Just noticed the daily quote in the corner when I came onto AVSIM....Looks great and I like the idea.Cheers Tom

Ever wondered what a cruise pilot is doing in an ultra long-haul flight? Here's a great article at PPRuNe:http://www.pprune.org/fragrant-harbour-wannabes/469949-cx-so-all-you-need-know.html

I recently purchased the Pilot In Command 737 300/400/500 and i cant seem to find the GPS switch. Does anone know where this is ?

I have been rather disappointed, rather upset at what AVSIM has decided to do with shutting down (effectively and ultimately, censoring any further comments upon the matter and subject of Microsoft's Flight), and stating that any further discussions that 'migrate' to another forum shall be draconically handled by deletion by the sites administrators....First off, let me state that AVSIM is owned and operated by a private concern. We are all here as guests to this site by invitation of said owner and/or owners. No doubt we all ABSOLUTELY appreciate that this site is even available in the first place!!! I know that I do. I absolutely appreciate every facet of AVSIM and To…

My condolences to the families involved. This particular flight shows the incorrect use of aggresive rudder imputs by AA pilots which was taught as a part of their training.

Has anyone tried out the Lionheart Avelina for fs9?

We are doing this poll to check out somethings that might be issues or not.

Can anyone get into the forums from an Android/IOS device right now? I have tried on 2 Android devices running different versions with no luck as well as hearing reports from i-Pad/IOS users they are unable to get in as well...I can get to Avsim.com but can not get into the actual forums... Anyone having any luck from a non-Windows mobile device?-Paul

You may have noticed a new side bar bit of content.

Simply click on the "View All Quotes" and you will be able to contribute your quote there. Hope you enjoy!

HelloIf Flight! turns out to be a success and corners the Flightsim market as MS obviously hope it will.What will become of our favourite sites such as AVSIM, Flightsim.Com and Simflight.With any third party involvement at least 2/3 years away and a dwindling market in FS9 and FSX addons, where is the advertising revenue going to come from to sustain the hobby sites such as this.I know from my own experience that when I moved from FS9 to FSX my addon buying moved exclusively to FSX.No real harm done there as I simply bought FSX product from the same developers as I had supported in FS9.But this time around it is different, I can financially only justify buying for one pl…

A C-130 not only being able to land on an aircraft carrier (USS Forrestal) but to do so unarrested and takeoff without catapult assist!! (It's more toward the middle to end of the video. (The beginning is interesting as well!!)

Over the next week or so we are going to be rearranging and adding menu functions above. There are some changes coming that will require those changes and the menu real-estate is getting a bit jumbled and crowded. So, when the menu's start moving around and you can't find something, keep looking!!! It will be there somewhere! :(

Some "grumps" were earlier bemoaning the fact that they did not have the where-with-all, fortitude, stamina, or staying power to attend to their flight simulators, rather than spending their time here on AVSIM. Having addictive personalities are a sad, sad thing. But, I thought they needed to be shown they are not alone. Here are some stats as of this evening. Keep in mind that FLIGHT was released on 28 February... Nough said.

Enjoy! FYI Shorts 360 for those curious.

Southwest landing at KALB, Albany International Airport. Good flare and rollout, by the book.

I am not sure if the new "most logged in" list is causing strange behaviour or just highlighting it. I would love for someone to explain why anyone would need to be logged in to these forums 24/7.
