On 3rd February, after 66 years of operations, the Hungarian national airline has ceased flying. :(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mal%C3%A9v_Hungarian_Airlines

Wow... :blink:I just read what they owed at the time of shutdown...

Another one bites the dust.Not a suprise, others will follow with those taxes and prices these days.

ugh, here comes another AI modification, just when I finally got rid of Hapag-Lloyd this morning!!Can't keep up anymore!but in all seriousness, a sad day for the airline and all its employees...

Hapag also gone? since when?Not that it really matters, in my backdated world PanAm still flies with early 707´s.But I have a modern version also at hand.. :-)

Haha, you still have clippers making the pacific passes Johan? ;) All the Hapag airlines became Tuifly I believe, it is hard to keep up sometimes!!Cheers Johan,-P

Yes, very sad. I was hoping it would not happen. :sad:I had a lot of enjoyable RW flights with Malev on their Tupolevs and then boeings.

Hapag also gone?

I guess Paul may have meant the legacy Hapag-Lloyd livery in one of his packages?Years ago Hapag was merged into the TUIfly group and TUIfly is still operating (making the skies more yellow).

Yes, you can say I am lagging behind now, or.. euh back in time, when it was more fun. No more button pushing for me, but real flying.Anyhow, watch out for more, oil prices go up fast now, thanks Israel-US, we will see more closures this year I think.

You are correct Rafal, I did the Hapag for Tui swap this am!!!Wow Johan, I don't really want this to get political but that is a pretty simplistic view of things... Perhaps we should stick to Flightsim topics...

Your right, slip of the pen, euh.. keyboard. It will take a whole forum to talk about politic crap. I was just annoyed to see gas prices going thru the roof here, with THAT excuse. Back to propliners, since jets are for kids! Lol!!

Hey!!! Without me on the flight-deck of this 777 from EWR-TLV right now who would tell the computer where to go and taxi to and from the runway!!! ;) AND I just had to press two buttons to shut off the center fuel pumps! :)

ROFLMAO.. you just missed the roar of those radials! It will hunt you for the rest of your flight, perhaps life!I have been there and done that, its cool in the beginning, but boring after a couple of years, at least for me it is.Arent we hyjacking this thread now?Malev in better days, and the left woman is the mother of one of the developpers!

Another one bites the dust.Not a suprise, others will follow with those taxes and prices these days.

With the EU's new carbon tax on flights Malev is just the start of the Dominoes..........Europe is in very bad shape right now.Can you please post non-FS topics in the Hangar Discussion forum please. This is for discussion on FS2004 if I am not wrong (which I am rpone to be at times).ThanksDaniel

Hi Daniel.As the creator of this thread I will post it where I jolly well please.I fly FS2004, many simmers fly FS2004 and many simmers fly Malev in many different liveries and aircraft, not to mention AI discussed already above. My post IS relevant, topical and of interest to this bunch of enthusiasts.

This does belong in the Hanger Chat. If none of us follow the rules this could quickly become the "I play FS9 so I can post about anything" sub section.....
