@westjet759 I am sorry to read that you have had this issue.

I can see that you have also emailed us directly - please see our reply to your email for other options and private information concerning your license.

Hi HighBypass: Good scores! And yes, the History of Flight Simulators is a tough one as most of us don't need to remember all those dates. 🙂 Hi Luis: Well done! I'm with you on my own knowledge of the FS History quiz - for me some are easy - many are wild guesses! 😀

Hi Folks: If you are at home and want to have a little fun - we have made some free flight simulation and aviation quizzes - we hope you enjoy them! History of Flight Simulators Quiz Aviation Quiz Take care! FSFlyingSchool Team

@Robkr1208 Hi Robkr1208! Whoa - many thanks for taking the time to look at FSFlyingSchool PRO 2018 for P3Dv4 and for making such a splendid movie for us all to watch! I think I can help increase your fun with good old Mr Smith the instructor if I mention that the reason he kept going on about "taking off" and "steering" and "not braking" was that you were in take off mode (one of FSFlyingSchool's four 'Flight Modes') and if you decide you are not taking off you simply need to let the chap know by pressing the command keys to revert the flight mode back to 'taxi'. At that point he will of course stop talking about taking off. Another point is that skilled pilots like yourself will want to turn off the feature which automatically detects if you are in 'cruise' or 'landing' mode; you will want to control that yourself for greater precision. Once again - many thanks - it is always a treat to get surprised by such a movie appearing online and terrific fun to see folks having a jolly time with FSFlyingSchool. Have a great week of flights!

Hi JT: FS Instant Approach PRO 2015 is the latest version. It is $9.95. Be sure to visit our web site and check out all the new additions to our new FSFlyingSchool Pro 2018 - contains all of FS Instant Approach PRO 2015 and is packed with loads of new features - including - Taxiway Tutor, Weather Tutor, GPS Tutor and Autopilot Tutor. FSFlyingSchool PRO 2018's features are described here... http://www.fsflyingschool.com/features-of-fsflyingschool-pro-2018.asp FSFlyingSchool was first released in 2006 and has since won 5 PC Pilot Magazine Classic Product Awards. You can fly any powered airplane in FSX - and payware add-ons. Some add-ons have programming which is markedly different to FSX programming and these (very few) may produce unwanted results, so we recommend that you download the free demo to try FSFlyingSchool with your favourite planes to be sure it performs exactly as you would wish before making a purchase. The demo has no time limit - try for as long as you want. As you can see FSFlyingSchool gives instruction in any powered airplane, but gives specific detailed instruction in 16, of which one is the 757, either from Quality Wings or Just Flight.

Hi Massimo: It will be great to hear of the plugin for Prepar3D version 4 using FSUIPC version 5. You can also use the free demo of FSFlyingSchool PRO 2017 for P3Dv4 for as long as you like. It provides vertical speed at touchdown and plenty more to think about... :-) Available here... http://www.fsflyingschool.com/demo-p36.asp

This sounds like a useful and fun feature! Always good to be practicing for a soft landing. More good news - don't forget that there's also a free demo version of FSFlyingSchool 2017 in versions for FSX, FS2004, P3D and X-Plane 11 and 10 - and they will all provide vertical speed at touchdown and plenty more to think about... :-) Yes - it's a separate application that runs at the same time as your sim. Free demo - no time limit - use it for as long as you like. Works with FREE version of FSUIPC or of XPUIPC (for X-Plane).

If you have not yet tried this fun, educational new add-on for FSX and FS2004 you can download a demo for free from http://www.FSInventions.com FS Instant Help adds a whole new level of fun and learning to your flights with Flight Simulator. You hear and see help and tips for controls, instruments and switches immediately while you are flying! Do you ever think you could use some help up there in the Simulated Skies? FS Instant Help is ready to help you get familiar with those switches, dials, buttons etc that seem to fill the cockpit and flight deck. Sit back and enjoy as you hear the voice of a friendly instructor who explains the role of the device you operated, immediately, in real time, with optional text captions so you can read the advice too. Once you operate a device, you won't hear the explanation again for a while: this is to avoid repetition when, for example, turning a device on and off. If you prefer, you can turn off the voice completely and just retain the text captions for reference during your flights. Alternatively, you can turn off the captions and just listen to the voice of the instructor. Configure FS Instant Help the way you want it! What's more, we realize that sometimes things get a little tricky up there and this is where FS Instant Help can help you get things back under control. In addition to explaining the role of switches etc, your talking instructor will let you know if something serious has happened, or will happen... and give you tips on what to do. FS Instant Help might just save that aircraft! Plus - the route of every flight you make can be saved permanently for viewing and sharing with Google Maps! Why not give it a try today? View Video

Hi Robert: Perhaps someone will reply who flies the plane you are after - I hope they do. As to the program's function, it will put you on a straight in approach at the distance you select. It does not do STAR approaches. Hi James: Thanks for helping Robert! As you mentioned it - the demo is unrestricted (no time limit - all functions work) except that: - You can only fly approaches to KORD (Chicago) and KGRB (Green Bay) - You cannot submit flight path maps to the web site for viewing with Google Earth
