    To Luke

    I understand what you mean.... the fact is that I mentally link the "Flying Club" to "GA" aircrafts only (tipically with a maximum aircraft allowed weight), probably because this is how FlyUK and many other VAs call this internal division inside the VA. Yes, GA aircrafts are allowed to fly everywhere, but only GA.

    What I am looking for is something that does not exist in the rw and has been created by many VAs to match the particular sim world when a pilot is focusing on online/ATC flights (where ATC in rw is almost always granted whilst  in the sim world it is not).

     

    To Ponchovilla

    It seems easy to file the pireps...I'll put it in my list ...thank you 🙂

    I fly with virtualunitedairlines.org. You can fly online or offline, current or vintage aircraft, and any Star Alliance member airline. You only need to fly one flight during a calendar month to stay current on the roster and can transfer up to a certain number (I forget how many at the moment) of VATSIM hours. Just another suggestion to investigate.

    That's OK...the only complication is that if you fly not a scheduled flight you need to submit manually the pirep with something that demonstrates that your did the flight. In this sens the KLM style (as described in my post) is automatic...very easy.

    Agree with MarkW. If you want "any aircraft/any route", you don't want a VA - you want a logbook or a flying club.

    Cheers!

    I only partially agree,

    You describe only one way (your way probably) to fly in a VA. That's fine...but after 4000+ hours I can definitively say that it's not the only one.

    I've been in 3 VAs since I fly in the sim...all the 3 are good VAs...all different. In particular I have been the Event Manager in one of the 3 (a big and great VA, probably one of the the best all over the world for the Community) and there are 3 ways to fly: to fly scheduled routes (commercial, freights, charter) ,  to fly GA, to fly events online: three different things.

    In particular, if you are focused in flying online and your goal is  to have the ATC at the departure and destination airports like, for example  an airbridge event or just looking at the map and seeing two well ATC covered airports, many times it is difficult to match the scheduled flights with the specific event/route. 

    For this reason, in order to allow pilots to book the flight and use the acars to track it, we had to set up a lot of specific events flights matching the events on Vatsim/IVAO (a lot of work).

    The third VA I joined is absolutely focues in flying online: you can fly any route/any aircraft but ONLY online: the tracking system is taken from IVAO/Vatsim directly and you do not need any acars for your logbook (and to forget to start 🙂 ). This VA (by the way is KLM, so not fictional) allows all the pilots to choose the airports/aircraft looking at the specific events and/or ATC covered airports.

    Moreover, I love the FSeconomy world and I like to fly the assignments that I choose where I see a an ATC  covered area. 

    So the question is: is more realistic to fly a scheduled route or to fly not a scheduled route but having to deal with a lot of controllers? I have no doubts, but this is only my way. One among the others.

    So, yes, I am looking for another  VA based in USA. The one based in Europe is KLM and FlyUK (that I use it mainly for GA now) and they are perfect for my needs.

    And,  by the way, there are many VAs with the "any route/any aircraft" rule  ...it's a matter to browse the web, ask to other pilots, read the SOP and decide.

    I'll recommend deltava.org and united-virtual.com. Both have code share and joint venture routes if you don't want to fly Delta or United exclusively and operate closely with Vatsim as well.

    United seems to require to fly the UA routes..I did not find the any aircraft /any route possibility.

    deltava.org if I remember does not show the SOP.

    there are two other Delta virtual that seem to meet what I am looking for...

    Thank you...I am still exploring.

    first report:

    American Airline: 2 VAs.

    VA1 stable since a long time...great...but they fly only the AAL routes...that's great for the VA simulation but not for those that like to fly online looking for ATC coverage (in my desire)

    VA2 quite new...unable to read the SOP so I am unable to evaulate it.

     

    DELTA: many VAs

     2 of them seems to meet my desire "any flight, any place", online.

     

    Many thanks...I'll continue my investigation 🙂

    Hello to all pilots,

    I'm flying 100% online on VATSIM/Pilotedge for 2 different VAs based in Europe (FlyUK and KLM).

    I'm looking for a good VA in USA to fly online: in my idea this means a stable VA since some years, that allows to fly any route (so that I can join the vatsim events and/or fly the assignments in FSeconomy).

    This is done by KLM in Europe: online flying only but FROM/TO that you prefer .

    Many thanks in advance for your suggestions,

    Stefano

    Good morning,

    I suppose Carenado is already aware of a lot of issues after the last (today for me) MSFS update.

    here is a short list of some of them (I am sure there are more):

    - Yoke cannot be hidden,

    - some buttons now do not work 

    - VOR drifts

    - CDT after 3 minutes from take off

     

    I hope you can update it soon...I am enjoying a lot this plane 🙂

    Thank you

    Stefano

    It's one of those things that isn't implemented or will never be, it should show up just below the VLOC but if you choose the nearest VOR you will see all VOR's even low ones that should be just 40km.

    If the list is updated real time it could be a workaround to get the DME information .

    I'll give a try.

    Thank you

    Good morning 

    It is not the first time and it is not only with the NGX but also with the  B747-8

    All is fine initially...I start to talk with my copilot, I am on the ground...when...suddendly...I cannot hear the copilot voice...I know he is there...If I reply I see the copilot receives...but I cannot hear his voice.

    I tried a RESET AUDIO SYSTEM...nothing

    I tried to change the OUTPUT...nothing.

    I am sure my mic is ok (I can talk to controllers)...and the copilot is listening

    The only way is to restart everything (P3D included)

    Any idea?

    I have been finally supported by MILVIZ.

    The best result is NAVSTAX (not listed in the MD530 list)

    2D panel for the radio stack (not in the VC)

    No ADF but VOR 1 and VOR 2 and DME working.

    Not the best...but at least the minimum to navigate.

    I have bought the MD530F and I like it

    BUT

    Does anyone know how to set the analogic instruments?

    I am having a long conversation in the MILVIZ support forum but till now nobody has been able to write how and if I can do it.

    They wrote that the NAVSTAX payware instrument work...I have tried to install them using the NAVSTAX tool..but I do not see any instrument in the VC and I am unable to activate them at least in the 2D view.

    I am little angry for this because the MILVIZ official page of the MD530F and the manual does not say anything about it.

    Additionally I found someone able to run the default radio nav but the ADF does not work (using the free radio option)

    To summarize: a non clear information by MILVIZ and a basic function of the basic instruments not working till now.

    May someone help me?

    I have (maybe) discovered that the ADF gauge in the Milviz 530 is only cosmetic!!!!

    I hope I am wrong, Milviz specifies in his MD530 manual that some accessories like the FLIR camera are only cosmetic, but does not says that an important navigational aid like di ADF is not working too!

    Also by choosing the free radio option and adding (in a way not described in the manual) you can add the standard FSX/P3D radio stack, the ADF will not work (I did not tried it but I have read a specific post in the Milviz official support forum.

    May you, pilots flying the MD530, comfirm it?

    In the DHC3 I have chosen the (payware) NavStax radio stack analogic , that I love.

    But in the MD530, not only I have not this option, not only I cannot read in any MILVIZ document how to add the standard analogic instruments, but now I have also discoverd that the ADF does not work.

    I can't believe such a (not informed) lack by my beloved MILVIZ

    Pease tell me I am wrong.

    Regards

    thank you..

    Manual read...nothing more than something general in the first 3 pages among 237...and nothing about my question.

    I will post in the support forum hopefully more polite than you...or with you more polite than here.... in the while, instead of being unnecessarily sarcastic.. you could use  your very few time to change the name of this forum strangely titled "The MILVIZ SUPPORT FORUM" in something more appropriate.

    And...if MILVIZ is not your surname, being so polite to sign your message.

    My regards.

    I have done  my first flight...very pleasant!

    Question: is it normal that I have to mantain the pilot twistgrip in the FULL open position since the engine start for all over the flight, if I decrease it also of a bit...the engine shut down?!

    I thought I could set it to idle on the ground before take off...and also to use it in combination with the collective during take off and cruise.

    I am new to this Heli

    I have two questions:

    1. I have set cold and dark in the milvitz setup panel and saved. but when I load it it has the engine running. I tried many times restarting the sim, chosing the exact livery...but no way..the engine is  running.

    2. is there a way to have the standard analogic radio/nav or  set with the analogic payware radio/nav like in my Milvitz DHC3?

    Thank you
