For me, civil and military Civil: B707 B727-100/200 B737-200/300/400/500/700/800 B747-200/300/400 B757-200 B767-200/300 B777-200 A300 A319 A320 A321 A332-200/300 A380 DC9 DC10 L-1011 MD80 F27 F50 F28 Emb 120 Emb 190 Gulfstream 2 Learjet 35 Twin Otter Nomad 22 BAC 1-11 DH8-200/300/400 ATR42 ATR72 JS31 Shorts 360 SF340 SF2000 BAE146 SW3 SW4 C182 C172 PA28 M20C BE55 BE58 C414 Military: F18 Mir 3 A4 C130-E/H CC08 P3 HS748 CH47 B206 MB326 UH1H CT4B I think that's it Craig

737_800 I think the warning for flaps and trim are based on values on the FMC. Did you enter any details into the FMC before your test? Craig

I get the same announcement occasionally with the PMDG NGX and just ignore it. Cheers Craig

I had this problem when I first installed it. You need to have the scenery density slider at dense or better from memory. Rgds Craig

The Second looks like Stavanger Craig

In a no radar environment and with IMC the cutoff distance for dep maybe 3nm so a 4nm call will help the tower controller decide whether to depart an aircraft or not

109.9 in Nav 1 113.0 in Nav 2. Because there isn't a DME with the ILS the dist wont be displayed on the PFD, make sure you switch VOR 1 and 2 on on the glare shield panel and dist will be displayed on the ND on the bottom right

SR71

The comparison between the AXE and the FSL A320 is surely just stupid. The AXE is designed for the middle of the road hobby simmer where the FSL as I understand it is designed for those who want total functionality, and more importantly like the MJC DH8D, they have commercial customers in mind as a training product. So totally different markets. Just a thought Craig

Hi Flew into LSZH today with low vis due to fog and mist etc. Amazing!!! Been flying around Europe last couple of days and didn't see any difference between ASE and ASN. But landing in ENZV was pretty good with the broken at 800 but Zurich did it for me Craig

Ahhh ok thanks Kyle

Hi Not sure if this is a PMDG or fsx issue. I have run both ASE and REX and am getting very strange wind behaviour. It veers, backs and does 180 deg changes in the space of seconds when in the cruise, climb and descent. I have selected wind smoothing and variance suppression in FSUIPC. Any ideas as to the cause and solutions? Also I have CH throttle quad and on takeoff I advance the throttles to 40% and then engage the A/T. It thrust advances to the programmed thrust level but when I move the throttle levers to the max it trips the A/T switch. Manual override is set to never in the setup. Any ideas to fix the problem welcome. Thanks Craig

looks to me like a burst tyre has caused the other tyre to go and the shrapnel rubber has done the damage

Believe it or not there are probably at least a thousand near misses or near hits as they should be called every week around the world due to a multitude of reasons. A point about the Überlingen mid-air collision, one of the Swiss controllers involved in the accident was murdered on his front door step in front of his children by a father of one of the children who died in the Tu154. very sad indeed.

Thing is NDB and VORs still exist because not all aircraft have FMCs. Furthermore, it is not cost effective to install ILS approaches to every runway and so available instrument approaches are dependent on the volume of commercial traffic to that particular airfield. After all, user pays. Also re VORs and TACANs, not sure if current systems do it but they did use VORs etc as a check to confirm the accuracy of the IRS.

I have a similar problem with the PMDG NGX recently where I have been taxiing along and then suddenly it tells me I have crashed. Same has occurred just sitting at the gate. Craig

Yes checked the schedule. I thought they went back to October but apparently not. Craig

It would be an Emirates aircraft probably codeshare with Qantas. From the end of this month Qantas will run its UK services via Dubai instead of Singapore and code share with Emirates not only from Australia to the UK, across the Tasman but also with the Emirates services to other European destinations. I guess in time as Qantas International recovers to profit, they may base some Qantas aircraft in Dubai for services to other European destinations such as Frankfurt. The current Frankfurt service will ceasein October I think. Craig

This is an interesting thread. When Qantas and Emirates announced their proposed partnership, one of the issues raised was the issue of Israelis passing through Dubai on their way to Israel from Australia. There is a reasonably large number of Jews living in Melbourne who frequently travel to Israel and so it was an issue for that community, as they wanted to fly Qantas. When the question was put to Qantas about Israeli/Jews passing through Dubai the response was that they have checked and their would not be a problem. I wonder if the suggested Emirates route is in response to this market. Craig

Thanks for the update Ro Glad to hear that all is working well. I worked on the new CAIRDE system from 2002-2004, testing and training the lead controllers how to use the system. Towards the end there was talk about IAA taking responsibility for a chunk of UK airspace to the north on a revenue sharing basis. Made sense that the one centre (Shannon) looked after the transition from continental to oceanic airspace. Rgds Craig

wind on the atis is true as far as I remember as an air traffic controller. Mind you that was a few years ago and I am a lot older now lol Hi Ro, how is the ATC system working in Ireland these days? Heard of any probs with the equipment? Craig

Well guys PMDG have been developing 3 aircraft concurrently so who knows what at least 2 of the next 3 products will be. One will be the DC3 or DC4 according to the Captain. So what the other two are, time will tell. As for past products, the Captain said that they didn't sell that many MD11, more than McDonnell Douglas, but not a huge success from a sim POV. I love it BTW lol. So there is nothing wrog with suggestions. Market research will determine the products developed. Craig

Will Just been doing some research. Seems Qantaslink use QLK as the ICAO airline designator for the Dash 8s' and QJE for the 717. Mainline Qantas use QFA.But they use the IATA QF for all flights. I think the 4 digits differentiate the regional network from the mainline ops. International 1-399 Domestic 400+ The 6 series being for specials.

Any flight number of 4 numbers starting with a 6 I think meets your definition Will. Don't forget Qantaslink have 4 digit flight numbers. Craig

LatinVFR has released their version of KSAN. Looking at the vids on sim market it looks pretty good. It will be interesting to get feedback from users. Craig
