Does anybody have an answer to my problem? When I slect a plane and fly and come back into the menu of FSX after stopping the flight the landing gear is down, it should be up in the menu. When I go into FSX the plane just starts bouncing like crazy, looks funny in some sort of strange way. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks in advance!

For anyone buying from PC Aviator please be aware that I was unable to purchase PFPX this morning using my credit card. When I phoned my CC company and asked what "This transaction has been declined. (Reason Code 2 / Sub 1)" meant they said it relates to the 3 digit number on the back of the card. I know I entered it correctly so sent a message to PC Aviator so they're aware of the problem. I paid with my PayPal account instead. If anyone from PC Aviator sees this message they might want to bring it to the attention of the right people. With the PFPX sale ending today it would be unfortunate if fans were unable to buy it with their credit card.

According to ch-aviation, KLM, the last major carrier using the MD-11 plans the last flight for October 2014. http://www.ch-aviation.ch/portal/news/22950-klm-tentatively-schedules-last-md-11-flight-for-late-2014 Rgds, Bruno PS (edit) : Hey, this is my 500 th post. I'm getting blabby !

This is interesting but does anyone know now the term "Rivet Joint" originated for this high dollar, high tech program? http://www.aviationweek.com/Article.aspx?id=/article-xml/awx_11_12_2013_p0-635893.xml&elq=c7be6bb94c7640f69058fdda34b7546d&elqCampaignId=12 Ray

Hey everyone I was trying to get some first hand information on which airline i should use next time i travel to the States.I have always flown to America with Aer Lingus but this time would like to try another carrier. After weeks of research on various websites and looking at many youtube videos i am still at a loss to which US carrier to choose. I would like to travel Business Class with my fiancee so seating together with a window seat is a must, my direct from Dublin options are Delta 767: United 757: US Airways 757 or American Airlines 757 Which of these airlines offer the best service using the aircraft mentioned So far i am leaning slightly towards…

Those where the days, do you remember ?

This is a great app and I can tell a lot of work has gone into it but it could really use a manual. Especially for newbs to flight sims and flight in general.. Maybe someone can donate the efforts to create one? A complete manual covering every aspect of the app would be great.. I'm the type who likes to understand all that an app has to offer and I could use some help understanding how to use the various symbols in the map. I have figured out most of it but theres a couple things I cannot understand: VORS - I have found real world explanations for these as a "VHF Omnidirection Range" but I don't see how you can use them in this sim. AIRWAYS - It looks like th…

Hey guys and gals I need some help. I have three monitors setup and I need to know how to change my FOV so that I can see the whole cockpit. I have tried a lot so any help is appreciated. I really need help with this so please any input is appreciated

Hi So after spending awhile reading many things and not really getting my questions answered I am going to ask here. Is RNAV navigation required for commercial flights in Europe? (EU-OPS) Lets say, hypothetically, that there is an old DC-9 that is a private jet in Africa, it has not had any avionics improvements and wishes to conduct some flights in Europe, can it? I guess I am asking for the Coolsky DC9 but it applies to other aircraft as well, I understand it would not be RVSM approved so would be restricted to under FL290 but is it ok to still use Non-RNAV approved aircraft in European airspace? I just think I read somewhere that you cannot use the…

I've had problems in the past installing products from The Dreamteam. They have great products, but help for me on their forum is not very desirable. Virtuali is arrogent and demeaning. He is quick in saying that nothing is his fault and I'm the one that is making all the mistakes. I am not computer literate and sometimes his explainations are not clear. He's quick with a nasty attitude.I just had to vent this, maybe I'm the only one, but he has to remember that I'm the customer and should be treated with a little more respect.

Its not a joke. A company is actually offering a limited addition Beer, with the bottles decorated by various types of roadkill skillfully immortalized by a taxidermist. The product line is called "The end of History" And each bottle goes for $1000. Hopefully you will all take this story in the friendly "how bizarre is the world" tone in which it was intended. http://www.brewdog.com/blog-article/341 You want some? Too bad, they've sold out! But you can still try some of their "Tactical Nuclear Penguin" Nope, I'm not joking, that's really the name of the drink.

Hello Folks, it just came into my mind that this years fall/winter will (might) be full of interesting new products: - P3D V2 - Oculus Rift (3D goggles) - fsdt cargo extension for e.g. T7F - HiFi's revolutionized WX engine, probably bringing dusty and unserviceable WX radar panels to live? Am I missing the one or the other? Please report! Also very interesting on the A/Cs side will be PMDG's service packs and/or extensions. Probably Majestic's Dash8 Q400 Pro/Training editions will see the light of day. The "race of the busses" between Aerosoft Airbus X A320/321, BlackBox A320/330 Xtreme and last but surely not least Flight Sim Labs A320-X won't be finis…

Hello. I am an old member on Avsim from 1990 from the beginning on internet. I have had many Conversations with my Old parents, and Grant parents about ww2. Europe. My relatives will never share their life combat war,with me, most "all of it", the horror of the air war 1943,They just toald me i was a horror lost of people, and everyone take cover with The sound of The Stuka 87 Divebombers. There is From 20012 released A new Documentary Not allowed for 70 years to see. Many will see "Andy Rooney from 60 minutes" reporting from the US newspapers. This shows trhe Brutale airwar 25.000 ft. over Europa 1943- viewer disgression is adviced.. Link: …

http://www.simflight.com/2013/11/08/psx-aerowinx-747-400-final-works/ i have recently moved to X-Plane 10, for good, and am very happy with my FINAL decision, but Aerowinx PS1 was my best ever airliner sim, for one of my preferred airliners of all times. Now PSX is comming along fast, and will have the possibility to use either FSX or X-Plane visuals!!! WHOW!!! Oh my credit card :-(

http://www.theverge.com/2013/11/8/5080192/microsoft-ceo-candidate-stephen-elop-bing-xbox-rumors If MS sold off Xbox they would be killing off a huge cash cow… and pretty much walking away from gaming all together... I'd watch this closely, as it would give us a small peek into MS thinking as far as gaming goes and any hopes of a future resurrection of Flight Simulator… Which, right now appears to be near zero.

Just a video I bumped into on the "Tube" I thought it was pretty interesting. Some of the incidents made me wince. :blink:

I saw a glimpse of this on a news bulletin earlier today and had to do a bit of searching on the internet for more footage which I eventually found at NBC news Link to NBC news main page: http://www.nbcnews.com/ Link direct to story (which may not work) http://usnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2013/11/04/21308806-exclusive-images-show-skydivers-terrifying-collision-and-chaotic-plunge?lite On the weekend two skydiving planes collided, one of them had the left wing torn off and when it did the fuel exploded into a fireball. The footage is taken from cameras attached to various skydivers who were still in the planes and you can clearly see one of the planes tumbling fro…

So what was it like to fly these aircraft in battle. Listen to my grandfather (the other one) talk about his experiences flying over the front during WW1. He was 19 years old. This is all I have of an interview he did in the 70's. It's possible the remaining parts of the original recording still exist somewhere. This is really fascinating and I want to share it with you on this forum.

Not quite full scale haha but its a looker has retracting gear and working flaps, Flys like a dream too.

Amazing! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X9IlPDOar7E Sorry if it's already been posted, but I had never heard of it before.

Recently Boeing test flew an F16 fitted out as a remotely controlled drone. It appears that all went well- including a landing described by one observer as the best F16 landing he had ever seen. One has to wonder if the old gag about automated & pilotless airliners, may yet come about! Given the acoounts of crew sleep deprivation and general flight deck procedural errors, perhaps that day may not be as far away as we have imagined. In a related story, the USAF Academy reports cadets filling only about one third of the slots needed for drone pilot training. You don't suppose that is one objective for Lockheed/Martin & P3D ? It's a fast changing world out the…

Hi guys, Can anyone help me find some real world routes that are flown by the ERJ 135/140/145, by any of these airlines:- United (Express Jet) Delta (Connection) Continental Air France Luxair BMI Regional (got all of these!) British Airways Or would be interested in any other routes operated by ERJs in other airlines, but just to clarify, it's routes I'm interested in. rather than airlines that operate the ERJ. Many thanks in advance!
