Hello everybody. I am new here but not new to Flight Simulator. I can say my best hobby so far. I came from MSFS2004, FS9, FSX Acceleration, FSX Steam and now PMDG 737. I enjoy the PMDG very much because I can do more than just making the flight plan, taxi, line up and take off and land. More in the sense that I can use the FMC that I can not do in FSX (I think), I can do a cold and dark startup, etc. But why I can't download liveries using the PMDG Operations Center, Download Liveries. Sorry if I asked that question here.

Hi everyone, I have a question regarding the following statement on product features(747) ''Flight Model - Engine and flight modeling is within 5% of the actual Boeing aircraft performance charts, including data and parameters specific to the Pratt & Whitney, General Electric and Rolls Royce engine types.'' Could anyone explain me what exactly they mean with ''within 5 % of the actual Boeing...'' ?

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? automatic clay pigeon thrower 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

Long time lurker, I've been simming since the early 90's. Never got around to really getting to active in forums but since I have some time on my hands I figured I would say hello. I don't use too much freeware but I like my repaints for the payware. I look forward to being active in this vibrant community finally.

Hello to all, PrecipitFX installation with FVX Central has been done regularly on Prepar3D v3.4 and v4 with activation code but the PrecipitX effects only work on Prepar3D v3.4 while on Prepar3D v4 remain effects by default. I uninstalled and reinstalled PrecipitFX only on Prepar3d v4 but the effects remain the default ones. Ciao to all Roberto

Hi, Does any know how to replay a recorded flight in P3D without loading a default plane? PMDG recommends not to load a default plane before starting a flight. However, P3D does not seem to have this feature to do the replay only. Thanks, --Joseph

Daily use of products that contain a high amount of fragrance, whether the fragrant ingredients are synthetic or natural, causes chronic irritation that can damage healthy collagen production, lead to or worsen dryness, and impair your skin’s ability to heal. Fragrance-free is the best way to go for all skin types. If fragrance in your skin-care products is important to you, it should be a very low amount to minimize the risk to your skin (Sources: Inflammation Research, December 2008, pages 558–563; Skin Pharmacology and Physiology, June 2008, pages 124–135, and November-December 2000, pages 358–371; Journal of Investigative Dermatology, April 2008, pages 15–19; Journal …

Hi everyone, I'm just starting to get back into flight sim after about 10+ years of not flying on my computer. I think the last sim I bought was the FSX whenever it came out, and I stopped after about 6 months with that. Started a business, had kids, etc. Anyway, in that time I also picked up my private pilot's license and flew for about 5 years and then the kids arrived and that stopped. I'm not at the point of getting back into real-world flying and want to go on and get my instrument ticket and I'm wondering if there are any real-world pilots in here who could suggest one particular sim over another. I found that when I went to get my actual license, th…

Hi everyone, I'm a new member from Michigan, USA looking to get back into flight sims. I still have an old saitek joystick and throttle I used several years ago for flight simulator x. For the past 5/6 years, I've only being doing racing simulation (mostly iracing). I had water in my basement requiring that I dismantle my racing setup. I'm getting ready to rebuild a simulation rig using 8020 aluminium profile. I figure while doing this build, I should make it dual purpose for racing sim and flight sim. I currently use a triple monitor setup for racing plus 2 more monitors (one for telemetry and the other for streaming) and a usb monitor for the dashboard. My plan is to …

Hi All, My name is Jon Budworth and I work as a pilot flying a Jetstream 41. I have always used FSX to practice new procedures and instrument work. I am currently flying the excellent Jetstream 41 sim from PMDG, it's very realistic! However, I've come across what appears to be a glitch and wondered if anyone could help. When flying to Stornoway from East to West the DME drops out when approx 15 miles from the airport. Has anyone had this problem and if so is there a fix? Yours in hope, Jon.

Excuse me elder forum members. Let me introduce myself. I'm Althof from Indonesia. I have been flying with FSX since 2010, I'm doing it just for fun, nothing serious. I usually fly regional medium to short haul routes also international long haul routes. My favorite route is LHR-CGK and SVO-LHR or SVO-CGK. Maybe anyone in this forum can recommend any epic long haul or even ultra long haul routes? I come to this forum to enrich my knowledge and expand my hobby. If I made some mistake, please pardon myself and guide me to the right way. Thanks. oh and, how to change my profile picture?

Greetings AVSIM: I am new to the forum. I am relatively new to being a flight simmer online in the "virtual" world. I am not new at all to aviation, in fact I am getting to be an old dog. I am a Captain Instructor Pilot and FAA Examiner for a major aircraft manufacturer currently. I hold type ratings on the B747-400, B747-8, B787, B757, B767, A320, and SD3. I have over 26,000 hours split between flying and teaching/checking in Level C/D simulators. I use FSX-SE and, not surprisingly, I am drawn to the airline type simulators. I have the PMDG 777 and the iFly 747-400. Looking forward to getting the PMDG 747-400 now that it is out and the -8 when that releases. …

Hi all! My name is Connor from the United States. I've owned MSFS for many years but just recently really started getting into flight simming as a legitimate hobby. I am not a real-world pilot and most likely never will be. I am a high school band director and private music instructor as my main trade. I've always been fascinated by both trains and airplanes. When I was a kid I built model railroads with my grandpa. Eventually I want to have the space to build my own layout, but until then flight simming is a venture that will actually fit in my apartment, haha. My main focus is simming realistic passenger airline operations. I recently bought the PMDG 737…

Hello all, been lurking for a couple days now and decided to register. I have played Flight Sims off an on for most since the 386 days but took a long time off and only recently picked it back up. Working off a copy of FSX:SE with a few of the DLCs but nothing crazy. I had purchased it a year ago for my Father-in-Law since he has a Real Cessna 150 and we got it for him for when he couldn't go out flying that day due to reasons. Recently installed it on my system at home because my 2year old loves to crawl into my lap while I'm playing other video games and the wife doesn't like it when I play violent FPS games with my daughter in my lap She is showing a real liki…
