For a single session there are three canidates (on two I may have saved once en route but It was a while ago so I can't be sure) - Brisbane (YBBN) - Rarotonga (NCRG) PMDG 737-700 2,582 nm (This was definitely in one session - New York/JFK (KJFK) - Amsterdam (EHAM) PMDG MD-11 3,166 nm - Athens (LGAV) - Bangkok/Suvarnabhumi (VTBS) PMDG MD-11 4,287 nm Longest in a Classic Airliner - Bermuda (TXKF) - London/Gatwick (EGKK) Captain Sim 707-320B 2,998 nm Longest in Multi Sessions - Los Angeles (KLAX) - Alice Springs (YBAS) PMDG 777-200LR 7,032 nm. Was the second flight in the 777 I did after a short KPAE-KLAX hop Years ago in FS9 I did Toulouse (LFBO) - Noumea (NWWW) 9,306 nm in I think the Posky A340-200. I was trying to get to Auckland but got low on fuel so I diverted to Noumea. But for that flight I did use time compression.

Whatever it is I'm buying straight away. Unfavourable exchange rates be damned. If it is turboprop I hope it's either an L.188 Electra or a Vanguard

Their VC looks a lot worse than even the default A321. Have a look at their A330 who knew the A330-200 had the same dimensions as the A330-300! For nearly 20 EUR thanks but no thanks I could buy a decent scenery for that. Now excuse me while I get back to loading my Aerosoft Airbus.

A couple of the Australian 737 flights I generally do are YBBN-YSSY YBBN-YBTL YSSY-YMML YMML-YPAD YPAD-YBAS These are are all 1-2 hour flights Flying for Virtual Norwegian I've discovered quite a few smaller airports in Norway I like to take the NGX into especially with FTX Norway. A couple of my favourites are: ENEV - Harstad/Narvik - In particular the scenic offset approach into Rwy 35 ENTC - Tromso - 4° Approach for both Rwy 01/19 ENML - Molde - scenic approach fjord on one side mountain on the other. A quick 30-40 minute flight from Oslo RIght now I'm taking Yananyi Dreaming (before it lost it's paintjob) on a RTW So far I've done YBBN-NZAA-NCRG-PLCH-PHNL-KLAX-KDFW-MHTG. with MHTG-MPTO-SPIM-SBEG-TTCP-TNCM-GVAC-DFFD-DTTA-LIPZ-LYBE-LTBA-OIIE-UTDD-UCFM-ZWWW-ZLXY-ZSPD-RPLL-AYPY-YBBN. I'm just waiting on buying scenery for Panama City, Lima and Tobago before I can leave Tegucigalpa. Kiritimati (PLCH) was an interesting approach. Turns out there are tall trees right before the threshold of Rwy 08 I ended up doing a St Barts style approach with a little harder than normal landing!

I've taken old metal on the YBBN-YSSY route a number of times. Going south an easy but lazy way is tracking BN LAV TW SY which takes you a little to the west of the current H62/H12 route. If you want to follow H62/H12 exactly track BN LAV MSO/NDB from MSO/NDB I think it's outbound 190° until you hit inbound SY 160°. Another interesting route is YBAS-YPAD It's been a while since I've flown it but between I think Oodnadatta NDB (OOD) and Leigh Creek VOR (LEC) there's a small gap where you're out of range of radio navaids you basically fly a constant heading until you pick up LEC

I'm doing this currently. I've only ever competed a RTW tour once before. It give you a chance to stop in at interesting places you wouldn't otherwise visit. On my current tour I've just passed through Kiritimati a tiny atoll halfway between Rarotonga and Hawaii. Once I get to europe I'm planning of taking a silk road routing to China with stops in Italy, Serbia, Turkey, Iran, Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan.

I had a look through all the usual channels and couldn't find anything. I'm pretty sure I had a RFDS repaint when I flew the Aeroworx B200 but can't remember where I got it. Closest I could find was an Air Ambulance NSW repaint http://library.avsim.net/search.php?SearchTerm=aansw.zip&CatID=fs2004acrp&Go=Search

It's really tough to pick a winner. There have been so many good add on's in the last five years. Overall Top 3 Majestic Dash 8-Q400 - Firstly because of it's incredibly light footprint on FSX . It's also very immersive and fun to fly. Having recently joined Flybe VA I've done quite a few Q400 runs lately and It never gets old. A2A Piper Cherokee - It's hard to choose between the Cessna 172 and Cherokee (I haven't bought the 182 yet) The Cherokee just seems to have just that little bit more character than the 172. But I rate them both they just an all around great package with the walk around and hangar modules also the fact it models time progression between flights. PMDG Boeing 737 NGX - It was just so innovative for it's time it well and truly raised the bar for flight sim add ons. Two years later I'm still getting as much enjoyment out of it as I did back in 2012. Single Engine LSA/GA Top 5 A2A Piper Cherokee A2A Cessna 172 Real Air Lancair Legacy Ant's Tecnam Eaglet Baytower Vans RV-7 Twin Engine (Piston/Turbine) GA Top 4 Real Air Beechcraft Duke B60 v2 Flight 1 Beechcraft Kingair B200 Real Air Beechcraft Turbine Duke Milviz Beechcraft Baron B55 Commuter Airliner (<110 Pax) Top 5 Majestic Dash 8-Q400 PMDG Jetstream J41 Aerosoft Twin Otter X Extended Qualitywings BAe 146/Avro RJ Feelthere ERJ v2 Commercial Airliner (>110 Pax) Top 5 PMDG Boeing 737 NGX Coolsky DC-9 PMDG Boeing 777 Aerosoft Airbus A32S X Simcheck A300 Even though it's not an aircraft I think it's worth mentioning PFPX by Flight Sim Soft. This flight planning tool has transformed the way I fly.

I'm not too sure. I don't use bookmarks for my charts. But the software is free so there's no harm in trying.

I use a program called Primo PDF. From navigraph charts or whatever source I'm using I'll go to print the navplate but instead of selecting my printer I'll select Primo PDF then a prompt comes up allowing you to save it wherever you like. I usually save it into Dropbox then access it from my EFB (aka Samsung Tablet)

Well I'm a big King Air fan so as much as I'd like my vote to be for F1's B200. But if the Realair B60 v2 is anything to go by I'd have to go with their Turbo Duke v2 upon realease. Heck even the current Turbo Duke is worthy of a place in best turboprops. If I had to rank the turboprops (all sizes) it'll go 1. Majestic Dash 8-Q400 2. Realair Turbine Duke v1 3. Flight1 Beechcraft B200 4. Aerosoft Twin Otter Extended 5. PMDG Jetstream J41 Not to discredit Flight1 in anyway. Their King air is a bloody good plane but I'm not too fussed on the G1000 avionics.

A screenshot thread for all Dashes. Twotters also welcome. I'll start with a recent EIDW-EGHI trip. fsx 2014-11-11 21-51-55-75 by vhqpa8, on Flickr fsx 2014-11-11 21-54-55-85 by vhqpa8, on Flickr fsx 2014-11-11 22-04-14-84 by vhqpa8, on Flickr fsx 2014-11-11 22-25-40-50 by vhqpa8, on Flickr fsx 2014-11-11 22-26-04-52 by vhqpa8, on Flickr fsx 2014-11-11 22-41-22-72 by vhqpa8, on Flickr fsx 2014-11-11 23-34-50-47 by vhqpa8, on Flickr

To be fair Justflight FLite/CLS products are aimed at casual simmers who basically just want a pretty model to fly and usually aren't too worried about whether all the systems are modeled or if it the flight dynamics are what you'd expect from a 747. I personally wouldn't go anywhere near it. I was burned by the Justflight L1011 when It came out being a non CLS product with a higher pricing point I was expecting it to be a step above. For the Captainsim 707 you can get a working INS 2D pop up for free at http://www.simufly.com/ins/ Works with most aircraft. ^ Thats my Captainsim 707 with a three unit INS set up. Older aircraft worth a look are. A2A Boeing 377 Stratocruiser: From an era of the big radials It's a delight to fly a little to tricky to navigate (no DME) but once you've flown it a few times it's nowhere near as daunting as it first appears. Aerosoft/Simcheck A300: Has an INS out of the box VC is a little dated but otherwise a good addition Captainsim 707: Once you have the Simufly INS it's an excellent product easily Captainsim's best add on Captainsim 727: Pretty good but you need to get the user FDE update from their forums. Flight1/Coolsky DC-9: I know it's a shorthauler but the VC and FDE are superb. Flightsimlabs Concorde X: Well because it's Concorde it also has an INS system out of the box and a Virtual FE who is a tremendous help managing the systems. Beware it's NOT a set and forget aircraft and it has a very steep learning curve. Mine has been stored in the hanger for a while because I simply don't have time to fly it. But I did do two atlantic crossings with my quickest being EGLL > KJFK in 03:17.

I remember he told me I did a good job once. I just about fell off my chair!

Well I just shocked myself the other day by tallying up my simmarket purchases. Between December 2011 (my flightsim comeback) and now I came up with something like 2160 EUR and that's not counting all my ORBX stuff from flightsimstore which is easily another 400+ AUD. Also everything PMDG has for FSX excl. the 747 Expansion packs so that's another good 250-300 USD. Usually I try to limit myself to around 50-60 AUD per week but doesn't always happen that way. And to top it all off I sim from a laptop...

And I just bought KORS just the night before :mellow: Oh well now I'll head back for another CC battering Coffs Harbour, Essendon, Warnervale, West Yellowstone, England, Scotland here I come with with my Cherokee *EDIT* Just had a look at the PNW airfields and I'm a bit overwhelmed by choice. I already have Diamond Point (2WA1), Orcas Island (KORS), Fall City (1WA6) and Darrington (1S2) what others can anyone recommend?

Like Olli said as default FSX has it that both parallel's are active for both arrivals and departures. So in your case in FSX you could use either 15L or 15R. I haven't used default ATC in a while but I believe it assigns you one runway but there is an option to request the other parallel runway. Same with the arrivals. IRL with parallel runways it varies airport to airport. For instance at EGLL I think they assign one runway for departures and the other for arrivals switching at some point in the day. At YSSY both are used for arrivals and departures and are assigned depending on aircraft size and destination. At KLAX with each pair of parallel runways the inner is used for departures (I think) and the outter used for arrivals. also depending on spacing and winds it's possible to use runways with traffic in opposite direction ie Departures on 15L and arrivals on 33L. As I usually fly sans ATC in FSX usually with parallel runways if sufficient legnth I'll use the longer one for departing and arriving on the shorter runway. If they're both equal legnth it usually comes down to what ever closer to the stand I'm using.

My usual 737 in the shop at the moment but here's a blast from the past Untitled by vhqpa88, on Flickr Untitled by vhqpa88, on Flickr

I own quite a few Carenado's including all 3 Bonanza's and IMHO the F33A and V35B with updated FDE are their best aircraft. The F33A has the AP controls on the lower left side and the V35B on the lower right side of the panel. If you're planning on using autopilot regularly the F33A may suit you better. The RXP GNS430W and Flightline T gauges will enhance the experience The A36 is ok but to be honest the aspen avionics ruin it for me.

Keeping up with the Qantas theme allow me to share my latest trip QFA723 YPAD (Adelaide) - YBAS (Alice Springs) on Victor Yankee Echo appropriately named "Alice Springs".

at the moment mostly flytampa YSSY I bought the recently updated AUscene scenery hoping it would at least be up to the standard of YPAD (which isn't too bad) but was pretty disappointed. Apart from that I'm also looking forward to FSDG's YAYE. Another airport I want done but isn't in development as far as I'm aware is KMSY

I had a fairly decent tailwind averaging around 80-90 kts. The flight time worked out to 5:18 I think. The funny thing was ASN kept on dropping out every 15 minutes or so. I couldn't work out why so I just kept on rechecking the force to sim time box. Then at 4:20 into the flight the ASN dialog box came up but this this time it locked the sim up (thank god for FSUIPC Autosave!). So I rebooted FSX with FSGRW instead as I went to check to Zulu date/time to set up I realised I set the date as set 24 hours into the future! no wonder why ASN was upset. Although I'm curious how it worked out the winds. Anyways here's the landing shots in TNCM. Unfortunately I wasn't planning on recording the landing but It turned out to be one of my better ones so I had to rely on the instant reply so please exuse the doors and GSE hanging in the air. I would register fraps but I've already blown my weekly addon budget by $120 so it'll have to wait until wednesday.

Wait for the A2A Cherokee I believe it's a PA28-180. It will blow you away. I bought their Cessna 172R about a month ago. Initially I held off because I found the high winged Cessna's somewhat boring and too generic. But since I got it I haven't flown any other GA since! well apart from taking Heidi up for joyrides in the Cub of course. I'm already calling it for best Addon of 2014 http://a2asimulations.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=107&t=39985

Right now I'm at FL370 somewhere over the Bahamas on a KMIA-TNCM run.
