I would like to recognize and commend the people who make up the staff, membership, and visitors of the AVSIM community for their civility, humanity, and direct appreciation of our fellow man in the manner in which the recent elections have been, essentially, ignored here. And that is as it should be.On some if not most forums for other applications this past election has been a bitter and sometimes verbally violent affair with all manner of blistering, seething attacks on personal integrity and, if it were possible, personal being you can be sure.The simming community, especially the AVSIM fellowship, have stuck to their purpose, respected the privacy and integrity of ot…

The BBC reported today the following:"United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan says the war against international terrorism can be legitimate only if approved by the Security Council. Mr Annan told the BBC that "when one is trying to deal with a broader threat to international peace and security, there is no alternative but to go through the [uN] Council". The article went on to say:"The UN Secretary General acknowledged that the UN Charter gave individual countries the right to self-defence. "But, to contain the terrorists, I submit that you need that essential international co-operation to make it effective," Mr Annan said in the BBC interview."With REASONED and MATU…

How much would it cost one of us to go to UAL's full motion sims for an hour?Thanks,Eric T737NG FD Builder

I read in one of the forums about a program called fd nav or similar which is a good way to fly IFR and ILS........can someone tell me what the correct name is and where do I go to get it?? Also any suggestions pro or con would be greatly appreciated Thanks [email protected]

I'm sure this will be a masterpiece. Of course it will have it's rabid supporters but I don't think it will have mass appeal. Everyone wants to see the Concord fly over but it's real life flight plans are very limited. What should they build? T

Does anyone know the V-Speeds for the ATR-42 series?I've seached the web (even ATR Aviation's Web Site), and cannot come up with them.Stall speed with and without flaps, V1, Vr & Vs especially appreciated.Thanks.Keith.Vrystaathttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/96278.jpg

"A plane owned by the Hendrick Motorsports organization crashed Sunday on its way to a NASCAR race, killing all 10 people aboard, federal officials said."Among those on the plane were ex-driver Ricky Hendrick and John Hendrick, the president and brother of owner Rick Hendrick. Here's what they know so far..."The Beech 200 took off from Concord, N.C., and crashed in the Bull Mountain area about seven miles west of the Martinsville airport about 12:30 p.m., said Arlene Murray, spokeswoman for the Federal Aviation Administration. The weather in the area was overcast at the time of the crash, according to Jan Jackson of the National Weather Service in Blacksburg.NTSB spokesma…

Hi there evry1 - i'm a student at loughborough university currently doing a group project in which we have to design a wing in ground effect craft. (ground effect is a phenomenon whereby a wing flying very close to the ground produces less drag and more lift, just for those of you not familiar with the term!! for an example just search for "the wig page" on google and check out some pics). It is common for these types of craft to take off and land on water, and hence the 'fuselage' must act as a hull.Since the craft produces less drag and more lift, the thrust required at cruise can be as low as 30% of an equivalent aircraft flying out of ground effect. This low thrus…

Test drove a '05 Mustang today... What a great car! Had about an hour with it... did a couple of doughnuts, some 180's, and some high-speed runs. Fun times :-D I definitely will be thinking about buying a GT Mustang.http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/96038.jpg

Well AVSIM, now you've gone and done it! I fear you may have opened a can of worms by becoming a clearing house for piracy reports. I can just imagine the cracker wars as one side rats on the other.I commend the AVSIM staff on a noble effort. Piracy does indeed hurt the community, but it's not just the flightsimers. Piracy is a problem for the entire software industry, and its a massive quagmire that I wish AVSIM would stay away from.AVSIM has had the reputation of being so neutral and unbiased. I mean, you don't affiliate yourself with a certain political philosophy, so why go and toss your hat in with the Piracy Police? Obviously I agree with you in principal, but I fee…
