Good team work, see for yourself...

I though this was cool: http://hint.fm/wind/ Unfortunately, it is only surface winds.

Hi If you haven't heard already, thought I'd announced this great news - this quote from Eagle Dynamics, producers of the DCS series: Source: TFC/ED Newsletter, April 2012 This effectively means a simulator platform, instead of study sim. Nice that 3rd party stuff will be allowed!

I hope these guys aren't on my next flight

Love the new AVSIM front page! Makes it look ultra modern, clean and easy to follow. Congratulations to the design team! :good:

It's my timid question yet I'm curious... I ain't no expert in marketing thingy or such and it is not my business to dig developers policy in marketing (and so are you non developers) but we pay for their products, thus little knowledge on this won't harm them. I wonder Is creating a product that compatible for FSX or FS9 only costs less than working on dual compatibility pack (FSX/FS9)? I'm aware (aren't we all?) that PMDG has stated their disappointment with Douglas 11 selling. I don't know if other developers which released "combo" products had the same "failure" but the case may slightly differ, I'm not really sure but I think iFLy is fairly satisfied with their …

This a landing one can practice in the tea break! vololiberista

I was just wondering if we have any kids on the forum who play FSX. It would be nice to know as I am only 11 years old...If so, What computers do you have?What add-ons do you have?Frank

I was browsing Youtube and came across this hilarious video about a kid trying to make his own action movie! I just couldn't resist posting it on here! Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VCfbryEl9dY He must've had too much Ovaltine! Sorry if this video is not supposed to be on here.

"An Australian pilot said he was forced to make a harrowing landing reminiscent of a Hollywood thriller after a snake popped out from behind his dashboard and slithered across his leg during a solo cargo flight." http://www.cbc.ca/ne...ot-landing.html "As the plane was landing, the snake was crawling down my leg, which was frightening," he told Nine.

I'm kinda new to the civilian sim scene. I abandoned the civilian sims ten years or so ago in favor of sims like the DCS A-10 which I think I'm pretty proficient in.Now, having returned to civilian flight sims I'm very surprised to see how much progress had been made in the area of payware add-ons. Some of these planes are just plain amazing! Same goes for the scenery.But I must say: it is quite expensive once you start on a shopping spree what with the planes and the scenery add-ons and whatnot. I have already spent $250 and I'm not finished yet and that's not even counting the actual sim (x-plane $80 and P3D $50). How much have you guys spent on this and do you also pla…

In a week or so I will be off to the states for the first time to visit New York for a couple of days. Was wondering if anyone could tell me what to expect from the flight? So far I have gathered that it will be an British Airways (Operated By American Airlines) 757-200. I am slightly confused about what level of entertainment will be available since AA's website says that personal entertainment devices are in all classes for international flights however the 757 does not have this. Also what will the seats will be like and will it be worth asking for an upgrade on the return flight since it will be overnight? All I can say is I am defiantly looking forward to se…

after husband/pilot dies in flight. Looks like she bounced it and colapsed the nose gear, but considering the report is that she lost the right engine and the left was going out (due to fuel starvation) not so bad a landing all considered. Reports is that she had "100s" of hours alongside her husband, and did a llittle stick time at one point as a precaution, so I suppose you couldn't call her a complete noob at it. http://www.fox11online.com/dpp/news/local/lakeshore/plane-makes-hard-landing-in-door-county scott s. .

I posted a poll on this topic in the FSX forum...I would like you guys to participate if possible..http://forum.avsim.net/topic/367997-would-you-like-to-see-more-business-jet-in-fsx/

I'm considering buying this for my fsxexrerience. My system is as follows: Intel 2.6 ghz quad core processor 4 gb ram Nvidia 8800gt graphics card 640 gb hd

Is there a forum page for P3d in AVSIM yet? I looked, but can't find one. There a several posts on different forum pages, but I don't see a dedicated P3d page. Thanks.

The Tokyo Narita airport is known for extreme weather conditions (seen some crash landings too).So take some tranquilizers, turn up your speakers and see what was happening yesyerday at Narita. And a bonus, for the toughest:

I'm trying to register to another site but this questions got me stumped :("Registration Question. Please Answer! What are the three alpha-numeric initials that describe the version of Microsoft Flight Simulator released in 2003?"
