Oh no Tom :( I'm so sorry to hear this. I will always have fond memories of hanging out and chatting with you at the AVSIM Socials and FANCON's. You are a class act Tom, and will be remembered! I am happy to hear that plans are in the works to continue this great community. Thoughts and prayers to you and your family in this difficult time. -matt

For real world flight, I am using an iPad2, and iPhone4 (backup) with Foreflight. I have pretty much stopped buying paper charts and AFD's at this point. -m@

I am looking forward to another great AVSIM Social... Now to get on to the trip planning.

All I know is that I never renewed my subscription, though the new owner keeps sending me a bill for subscription renewal. I have responded indicating that I did NOT renew, and will not be renewing. I received an acknowledgement from them of my intentions, though I continue to receive bills from them. Something is not right over there. At any rate, I am ignoring any emails and bills I receive from them now. Good luck to them.

Can't wait! That's 2 1/2 weeks before my 2 week Jamaica trip! Should be fun as always!

Wish all you want for these fancy birds... I will not rest until I am bouncing around in the highly anticipated PMDG Pogo-Stick!!! ;)

I too am having this problem. When I undock the FMC and move it to the 2nd screen, it goes black. This does not happen with other add-on aircraft I have installed. I am running the latest version of the NGX. This has been a problem for me since the release, and through all SP's. -m@

more like Milliseconds!

I've got other IP's to use hahaha!

I'm sure the NGX is ready to go, but the PMDG guys are having too much fun watch everybody freak out! It's been a great show!

....of control around here! sheesh! I lost count of how many times the "Most Users Online" record has been broken today! The AVSIM servers seem to be holding up pretty well, and the forum software hasn't crashed yet. We'll see how the PMDG servers hold up after release!

I don't really have a favorite, but I'll pick Sun Country just because I like the paint scheme!! -m@

XBox gamer dies from blood clot after marathon sessonhttp://www.foxnews.c...test=latestnews Could this be coming to flight simmers? The release of the long awaited PMDG 737NGX could result in an outbreak of DVT (Deep Vein Thrombosis) cases due to the simmer's inability to get up out of his virtual captains seat, caused by the acute NGX addiction! Upon release of the NGX, I'm not expecting to see daylight for weeks! ;) ;)

I currently hold an FAA 1st Class medical certificate, so I'm good to go!! Bring on the NGX! -m@

Well.. some of this has probably been mentioned, but here is my take: - Visually, it can be pretty close, but there is a bit of depth perception that is not quite there.- Flight Dynamics, with the right addon aircraft, can be very close.- The feel......not so much. The first thing I noticed during my first few lessons was that in the sim, you don't feel anything. You don't feel any feedback on the yoke, the wind, etc... This is especially noticeable when doing pattern work in heavy crosswinds. In the sim, you can see it a little, but you just don't get proper feedback. In real life, there is nothing like getting bounced around on short final in a 172 with a howling and swirling crosswind, then get a bit of sheer and having a feeling of dropping out of the sky, all while trying to stay lined up on the approach path, keeping the nose pointed down the runway. Then as you round out to a few feet above the runway, and fighting the wind gusts as you flare, trying not to catch a big gust and balloon up, and also trying to keep it from dropping too hard. Just my thoughts! -m@
