Fusion Airways has acquired four Boeing 777-300 (ER) aircraft in their continuing effort to connect the world. Fusion has purchased the four Boeing aircraft from Mumbai based Airline, Jet Airways. The Boeing 777-300 (ER) is a stretched version of the 777-200LR currently in the Fusion Airways fleet. The new aircraft will allow Fusion to carry up to seventy-two more passengers and a higher cargo payload.* The aircraft are expected to enter service in early March, 2016 pending the required work necessary to bring the aircraft up to Fusion's strict standards. Fusion's Flight Operations and Technical Operations teams have been busy ferrying the aircraft from their home in Mumbai, India to four different overhaul facilities throughout the world. The aircraft will undergo interior modifications, including the addition of Fusion's Business Signature lie flat seat product, and then be ferried to paint shops in the Western United States in approximately four weeks. The exact purchase price of these 777-300ERs was not named by Fusion nor Jet Airways executives. In addition to the wide body aircraft, Fusion executives announced today that four Boeing 737 aircraft - including two Boeing 737-700s and two Boeing 737-800s - will be removed from storage to enter mainline service beginning Spring 2016. The airline is currently seeking approval to begin service to both Mexico and the Caribbean from the airline's New York hub. While destinations have not officially been announced, Fusion Airways is known to be in negotiations with Saint Martin and Grand Cayman airport authorities regarding potential new service, however no firm destinations have been announced - and other airport negotiations have been kept confidential. *Passenger and cargo payload numbers are subject to change pending the personalization of Fusion Airways custom interior cabin structure. --- About Fusion Airways Fusion Airways (ICAO: FUS, IATA: F4, Call-Sign: "Rip-Tide") is a virtual air carrier based in San Francisco, California.

  2. Thanks for those numbers, very helpful and a good reference!
  3. Hey all, sorry to bother again with fuel burn numbers but I was wondering if the staff could maybe post the typical fuel burn numbers for this aircraft kind of like the sticky for the Conquest II. 1st hour, 2nd, 3rd, + 45 min IFR reserve? Would make flight planning a heck of a lot easier! Please, and thank you!
  4. Seems as if Carenado made this PL21 by their own rules huh? Lol, thanks for the tip.
  5. Hi everyone. I have 1.1 installed, and did my first flight from SEZ-CRQ last night. Great bird, however I did notice that when I tried to climb to FL260, I set FLCH to desired altitude and Vx. The autopilot did not climb me at Vx, but at a speed significantly higher, I think it was around 120kts IAS. Also, FLCH did not work on descent at all. Also about descending, since FLCH didn't work I switched to V/S mode and it also would not descent after setting he alt bug, so I hand flew it down. Anyone else have this issue? I'll see if it happens again and report back.
  6. Lol, what's the point of VNAV if you have to input a VS profile?!
  7. What are the main differences between the 6700 and 6700k? I may upgrade my mobo/ram/CPU

  17. Hey everyone! I was wondering if anyone else with the X-55 HOTAS system had this problem. I set my flaps to SW1-2, and landing gear on SW5-6. But randomly, in FS the gear and flaps will come down/up in flight, or on the ground at random as if someone hit the switches without any user input. I calibrate through FSUIPC, and I notice when I want to assign commands to buttons/switches, it seems as if switches and buttons are randomly being pushed on their own erratically and I don't have time to assign a command because another switch toggles randomly. Does anyone have a remedy to this issue? Thank you so much!

  22. About a year ago, but uninstalled it due to the lack of even default scenery. The FSX interface is perfect, but I think that mainly because its what I've been used to since FS9. XP is hard to learn, I tried to make all necessary key commands to that of FSX with some success. A much better looking simulator in my opinion. I'm also aware of the ability to convert FSX scenery to XP10, but its not the same. I've come across so many texture errors, elevation errors, and honestly spending the hours trying to get it to what I want it to be isn't worth it until more addons are released. Which means I'm going to spend a ton of money when that happens lol.
