Does anyone know of a product where you can stream live, your full screen with audio through a server then over an IP for everyone that wants to logon and watch?In other words: If I'm flying in FS in full screen and I want others to be able to watch live while I'm flying.Thanks.

Aviation Week & Space Technology thinks so. Read this interesting tale of black ops and Groom Lake! As a supporting member for 7 years of the USAF SR-71 program, it heartens me to think that the dreams of Kelly Johnson have not died.bthttp://www.aviationnow.com/avnow/news/chan...ws/030606p1.xmlEdit: Had to edit out the text--we cannot quote copyrighted material verbatim in the forums without permission. However the link "links" to the same opening paragraph I have removed here. Interesting reading, btw... -JC.

Hey folks... just a few videos for ya.My buddy isnt that good with the camera, and he accidentally filmed onto the memory card, hence the low frame rates.

Hi;For the past few years I've been receiving one email every evening for the MS FS Discussion Forum, the MAAM-Sim support Forum, and a few weeks ago - the home cockit forum. It's the highlight of my day. They stopped on the 17 February. A couple of days later - I re-confirmed/reset the subscription part of my account. Still no emails. I've posted in the Help forum, and there are now another nine or ten subscribers also not getting their emails. As with those others - I've changed nothing on the firewall/pc. I run the Avast suite, plus MS Anti-Spyware. It's not unique for a listserve or an email server or application to have issues, but our emails for help are going unans…

First off, I'm a freeware addon person myself. I used to buy addons back in the 90's versions like FS95 and 98 and whatever was before that... That was when I was still in school and wanted something to spend my little money on. Since those days though I never have bought an addon for Microsoft's stuff. I just look on a few sites like avsim for some really cool free addons when I have absolutely nothng to do. Just to see what enthusiasts are doing these days. I hardly have time to flightsim anymore but this issue I am about to raise should be addressed and discussed. Although it probably already has been addressed. I am not a mainstream flightsimmer anymore. My "spending …

Greetings, all.As I sit here in a college class without access to my manuals at home, I am boggled that searches all over the internet turn up nothing on the Jet Fuel conversion of Pound/Gallon. I know that Jet Fuel has a certain weight per gallon.Can someone here answer what that figure is? I know Avgas and Jet fuel are different. I am particularly looking for Jet Fuel here for airliner use.Here is the issue I have that created the problem question:Flying a 757 for 1 hour burns 7,000 pounds of fuel (for the engine config I am using) -- so how many gallons of fuel do I order?

This is an option for the Firefly shuttles, which allows you to name each shuttle in a manner similar to the Firefly naming. Nothing has changed other than being able to name the shuttles. This is an option and you do not need this if you do not want to name your shuttles. Later,Jon

Just as a reminder .....The term is spelt GAUGE, not GUAGE.Triggered by two new addon's in the library, that consequently use the wrong spelling, I decided to post this reminder again...Why do I bother, someone might ask; after all, what's in a name ??Because if you use the word "guage" in a panel.cfg definition, FS2004 doesn't understand you :-)And I have dozens of EMails from people asking for help with my addon gauges to prove that misspelling "gauge" is propably THE most common mistake in editing panels.And the funny thing is: I only see this mistake being made by people that have English as their native language :-)Cheers, Rob Barendregt (Dutch !)

Well, after 20 years of simming and dreaming to be able to do the real thing, I am finally back in the cockpit! I took a few lessons about 8 years ago, but it kind of fizzled out quickly as I couldn't really afford it.I started groundschool about a month ago, and started flying again last weekend. Today, I finally got to do what I had been dreaming about for a zillion years- my first "real", hands on landing! Two words- OOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHH YYYYYEEEEEEEAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!I can't even describe how satisfied I feel right now. Flying is such a rush- It is information overload, fear, excitement, nervousness, and adrenaline all rolled into one sweet ride.Today's flight…

During a number debates on Avsim, it is clear that some of us, me included, think we're pretty good real pilots. However, there's always somebody better. Somebody with more precision, more courage, more raw skill all wrapped up in a effortless package who just obliterates any pretentions we may have about our own abilities. Everybody this is, except for this man:http://youtube.com/watch?v=vQpVI_aldB0&search=aircraft:D

Hello JohnHows it going mate...sorry to bother you but some time ago you mentioned how to fiddle with the aircraft.cfg to get wingviews on airplanes that did not have them (like the 50North).Could you tell me how to do that again please? I did a search a forum-search but could not find the original thread where you explained it. I know...I should have bookmarked it http://www.nextgenerationrecords.co.uk/boa...con_redface.gifHope you don't mind, thanks!! :)

I'm doing searches for the lowest airfares for my family for Spring break and thought fellow simmers might have some tips on where to get the best fares? The closest airport to us is KDEN so we're going to check Frontier partly because our kiddos see the animals on the tails of the jets all the time.My wife and I are both teachers and with two children we tend to look for the best prices we can find (even if the jets don't have animals on their tails).Any ideas?

I have a question for the experts out there on flight plans for smaller GA aircraft (singles and light twins). For awhile, I have been generating plans with FSNav in fs2004, and those plans usually follow low level airways and interserctions. I have been looking at a lot of real flights online from http://flightaware.com/live/ and I notice that many flights follow a more direct route. Sometimes they follow airways, but usually not. Is there any method to flight planning for these routes? Or do they just pick points along a straight line along the route? I was wondering if this was a more manual process, or if they generate plans from somwehere? Thanks!
