Dang, there's a lot of stuff to keep on track!I think I need to add the words "reset timer" between checkpoints.Also landed after sunset... Once the daytime visuals you're used to seeing and using disappear, well.. that's a whole different thing right there. And - as a bonus - learned the 20/20 heading trick. Just sayin'.

Ill be doing my RPP flight test this saturday and i was just wondering from anyone whos done a flight test if i would fail if i dont get the weight and balance stuff right. I dont understand it very well and i just want to know if i would fail the test because of that.

Hey allI recently got a ppl and a taidragger endorsement. I will be starting complex engine training this weekend in a piper arrow. My ultimate goal is to become an aerobatic pilot.I have been toying with the idea of buying an aircraft, and was wondering what present plane owners think about it, is it worth it, any regrets, etc...I have always said "if it floats or flies, it's cheaper to rent than to buy." Which is true, but It's not easy to even find a SuperDecathlon(my planned purchase) to rent, I live in Tampa FL, and there are no flight schools in the area that even have one(I have to go to Orlando or Miami).The whole process seems a little daunting as there are in…

I downloaded the latest wee tune beastie from sky blue radio and cannot get it to connect to FSX. It keeps saying fsx is not running when really it is. Any help would be greatly appreciated on the proper procedure to listen to sky blue radio from within FSX.Best Regards,Robert

do airlines offer a way to listen to pilot atc communications while onboard? i know united has channel 9. do any other airlines around the world offer this?thanks,Darryl Baniaga

I don't normally rant regarding sports, especially soccer, but what just transpired with the call against the US and the loss of a score is outrageous! Three obvious fouls occurring simultaneously by the Slovenians against the US, and the US is denied the goal is too much. That ref is either incompetent or corrupt. The US was denied a clear victory over Slovenia and had to accept a tie. If this is not rectified, FIFA should be embarrassed and once again will show how incompetent a group it is.

This is a site I found, that has a wealth of information on procedures, and technical data for a wide variety of aircraft, including most airliners. So for those who don't already know about it , here's the link!http://www.smartcockpit.com/

Lots of demand, better make a NEW version!http://www.microsoft.com/Products/Games/FS...es/soldOut.aspx

All,Just coming back into the FSX world. What is the latest with Aerosoft 2012? I visited their forum and they haven't provided any recent developments.One of the questions riased over there however was the age of FSX gaming engine. Is a new gaming engine the cure for FSX?Tim

Hi there,I was reading through the tech specs on the b737.org.uk website for the FMC, and as suspected, they are running some rather retro hardware down there in those computer bays

I'd like to record the audio of my RW flights through my headset line & be able to capture both transmitted and non-transmitted audio... Can anyone recommend some type of jack for this?FWIW it's even better if I can go from my headset line(s) into a video line-in!Thanks,Andrew

For the past two years or so, it has been our unrealized goal to redesign AVSIM. This redesign would be our chance to bring together a modern

I'm an engineering student at a local university, and for one of my summer classes I was assigned a project to analyze some design with bearings in it. Being an aviation fan, I decided to do the bearings in the main gear of a 757. However, I'm having trouble tracking down technical specs on that. Is there somewhere that has drawings/specs/detailed tech info on the main gear assembly of a 757?I've been looking through Boeing's site and Googling like crazy, but I've come up empty so far.

i saw this on Google images and i nearly fell over backwards when i saw it. Does anyone know anything about this?

I know this isn't directly related to aviation, but since I did offer this program a while back as a way to build custom VA logos, please humor me.A couple of years ago I released a program called "Spirapaint", mostly as an educational tool but also for us nostalgia buffs who remember the days of the good old fashioned Spirograph.From time to time I google my title just to see where it's cropping up. I found it at this link:http://spira-paint.softwareandgames.com/These clowns have been charging people $1.50 per download even though my license clearly states that the product cannot be sold for profit or for non-profit.My question, since I don't have deep pockets--how do I…

I saw this, kinda makes me go hmmm. I hope this is not the rumored Xbox LIVE version. But if all my GF and yoke/rudder works on the Xbox I may be OK with this. Flight Simulator LIVEKevin

I spent most of my life in Napa, I lived there from 1967 until the early 90's. The first GA flight I ever took, and the first aircraft I ever flew, were both out of its airport. It started as a military field and grew to a rather busy GA field (although it had airline service at one point). Today it handles GA of all types as well as private jets all the way up to the Boeing BBJ and MD-80.A big player at Napa was IASCO, an academy used by Japan Airlines to train its pilots. IASCO has been part of Napa since the 70's. Its pilots were housed in a complex in North Napa, and it was not unusual to run into them while shopping nearby. They were incredibly polite and curio…

Nothing to see here. Move along. :)

I've seen on a few topics that ifly is working on the 737? Is there a place where I could get more information on that? I went to the iFly support forum but there was no information there either...

EDIT: Didn't know a topic was already started on this but since I already posted/uploaded might as well get some more feedback, here's mine:I didn't like losing Northwest to an over bloated modified Delta now Continental/United are trying to merge. There's something to be said about having these too big to fail monstrosities forming. I hope this time around this doesn't go through and another way is found for the airlines to manage costs... This new proposed union wants to absorb USAirways as well after their merger deals are over. It's almost like an ego somewhere can't deal with what Delta has done... Concerning the world of FS, WOAI hasn't caught up with the last m…

I have just released my UMMU and UCGO compatible Star Gate Universe shuttle.It can be found at Orbithanger or at the Project Rag Tag Fleet forum.Have fun with it.Jon
