It looks as if they were getting a bit of heat - the PMDG comment has now been removed from their F/Book post.

Good evening Tigg Well, here's something for the 727-200 (it's for FS2004 so I'm not sure to what extent it will read across accurately to a FSX model, but it might be worth a look anyway) http://www.freechecklists.net/simchecklists.asp As regards the other two frames, I don't know of anything off the top of my head. Best wishes Brian

Tom Like many others here, I don't know you personally (although a couple of years ago we did exchange a humourous comment in the Forums about my wife being glad that the links to FlightSim videos had gone AWOL, thus reducing the time I spent with those 'darned pretend airplanes'). But your bad news has knocked me sideways. I just want to briefly say two things - firstly, I hope in whatever time is left to you, you manage to do as much as humanly possible with your loved ones and friends. And secondly, and very simply, "Thank you for your enormous contribution to the pleasure that FlightSimming and AvSim has brought to so many of us over the years. Neither you nor that contribution will be forgotten". Best wishes Brian Wilks

This pdf file gives you comprehensive details of all (at least, I think it's all) of the keyboard commands for FSX; could be handy to print it out and keep it by your computer. http://www.mutleyshangar.com/downloads/FSX%20Keyboard%20Commands%20Pamphlet.pdf

Someone seems to have paid the electricity bill yesterday, as SimRoutes is now working as before :-)

I can only echo what many others have said in this thread - many thanks for all the hard and intensive work to everyone who was involved in bringing AvSim back online - great to have the site back :-)

As Jim mentioned above, this is a regular problem nowadays for people who use up-to-date charts when flying on FSX with its out-of-date airports. There are updated versions of many (most?) major airports in the libraries of this and other simulator websites and these will normally update the navigation aids at the airport to something closer to what modern charts show (although sometimes even these add-ons can themselves quickly be overtaken by events!). One thing I do if flying to a default FSX airport is check this site before I depart to ensure I know in advance what navaids will be available at my destination - thus avoiding that nasty problem of arriving in low visibilty expecting a nice ILS to be available, only to find it's missing. http://fsxdb.com/ Regards Brian Wilks

Good afternoon Bob This will update the FSX database and most, if not all, of those 'missing' waypoints will then be available for flight planning. http://www.gbmitch.net/ Brian Wilks

This would be a good choice ... http://forum.avsim.net/forum/121-ms-fsx-forum/ Regards Brian

There's a R34 airship on this page (about the 7th item down) at Simviation. No idea if it's any good but at least it's a 'steerable balloon'! http://simviation.com/fsxmisc7.htm I'm sure that over the years I've seen more airships in the various download libraries here at AvSim and also at FlightSim and Simviation - if the R34 doesn't do the job, it could be worthwhile trawling through these libraries for airship, blimp, zeppelin - or any other term that could be used to describe them. Anyway, with luck the R34 will be just what you need. All the best Brian Wilks

The Airbus auto-trims in real life so in principle Wilco's model is correct (in other words, if you don't want auto-trim, don't fly an Airbus). However, Wilco's implementation of the Airbus trim process has some odd quirks - although, by using the correct settings, you can successfully avoid problems. There was a discusiion on VatSim about the Wilco Airbus early last year and you might find this of interest ... http://forums.vatsim.net/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=57999 ... see especially Kirk Christie's post of 21 January 2012 about the necessity to fly the Wilco Airbus in Expert mode and to set the sensitivity levels correctly (and also his emphasis on how the Airbus can't be flown in the same way as a Boeing aircraft).

It's only the GameSpy system that has been abandoned by Microsoft; multiplayer sessions are still available using alternative methods. Here are a few links which might assist you in getting going - I can't vouch for how hard/easy the process is, as I only use VatSim for my online flying; but these links might give you a few ideas. http://aussiex.org/forum/index.php?/topic/16262-fsx-multiplayer-direct-connection/ http://www.fsxbeyondgamespy.com/sessions.php http://www.fsopen.co.uk/info/sessions/ Regards Brian Wilks

Good morning Gregg Some time ago, I came across this quick-and-easy primer covering some of the differences between USA and European ATC procedures. It's very basic but I found it informative; hope it's of some use to you too. http://www.vorstaedt.de/eurprimer.html Regards Brian Wilks

Landings shouldn't be a problem; it's just a question of having a good co-pilot
