Wow!! I want one :( And that panel is just gorgeous :( Do you know approximately how much one of these babies runs? :(

Looks like beautiful country! :( I love the trick or treat etched in the field :(

I love the shuttle. The white tanks were something too, they seemed to match the shuttle much better. They weren't so dandy for NASA though...

How sad :( Stupid Daley :-mad

The new upstart, which operates a fleet of Boeing 737 jets on select routes throughout the Western U.S. from it's Los Angeles hub, began service on 1 May of this year.http://www.flywestexpress.com/postings/b739_app.jpgCEO Scott Sherman seems very upbeat about the airline's progress to date and it's future. "We've been meeting or exceeding several key operational and marginal goals since May, providing us with a strong foundation to continue growth," he noted. "Our initial routes have proven to be very popular with our customers, and our frequent flier base has been steadly growing at a rate of about one new member per day since launch." ExpressMiles, the airline's unique frequent flier rewards program, was said to be one of West Express' key success gauges before launch.At the conference, the airline's vice president of operations, Carlos Perea, discussed short term expansion plans and goals for the remainder of 2007. "Our launch destinations have been very successful, with near 90% loads on the great majority of routes. We have been researching several new destinations from our hub at LAX, and plan to launch several new routes within the next month, such as Chicago and New York among others." He went on to explain, "Breaking into major business centers early will help us build brand recognition and further grow our frequent flier base."Perea also announced that West Express has sent out a request for proposals to the major aircraft manufacturers for 70 to 100 seat jets. He noted that the current favorites were the Brazilian Embraer 175 and the Bombardier CRJ-705 NextGen, but did not suggest when a decision would be made. Questions regarding service plans for these aircraft were refused."We are fortunate to have such a professional and successful airline. Great growth plans, great product," remarked Executive Vice President Steven Kimball. "We are in this for the long term."ABOUT WEST EXPRESSWest Express Airways, founded in 2003 and relaunched in May 2007, currently provides high-level service to several popular destinations from Los Angeles, CA.

I'm running Vista (probably one of the only ones here) on a dual-boot with XP, too. Vista so far for me has been stable, no crashes, not eating up a whole lot of system resources, so I'm happy. I haven't booted to XP for a couple weeks now... People just need to give it time, the OS isn't very old, and we've come to expect problems from new products...Now many times I'll harp on how much I love OSX (still have my ancient 12" Powerbook), but I like to use my computer for gaming, and let's face it, Macs aren't the greatest for gaming (even with Bootcamp running Windows).But back on topic, pirates are definitely a huge problem... Go and do a search at any torrent site or P2P program and see how many results you get. There are 1,000s of people pirating Vista...But I will also admit that some of the things MS does drives customers away....My $0.02

This belongs in the tech forum... ;)But have you tried blowing the fan on the card off with some compressed air (or your mouth)? :)

Do you have a Saitek X52?I have had similar problems... Make sure that the rotary switches (particularly the one with the E button in the middle) are centered.:)

Hi guys, I have been trying to work out how to get some of my FS9 favorites into FSX. I tried a search, but came up with way too many posts to sort through within a reasonable amount of time, so I figured I would just ask.Many thanks in advance! :D

Congrats on the new job, Todd!! :DNice photos, though it looks like you took them with a camera phone :( :)

Aha! Good thinking, maybe you should've thought about that a little bit earlier...

Maybe I should make some personal attack on you...

Come to the screenie side of the forum!http://forums.avsim.net/dcboard.php?az=show_topics&forum=147

Any of you guys have the IE7 Beta?If you do, go to your main FS directory and delete/move OLEACC.DLL and your CTD's should go away... Hope that helps :D

:-lol Maybe about a thousand gerbils would do :-lol

Wish I would've went to one of those FS conventions so I could've played it, ah well, I can wait :-hahNice find, BTW, never would've thought to uncheck the "English Only" results... duh! :(

That was a great video! Thanks for sharing :-jumpy

Oh now you're going to get me all excited... :-lol

It's working for me at the moment, but I have had some on/off issues with their site for months...
