I want to start this FS-aircraft-manufacturing entity, but I already have a product to start with: the A340-600F, and 8 liveries for that aircraft, based on the A340-600HGW. I need some help to start it, as I can't test/paint all the aircraft alone. The SCCB would be specialized in cargo reconversion of pax aircraft... such as the E175 or the A319. I know a couple of things about repainting aircraft or testing them in the game (and the basics of website making, too).Anyone interested?

I was wondering how many couples flightsim together? How many females enjoy flightsiming with or without there partners? Are there any fun stories of couples flightsiming together? How many men would like to share FSX with there other halves? How can FSX become sexy?Dave

Interesting article today. That kid has certainly got his act together. You can just ell he will be going places with his life. Good inspiration... best of luck to him.They say he his flying a Columbia 400 for his journey. Tried to see if there was one for FS2004 but didn't come across any.ClutchPrject 9 Dragons

Saw it at ORD today. Not as long as I imagined, but quite tall.

WoW, Talk about a quick departure, I will never think that the FS9 Learjet's quickness is wrong again.I was surprised at how fast this small plane is, and the climb rate is very impressive.http://flightlevel350.com/Aircraft_Learjet...Video-3005.html

Some call it a perfect landing, some call it a bad landing. Whatever your view, I'd be interested to know what was the actual cause for the significant rudder input on touchdown?I'm speculating the uneven change in air pressure under the aircraft initiated some lift on one side as the pressure looked to stabilize?Wind conditions were favorable and on close inspection of the video it does NOT look like a major difference in left or right wheel set contact with runway.Your thoughts.Rob.

Not FS-related, but I'm planning a trip and possible relocation, and would be grateful for anyone with firsthand knowledge of Recife, Fortaleza and Salvador de Bahia - preferably as a resident or long-term visitor.Falo Portugues. [email protected]

For some reason last night I decided to install both these classics. Even 8 years or so after release they are both still very good! I notice that the pitch stability in both seems is much more realistic than FS9 or FSX. What is it with MS? Why is it harder to fly an FS plane than it is to fly that plane in real life. Anyway...I never played Fly II much when it was new- I don't think I bought it until about a year after it's release. I noticed last night that the "Sahara" is a Saratoga! Cool! And a pretty good one at that. I put in some weather and bounced around the same air I do in real life. The scenery is... sparse... but the sound and the feel of flight wer…

About a year ago I started up my pursuit of a dream--Sport Pilot. But availability of aircraft was scarce as popularity of Sport Pilot grew and I could book fewer and fewer lessons. My CFI felt I was far enough along to purchase an aircraft of my own to finish my training.I kid you not, every single dang aircraft seller I have met over the course of the past year, and I've met a good half dozen, has been a scam artist. The final straw was when I flew to the east coast a week ago and offered a deposit on an aircraft. But the night I returned, lo and behold, someone called and offered the jerk more money. I wasted a thousand bucks, and even if I sued the guy for fraud,…

An upstart airline that's planning on operating between the US and Russia,http://www.baltia.com/Check out what they call their frequent fliers!:-lol - Paul

We have some GREAT freebie russian planes and if you can figure it out they are lots of fun to fly... but for some reason russian planes in general kinda creep me out... i wouldnt want to fly in one... perhaps maybe because they are not too good with maintance with their 'machines' from figthers to submarines and all....would you fly in a russian plane?:)

Hi pilots I come on behalf of Alexandre Alves, CEO of the new virtual airline, the Air Passerin. Air Passerin is a virtual airline, based on Caribbean.

In real world flap failure on a commercial airliner,are there redundant backup ways of lowering flaps -are there alternate electrical or mechanical devicesengineered into the aircraft.If not, how does one land?Peter Sydney Australia

Do pilots regularly clear their middle ear, by swallowing etc? Is it rare for a pilot to do the "valsalva" procedure i.e. blocking your nose and blowing into your ears?Thanks for your time :)
