  2. Hi all. Sorry if this is a bit of a long read, but I thought I’d share my sim story. (Scroll below to *** to skip the long text and go straight to my point). I fell in love with flight simulation when I was about 8 and borrowed Flight Simulator for Windows 95 from my uncle, installed in on the family PC and took off from Meigs on the C172. Being a kid, I did not know FS98 and FS2000 existed and kept flying passionately with my old simulator. When broadband internet was finally available in my house I learned about FS2002 and all that I had been missing. I skipped FS2002 (there was simply no way to get it where I live in South America). I r…

  4. After searching across the internet for a full month I have not been able to find a Pakistan International Airlines livery for the Payware Captain Sim 707. In the free liveries column I only managed to find a broken link of the PIA 707 which was probably removed by the author. Could any livery making or aircraft repainting person be kind enough to submit his works here. The repaint kit of the Captain Sim 707 is free and you can download it at https://captainsim.com/products/x707/rk.html (65 MB). The liveries I am itching to have are as follows, https://www.google.com.pk/search?q=PIA+Boeing+707&rlz=1C1CHBD_enPK693PK693&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved…

    Hello, I've got a problem with my Tu-154B-2 yoke animation. I can turn left, turn right, go up, go down like on other planes but the yoke isn't moving, it's just in one position. Please help PS. I don't know how to submit this on FSX/FSX-SE. I'm new on AVSIM.

  12. Hello! I recently purchased the PMDG 737ngx base package. While downloading, an internal error message popped up, and the whole plane doesn't work. The image displayed is a bunch of dark lines that somewhat resemble a 737, but nothing in the cockpit works. If someone could help, that would be great. Email me at address removed. Thanks

  13. Hi all, I'm a new user so should introduce myself. I'm a PPL pilot and have an FSX sim running win7, decent graphics running over 3 screens with a fair amount of Saitek hardware. It works well and tbh, am happy with it. I'm here to hopefully gain some insights on the future of avsim and how I can possibly build a bigger/better sim for the future with better hardware and software. I'm new to the forum so please be kind. With all respect to those longstanding users on here, I've had many unpleasant experiences in the past on other sites from the "typical" armchair enthusiasts (think comic book guy from the Simpsons) who enjoy ridiculing and belittling people of less…

  17. Hello, my name is Matheus and I use FS since FS for Windows 95. I changed it to FS 98, then to FS2004 and FSX SE. I have been developing sceneries for 10 years and started to work with aircrafts. I use avsim for a long. I believe simulation can help many people throught world in order to train and develop skills for flying safety. I hope I can get my flight license within some years! Matheus

    Hi Simmers! I am new to this forum. I have been playing with FS2004 and FSX for a few years during my university studies (good ol' times :( ) then a very long period of inactivity followed... mainly due to the poor rate of innovation in this market. Now I have decided to invest some money and time in Prepar3D v4 and I hope to share some tips with you all and refresh my knowledge and skills :) Happy landings!

  22. Hi all, Somehow I was only able to create a topic in this section of the forum, so thats what I did. I am writing this on behalf of my grandpa who is an avid FSX user (and wants to try the steam edition). We have installed the steam edition and are now trying to install some of the PMDG airplaines that he has got (specific: 737ngx-800/900 & 777-200lr/f). However, we need to download specific installers for these airplaines as the hardcopy ones are outdated and wont work on the steam edition. When we login into the PDMG website we are unable to donwload them, because my grandpa owns these airplaines in hardcopy and not through the PDMG website,…

  24. Hello! I am a new member from the Archipelago of Madeira, in Portugal (Yes, the one that has the dangerous airport. I've been in it quite a few times. It's a 10-15 minute car ride from home through the VR1.). I joined this forum as I have a problem with ATC; however, I may use this account for other questions/problems that I might have in the future. I actually joined first when encountering XPlane 11, then bought XPlane 10 (It was cheaper, it wasn't a beta) from Steam. I have no add-ons, as I really only know how to use a Cessna 172SP. I'm not a pilot and have never controlled a plane, though. Greetings, NunoLava1998
