Start with a lower initial altitude, then increase it as you go. You always can request a higher or lower FL in flight. Example: I would start with a flight level of something like FL220. Then if i knew that my airplane could climb higher once some of the fuel has been burned, I would request from FS ATC climbs of 4,000 feet. Continue from there till you are at a level that is optimum. Sorry, I'm not sure if VOX ATC operates in the same way.

Here are some of the photos that I used to complete a brand new repaint for the Tinmouse 737-200! The repaint for this old bird will be up very shortly in a matter of a few days.

Here are some of the airplanes that were parked durring the event! There were many helicopters flying all over the place as well, but I never seemed to have my camera at the right moment. Normally the airspace is uncontrolled, so for the event - the FAA brought in a temp tower and some of the controllers from O'hare Intl (KORD). Some of the ATC guys were quite funny - many of the pilots are just starting flight training and they don't have a lot of tower experiance. A conversation like this took place. N2166E : "Tower, this 2166E holding short of runway 02, training a student on Air Traffic Control procedures, ready for takeoff westbound departure." Tower: " Roger, cleared for the westbound departure - Yea, we're trying to train you guys too." My instuctor and I almost died of laughter.

Though our airline's primary goal is to carry passengers and goods on a regular basis, we will always step in where virtual help is needed. As we speak, there are two hurricanes that are spinning around in the Atlantic Ocean could affect the island of Bermuda. With every passing second, Hurricane Leslie is growing in power. As a destination of our airline, it is part of our responsibility to help ferry passengers and cargo supplies for rebuilding. Wright Airlines is offering pilots a substancial bonus for completing as many flights as possible in a few days. For your charity work, each flight back and forth between the mainland and Bermuda will award you with a $25,000 pilot bonus for each flight completed! You can now fly to Bermuda from Charlotte/Douglas using the following aircraft: A380-800 MD-11 MD-11F 707-300 747-400C 757-200 767-300 For the latest information on the Hurricanes, please use this fantastic aviation resource. http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/ If you are interested in joining our airline to help out with these flights, please visit our site today! www.wrightairlines.org

After a successful start in the city of Chicago, Wright Airlines is announcing the official opening of our newest hub – Charlotte/Douglas International! Once the opening ceremony was completed, our airline proceded with the closure of one of our least utilized hubs in our airline. Wright Airlines is proud to be operating from three fantastic hubs geographically located in some of the worlds most challenging airspace’s. As of today, Wright Airlines operates a hub and spoke system from the following major airports: Seattle Tacoma Intl. Chicago Midway Intl. Charlotte/Douglas Intl. - Our main hub With this new expansion, we have added many more routes and have purchased many airplanes that need pilots! We are looking for a dedicated team of pilots to fly from these hubs. No prior virtual airline experience is required. For more details along with registration information, feel free to visit our website to find all the details you will ever need.

Howdy everyone! Our airline is expanding and I need your help. I am in dire need of people to help with the day-to-day operations both on the virtual airline and the website ends of things. Since I have started a new job, I have found that I don't have as much time as I would like to donate to the site and our community of pilots and to the development of freeware add-ons. I am looking for people who have a good understanding of basic issues within FSX, and some real life experience (either online or offline) managing people/goods/resources. You must be over 17 years of age. Is this right up your ally? Send our support team a quick message using this forum here: http://www.wrightair....php/contact-us ( Chicago – Our home city! ) Thanks guys! ^_^

Perhaps you could meet up with this guy: http://devinci.invisionzone.com/index.php?/topic/12-b717-3d-model/ He's almost done with the exterior of a 717, and will be working on the interior as well. If you know how to program gauges and the like, I'm sure he'd love the help.

Ok, that sounds good. It wasn't what I wanted to hear - but if it's the model's fault I guess there is nothing I can do about it.They should consider making a fix... Thanks! The repaint will be up on my website very soon for download.

In the photos attached below you can see this very wierd repainting issue. From a certain angle and a certain distance, the top of the airplane turns GREEN! All the layers have been ligned up correctly so I don't think it's an issue with either Master_MD11_Fuse_Left_T or Master_MD11_Fuse_Right_T.I'm sure someone has come across this problem once before while repainting the MD-11. I simply don't have a clue as to what I need to fix. If need be - I'm willing to upload my Photoshop files to my server so you guys can take a better look for yourself.

I've done some searching of my own, but I am having issues finding usable download links to the much needed photoshop files.- Erick Cantu's Embraer EMB120 Brasilia- Project Opensky 737-800- Project Opensky 737-600- Alejandro Rojas Lucena' MD-83 for FSX (FSND)- Aero Commander 500 for FS2004 Model designed and animated in GMAX by Milton ShupeIf you could help me find only one, that would be GREAT!

I'll have to uplad a video of this one of these days. It's much more funny to see it happening in real time. This is why we don't put Jet A-1 in our prop planes... LOL!

The Maule M7 vs. The Airbus A380 It's great what you can do with the sim. Especially if you want to do something goofy!

After several days of discussions amongst the administrative staff of Chicago Flights™ VA, we have come to an agreement. Though we have been a very successful virtual airline in the short haul market (100-400 NM), we decided that it was time to expand into the medium/long haul markets (500-1200 NM). With this decision, have opened up more than 10 hubs around the world, and have added more than 400 new routes to our VA! From exotic places like the sandy hills of Arabia, to the remote hilltops in the Andes Mountains, every new route offers lots of eye candy to allow your flights to be that much more enjoyable.With the list of routes constantly expanding, we have bought a large assortment of new airliners for the new routes. These aircraft are primarily the Boeing 747, 757, 767, the Airbus A321 and the A380, along with reliable and trusty MD-11. You can view a listing of our current routes HERE, or view the new and improved interactive map HERE to witness the massive labyrinth of routes. To see the network and operate the interactive map, simply click on the airport markers on the map! We look forward to seeing you joining our virtual airline! To get started, please apply here… http://chicagoflight...VAFS&op=pre-app Please note that pilots who join our virtual airline will have to fly a minimum of successful 15 flights before they will become eligible to fly the heavy jets. Upon completion of this minimal task, pilots would then be able to switch to the hub of their choice.We hope to see you fling high over the Chi-Town sky!iheart707

From what it's translating to, it sounds like you are advertising for you server rather than the main idea of this post. Are you seriously interested in partaking in the voice over?

Since I’m not too sure if this is the correct place for this post, please feel free to move it if need be admins. If you have stopped by the Chicago Flights FSX™ server lately, you might have noticed several major changes. One of which is the inclusion of an automated voice client that let’s players know what’s going on inside the server. Currently, we are using a very robotic computer voice to accomplish this very important task. Since it really is not the best voice in the world to hear when pilots load into the server, we would like to change that! We are looking for individuals who can replace our robot for good. If you feel you have the voice, and the will to be heard by hundreds of aviators daily, please apply for this position! We are willing to give anyone who applies a chance to show off their radio skills. Persons willing to participate in the voice-overs must have the following criteria: An understanding of the basic English language The ability to speak clearly within a timely manner A British, Australian, or United States accent A quality microphone ( little to no background noise/static) Enthusiasm! Applicants may contact me through my email listed in my profile, private messages on Chicago Flights™, PM’s on Avsim, or as reply’s to this post. From there, we will be in contact with you with more important information. Thanks folks! Can’t wait to see who applies!

So how is Dippa any better than a "direct connect" to a server when it comes to multiplayer reliablity? Direct connect has always been a solution to Gamespy. It seems like both do the same thing, but your program offers the ability for user password.

As you said, it truely is a universal problem. Since we started our server in mid 2006, our entir Chicago Flights ™ team has been hounding Microsoft for a solution to this problem. After years of attempting to get to the bottom of this, it seems that no one wants to take the first step. Microsoft blames Gamespy for their server issues, and Gamespy blames Microsoft for their in game coding. No one for the last 5 years has ever thought of gee-I-dunno a fix? :( It is incredibly annoying, and it is a problem that will most likely never be resolved. However, the Direct Connect function works well and seems to be the most reliable way to get into servers.If you are lucky enough to find a server IP and password (if there is one), you can jump into any Multiplayer server without too much of an issue. Instead of going into Gamespy, log into LAN and click on the button that says direct connect. Type in your information- and you're good to go!We offer our IP and password on our site if you and others would want to use our dedicated server for your multiplayer enjoyment.Hopefully this clarifies some things for you!

Can we have a picture of this issue? Please take a quick snapshot of the plane you experienced this in, and one of the airports.

I'm not sure what your asking because you are comparing apples to oranges.What do you mean by your AI airplanes, and flight plans? Are you talking about other traffic addons on top of UT2?Please clarify so I can help... :(

If you guys want a dedicated and very convent server, you are all more than welcome to use ours. We would love to have those who are willing to learn, in our server! See the link on my signature for more information.Thanks!

Hello there!Depending upon how much you want to spend, there are a variety of options. These range from liquid cooling to simple box fans. However, I'm going to assume you don't want to pay up the wazoo for liquid cooling!One important thing to remember is that the size of your case will also limit your choices for fans and such. Make sure you can allow a bigger fan in your case and nothing will be restricted and your power cables will not be an issue.This is an inexpensive but a very reliable fan for the Intel Socket LGA 1156/1155 (Yours)/775 and AMD Socket AM3/AM2/940/939/754.Coolmaster Hyper TX3 $ 27 UShttp://www.coolermaster.com/product.php?product_id=6602Since it is universal, if you upgrade to an i7 someday, you could still utilize the same fan on another new build and save some cash! There are also many other things you can do to cool down your case as well.-Remove unwanted wires (don't cut them) from the air holes on your case.-Clean it frequently from dust build-up.-Install more fans. One on the front and rear should do fine, but make sure that the airflow is in one direction.-Buy a more efficient power supply to further remove heat from the case.-Install a PCI cooler in another slot of your computer... (Like this one for $8.99 http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3516736&CatId=804 )-Clear the outside of the case from obstructions to airflow and make sure that it has enough room to breathe.-Buy an expensive liquid cooling system-The list goes on...Hopefully this helps!

Good to hear that you figured it out on your own with the sound issues!As for the bouncing, it might be because of the terrain loading around your airplane. As it refreshes, it rebuilds the labyrinth of polygons that lie around your airplane. A ton of people have had problems with the POSKY 747 with the plane being naturally unstable on the ground due to that exact same issue. There are a ton of issues that have never been resolved on that airplane so it might not be your computer.Then again, it wouldn't hurt to see what kind of computer you were using! If you could, please list important things like your processer, ram, GPU, and anything else that might be important.

Here's what I was looking at... These are current prices as of 1/14/2011The "Ultimate" Super 80 Simulation for FSX and FS2004$39.95[/url]http://www.flight1.c...p?product=uas80-----------MD-81/82 Jetliner (Download and Boxed are the same price)$38.80http://www.justflight.com/product.asp?pid=516As you can see, it is truly a single dollar (and a few pennies) difference.
