January 4, 20179 yr Hi All, Now that my 24hrs is up, can finally introduce myself. I have been an FS pilot, on and off, for years from FS4 until FSX (which I currently use). I recently reinstalled FSX after watching FS videos on Youtube. The system I have is not the greatest for FSX, but it does the job for now, and I need to get myself a decent controller as well. I recently acquired the PMDG 737NGX, and am loving it so far. Plan on getting on VATSIM/IVAO as soon as I am comfortable with the 737. B Douglas Ulyate

January 9, 20179 yr Welcome & happy flying! I'm at the other end of the FSX spectrum as it were - freeware & no friends (only a couple of payware aircraft and cannot connect to multiplayer...yet!)

The best "lite" MD-11 money can buy (well, it's not freeware!)
January 10, 20179 yr Author Hi Mark, Thanks for the welcome! Only payware aircraft I have is the NGX, in my FS9 days my jet of choice was FeelThere's ERJ. The ERJ was extremely well modeled, at the time I worked for an airline that operated ERJs, and I even used the same checklists that we used onboard the real aircraft for my virtual flights, worked just as well. For online flying, I will go with IVAO/Vatsim, once I am confident enough with NGX. For offline flying I currently use ProATC/X, especially so that I can fly SIDs/STARs, and not just get vectored departures/approach like the default ATC does. Douglas Ulyate Douglas Ulyate
January 13, 20179 yr Welcome SirB. Hope to see you in the air someday (from a safe distance though). Kind regards,
January 13, 20179 yr Author Thanks for the welcome SF! Heh, talk about safe distances, was at cruise for Tutorial 2 of the PMDG NGX, and get a TA that turned out to be an AI Learjet, luckily no RA as it was climbing above me. ATC was off, so wouldn't have received a traffic alert from them either. Douglas Ulyate
