Hola All, Been a frequent forum lurker for ages and a light civilian flight simmer for as long as I remember. My first love has always been prop warbirds although I must confess I have become hopelessly unfaithful for the past 12 months or so - falling in love at first with the FBW 320 and more recently the PMDG DC-6! Home-base in sim and RL is VHHH while I roamed both EGBG and LFML as a young lad. Glad to have finally joined the AVSim community 😛 2Low2Slow

Hi guys, not there yet, as i need help, in setting up all required software. Back in 2003 when i joined, i was invited to join BLUE STAR airlines, where we had the companies unitary, and i was lucky to have a Steve Mason {hope hes still about} who worked at Glasgow Intl. he taught me the talk. and a friend of his working avsim London centre on night sent me a screen shot of A320 BX011 on radar. lol. well since the return of MSFS 2020, i now once again have confidence in there A320NX developers version to fly controlled to any given instruction's from ATC and so realistic are the flt dynamics, I, like all EZY jet pilots do all my landings manually now, LOL back in 2018 aft…

Hi guys, I have returned to simming MSFS after several years absent, encouraged back with the new release, however I am getting somewhat frustrated by an often unresponsive keyboard particularly with Shift Ctrl H, Z, R. I have read lots of threads on various sites mostly over a year old but no definitive solution, conflicts with other software such as NZXT etc. I watched a You Tube video and noticed that when activating the buttons the sub menu shows the keyboard commands, with me it shows the mouse commands only. My keyboard is recognised as other keys do work ok. Is this a software issue/conflict or am I simply doing something fundamentally wrong? Any help will be much …

Hi Folks, I'm new to the site but a long time flight sim user. I still have fond memories of taking off from Meigs Field in Flight Sim 1. Over the years my setup has become increasingly sophisticated (and expensive) and now fly RealSimGear G1000 panels to support my Instrument Rating training. Over the years I have flown about every version of Microsoft Flight Simulator, Jet, F-16 Fighting Falcon, Black Shark, Apache 64 (loved that game), F-18 Interceptor (on the Amiga), XPlane and countless hours in DCS. My hardware has spanned early Thrustmaster kit (remember the FLCS?), Warthog HOTAS, Saitek/ Logitech controls and panels, a Bell 206 collective, Honeycom…

Hi all, I'm Jujunet from France, I'm new on this forum. I'm a flight sim user since 15 years. I started with FSX, then I used to play with Xplane, and now the new Flight Simulator 2020. I'm rather attracted by airliners. My favourite are Airbus, but I went to see Boeing and Embraer. My other hobbys are astronomy, aquariums, nature, guitar, and all about computers and sciences. Best regards,

Hello I'm a new member but a 70years "old simmer" beggining with FS1 (in 1982 !) on a Tandy TRS-80. I followed Flight Simulator evolution (software and hardware) untill FSX in 2011. After some years without use due to professional reasons, I'm back to simulation under P3D (V4.5). I'm located in NICE (LFMN) France (sorry if my English is not absolutely correct...) For some months now, I maintain a web site devoted to Flying Simulation https://simu.alain-bettan.fr .To keep it up-to-date, I'm looking for a file (database, text file, csv file, excel spreadsheet or even a link to a web site). This "file" would contain a list of OACI codes and Transition altitude of m…

Its a shame that you have archived GEFS. I am a private VFR pilot. It got too expensive to continue in real time flying so I maintained my flight activity on GEFS. GEFS provided me with real world challenges such as, if you fly into a mountain you crash. the SR22 is a nice aircraft to fly. So is the F16. Over the years I have flown into and outlined 4300 airports all over the world on GEFS. Airports are set up with outlined runways, Airport info that you can see 70 miles away containing IATA rwhdg elev & rwlen. At 17,000 above each airport is an Visual Orientation Marker (VOM) containing IATA indicator identifying the airport. At many airports I have added Run…

Hi Guys, I need a little help, I have the Logitech G Pro Flight system, yoke, throttle and rudder peddles, also the Switch Panel and Multi Panel. I'm building up slowly to a full cockpit lol. The problem I have is that the yoke isn't getting enough power, I have a Chinese powered USB hub but it is not powerful enough. Can anyone recommend a good USB powered hub? When the Yoke is plugged in, the LED panel is dim and the start stop and reset buttons don't work, and the Yoke does not perform correctly. Many Thanks

Good to come back to the sim after so long and to be blown away from the start with absolutely no tweaking! If I could have seen this from 10 -15 years ago I would have wept for joy.

I see many on these forums with their system specs as part of their signature and I would like to add my own but I can't for the life of me figure out how to do it. If someone can steer me in the right direction I would be grateful. I've only been on here for years lol. 🙂

I don't have a choice of the IP addresses provided my service provider. I've tried your forum after a few modem resets and still get IP banned. It's startling to see BANNED after clicking through a search engine hit. I wiped cookies and even registered using a VPN. But once I return to the block of IPs given to me by cableone, I'm banned. Thank you.

Just thought I'd make a hello post! I'm 34, a Brit, been simming since FS98, not so seriously back in the day, but take it more seriously now. I'm currently saving to upgrade my RIG so I can get in on that FS2020 magic. I have an Hours flight time in real life, and hope to continue having lessons this summer. I have clocked 1 hour in a Robin DR200 from EGSR in the UK. I am hungry to get back into the sky for real! I have some questions about VATSIM, I'd like to start using real ATC from these great Virtual aviation lovers... Anyone give me a like, little run down of the training process for it? do you have to learn before you go in or is there a "server" for learner…
