Ohhh it grew on me. Always seemed a bit like flying an ocean liner.... Big, lumbering, antiquated, but wonderful all the same.

While it isn't entirely on topic, due to the lack of population and traffic, the Southern Pacific is regularly used to dump reentering satellites that need disposal. There is nothing there! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spacecraft_cemetery

Man, I wouldn't want to fly in that in real life. Nice shots!

I am no expert on the aircraft, but I do not recall there being any shortcuts for this one. If you want to fly it, you will have to learn the process. And just wait until you get to navigating in the 154. The Soviets did it differently, thats for sure!

Which are you talking about?

I can't believe nobody has mentioned this: The Project Tupolev TU-154. From what I have been told, it is a pretty deeply modeled aircraft. And in my opinion, quite the challenge to learn, if you don't know cyrillic.

Congratulation Andrew on following the dream and working your way up to the airlines! If I may ask, which has been your favorite to fly?

A few pages back some guys complained that these GA aircraft feel slow. Well I just started flying in real life in a Schweizer 2-33 and 55 MPH feels really fast to me right now! These Pipers are complete speed demons! Anyways, looks like another great A2A aircraft. The Cherokee is a work of art, as so many have said. I hope some of its features get added to their older products again. I'm not done with my PA-28 yet!

Those are really something. The third to last in particular places us right there in Innsbruck.

Thank you everybody! It really is a beautiful area to fly in.

After a few months off from flight sim, its time to get back into things. I have a great trip planned for the next few flights. Here is leg 1 of the Great Cherokee Adventure. (I used the A2A Cherokee, BlueSky photoscenery, ASN, and REX Essentials Plus. Sectionals courtesy of Skyvector) We start our flight in Montana at Laurel 6S8 just outside of Billings. Flight navigation is accomplished by hard IFR - I follow roads. Just in case we get lost, we have the Billings VOR. Before long, the nice farm land below turns to mountains. Somehow the road still goes here. Must be some drive. The sun begins to set as we come up on the airport. We spot the airport. Luckinbill WY06 is a narrow, unpaved private airport. Should be fun, don't you think? We carefully fly our pattern, keeping a watchful eye on the rising terrain. These narrow strips always seem to come up fast. Made it! Doesn't seem to be much here. I guess we will be camping out tonight! Thanks for viewing!

Wow. Thats all I got.

I think the FSX boxed copies may have been discontinued. (Completely a guess)

I think Dovetail needs to decide what product they want to replace: MS Flight or FSX? The issue of course being that (in theory) the MS Flight product model makes more sense for a business. Its a limited area, they control the DLC, etc. The issue though is that this will never replace FSX.P3D, XP, etc. The simmers who post on forums such as this are looking for a solid base program to build a flight sim world off of. I'm just afraid that there isnt enough money in this for a company to invest in. Features? Stable. 64 bit. Whatever it takes. Good physics or the ability to use plugins to make a good flight model by DLC developers Realistic Scenery Realistic Night Lighting. The standard is now Xplane, so it should be at least that good. Weather at least on the level of FSX default. Full navigation aids. AI traffic If possible, ATC. But that is such a difficult task I think it is too much to ask for.

Somewhere in Montana, if I remember correctly. Regarding file location, I have it on an external drive, so it should not matter.
