  4. Hello there everybody. About Me Glad to have found this place! Just registered so I thought I might as well throw out an introductory thread here. My name is Jan, I'm from Germany, 27 years old. I live in the city of Trier (right in-between Germany and Luxembourg) and have recently received my Bachelor's degree in Computer Science. Currently, the Master program is draining a lot of my time BUT when I do find some free hours I enjoy studying aviation. How I got interested in flying is sorta interesting and unconventional I guess. As a kid, my family and me did a lot of travelling. A *lot* of flying from Cologne/Bonn, Dusseldorf and Frankfurt in the early…

    So yesterday I was asking a question about N1, and yet this morning, I've just completed a circuit in a 737-200, and all went fantastically well! I can see this hobby is going to be very addictive. And I can also see how vital and helpful it is to have a community like this one, to help eachother. Looking forward to the next chapter(s)! One quick question on this one - in jets, does Vertical Sped control tend to be used in climbing and descending, or just in descending? Many thanks

    I guess that's the thread where newbies can cay hello to the world So hello! I am a polish person that got the passion for flying since the early age which was unavoidable as someone with aviation people in the close family. I work as a flight attendant in charter flights (mostly to Dubai, but all over the world) in B737 but occasionally flying in other beautiful machines. I am also in progress of obtaining my PPL which will take me quite a while, but I like to think about myself as a pilot in making. As for simmulators, I am very new to the scene. I just recently picked up FSX and X-Plane and some basic gear to enjoy and learn the art of flying in a stress-f…

    I have seen in a few forums where they have said you can use AIFPC to compile your AI flightplans and stuff. What are they talking about and where can I get it.

    Does anyone here know waht happened to Boris' page? I've tried to get to in on a number of times but all I get is a white screen. But it tells me his page is there.

  9. Hey guys, long time lurker here, I guess I'm not normally the chatty type but I want to change that and get into this hobby more. I am following a tutorial for an aircraft add-on and all is going sweet, except it is referring to a "N1" value but doesn't explain what that is. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I'm guessing it seems to be about engines, and how far the engine power should be set right? Thanks greatly for your time.

    Hi Guys, Been lurking and reading up a lot so thought it was time to sign up :smile: Im not new to the sim but i am new to making it better with addons. I've recently purchased a fairly decent spec gaming pc. (specs below) I did have the boxed version of FSX but decided to get the steam edition while it was on sale. Ive since bought a few addons, REX essential plus w/overdrive Orbx FTX global base Orbx FTX England Uk2000 Gatwick Ive also bought Ultimate traffic 2 and VFR London and they arrived today but not as yet installed. With the addons, it has certainly improved FSX a bit, but i'm still not getting the good graphics/textures that are advertised on the …

  11. Hi, as a new member my five days are up and now I can post :smile: I've recently downloaded windows 10 and I'm experiencing some issues with running FSX. Whenever I load FSX now where the plane preview window should be on free flight there's just a back screen and I when I load the flight the load screen comes up with the loading bar appearing but also with a now visible graphic of my chosen aircraft placed in the top left of the screen. The load bar disappears but the plane is still there I haven't been able to fly FSX since.. I've deleted the FSX.cfg and let a new one write itself upon loading FSX but the problem remains, are there any thoughts or solutions to this…

  12. Hi to everyone, Let me introduce myself, I’m a 58 year old male who as a former U.S. Army UH-1H/V Huey helicopter pilot, flew as pilot in command for the 1st Squadron 4th Cavalry D Troop Air and 82nd Medical Detachment both out of Ft. Riley, Kansas. Years ago I remember flying my first flight sim on my IBM Intel 8088 computer. (That was way back) Also enjoyed FS 2002 flying the 737, Lear 45 and of course helicopters. Have been out of the flight sim world for sometime and now it’s time to get back into flying. I know much has changed over the years and I’m looking forward to enjoying what the new technology can give in the flight simulator experience. Would I lik…

    Thank you - I`m Gunnar from Norway. About a week ago i bought the PMDG 747-400 to my new computer (alongside with the VSR Superbug). I had the 747-400 on my previous computer, but back then i basically operated the 747-400 as the default Cessna - now i decided to dig deeper, and today was the first time i was able to run a succesful start-up with the help of a checklist. Quite exciting to hear the surround-speakers roar as the engines is powering up I don`t know what might be the right order to learn by, but i decided to learn more about naigation - so i think i will submit some newbie questions here within the next week. In any case i am glad to recieve …

    Hello everybody! Let me shortly introduce myself.I am guy from Switzerland and a newbie in the avsim forum here but not in the world of flight simulator. The first version I got was Flight Simulator for Windows 95. For the last 6 months I was totally fascinated by DCS Warthog (a really excellent fighter simulation) but since a few weeks I am into FSX again. Of course there is a lot of work to setup all scenery stuff, aircrafts that are worth buying but since a few days I am really happy with my configuration (see my signature below). Last weekend I finally bought PMDG 737NGX and all I can say now is WOOOWW. It's just great to see such a high level of realism. It's just li…

  17. I'm posting here rather than Avsim.su because the registration process seems bugged for the forums there. This is my issue: I can't download from avsim.su. When I click download, it just reloads the page. I click download again and the same thing happens over and over again. Files on avsim.su can't be found elsewhere when I look, and they look like really good planes. I was wondering if anyone here knows what the problem is.

  18. Hi I am a new member to Avsim and look forward to reading all the valuable information in the forums. I have been having a number of problem with FSX which has caused my system to crash with fatal errors for a number of months. Today I found a video on you tube which I think has solved my problem and I would like to share with anyone who is having the same problems as I had. My problem was that I had to do a factory reset due to other problems and when I reloaded FSX certain keys on my keyboard caused a fatal error and took me out back to the desktop. I tried everything to fix the problem but nothing worked until I saw in the video that SP! had to be reloaded before rei…

  19. Hi, Does anyone happen to have downloaded copies or a link to FSXGenius' FSX Flight School Videos? I know he got into trouble with the law but his videos were great for newbies like myself as could also be seen by the incredibly high number of YouTube views he got. Any help in finding them would be greatly appreciated to help me get started with Flight Simming. And I also know about Froogle an the many other available YouTube videos, Aviator90 course, books, etc which I also appreciate. But right now just looking for FSXGenius' FSX Flight School Videos...nothing more. And of course they were not perfect but still trying to find them. Thanks for any guidance in fi…

  21. Greetings from the Caribbean to ALL. Thanks for the welcome. I have not been very active on Flight sims for a long time and recently jumped back in with the release of the Steam Edition of FSX. I also bought the PMDG 777 last week and have been learning the aircraft ever since. I will say, it was a bit overwhelming at first but with a lot of reading starting to understand a lot of the systems. I don't think I can ever fly a default plane again. Anyways, very nice community you guys have going here. Tons of useful info on here.

  23. Good Morning all, I have been a long time user of avsim's amazing file library and un-registered lurker of great library of knowledge in the avsim forums. The question that brought me to registering is quite simple, why isn't there a 'Un-official Eaglesoft Support Forum'? Just about every other dev house or provider is covered. I am well aware that Eaglesoft has their own official support forum and at one point in time I had access to it, but my account is pending approval and the email to their support address has been unanswered for weeks. I had honestly assumed the worse, that they had gone out of business. I was relieved to find that Ron and Ed frequently p…

    Hi Everyone. I've used the site for a couple of years in the background, been a simmer since SubLogic made Flight Simulator on the Commodore 64. I used to fly Gliders in the late '80's and have tried out pretty much every version of MSFS and others. I currently have XPlane 10.35, Prepar3d v2.5 and FSX 2004 and X I am starting to learn to fly for my PPL and use A2A's Cessna 172 for that, and use PMDG 737 and 777 for Prepar3d. I also have access to a full scale 737 simulator which I occasionally use. Looking for knowledge to improve my own experience and to be able to talk to others that are avid simmers too - I haven't used Teamspeak 3 in ages, but can use that, w…
