA This is some seriously cool stuff, and I am truly looking forward to the full movie that is being planned for release later this year. Quite honestly the quality of this production is even better than anything the major studios have ever done! This is NOT a "fan production!" The major players are well known actors Richard Hatch, Tony Todd, Kate Vernon, Gary Graham, and J.G. Hertzle…

Dear friends! I am writing here to inform you about this survey, which was prepared for all past, present and future simulator pilots. By filling out the survey you can experience positive changes in the virtual skies very soon. Thank you for attention

Hi all Curious to know if anybody knows what the subscription price for pfpx will be as the 1 year is almost up from release day. and will possibly require a renewal cheers

Hello. How can I report people for downloading Flight Simulator merchandise without paying for it? Do I send an email to the company whose product they are illegally downloading? I know the name and IP address of a few people doing this, and I'd like to report them because they are killing our hobby as well as committing piracy.There are also people on various torrent sites with pages of uploaded Flight Simulator DLC I'd like to report but I'm not sure who I should report them to. Ideally I would like to see them banned from these sites and their uploads removed. How should I inform the appropriate authority?

First off I can't pin this on one sim so I put this in Hanger Chat as REX is for all platforms we use for the most part. I can't quite nail this one down and I have the 'HD' version of REX. I've seen some great screenshots out there but have not found the right marriage for both FS9 and P3D v2.3. I settled on 'Bright' for a long time in FS9 until recently in watching YouTube videos found the upper level sight distance in the real world is always hazy with a ground sight distance of 150 miles or so depending on clouds (looking down from 20,000ft+). I also got sick of the detail box around the aircraft that is visible at 30,000ft killing the experience in FS9 (I still u…

Early heads-up to watch UK's Channel Four documentary called Worst Place To Be A Pilot---previews looked good.

Saw this on Gizmodo this morning and had to share it. http://sploid.gizmodo.com/watch-the-hilarious-race-between-two-planes-1623760000/+caseychan

Not recorded in the best conditions (video recording with high compression), but still a must see ! For those eventually not aware of it, PSX is the new version of the best ever B744 simulation for the PC -PS1. Ps1's latest version was released around 1997, and we have waited all these years for it's successor. It was certainly worth the wait! http://www.aerowinx.com/ PSX will allow for perfect synchronization with fsx or x-plane to get external visuals should you not find it's built in basic scenery enough.

Night Environment Denmark announced http://forum.aerosoft.com/index.php?showtopic=84013 as we keep on our Europe coverage mission Night Environment illuminates Denmark with 1 million 3D lights

Tomorrow I'll be beginning a cross country VFR journey from KPVG, Norfolk VA, to KAPC in the Napa Valley of California. The aircraft I've chosen is the A2A Cessna 172R equipped with the handheld Garmin 295. The route will be determined daily flown in current weather conditions and will steer toward GA airports. I wish to hand fly the majority of the crossing using the autopilot only when necessary. My aircraft will depart in excellent shape and I will allow a $500 maintenance budget along the way, I'll serve as my own mechanic and keep track of the real cost of items which hopefully will be $0! My biggest concern will be crossing the Rocky Mountains so I'll be looking fo…

Maybe a tad late but it will be repeated. If you get a chance, watch an absorbing docu on Jets: all about the Comet, the Britannia, VC-10, etc coming into service

to keep everyone on their toes, here’s a curve ball, NE Florida http://forum.aerosoft.com/index.php?showtopic=84157 Welcome to Miami (mixed images from P3D v2.3 & FSX)

This is pretty insane.

I have recently been stationed in Stuttgart Germany for a two year duty assignment. You can imagine how excited I was when they told me I was going to be living in Germany. I have been here for a little over two weeks and have been having a blast. I get along with the guys in my unit and we get to go out and have fun on the weekends. Well one night we went out to a bar for a couple of drinks and they took me to a local Irish bar that they said was a good place to hang out. So me and my buddies walked in there and this (I presume Irish based on her accent) bartender asks what we'll have. My buddies say what they want and I look seeing that the tap only has Guinness and…

hello everyone, thought I would share this here. the only I have ever flown virtually is FSX and commercial airliners an just got myself a copy of Elite Dangerous... I am officially addicted to this sim Any other virtual pilots who have only been flying earthly flight simulators, Elite Dangerous is simply an excellent alternative and I absolutely recommend it

http://avherald.com/h?article=45ee9215&opt=0 That was deadly bad. Cheers,
