Have a look our our VA:http://www.vanisleva.com/index.phpFly what you want, where you want ,when you want with our own easy to use PIREP software.

You can use FSACRS to record flights and generate PIREPS.http://www.satavirtual.org/fsacars/downloads.htmlYou can use PlanG by TASoftware to map your flight and flight plan.http://www.tasoftware.co.uk/

Finally got a zero on the bum test!Vertical landing speed is zero feet per minute.Does anybody know if FS9 realistically measures Vertical Speed on landing and/or what VS is considered a

Check out Alacrity by KenSalter:http://alacritypc.kensalter.com/This freeware enables you to set up a profile for running Flight Sim while shutting down other non essential progams. It links to Black Viper and advises what to shutdown or keep running.

There is a feature in FSMetar where you can save a Metar file. I have used it when flying on dial up where I couldn't be continuously connected. I presumed I was thereby flying on the weather at that moment. If you save the metar and loaded that file when flying unconnected with the server, the weather would be historical wouldn't it?

Count me in....He's a wealth of knowledge and shares it endlessly!

Start with the first version, vasFMC 1.x. It is easy to learn. The second version is very complicated with lots of extra features you can tackle later.

Thanks Opa. I have installed the Microsoft Video Screen saver and will give it a try.I have to say that you are a "treasure" to flight simming. I have admired your contribution for years.Thanks from all of us who benefit from your presence.Good on you mate!

Does anyone know how to create a screensaver using the rotating aircraft image on the "Create a Flight" page in FS9?I think that we be a great screensaver! Any ideas?Kevin

Are you aware that ATC transmissions to you (only) are shown in the Kneeboard?

I would like to have a utility program that would convert vasFMC flight plan files to FS Navigator files and convert FS Navigator files to vasFMC files. See sites below:http://vas-project.org/http://www.fsnavigator.com/There is a program to covert vasFMC files to FS9 flight plan files and FS Navigator will export FS Navigator files to FS9 files.Thanks for seeking user input on this assignment.

I started the installation on FS9 and noticed that the installer warned that the scenery.cfg file would be modified. Is that the case with FS9? If so, is it restored by the uninstaller? I presume it's wise to backup the scenery.cfg file regardless. Any advise on this subject? Thanks.

Adam:Congratulations to you and the rest of the crew at CANUK on the release of your new CYYC(Calgary) scenery. I have installed and tested it and I really like it. Calgary is home base for me and I live just over the hill from the airport. I am very impressed by the the accuracy, detail and quality of both the Airport and surrounding landclass. It's in the same class as Grimshaw's KBOS. We have been in need of quality scenery like this for Calgary for some time. With this scenery we will give first time visitors (especially Maritimers) the favourable impression of Calgary it deserves. Thanks for the great work.Kevin

I am having difficulty figuring out the AutoThrottle on this panel.I am following instructions from the Manual for Richard Probst's 727 panel; see below:"Using the autothrottle is simple - just turn on the switch. It is somewhat intelligent and tries to figure out what mode you want when you turn it on. For takeoff, set you EPR bugs for takeoff thrust. This will usually be about 2.20 for D-17 engines at sea level. Also, set your airspeed cursor on the airspeed indicator for your initial climb speed, normally 250 knots. Turn the auto throttle switch on. The throttle levers will then move to apply takeoff thrust by 60 knots, then will hold position until you near your set speed. After that, speed will be maintained. Throttles will automatically retard at about 50 feet during landing, and the auto throttle switch will turn itself off at touchdown. That's all there is to it.When airspeed is acquired, the white manual flag on the airspeed indicator will disappear, and you can then be assured that the airspeed hold is on. Notice that there is no way to set a Mach value. You'll have to use airspeed. Economy climb is normally about 280 knots while a performance climb will be about 310. Above 25,000 feet you will stop using airspeed and start using mach. Assuming you are using the performance climb of 310 knots (we don't really care about fuel economy in FS, do we?), you should reach your cruise speed of M.82 by 33,000 feet. You may have to adjust the speed cursor up or down a little."On the 737 panel, it doesn't capture the airspeed and the white flag does not disapear. Does anyone have any advice or documentation on the Auto Throttle? ThanksKevin
