I got an email from someone fanatically asking for the registration number of a recent paint I uploaded. When I told him to simply look at the plane, the reg is there he got very irate and then blamed me for not putting the registration number in the text file (among other things). When I asked him who he was with, this is the response I got: We are The UACCUAWWA United Aircrew Consortium assoc World Wide Ops. for short Pertaining to world wide flight assnmts We operate from single piston Private Commercial ATP, to the A380 and any and all of everything in between. That's why we need nothing ficticious. We bypass all the stupid garbage out there that we don't need.…

Hello! I'm using infinte flight on a Ipad and I'm loving it! Ground-effect missing As a long time flyer with MS Flight simulator (since more than 15 years) I like to make nice landings as real as posssible! But what I'm missing is ground-effect as with real planes. Normally when the plane (airliner) approach 10 to 20 meters above the ground you could take back the power lever smootly, reduce the descent rate to less than 100 fts/s and put the plane without to empty out a water glass. But with Infinite Flight the plane will fallen to stall in the same way if the plane is in the air (same speed and same flaps settings). So ground-effect is realy missing! Arra…

Not very often do I get to express my thoughts about how lucky I was to be raised in the KBZN area and proud to call it home, but wow, when I visited ORBX's website today, I noticed they announced that they are adding KBZN to their inventory of Airports. Well, I just about fell off my chair.. Haven't been that excited about a announcement of new Airport scenery in a long time. I have traveled to many beautiful places throughout the world but I have to admit I always enjoy flying over Yellowstone Park, the Gallatin Mountain Range over Lone Mountain (Big Sky) and into Gallatin Field that has the back drop of the Bridger Mountain range. As a young man, I never knew how L…

I've always been a fan of those big, beautiful propliners from the 50s and early 60s, such as the B377, Constellation, Dc-7 etc. I've done some searching lately to try to find out which one of these great aircraft that was the fastest (in terms of normal cruising speed). As far as I can tell it would be the Dc-7C, but maybe there is another, less known one? Also, when it comes to the slightly later turboprop airliners, which of them would be the fastest? The Lockeed Electra?

Anyone other than yours truly fatigued by the over dominance of PMDG T7 traffic crowding the list of Recent Forum Topics here? Topics about other subject matter are getting washed away in the deluge. Seems way too saturated for a an industry wide flight simulation site. Does PMDG not have their own web site with forums for all of this?

I've viewed a couple of justplane videos and there's a question I would like answered. When requesting pushback, the pilot informs ATC that they are at gate C30 with whiskey. What is the meaning of "with whiskey" ? In some videos this has changed from whiskey to yankee. Could someone please enlighten me. Thanks Trevor
