  1. Lube the rails with Fluid Film available at auto parts stores or Walmart. Very simple solution. Works very well. This stuff is a miracle lube in a can. I use it on my guns and any hardware that needs protection from the weather or wear.
  2. Welcome to Coastal International. We are a new virtual airline/club formed from the amalgamation of two long standing Clubs. Virtual International Flying Club formed in 2008, and Canadian Coastal Airways which was formed in 2014. With this amalgamation we hope to continue the promise and challenge of VIFC, “ For the enjoyment of virtual flight and the building of friendships”. Coastal International will continue the tradition of our two parent organizations in that we will continue to offer free flight, group flights and tours to our pilots. Fly where you want, when you want with any aircraft in your personal hangar. As a new organization using the latest version of vaBase there may be a learning curve initially. We’ll work with new pilots to ensure that they feel comfortable and find this their home in the virtual sky. As we are using a new web page, updates and changes are forthcoming as we learn new systems. Please be patient. We cater to new virtual pilots as well as experienced pilots. Come join us. Ask questions from anyone in the club, not only the staff. We like to help you enjoy flying with us. We have several available flights weekly on different days and times to suit your time zone. Helicopters are a small part of us, but some of us think it to be very important to the overall experience. Come and see what we are all about! http://www.flycivirtual.com/
  3. VIRTUAL INTERNATIONAL FLYING CLUB http://www.flyvifc.net/vam/index.php?lang=en Virtual International Flying Club, (VIFC) has gone through a complete overhaul. It is the same club, with no restrictions on what you can fly, or how long, or you can fly by yourself, or with others online. It is a flying club. Not a virtual airline. We have moved from our old web address to the one listed above. We have a new system for recording our flights in place. We have pre-made tours available, and are always adding more. Many of us are into helicopters. Here is where you want to be if that is your pleasure. We cater to beginners! We are here to help you learn about online flying and support you in learning about aircraft. We have very few rules. VIFC will also offer to its members activities including Air Traffic Control, free flights solo or in group, cross country flights or charter flights on a solo basis, or on simple flight schedules. Our main office is located in Vancouver British Columbia Canada (CYVR) with hubs at Bolzano Italy (LIPB) and Fort Myers (KRSW) Florida USA. These locations were selected because they offer all types of flying activities with many aircraft models: bush flying, float planes, mountain flying, jet flying, etc. However, many of our pilots fly from their own virtual home station. Every pilot will be able to fly the way he enjoys flying. We also offer to our members the use of a dedicated Teamspeak server for communications. We use FSCloud as our multiplayer environment. We support the current flightsim platforms, including FSX, FSX-Steam Edition, Prepar3d, Xplane 9 and 10. You may bring your earned flight hours from your V.A. If you wish. We currently have 31 active members. Everyone here is very friendly and helpful. We have computer experts, hardware experts, Flight Sim expert, etc. All willing to help. If you want a relaxed atmosphere, with many new friends around the world, ( we support world time differences), then there is no better place to be. Come join us! P.S. Powered by Virtual Airlines Manager We do not use all the features this wonderful program provides as it is set up for virtual airlines. But, it affords us many ways to make this club more interesting.
  4. Those of us at Virtual International Flying Club wish to extend our best wishes to you . Some of us believe in miracles and will be praying for you and your family. Thank you for all you have done for the flight sim community. You will be missed. Vernon Christie VIFC
  5. Version three is out! Could not wait for the anouncement. I really like it!
  6. Welcome to: Virtual International Flying Club (VIFC) The Virtual International Flying Club is not a Virtual Airline. We are a virtual flying Club that offers to the flight simulation enthusiast of the age of 17 years old or older, the opportunity to enjoy Virtual Flight via automated tracking systems, rosters, and pilot reports, while making links with people from the whole world. Fly for fun and friendship is our goal. To achieve this mission, VIFC, offer you various flying activities and will promote multi-player sessions to establish and maintain contacts and friendship between the members. The Flying Club will also offer to its members all kinds of activities, including Air Traffic Control, Search and Rescue group missions, free flights solo or in groups, cross country flights, or charter flights on a solo basis, or on simple flight schedules, or no schedules at all. You may pop on the internet and see who is flying, and simply join in. Nobody will ever be told that this is a private flight. Everyone is ALWAYS welcome. We now have a new section called VASARA. This stands for Virtual Aviation Search and Rescue Association. It is equivalent to the CASARA association in real life. Here you can participate in emergency alerts and participate in Search and Rescue Missions. More details are available on our website and all files needed are also available. The virtual home base is located in Vancouver British Columbia, Canada with hubs at Bolzano, Italy and Fort Myers, Florida USA. Home base airports , and hubs , were selected because they offer all types of flying activities with many aircraft models: bush flying, float planes, mountain flying, jet flying, etc. However, you may fly out of your own base if you wish. Every pilot will be able to fly the way he enjoys flying. We also offer to our members the use of a dedicated Teamspeak server for communications and four multiplayers FSD servers for multiplayers sessions. You will be able to use our livery files, if you wish. You may participate in out ranking system. You can be a member even if you are participating in a Virtual Airline (VA). You can transfer your previous flying hours from VA’s, but you would need to provide accurate URL’s of that site for our review of all information necessary to verify your flight time. We are not a virtual airline. Everything you do here is in addition to, or instead of a virtual airline. We suggest that you have Teamspeak software on your system, to communicate with other members of the club. We are VATSIM approved. If you do not have a VATSIM ID, we suggest that you get one, but it is not mandatory to be a Vatsim member. You may fly any plan, flight, or time you want. Our ‘Flight Planning’ section of the website has many suggested flights. Our Activities section will suggest many different flying activities to our members. Among suggested activities, we offer Air Traffic control group sessions, weekly group flights, Search and Rescue group missions, cross countries and charter flights. Our flight board and our Vasara flight board will also offer you various flights. Or you may simply get online and fly nowhere or somewhere with or without a partner. Beginner or novice. There is a place here for you! http://www.flyvifc.o...0/welcome.shtml
  7. Are you using FSInn? It has a feature to turn on and off head movement too. (I think.)
  8. Both. Missing numbers on all default planes, and the compass on some non-default planes.
  9. And today, I noticed missing compass on some of my non-default planes. I have installed a Carenado plane lately, and it is fine. I have no idea as to where to start.

  11. Thanks for your input Ben. I think the GTX 660 NON ti might fit the bill and budget here. I now have an ATI X1300, so anything will be an improvement.
  12. I have just built a new computer using the Intel i5. Looking at the specs fot this videocard it would seem that it is the best bang for the buck. Is that so? Any help is appreciated.
  13. I just find that the pages are WAY to slow loading. So slow that I usually go to another site and not visiting Avsim at all. Used to be my first choice.
  14. Game Booster is not "a gimmick" to all people. It has been the only way that I have found to make FSX enjoyable and not a slide show. I have a moderate computer and it works very well for me.
  15. Study the control functions of a real helicopter a bit. Then go to Hovercontrol.com. Chances are, if you do not know how a helicopter works, you will not understand the computer control equivalent functions. Such as, in a helicopter you lift the collective to go up. In the computer, you will advance the throttle slider which is used as a collective. Not the throttle. Sounds confusing. But is is not really. Most folks jump into the Jetranger and try to fly it without any research. Then they get frustrated and quit. Do a little research, then fly NOTHING for 30 days or so. You will get the hang of it.
