HI, From reading the posts I gather everyone is experienced in flight sim. I'm not. So are there  any members of AVSIM living on the Gold Coast in Australia who would be willing to assist me please? Not sure about contact procedure but can give it a try. Cheers

Chros,

I do not live there but if your question is a general one, I, or someone else, may be able to help you.

By the way, a BIG (see other topic) welcome to AVSIM and to all its wonders. I hope your tenure here is a happy one.

Tony

That resembles me. Send me a personal message on what kind of help you might need. If I think I can help I'll give you my mobile number for a chat.

Cheers.

Hi All, thanks for the replies. to answer the first two my situation is this; complete novice! Just been given an older Saitek used set of peals, yoke, and instrument panels. Can take off but when I get to cruising altitude the plane veers sharp right or left and becomes  Cessna 152.

To howevr my no is [removed by moderator]. I will be away for the next couple of days but happy to talk. Cheers

Phone number removed

Hi Chros, maybe remove your phone number so you don't get scammed by someone prowling forums for contacts etc. Folks will message you privately on here to help and you can share your contact details in private 🙂

In Aus this is working the other way too, where people on various forums like Gumtree are requesting help in an attempt to harvest people's personal details for cold calling and scams. Kind people have contacted them, the person says they no longer need help or caller leaves a message and name, then everyone who contacted and tried to help conveniently gets a call from Assad offering them a better deal on their electricity and / or telephone plan. 

If you are sincere, please don't take this personally and I hope you get some assistance, it's just that's it's happening a lot lately, and probably will get worse as the economic wheels slowly fall off.

good  point  about  the  phone  quickest  way  to  get  the phone  removed  is  to  report  the  post  and  mentioned  the  phone  than the  mod  will remove  the  phone  link.  I  just  did  so hopefully  it  will get  removed  soon

@chros, I have edited your post and removed your phone number. Not a good idea on a website. Send a private message with your phone number if you wish to communicate that way.

You get calls from Syria’s pres offering you telephone deals?? I mean, I guess their economy is in pretty bad shape right now.

If Bashar calls again, say hi from me, and ask him how much he can do an Aero L-39 for. If he’s really offering bargain deals, I could possibly stretch to afford a MiG-23. Let me know what he says.

(Also, check if there’s a discount for Flight Sim Association members. Ta!)

I asked Bashar if he'd include a free karabij-halab, but he then hung up on me

Thanks folks, how do I go about messaging privately on the forum? Ta!

Click on the person's name (e.g.Chros) and the screen will show a box "message".

Thanks everybody, back in town and reading some of the posts. Will fire up the beast and redo some of the settings. Cheers
