Re: How to Create a Flight Plan File for MS Flight Sim

I was looking for a substitute for FS Navigator to use in FSX and came across a free program called Plan-G (http://www.tasoftware.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=2205.0) and was interested in knowing if anyone had tried it. My one big knock on FSX is it doesn' t work with FS Navigator Al Sax067

Re: Poll: What Is Your Primary Flight Sim for SAX Flights?

I have both FSX and FS9. I use FS9 for Sunair flights mainly because I have the PMDG 737 for it and also FS Navigator neither of which work in FSX. I use FS Navigator for doing flight plans and haven't found a substitute for it in FSX I have no issues with running FSX on my current computer other th...

Active Sky and windows 7

I cannot install Active Sky 6.5 on my computer running windows 7 home premium. The installation seems to be conflicting with a frame work program. Any ideas will be appreciated.

Re: POLL: FSFK Score and Critique

Possibly competition is in the eyes of the the individual. I personally like FSFK for all of the info that it gives on flights by both myself and others,that way I get some ideas on how to be a better sim pilot, and thus enjoy flightsiming more. The touchdown rate may have a bit of competition tied ...

Re: Poll: Accelerated Time Mode Usage

I usually only fly the 2 hour and under flights because 2x and up is discouraged by sunair, and to simulate a long boring flight would not be enjoyable for me. I don't see the difference between putting the sim in autopilot for 4 hours and going to bed and putting the computer in 4x mode and standin...

Dave; I do pretty much the same pre flight routine except I spend very little time on passenger and cargo loading placement. Not to sure exactly how to figure weight and balance on a 737 or even how important it is as long as you don't overload. I know that in the days of prop planes it was crucial ...
