 Yeah nothing like a 5 hour cross country flight and CTD on approach. 

Mine doesn't. Do you have any .bgls with KSEA in your main FSX folder? 

Wish I could do this for real!

Yeah me too! I wanna do something like that for a week, no wifi,no games. 

Will the -8 be a separate package? Or will it be an expansion?

In a real long haul, pilots are always checking and double checking the position of the aircraft and fuel against the flight plan. In a sim long haul I'll usually stay at my desk until TOC then study, watch a movie, or just surf the web. I usually cant sit a the desk for more than 40 mins at a time, because I think i have ADHD.

Jordan,

 

Well, I guess this is as good a time as any to post on AvSim. I am going to make a formal announcement later this month but here's a peek at what I am up to in the video production department.

 

To answer your question up front: no I don't plan to do any RNAV 737NGX videos.

 

In 2015 I will be moving to another aircraft platform with my training videos. The B-777. I am going to organize in a slightly different manner than I did with the 737NGX videos. With the 737NGX I had a team of reviewers (Kyle here was one of them) who checked my videos for accuracy and content, etc. before I released them. I think together Kyle, myself, Michael Cubine, Matt (a real world 737NG pilot and Eric Martin, all made and contributed to making some outstanding 737NGX training videos. 

 

The MCP series, taking over 20 videos to cover, is the most comprehensive MCP training series you will find anywhere! As I've always said, my hat is off to my review team for helping to make these videos happen.

 

With the 777 I am assembling a team of real world 777 pilots: a current 777 pilot, a retired 777 pilot and one active 777 sim instructor working for a major airline in the US. These folks will serve as my video reviewers for my 777 training videos and, like the 737NGX, I will be following the Boeing standards as far as procedures go.

 

For anyone who might ask what will my 777 training videos look like, just watch a few of my 737NGX videos and you'll see my teaching style and structure. My teaching style and the structure will be the same.

 

The 777 sim product I am planning to use is the CaptainSim 777. They have been very responsive to my inquiries and have agreed to partner with me and have given me permission to use their 777 product in my training videos. Due to software licensing issues, I need the permission of any 777 sim maker before I can actually use their product in my training videos.

 

I don't need to go into the details, so I will just say that PMDG was unresponsive to my multiple inquiries over a 3 month period to work with them and their 777 product for my videos. So, I had no choice but to finally give up on them.

 

I may end up buying their 777 product to check my scripts against their implementation of the 777, but I won't be actually using their product in my videos. I cannot get their owner, Mr. Randazzo to return my phone calls. I would like to make sure my training videos work for both products as those are the main two 777 sims out there. I think I owe the flight sim community this much. I might also add that Wilco was unresponsive as well to my inquiries regarding using their 777 product in my videos.

 

I think in an ideal world, it would have been nice to get agreements from both CaptainSim and PMDG to use both of their products in my training videos. I think this would have been in the best interest of the flight sim community. But I got approval only from CaptainSim, so it will be their 777 used in my videos.

 

In 2014 I made 36+ 737NGX videos and am currently working on my last two videos covering LNAV on the MCP. I wanted to get these done before the end of 2014 but it didn't happen. I will finish and post them this month. That will then be all for the 737NGX for awhile.

 

Sounds good, I look forward to the 777 videos.

You might want to watch my How To Fly A Perfect ILS Approach video. It was made to eliminate those problems!

Ralph I appreciate your videos. Do you plan any RNAV app videos?

My dad is so excited for this, this past summer he and I watched Episodes 1-6

Okay, so is it still giving you a scenery error and then just closing out? is the scenery error something along the lines of  invalid remote path..... ? 

I'm also standing by with the debt card.

Have you been using simstarter to run FSX?

Thanks for the heads up.

I don't currently have it installed, but I did buy it. I think for some it might just be a backup in case they lose a disk or the disk becomes unreadable. My main purpose for buying was I have misplaced my disk and for $5 I couldn't resist. On the plus side as mentioned above it should bring more people into our hobby and most likely, more development.

The flight 1 king air has something similar, and its a joy to hand fly. Its got engine wear,hot starts and many others. Although it is a modern aircraft with a G1000. Heres Ray's review of it

Brings back the good ole days with the original multiplayer

I've been looking forward to this since they announced it. 

For people in australia. EB shops are full of boxed gold editions. I bought mine so cheap a few months ago. I cannot believe how expensive amazon is selling them.... It would make sense if it was a rarity but seeing 10 copies at my local shop, I just do not understand....

Here in the U.S. there're pretty scarce. I'd go buy a few copies and sell em.

You can try flightsimstore but as they will have to ship from Australia that may add to the cost. Another Australian computer store ebgames (pretty big company) is selling fax for 18 bucks. Don't know if they ship to outside Australia or if they do how much it costs.

I've already got 2 copies of fsx. Original and gold. But maybe I should buy up a bunch of cheap copies from ebgames and start selling them on eBay?

haha I would and sell em for $235. Yall still have ebgames? They were bought out buy gamestop here.

Negative on the email. I've looked over the past few days on both Microsoft and amazon.The cheapest on amazon is $65 just for acceleration. I'll keep checking, I was just shocked at the prices.   

I recently had a scare, When FSX kept crashing, I was able to do a quick search and find my problem. Lucky for me it was a simple thing that was my fault.Sometime long ago I lost my original copy of acceleration,I still have my standard copy. So I began to search, for FSX Gold edition. The prices that came up were outrageous, like $235 on amazon. Anyways if anyone knows a legitimate place to buy a copy please let me know. 

P.S. I know about steam, but i prefer a hard copy.

Which liveries does it come with?

Virgin Atlantic, British Airways and Default iFly

I only had time for a quick circuit around KLAX got a college final in an hour but she seems to fly well and performance is fine NICE VC but shadows aren't working in FSX DX10 mode :(

Flys great!! Handles like the real thing (I've flown a level D 747-400 sim at United's TC) frames are good like I said I just had a minute to fly. The frames stayed mostly at my Vsync of 30 anyway here are some screens.

Weird I was just reading the trip report on the forums. Nice shots and good luck on your final. 

Awesome work!

Parallel approach EDDL

Looks great. I'm gonna be broke over the next couple of months.
