  1. I prefer the current iconic livery myself. https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/449572-trump-displays-model-air-force-one-during-meeting-with-trudeau
  2. Iconic TWA terminal opens today as unique hotel. What a spot for a future simming convention! https://newyork.cbslocal.com/2019/05/15/twa-hotel-jfk-airport/
  3. DHC-2 and DHC-3, casualties, missing & injured https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/alaska-float-plane-crash-1.5134786
  4. Sure. And it`s as lawful as Patrick Shanahan who spent 30 years at Boeing being the Acting Secretary of Defense. And/or that former Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley is to be appointed on Boeing's Board at the upcoming shareholder meeting at the end of April. Boeing has been flying politicians to Washington for decades. There is no there there.
  5. Although it is true that President Trump did appear to announce it, to it's credit, the emergency order was in fact issued by the FAA https://twitter.com/FAANews?ref_src=twsrc^google|twcamp^serp|twgr^author here is the order: https://www.faa.gov/news/updates/media/Emergency_Order.pdf
  6. EASA suspending all flight operations of all Boeing Model 737-8 MAX and 737-9 MAX aeroplanes in Europe and all commercial flights performed by third-country operators into, within or out of the EU of the above mentioned models. source: https://www.easa.europa.eu/newsroom-and-events/press-releases/easa-suspends-all-boeing-737-max-operations-europe
  7. FS2004 does not run with CD#4 from a DVD drive in WIN 10. The solution cannot be discussed on AVSIM's forums.
  8. Reinsert the DVD's; starting with the Acceleration and then disk 1 of FSX. (you`ll have options to either remove or repair)
  9. I can't wait for HardAir's Crazy-Drunk Passengers addon (and the freeware wardrobe packs) to use with the default smartphone. It`ll make for great content uploaded to YouTube. bc
  10. Unusually warm weather in Switzerland led to discovery of wreckage. source here: https://nationalpost.com/news/world/heatwave-thaws-swiss-glacier-uncovering-a-crashed-war-plane-hidden-for-72-years bc
  11. For sure Steve! I downloaded many of your repaints. Thanks! The heart of simming has always been it's freeware devs. Getting it all to work reasonably was almost as fascinating as enjoying it doing it's thing, eh?! bc
  12. Wow... Paul Golding... Those were good times indeed. In between fs98 and FS2000, eh?! Oh man... Thanks for your great contributions to this hobby. ben
  13. Hearsay is not valid evidence to form a diagnosis of substance abuse. There is presently no evidence that the victim was disinhibited by ethanol abuse. And at this stage there is no evidence regarding the state of mind of the deceased. Recordings posted on social media outside a chain of custody are not evidence. They can be tampered with and weaponized; for civil liability insurance purposes in this instance. The evidence in this matter is in the sole custody of the investigators who are involved in finding, analysing and interpreting it. Let's hope that this investigation will help all who are involved in aviation to avoid such tragedies in the future. ben
  14. At this early stage, the focus of this tragedy should be on the families and loved ones of the victims of this crash, on first responders who will have the difficult and delicate task in the coming hours of recovering the remains of the victims and on air crash investigators of this event. Let's hope that they will be able to understand and prevent it's causes from reoccurring again. bc
  15. It does appear that they lost the center core rocket. It's nevertheless one of those successful failure types of Apollo 13 events where all the goals weren't achieved but everything turned out for the better in the end. Going always was the easy part of just about everything. Coming back is the tricky part. Mars. I won't be alive to see it; but I've witnessed so many great aeronautical events during my lifetime... more than I could ever have dreamed of - and I'm fine with knowing that I'll die with the knowledge that it's where we're going. These two Falcon 9s landing together today; that was a very pretty thing to behold. Very very pretty little things landing together indeed. To all involved and in particular to Mr. Elon Musk; sincere congratulations!
  16. Perhaps you should search using the keyword default
  17. Dave Hoeffgen reworked the CRJ-700`s VC; see this thread: http://www.fsdeveloper.com/forum/threads/default-crj-700-vc-rework.436719/

  19. Well WestJet's employees couldn't unscrew the pooch last summer, eh? see here: http://www.cbc.ca/news/business/westjet-struggling-gatwick-flights-1.3670418 ben
  20. According to Mr. Trump who sold his Boeing stock last June; it`s too expensive. read about it here: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/checkpoint/wp/2016/12/06/citing-cost-overruns-trump-says-boeings-contract-to-build-air-force-one-should-be-canceled/?utm_term=.103525c4d9a4 bc
  21. I like that vintage black with faded brown upholstery and padding! This one is gonna be very very immersive
  22. There`s an interesting vvc repaint for the C47 v.3 beta over at Simviation, by Hani Michal; who is a prolific repainter. It kinda gives it a Russian fighter look... nice pale blue skin for the vvc. (I can`t seem to be able to post links here at Avsim; ... so go give it a try at Simviation)
  23. Ickie at SOH said today that the C-47 v.3 beta has been downloaded 1350 times since the 21st in the evening when it was made available. Milton`s G-73AT v1.0 was downloaded 350 times also since the 21st in the evening. SOH deserves some credit for having supported the C-47 v3 beta for years; and for making it available now. ... and let`s keep in mind that the C-47 is still being developed... it is going to get more sophisticated than it is right now; and with it being in so many hands, it`s gonna get the ying-ang tweaked outta it over the next months... Jan Visser vvc sure is a beauty! He`s so talented. We`re all lucky to have him in the FS series. And he`s a good musician also: 'even played for the soundtrack of Tarantino`s Reservoir Dogs; co-writing Little Green Bag bc
  24. OK... SOH`s servers obviously got slammed with these two fantastic freewares. The C-47 v.3 is, in my opinion, the very best of freeware prop, of al time. It`s VC is gorgeous. It sounds fantastic. There are gonna be a lot of repaints for it, foreseeably. It`s a little work of art. It`s still being improved. It was super tested, even before this beta. And all involved in this project deserve due credit for doing what most payware hasn`t achieved. I also enjoy the Mallard; a whole lot. WOW. What a day for simming. ...the C-47 v.3... there`s greatness designed into that electric thing. Thanks to all involved in these two great freeware aircraft. bc
  25. C-47 v.3`s VC is a beautifull thing; the survey says it`s going to be an all-time classic. For FSX & P3D The turbo Mallard is another one of Milton`s Shupe`s great freewares. Get`em at SimOuthouse! bc
