This is insane: http://youtu.be/CXG0Mhp7VFk I would love to see an in-car GoPro Camera view.

I'm curious. How many fellow forum members here are from Poland?. I've been looking around for flight simulator and general aviation forums, and there aren't many which are active. There seems to be some good product recently for Polish simmers, e.g. Drzwiecki design and VFR-Poland, so maybe I'm missing something. Everyone I speak to has no idea even what FSX or X-Plane is. Nie napisałem po polski, bo nie wiem, czy tutaj można

Have you seen this already? Look interresting though... http://pal-v.com/

Hey everyone, on monday I have my instrument checkride and I've been studying my butt off trying to get all the neccessary knowledge in my head. My instructor had all his checkrides with the guy I am going with and he said that his oral exam is usually around 45 mins to an hour and then they go up in the plane to do the hold, approaches, unusual attitudes etc. He said that most of his questions are about weather and different scenario based questions. So for example, if you lost communications while in cruise what would you do to land at your intended airport.... Anyway, I was just wondering what common types of questions I might get asked during the oral exam. if th…

Hi Whats wrong with fsairliners.net ??? FINO Thomas

Quite a change from Office 2010! What else will they think of next?

New space sim on the Kickstarter: This has to be funded. It's basically hardcore sim in space. Game simulates spacecraft systems (like DCS/BMS), has clickable cockpit, and good potential. And it's a labor of love. Developer learnt programming to make a space sim he wanted to play since he was young. I'm not related to the developer, or the project, but I'd love to see that one funded.

No doubt most of you have heard or seen the classic movie "The Right Stuff"....when I was undergoing my training, a couple of decades ago (at least)...I watched a documentary called "The Wrong Stuff"...and it was absolutely riveting stuff! To my amazement, Daryl Lyons from Vatpac found the documentary on You Tube....this documentary was required viewing in the early days of the concept of CRM and many other studies towards better crew interaction, as well as crew-machine interaction. http://youtu.be/hhn9qu7Y9E4

Anyone see this video before? Either people are idiots shooting at a plane they hear buzzing overhead, or there is just that many people firing off guns into the air on new years eve that allow this thing to happen by "chance".

YouTube has a new 12 minute video of a flight from takeoff to landing on an aircraft carrier. Lots of fun flying here. You can see the video in its entirety at http://youtu.be/nw0gjw1XIIk Enjoy!

Hey all, I've been roaming around on flightaware and encountered this: http://flightaware.c.../flight/QFA6025 QFA6025 on a B763 is a flight done every 2 months or so by Qantas to Roswell Airport, New Mexico, United States from Honolulu, Hawaii, United States. Using Qantas' very own search engine, as well as expedia, I was unable to locate this flight for regular civilian travel. Also, I looked for the route in reverse and couldn't find anything. After viewing Roswell airport's information pages I was able to conclude there is nothing there for Qantas (as far as I can see!) I have no reason to believe they are retiring their 767's and placing them in storage there mu…

LatinVFR has released their version of KSAN. Looking at the vids on sim market it looks pretty good. It will be interesting to get feedback from users. Craig

Remember this news item from last May? http://travel.usatod...-delta/699512/1 The finalization of this transfer of the AirTran 717s from Southwest to Delta is supposed to happen in the next couple months. It also has some significance for FSX AI traffic add-ons. Has there been any news as to on what routes these aircraft are going to be used?

I saw just now that American and US Airways will merger. The boards of both companies approved it today. It will be the world's largest airline. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/02/13/american-airlines-us-airways-merger_n_2680094.html

Impressive clip of the Meteorite that fell in Russia today:

We have updated our menuing software and now are doing some experimenting with its new features. You may see some funcalities but not to worry. We'll announce any permanent changes if we implement them. Otherwise, just have a look, take a deep breath, accuse me of mucking things up AGAIN, and then just ignore them. They will most likely go away. A change that is now in effect... The FORUM tab must be double clicked to get the Forums to refresh, and the same is true with the LIBRARY tab. Double click it and it will take you immediately to the library.

Hard to believe 44 years ago the first Boeing 747 (City of Everett) took it's first flight on February 9th, 1969. My first flight on a Boeing 747 was back in 1980 on a Wardair B742 (Reg C-GXRD or cn 21517/368) en-route to PHNL (Honolulu). My dad asked if we could visit the cockpit and all I remember was walking from a luxurious cushy passenger cabin, into a shiny all steel cockpit with gauges and switches everywhere. I was sold.... When was your first flight on a B747? Have you ever wondered what happened to her? My Memory Today RJ

Guys and gals, my better half wants to get me a tablet as a Valentine's Day present, to which I am not going to object. LOL Our dilemma is... Which tablet to buy? I know this thread will turn into the usual iOS vs Android flame fest, to which I don't mind as long as there are valid arguments behind your choice of OS. Obviously, the tablet is geared toward someone hooked on Aviation and flight simulations, who is also looking at getting his PPL in the near future. He might even be able to work as a pilot for his Department in the near future as well. With this being said, I think I have it narrowed down to the following 2 choices: Apple iPad 3 with Retina Displ…

I'm leaving the 121 world for the 91 world again. After accepting employment it is amazing how many opportunities have come my way as well. It should really make the next two weeks exciting moving off the island and having a baby in a month! Bye bye Dash's and ATR's!

Regards that quote i refer too, about logging IP adresses, what about my account then, like me, i restart my modem every morning, maybe i get banned then?

Just wonder? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I have been here since 2004 and Avsim have been great place for me for so long time, Like me, i'm not member of "The Inner Circle" here or another place, just an ordinary guy, aged 54, who want's to get…

Took a flight in an MD80 series. Looked like the Maddog from Leonardo. Anyways, i'am from Canada, first time I had row 1. As we were boarding you could hear the what I thought was atis. I think it was. During landing I could hear the callouts above the ground through the door. 500 etc, etc. that was neat. Jim CYWG
