I have been using FSX on Windows 7 and 10 since it was released in 2006(?). It was a great sim for what I used it for. Flying a Continental 757 out of KEWR. I had the game "tweaked" the way I wanted. Everything was great and enjoyable. However, I dumped Windows 7/10 and switched to using Linux Mint last month (and loving it!). I also downloaded/installed the latest STEAM for the Software manager. I currently have 2 systems running Linux Mint 22.3 and Steam for games. (My first time using Steam) Here are the system specs... System 1 (2013). Motherboard: ASUS M4A87T AM3 AMD 870 CPU: AMD AthlonII X3 Triple-Core 3.3GHz PSU: Enermax 500W Memory: …

Un saludo a todos los componentes de la comunidad avsim English Translation: Greetings to all members of the avsim community

Hi everyone, I’m a flight sim enthusiast from Italy and I’m excited to finally join this community. I’ve been flying virtually for a while now, mainly splitting my time between MSFS 2024 and X-Plane. I’m looking forward to learning from you all and sharing some "virtual" skies together. Happy flying! Cheers Massimo

Hi, Sorry for my approximate english, I'm Belgian and I speak french, and a little in english. Later, i was addict in simulator, I flewn on MS 2004, FSX, IL2 LockOn... Since 15 years, my occupation is to work for a non benefit association, a small museum related the story of an airbase in Belgium. Recently we have made a simulator for the visistors and specially for children. So My ols computer can only run FSX and FS2004. In relation with the story of our military airbase, I'd like to find the Alphasim Hawker Hunter, which was the airplane used on the base by the belgian airforce, and add the repaint of the 7th squadron that is existing and downl…

Hello everyone, Thank you for having me in this group — it’s a great pleasure to be here. My name is Rodolfo Pérez and I’m based in Spain. I work in the flight simulation industry with OpenCockpits, focusing on Airbus A320 and Boeing 737 simulators for flight training centers and academies. I’m looking forward to connecting, sharing ideas and learning from this great community.

Buenas noches a todos, me llamo Gonzalo y vivo en España. un saludo

Just joined because another Sim forum I'm a member of is lacking communication, and I enjoy helping people if I know how. I'm an inventor I know lots about computers and above average with networking. Currently rolling OPNSense for the router/firewall and running CalyxOS for my Android phone. I'm a privacy and right to repair advocate (Check out Louis Rossman on YouTube LOL). Interested in aviation and the technology that surrounds it. I pretty much learned how to fly a 737NG thanks to the computer, Internet and the PMDG 737NG with all its bells and whistles. Love to put my skills to the test one day in a real life full fledged Sim in Vegas. …

being here and happy I would like to experience AVBSIM again. I was a member ages ago and lost lots of flightsim software due to the corona crisis. Lived in Spain , moved to Italy, then to old Germany. However I am looking forward to seeing new experiences cheers Joki

First post here - hello from a virtual pilot interested in all ozzy and UK flying routes. Mainly fsx and some fs9 🙂

Hello everyone ! My name is Taylor, and I live in France. I discovered flight sim with FS 2020 (XBox version). For FS 2024, I bought a new PC and a dedicated hardware setup (Winwing FCU/EFIS/MCDU and VKB joystick and throttle). I mainly fly with airliners, especially Airbus (Fenix A320, Inbuilds A350, FBW A380) and Embraer (FSS E190). I'm also a military aircraft user (Miltech C17 Globemaster) and a beginner with business jets (Flight FX Hondajet et Citation X). I don't have VATSIM or IVAO yet, but I use BeyondATC to train my skills for some more realistic flights.

Hi All, Just popping in to check this out as a friend recommended it.

Hi everyone! I’m an aviation enthusiast, a simmer for many years, and I hold a PPL license. I’m starting to build my own A320 cockpit to have the most realistic simulated flying experience possible, and I’d like to share my work with you. Wish me good luck!😁

Hello everybody, I'm new to AVSIM but not to flight simming however, I've been out the game for a good while so I will definitely benefit from the knowledge in the forums! I run MSFS 2024 via either my Lenovo LOQ gaming laptop and my Xbox series X using the Thrustmaster Captain X edition flight controls so please bear with me if I ask questions regarding both platforms. I look forward to being involved in the community 🙂 Cheers Steve

I've been looking for a good guide for camera configs from basic... to maybe a little more advanced... having not changed anything yet... all camera configs have disapeard from the basic 172 program. Is there a way to re-set or re-configure? using a HOTA TM16000M Thanks in advance. Duffster

Hello from NYC. I'm in my young 60's and not particularly techy but I built a gaming pc 2019, downloaded X-Plane 11 (and Elite Dangerous) and more recently X-Plane 12. I fly the Airfoillabs Cessna 172 almost exclusively and treat the process as a technical progression much like taking real lessons (flying disciplined traffic patterns, route planning, map reading, etc..) .There is so much to learn aside from the particulars of ones chosen plane. The attraction for me is the technical challenge and I'm fascinated by how serious/sophisticated the flightsim community can be....VatSim as exhibit A. I'm not there yet - ATC is scary. My graduation present, when I feel like I've…

Maybe a good intro is a prompt I gave to ChatGPT this morning: "Will be two users: one is just starting flying lessons at a school using C172Ns. Other is husband of that student who's a lapsed ATP infected by the flying bug again, intending to re-enter with C172 VFR flying." ChatGPT gave me a seemingly thorough response, about 80 lines containing 10 various hardware and software sections with cost totaling US$ 4,800-5,600. I'm thinking it could be useful to post that response and get comments and suggestions from the experienced people on these forums. Good idea or not? And if good, which forum? Thanks!

A complete newbie here and looking forward to many hours of Flight Sim. I've been trying to locate the 172 w/G1000 if2025 MSFS It appears at least to me that it is not included in the premium version. Is this an "add" on ? Just curious as the 172 is my goto for flight and sim training. Cheers!

Hello to all avsim forum members! I've been fan for flight simming from years but no started seriusly till this year. Enjoying now MSFS2024 and A Pilot's life 2, BeyondATC.... Maybe on some time I'll be ready for VATSIM.... I have Winwing PFP3N and PAP3, waiting for EFIS and I'm slowly building my custon Overhead with mobiflight, hope can have it more or less working by the end of the year...

Bonjour, back to AVSIM after long time. Fan of A320 A380 FBW

Been a great fan of flight stim. So excited to join the community

Hello all, been a flight sim guy for ever...but never on a forum. Glad to meet you all!

Hey everyone! I’m Alejandro, and I just wanted to introduce myself and VueloSimple to this great community. I’ve been passionate about flight simulation for years, and that passion led me to start developing airports for Microsoft Flight Simulator. At VueloSimple, we focus on creating detailed and immersive airport sceneries, always aiming for a good balance between realism and performance. We’ve worked on airports in Argentina, India, and Pakistan, including Skardu International Airport, which was quite a challenge but a lot of fun to bring to life! I’m excited to be here, learn from others, and share our work with fellow sim enthusiasts. Looking forward t…

Hi fellow simmers, Been simming on and off since CFS2 and picked up the hobby with fs2020 earlier this year. Like many in this community, I'm fond not only of virtual flying, but also the more technical aspects including interfacing with the sim using hardware like streamdeck etc. I fly fs2020 almost exclusively but am pondering whether to purchase a copy of XP12 as well. Currently, I am using NeoFly to add some purpose to my simming adventures and I enjoy that a lot. I also like to fly in groups online but at the moment I am not part of such a group. Greetings, Scherm
