Seems anyone can sign up for a simulator session. Scant 15min but sign up a few times for an hour, heh.

This is pretty neat. A 727 does a couple low approaches to a short field airport near PANC and then lands in order to donate it to the GA school.

Need your help guys.. with Captain Sim 777-200/300 and how to set up a 2D panel like the JB777 Panel. I know some will say, it’s better to use VC and I respect this feeling, but I like a 2D panel and the JB777 one is clear.. When you get a little older you need a clear panel.. The product version is now 1.000 and this is the version I have and also there two versions Captain_Sim.x773.sys.gau & Captain_Sim.x777.sys.gau, I can get the under carriage to show up but not make rudder or flaps work.. Anyway.. If anyone out in the big FSX AVSIM world has done, please let me know how to fix. Cheers Bobj

You know you spend too much time on FSX/X-Plane when: 1. You're sat on a real airplane looking out of the window, thinking "Wow good graphics, no blurries". 2. You know the exact name of the approach, and can see the VOR out the window and know its frequency and name, and that the plane is about to turn. 3. The best picture you have of your holiday is the one you took of the cockpit of the 737 4. You have charts on your iPad and check them during a real flight as a passenger. 5. When the plane is going down the runway, you say in your head "V1, V2, Rotate" Also I used to be a nervous flyer, the PMDG 737 has cured me. I now know just how safe these things are a…

A pilot I know--in fact the pilot who helped me obtain my Sport Pilot student license, was involved in a crash earlier this week. His Challenger II Microlight suffered an engine malfunction and he had to land his aircraft on a two lane highway near Phoenix. He landed safely but his aircraft hit a road sign and he went off the road. His aircraft was totaled but he and his passenger walked away uninjured. He's the first pilot I've known personally who has had an accident. He's been a presence at most of the airshows I've went to. Ironically, his Challenger would have been the aircraft I used, had I resumed my training. He's a CFI and has offered many times to hel…

Hello fellow simmers, Recently we had the chance to take an interview with Lars Pinkenburg of 29Palms Scenery Design. We are very proud to offer you our second exclusive interview with another leading scenery designer within the flightsim community. Where did this company took its name from, what about DEX and future plans of 29Palms? Read it all in this interesting interview with Lars Pinkenburg here at PCFlightsimnews! Kind regards, John Akkermans PCFlightsimnews!

Pretty good flying from the Helicopter Pilot: http://youtu.be/cLpYbfZz0xE

I love these guys. Peoples lives need to be broken up by the amusingly unexpected, sometimes. B) You can find out more about Improv Everywhere's little pranks here, but below are some old favorites. There are plenty more on the tube'. Have fun!!!

Just saw this today and it has to be my favorite cockpit video for an airliner. Great video with quite a few approaches and landings. And watch how he manipulates the sidestick, crazy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=nYDba1UsgHc#!

I am a bit confused about the PC-12 (Flight1) range. Different sites cite the range of the aircraft as anything between 1500 nm and 2600 nm! Now Irealize that rnge can depend on load, wind, speed and altitude, but there must be a standard. The producer of the real aircraft quotes a range of 1500 nm with 3 passengers, and there is a version with 9 passengers and there is a cargo version. I have flown around the World in this aircraft and was achieving about the 2200 nm range the simulator advertises - I was probably alone, but it was over a year ago and I don't remember. But today Iset up a flight in Ideal Flight from Quebec to Varadero about 1500 nm), and I had to st…

I'm going to be up in Sedona, AZ in a couple of weeks and being a sea level flat-lander I think I should seize the opportunity to get some instruction. Has anyone done training up in this area and are there any schools they would refer? My instructors are not familiar with anyone out there. Thanks!

Break open the champagne folks, I'm not going to be fired / outsorced to Belgium/Timbuktu! http://www.rte.ie/news/2012/1218/varadkar-refuses-ryanair-offer-for-aer-lingus-business.html Whoop whoop whoop whoop whoop! Best Christmas present I could've asked for... ^_^ :lol:

Hi all, As a little boy, I always wanted to become an airline pilot, but I've pretty much already given up on that. The reason is, my eyes are not the best. I am not necessarily visually impaired, but my eyes are are just a bit under the average, which is not good enough to become an airline pilot. First of all, my vision is not 20/20 (or 100% in Dutch measurements), my maximum vision per eye is around 17/20 (85%) max. The requirements for airline pilot are 20/20 (100%) vision. Also, I use corrective lences because I have a spheric deviation of -6.50 Dioptres and a cylindric deviation of -1.25. I know that is not within the limits for an airline pilot in Europe (limit…

I'm currently looking to buy a headset for flying on VATSIM. It would have to be a USB connection as my laptop mic imput doesn't work anymore. My budget is 70 AUD. Does anyone have any recomendations or suggestions for what I should get? Any particular products/brands to stay away from because of bad experience? All imput is welcome! Thanks

Am still amazed....in only just over 6 years, they have built a WHOLE new airport to replace good old SEQU in Quito, Ecuador. Spurred on by the Iberia A340-600 overrun in 2006 (http://avherald.com/h?article=422bdd7d) , the Government fast-tracked the reaplacement airport, which was built 18kms away from the city, the new ICAO designator is SEQM. http://www.sangay.com/ecuadorguide/ecuador/new-quito-international-airport-starts-operating-february-20-2013/ I still say I am amazed...here it has taken over 15 years to start contruction of a much needed parallel runway for YBBN, and as for the replacement of Sydney airport...well, let's just not go there.

http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/articles/438563/20130223/boeing-dreamliner-787-battery-fix-faa-airbus.htm I vote cover-up! I for one won't be on that a/c when the battery explodes possibly ruptiring the hull etc etc etc. l-ion batteries are too much of a risk. They don't take kindly to high charge rates. Overheating is a common problem during high charges.
