I would personally love if they continue the C90 > B200 up to a 1900C. Been jonesing for one since PMDG's excellent FS9 model.

I believe so.

Depends. If the altitude has a bar under it (underlined), you must be at or above that altitude when crossing the waypoint. If it has a bar over it, you must be at or below that altitude when crossing the waypoint. If the altitude has a bar both above and below it, you must cross the waypoint at that altitude exactly. SILOW has 15000 listed next to it, so you must be at or above 15000 feet at SILOW.

Interestingly, look at the Nacelles of the engines. That's a 737-200... not a -800. _O.K._

Nope, an -800. The nacelles got crunched a little in the crash. Further proof of NG-ness is the deployed reverser sleeves.

Ah, I can't believe I almost forgot about ATA! They became my favorite airline over the course of four flights.

HELL YEAH!!!

How's about this one?

That fixed it! Thank you!

Hi,I recently downloaded a repaint off of the file library for the Nemeth EC-135. When I went to load it in FSX, I got this:Light bloom is turned on, but it's not a problem for any of my other repaints. Even other repaints for the EC-135. I've tried deleting the files in the texture folder named "*_spec.dds" and copying a texture.cfg file from a repaint that works, but I can't get the problem to go away. Can anyone shed some light on this?

If made, will buy. Please please please? :(

Nice one Davey Jones! ;)

I aim to please :(

I am curious what will happen to all those 717's...

So am I. Southwest uses 737s exclusively to lower costs, so will they discard the 717s immediately, keep them around until they can be phased out with new 737s, or keep them and take an op cost increase?

Combine the Arrow and the Seneca and release the Kraken Seminole.

You can have Narita. I want a really good Kansai! So far there's only a freeware uses-default-objects scenery for RJBB on flightsim.

I'd like ATA to be included. As the company went under two years ago, it's likely to be skipped, but the livery was beautiful (and their 738s were the only NGs I ever flew in).

Of all these I find FS9 definitely best with the right balance of offered options, existing addons and in-sim performance. In my personal reception (I deeply respect every different opion) FSX was a huge miss of expectations.Not that it is bad! It's just something very different from what I expected. But I am, and will always be, far from calling any FSX user a moron, or just suggesting he or she is wrong in his decision.

And for the similar reason of personal expectations, I find FSX to be better than FS9. My computer is able to run FSX well at very high settings (think 80% MyTraffic, road traffic, texture resolution better than 1m, shadowing, light bloom, etc) which all together combine to make it more immersive for me than FS9, even if there's a dearth of add-ons. Truth be told, if the little differences didn't add up to something I liked better than FS9, I'd have uninstalled FSX already.Not that I mind that others don't feel the same. You like what you like, I'm not simming on your computer, and what sim you have doesn't affect my simming at all. So let's enjoy the community and whatever the developers throw at us.tl;dr: Go forth and sim some more.

... :( Aren't there regulations stating airliners must have two qualified pilots? How would this even be legally allowed?

KSAN!! :( :(

Something I like to do is fly from Anchorage, Alaska to Dutch Harbor (scenery of the latter by Aerosoft) in the Aerosoft Catalina or Twotter without the aid of GPS and with real weather. Can get a bit nerve-wracking when your instruments tell you you're there but because of the clouds you can't see squat!

Looking at the wreckage, there easily could have been more fatalities.My thoughts to the family of the victim.

From AlphaSim's Homepage:

These products are indeed the original AlphaSim products, re-branded and wrapped with a self-installer...Changing the publisher name on these AlphaSim products to the Virtavia brand was not an attempt to fool anyone, as has been suggested, it is merely the logical thing to do given that the new name will eventually replace the old, so it was a case of 'starting as we mean to go on'. The prices of the Virtavia-branded packages will not differ appreciably from the prices on the AlphaSim site. We emphasise that these are not new versions and there is no need for owners of the corresponding AlphaSim products to be concerned. Please accept our apologies if there was any confusion over this.

Well said! Though I would like to add one thing...I believe many complain because we tend to focus on the negative, and this can be seen in non-flightsim aspects of society. Are the news likely to focus on a successful local business that just broke into the international market, creating new job opportunities in the community, or on a scandal at the local mall involving a rude employee slandering a patron?If something is great on an addon, I say "Great!" and enjoy it, but the bad/buggy parts get a bit more focus. For instance, I find the Captain Sim 757 to be drop-dead gorgeous and admire it in spot view every time I fly it, but I'll still come here and whine about the autopilot suddenly deciding to pull an Immelman. This is because I'm trying to find a solution for the problem, whereas exclaiming "It looks gorgeous!" is nice, but doesn't help fix its ground-bound attitude.Compliments for products do get tossed around fairly frequently from what I see, though, especially in threads where someone asks for a this-versus-that recommendation (This is modelled exquisitely! That has amazing systems! etc etc etc).

I'm just curious, what is the OBSESSION sim pilots have with SIDs and STARs? In real life pilots hate them.

I wouldn't call it an obsession, and I've bent SIDs to suit my flightplan before, but I find STARs to be quite helpful as I'm usually multitasking while simming and can miss my TOD or end up way too high on final approach (to the dismay of the passengers in the back!)So I use STARs to keep an eye on my vertical profile to ensure an easy descent (and keep multitasking! Approaching San Diego? I'll keep surfing Avsim until I reach the LAX VOR, then pay attention :()

San Diego also needs the Aerosoft City treatment for SD Downtown.

:( If Aerosoft did KSAN + City San Diego, I would die of joy!

Where do you usually fly?Wherever I have a whim to do so. Right now, I'm focusing on my FsPax airline, which is based at KSAN, so most of my flights are in that region.What plane do you usually fly?Going with the above, Lionheart's Epic Victory, though once I can afford more planes, I'll slowly move on to Aerosoft's Twin Otter, Captain Sim's 757, PMDG's MD-11 and their NGX when it's released.What airline do you fly?Whichever, not too partial, though I do not take airlines outside their regions (I wouldn't fly a US Air 757 in Russia, for instance).Do you go through checklists and mimic all real life procedures or do you play casually?I'll use checklists for the airplane, as well as STARs, SIDs, and IAPs, but I'm fine with not following all regulations. Especially not landing restrictions. Can't count the number of crashes and wild landings I've had because I take RVRs as suggestions.What is the longest flight you have undertaken?In FS9, I went from Kansai either Seoul or Shanghai to Murmansk on the second leg of an unintentional around-the-world flight.In FSX, it was from JFK to Charles de Gaulle in the PMDG 747.What is the coolest place you have flown to?Gibraltar's a cool place now that Aerosoft's put out a scenery for it.What is the most remote destination that you have flown to?Point Barrow, AlaskaDo you play solo free flight or do you play on VATSIM?Solo, my internet connection has a habit of cutting out and...Do you use time accelerator?...I do. But only for long flights. That JFK-Paris flight? Time accelerated. However, I will not accelerate my regular FsPax shuttle run of San Diego-Catalina IslandWhat do you do (in real life) while you are cruising?Surf the internet, listen to music, read a bit, solve Rubik's cubes...Do you have a "home" airport?Right now, KSAN for my FsPax airline, but if I'm testing a new addon plane, I typically go to Hawaii's Dillingham (if it's a small plane) or St. Maarten (for the biggies).

Major: KPIT - Pittsburgh International, about an hour's drive on highways.Any: 51PN - Uncontrolled unserviced heliport in the industrial park a quarter mile away.Any (if you discount heliports :( ): 77PA - Nardo, private airstrip.
