Not sure if this is the place to launch the question ...I recently switched from McAfee to Norton for various reasons and although I never had problems in FS9 with McAfee still running in the background, I now have regular stuttering with Norton.Some people will argue to turn you virus scanner and privacy protector off when in FS9 but how do you run ActiveSky if you are not on the Internet and how do you protect yourself if your Security system is not active ...?Which Security system will give you the firewall and spyware protection without making FS9 going slideshow?RegardsTerblanche

Hi all.I

A personal note of apology to Larry for a posting that I appeared to make to Larry in the now closed Flight 93 thread.My comment, #40, was not directed to Larry, but to the poster whose comments I now don't seem to be able to find. My comment to him/her was rather rhetorical, "...er and you point is", and appropriate what I was replying to as they were rather inflammatory. Again, that unknown posters comments now seem no where to be found, and a good thing based upon it

Don't know if anyone's seen this, but I searched the forums and got no hits - http://www.physics911.net/sagadevan.htmAnyone with more "heavy" knowledge than me (and that would be most of you, probably) care to comment?.......Andrew

G'Day!Here is a video of my first solo nav...http://3dflite.com/dac/vid/FLYINGTHEWARRIOR.wmv Keep an eye on the weather as it deteriorates the closer I get to my destination. I eventually had to divert when I reached Aeropelican and cut straight thru to Cessnock to the west.This video was taken last year during my early training...http://3dflite.com/dac/vid/FLYINGTHETOMAHAWK.wmv There more videos coming soon of a flight in the Duchess shown in this photo, and also some circuits at Bankstown in an Archer.http://3dflite.com/dac/P1010009.jpgThanks for watching, Have a great Day/Night where ever you are :D

Hi there I wonder if anyone can help. I have always had a long term ambition of becoming an airline pilot. I am 23 years of age and am hoping to start my flight training in about two years time once I have saved up atleast

I was on Flightaware tonight and I noticed a Qantas flight from PANC-KJFK. Are they hauling freight now??? Just curious, I thought it was interesting.http://flightaware.com/live/flight/QFA7521

Seeing that I live literally around the corner from CYOO I will be there. I was last year, and thoroughly enjoyed, albeit I suffered a sunburn to remember. It was worth it to sit in a brand new SR-22, and get to tinker!Is anyone here going to be there this June? If you are perhaps us flightsimmers could meetup for a Mr Frosty over by the west hanger!! :-hah[hr color=#000000][table border=0" width="98%" id="table1" height="4" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="2][td width=500]Jason[br /]General Aviation Fan[br][/b]P4 3.2Ghz, 1GB Ram, FX5900 128MB, XP SP2.[br /][br /]

Just from what I've read it's clear that the US military is looking to replace the C130's in the 2012-2014 timeframe. Who knows if they are seriously looking at the A400M (it won't fly until 2008)but there are also other concerns. Even if the US military stays with the C130, or another LockMartin variant, much of the rest of world has already agreed to shift to the A400M. That alone is going to have a major impact on the Marietta facility and puts into question the viability of the C130 program just based on the decrease in production numbers and the corresponding increase in the cost per unit. I'm up here in Alpharetta and I'm pulling for LockMartin also, but right now I…

Ive searched the major carriers but none of them have job openings in IT. Do they mainly outsource? Where can I find listings? Id like to work in the airline industry.Thanks,

Wrong site wrong forum, i also doubt that our "flightsimulator" had anything to do with this tragedy.

Hello, everyone.Do any of you know of good, free, small <1 MB, Web space site, that can be accessed without too much difficulty, and not too many adds.?Thanks, TV

I need to do a speech for English exam, and I chose aeroplanes.I need to find out the following:1) What is the presurre inside the tyres of a Boeing 747? How strong would an explosion be? (i.e., is a tyre exlposion as powerful as a car bomb? or what.)2) How many parts make up a plane?3) How thick are tyres?4) What different types of materials are used to make the body of the plane?5) What historic planes are there? (I know the Concord, first supersonic aircraft; DeHavilland Comet, first jet aircraft and kept on crashing due to (I am not sure can someone tell me?); Boeing 747, why?)6) Parts of a plane7) Interesting facts that sound cool. (I know that 50 gallons of paint on…

Hello captains,I have 2 questions regarding NATS.1. Concerning the NAT message quoted below, westbound track G. Track G starts at 38N040W. This lies in the middle of the ocean, there is no direct connection to it (check http://www.jetplan.com/tda/west.html , you can see it almost on the bottom-center of the picture). Suppose I'm taking off at Heathrow and I want to fly to the carribean using track G. How would I plan the EGLL-38N040W? Or to put it in another way, how can I get to 38N040W in a "correct" way?2. Sometimes you find an incomplete message when going to the DINS NOTAM system to fetch the current NATS. Today's westbound tracks are a good example:===302018 EGGXZOZ…

Just wondering if any simmers are going to see 'United 93'... I personally have no interest in this movie as 9/11 was a hard enough time to live through. I don't want to put myself through feeling what I felt that day and watching helplessly as so many perished. Unlike a movie about Pearl Harbor, this movie almost seems in bad taste (and I stress almost)... In the long run I feel this movie would help future generations remember and not forget this tragic event in US history. For those of us who lived through this sad day, it's not something compelling to keep revisiting. I can only imagine how people must have felt when Pearl Harbor got hit but 9/11 was far more sini…

Hey everyone :)I've known about the ITVV series for a while but only until recently actually bought some.. and these DVDs are incredible.I thought I'd post this incase others haven't heard of them: http://www.itvv.co.uk/Excellent for anyone interested in aviation really. I bought the BA GO 737-300 and Airtours A330-200 ones initally and now I've caught the bug. I've ordered the Matinair MD-11 and the 2 disc (5 hours long!) Concorde one, as well as the "Classic" 747-200 Virgin Atlantic.If only someone did similar ones for smaller (even GA) aircraft.. anyone know of any?

When I check the different topics and forums at Avsim, the top title never changes...."Avsim Online - Flight Simulation, Flightsim, flight sim, flight simulator". Whereas at 'Flightsim.com', the title displays the 'specific' topic or forum.Am I unaware of an option at 'Avsim' that does allow a specific title display?Thanks.Abe

What is involved with adding an FMC to an aircraft? It has a Bendix KAP 140 autopilot system now. Could it be married to that or is it a whole lot more complicated?billg

Every now and then I read news stories about unruly passengers who try to open up doors on a commercial airliner while in flight. My question is can they be opened or are there mechanical safeguards in place to prevent them from being opened while in flight or if the cabin is pressurized?
