November 17, 201114 yr Spent last night going through ALL my AI and changing all my CO planes to United textures and United Callsign...Very sad after being CO elite for 12+ years to finally see the name gone but if it is United in the RW I prefer it to be United in the sim... Weird to taxi around KEWR and see and hear UNITED instead of CO but was a long time in the coming...Oh the times they are always changing.... Have a Wonderful Day -Paul Solk

November 17, 201114 yr Author LMAO!! I knew that is what people would think ;)Nope, until FSX has a decent Newark with a Decent 777 I am still an FS9 guy :) 99.999% of my flights are 777 in/out of KEWR so until FSX can be on par with FS9 in those respects I am still a niner!

November 17, 201114 yr In the model railroad world, we have a saying, "It's your railroad."That said, I deliberately added Midway Airlines and Hooters Air to my fleet. I've held on to Northwest and Continental as well.Us train guys have a name for those great railroad lines which have been absorbed by today's megatrain corporations - Fallen Flags. Long may they wave.

November 17, 201114 yr Crank up LVL-D with total center hydraulic failure RafalCaptain Wrona (the LO016 guy) comes from my town so one local hero too many...
November 18, 201114 yr LOT016 in plans? :-) no, don't have time. I've flow it in real life though. Obviously as a passenger in peasant class.Only one that I know of is the one I have used for years from IS...Crank up LVL-D with total center hydraulic failure Rafal ;)What's IS mate?

I thought half the fun of FS was new and exciting places with new and exciting toys :) Louise London, UK
November 18, 201114 yr Author Sorry about that Gavin! Rafal to the rescue again ;)Hey Leo, I don't take it the wrong way at all, FS is many different things to different people. For me I travel a lot in real life and all of my flights originate or terminate at KEWR. I use FS to replicate/simulate my RW flights which inevitably means a lot of time at Newark... For years now I have not done a real world flight unless I have done it on the sim first. It has turned into a silly superstition now and there have been times I have stayed up all night to finish a flight before heading to the airport LOL...yes, I have issues but FS is just one of them ;) Have a Wonderful Day -Paul Solk
