December 27, 200619 yr Hi guys! Just thought I'd do a little introduction, and say hi to everyone. Sorry if this is the wrong board to do so. Mods please move it if it is :), thanks) I was first introduced to flying, and planes in general by my grandpa. He is a very avid flyer, and worked as an ATC controller at O'Hare International for over 30 years. He recently retired. I first rode in a commercial AA Foker, and have been facinated ever since. I was allowed to go in the cockpit, and turn the logo lights on and off when I was 10 which amazed me. I googled flight simulators as soon as I got home, and came up with Flight Simulator 2004 (Yea, I'm 15). I bought it, but being only 10, found it too complicated. Now, 5 years later, I decided to give it a go again. I was unimpressed w/ FS2004, so I played the Free Flight sim, Flightgear. I had a blast w/ it for about 2 months, and finnally saved enough to get FSX. I'm a new player, and haven't even begun to explore around, or get familiar w/ the game, But I do love it. I am interested in joining a VA, and becoming an ATCC, so if anyone could refer me I would be very grateful. That's all for me. THanks for listening. :)P.S. - Again, sorry if this is in the wrong board. :)

December 30, 200619 yr Hello back to you. If you need any help setting up FSX feel free to ask, because it won't run too well if you don't set it up right.When I was 15 years old, Reagan was still president and I was flying SubLogic FS2. :) RhettAMD 3700+ (@2530 mhz), eVGA 7800GT 256 (Guru3D 93.71), ASUS A8N-E, PC Power 510 SLI, 2 GB Corsair XMS 2.5-3-3-8 (1T), WD 250 gig 7200 rpm SATA2, CoolerMaster Praetorian Rhett 7800X3D ♣ 96 GB G.Skill Flare ♣ Gigabyte 4090 ♣ Crucial P5 Plus 2TB
