Does anyone have this game? Not the one by Jane's... the other one. I keep getting booted to the desktop every time I try to fly. I have a feeling its a video card issue. I have a Geoforce 2. Does anyone know why this is happening?

Does anyone know where I can find some Detroit (D21) TRACON sector charts? Like the ones the controllers use in the real world? I have looked all over the place and just can't find anything! Can someone please help me out? Recent charts would be great... but basically anything will do because I haven't found a single thing.If you have any sort of idea of where I can find these charts... please e-mail me ASAP at: [email protected]!

A sad day for European aviation today...VG Airlines are now bankrupt and all it's 3 A330s are heading for Cyprus.More news can be found at Airliners.net

Hi All:On Thursday night, I was watching Discovery Channel on the building and sea trails of the USS Harry Truman. It was a very well made film of all that when into building this aircraft carrier. Towards the end, a helicopter arrived as with Navy tradition, and behold Captain Otterbein appeared landing on the carrier for the first aircraft to arrive on board ship. It was really quite interesting to see Captain Otterbein in film. I did not know that he was a movie star! For those who attended AVSIM Convention, Capt Otterbein was the guest speaker and spoke about air carrier operations. If you have the opportunity to see this great film, its very well done. I really enjoy…

I just read over at Simflight that Francois Dumas takes up a position as Managing Editor from 1st November. So I take it AVSIM will lose Francois??If so well all the best to you and your future endevaours :-)Keep in touch!Bill :-wave

Does anyone know where I can get some charts for CYYZ? I don't fly to Canada that often. AOPA and Clearance Unlimmited only have US airports. I found some approach plates. I would also like to get some weather phone numbers, DPs, STARS, and and airport diagram. Thanks,DAVE

I live in Clovis, in the Fresno, CA area, and I was wondering if anyone else around here lived here too. If any of you do, let me know and maybe we can get together sometime and hang out, have lunch or something. Sorry if its inappropriate to ask this but I just thought it would be neat to meet with a fellow simmer or two in my area.

I know there is a way to do this but I hate having to enter my password each time I log in. Isn't there a way to save your password? I admit I'm a bit ignorant to this stuff.....

FYI.... Cheers!

This is probably old news, but worth mentioning anyway. This 747 is being used as a testbed for the new 777-300 engine, which has produced 126,000 lb thrust, and will be rated for 115,000 lb. Imagine four of these engines on the venerable 747, total of over half a million lb of thrust. Imagine a thrill ride operator with one of these things: load up with 500 people, an hour's fuel, and take them up vertically while accelerating.Astounding! --BeachComer Stephen "Beach" Comer Real World Pile-it Commercial ASMEL, Instrument Airplane 4500 TT, 2500 BE20 & BE10 Serving Happy Landings Since 1973!

Crappy system requirements. Poor weapons effects. Hellish FPS (even with most graphics options turned down). Poor graphics overall. Poor Flight Models.........Nice clouds. Wish I could actually look at them....but I only have an XP2100 with 769mb of PC2700 DDR, obviously not enough for this game.Nice campaign though, I wish it made up for the rest of the game. I'm sorry to say IMO this game is just a BAD purchase. I SERIOUSLY hope that CFS3 isn't indicative of FS2004 or I'm sticking with FS2002. After countless hours of messing with this game and getting it to run in an optimal fashion all I can say is that optimal sure isn't pretty :( This is really upsetting, I had hig…

I was waiting for CFS3 to come out before deciding between it and IL-2. Based on all the screaming and gnashing of teeth over CFS3, I went the other way. Is there a forum here or somewhere where one can find out about basic things like patches (I know there have been some), hardware tweaks, etc.? Thanks.
