    I am wondering if anyone has had this problem; I order something from Simshack.net two weeks ago, have not received the product, and have sent three inquiries to them with no reply. Does anyone have any history with them or have any idea how to contact them? This is especially frustrating since I have never ordered from them before.

    I am flying the Duke and love it. I do have a question about the pressuization. When you set the ALT on the Pressurization panel, do you set it for the altitude you are going to be climbing to before you take off? Also, when you are descending unto your destination, when do you reset the ATL back to Regular?Thanks

    Maybe I'm wrong, but I feel that most of the people that hit the "Kosh" post don't realize that this annual aviation event is produced by an amateur organization that is basically about building, modify, designing and building your own aircraft, etc. Here is a link to their website. Anyone can join, you don't have to be a pilot and in addition to all the services it offers its members, they throw in a very interesting monthly magazine. Don't take this wrongly, Oshkosh Air Venture is a magnificent annual aviation event, but it is only one part of a great general aviation organizationhttp://www.eaa.org/Roger

    Currently I have XP home. After about 20 installs I can't get a validation over the net. I have to phone to get a validation after the 30 days expires or any time before.I was wondering if I had XP Pro if I can just install XP as many times as I want and not have to call for a validation. I am just tied of calling Microsoft every time.Don't bother asking why I install XP so many times. It just a thing.JimCYWG

    Clearly I'm doing something here. After unzipping my files into my aircraft folder, I can choose/fly the planes with no problems, however the textures (paint schemes) aren't showing while I'm in flight. Just a white shell of an aircraft. Beyond that, everything else is fine.What am I doing wrong here?

    This article is about 2-months old, but when you read it slowly and think about it, the problems and conditions it exposes, not necessarily the very low pay for the new pilots, but the physiological- beating these young people go through to be able to work. Pathetic!http://www.nytimes.com/2009/05/14/nyregion...ml?ref=nyregionRoger

    Hey Guy's,Remember Graham Waterfield of PSS creators of the Airbus Pro, Boeing 777 etc well looks like they will be coming back this Spring with NEW and improved product's http://www.phoenix-simulation.co.uk/ . Look here for a previous review of their old Beoing 777 http://www.avsim.com/pages/0700/b777pss/b777pss/pss.htmlInteresting Antony Waterfield (Grahams son) has now taken over and bought all rights but let's hope both the product's and support are massively improved.Enjoy!

  23. Hi thereFirstly I am not trying to start arguments just trying to find opinions and points of view.1. Do you agree with the Virgin Galactic program?2. Do you agree with the American Airlines and British Airways merger?My thoughts on Virgin Galactic are that I personally think it could be the worst mistake in Science and Aviation/Space travel history.50 years ago aviation was an incredible experience and to us aviation enthusiasts it still is.But to the rest of the public aviation is a normal part of life and sitting on a plane for more than 2 hours is their idea of hell.Is this how space may become?With NASA working on sending man back to the moon and mars space will beco…
