    Thanks for the great forum.

  2. Hello to all fellow flight sim enthusiasts, Im new to this forum. Also am considered a rookie when it comes to flight sims. Only starting out. I am using a relatively basic machine to run FSX but it runs ok. I could give the exact specs if anyone would be generous enough to advise me on what settings to run the game on. Thanks to all, Safe flying

    Hello, I recently have a problem with the PMDG 777 if I try to plan my flight in the FMC I can't put in any ICAO codes, it always says "not in database". When I load the scenery with the 777 though a message always comes up, which says "Cannot open AIRAC navaid database file". Does this maybe have to do something with the issue? Does anyone of you know what to do? Thank you in advance:)

  16. Hello All, I am just getting back into flight simming, so I dug out my old boxed FSX/acceleration and reinstalled. Love the content on AVSIM so far! Here's my question. How should I get my sim up to date? 1. Stick with FSX and get 3rd party add ons to make it look fresher 2. Get FSX steam edition 3. Move to x-plane version 11 4. Move to Prepar3d version 3 5. Wait for Prepar3d version 4 or dovetail's new sim? I appreciate realism in flight models, visuals, and systems. Thanks!

    Hi! I'm currently taking up virtual flying in a flight sim, and want to be realistic as I can whilst also being very strapped for time during my day! I've tried to come up with a set procedure for my flights as shown below, but this is only based off of googling, observing FR24, and asking some people a few questions. Please keep in mind that I know that these might not be hard set procedures that happen every time, but I am going to be flying many different aircraft (737-A380) as many different airlines in this sim - and my question is that, would my procedures below be realistic? Maybe not super accurate for each individual airline and aircraft, but if it happend would …
