Hi all, Wasn't really sure where to put this (so mods, please move it, if it's in the wrong forum-section). I'm hoping that someone with pilot or airport knowledge could answer my question here. 🙂 A couple of days ago, I returned home to Copenhagen after visiting Paris. I flew on easyJet (we flew on an A320-200) from CDG-CPH and it was around 20.15, when we arrived and parked on the gate/stand. It was dark (like night-dark) when we arrived and disembarked and I (given the airplane freak I am) noticed, that he didn't turnt he strobe-lights off. When we landed the pilot turned off the strobes (as he should) after vacating the runway (we landed RWY 22L). He …

Could this be a real world scenerio. Lets suppose we have charter company x. They're new and don't have that much business going on. They have leased a PC12. Now, suppose we have another charter company z. They have been around a while and are swamped. Could company x use their pc12 and their pilot to fly a flight for company z for a cut of the profits to help them out since they're swamped? Or would this never happen? Thanks. I'm trying to run a simulated charter company using OnAir career addon but I'm also trying to push it and use it creatively by changing the narrative.

Last night I watched part of a Bigfoot program. They have been searching for them for years but have yet to find anything but large footprints and very suspect footage of a Bigfoot loping through the bush. I have been giving this some thought and perhaps the Bigfeet are immortal since no bodies or skeletons of them have ever been found that confirm their existence. Noel

I would add the tombs of two Pharaohs with the same regnal names, and both of whom co-reigned with Ankhenaton. Ankenaton (King Tut's father) was the Pharaoh who declared there was actually only one God and that he did not dispense for a price, purchasable magic or incantations to allow one to cheat at the game of life. Your blessings were going to instead depend on your behavior. It was he who moved the capital of Egypt hundreds of miles away. Zahi Hawass former Minister of State for Antiquities of Egypt says Ankhenaton is the mummy in Tomb KV55. His two coregents were both had the same regnal name Neferneferuaten (Nefertiti, who was Ankenaton's wife) and (Smenkhare,…

Good evening, I just noticed that something is up with Edmonton International for P3D v4.5. I’ve deleted ORBX open land class North America and Northern Rocky Mountains. I still have vector installed. When I look at CYEG, part of the ground is locking up through the runway. I don’t know if I inadvertently deleted an elevation correction file or a CVX somewhere. When I deactivate CYEG in AEC it actually looks worse. Does anyone have any thoughts? Thank you in advance. Colin Gray

Hi all, Apologies for what may be a simple question - I'm in my late 50's and a returning simmer. I have googled and also been on Amazon about TrackIR and I get confused - a load of ads seem to be selling anything from £100 to £500. I'd really appreciate if someone can point me to the "definitive TrackIR" package. Thanks & apologies - not very technically up to speed
