Re: 20 Year Anniversary Fly-in / 20May2012 / 3:00PM EDT

Yes! Cheated death again :D Awsesome weather, great flight. I didn't do a fly-by so I just extended my downwind a little more than usual which worked out really good for me. Plus I slowed her down WAY OUT before even getting to the pattern. Thanks everyone! SAX272 arrives KTPA.jpg SAX702 arrives KTP...

Re: 20 Year Anniversary Fly-in / 20May2012 / 3:00PM EDT

I know, no texting while flying, but since this a once in a lifetime event I couldn't help it. Captains perogative :wink: Anyway, I see that three of us are at least airborne and heading to KTPA. Heck of a tailwind may cause me to be about 20 minutes early. Might have to do a flyby before landing 8)...

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

I've stayed with FS-9 and just about every add-on scenery I could get my hands on. All of my PCs are 8 years old or older. I won't bore you with their ancient technology. :wink: I use Project Magenta software to run my cockpit and FS-9 for the scenery. All six PC's are networked together and online ...

Re: Time to Talk Acceleration?

Maybe we should come up with a "Pilot Proficiency" rating. I know we all get ranking based on hours but that can be falsely gained by the acceleration modes. I'm thinking it would be nice to have a Pilot Proficiency rating based on the following factors: Use of Real Time Landing fpm rate O...

Re: Preflight Time Poll

I do pretty much the same as everyone else with the added time of bringing 5 PC's online and making sure they are all talking and doing the jobs I set them up to do. I also have the video system to bring online as well. Takes about an extra 15 minutes to bring the cockpit to life.

MegaCity USA 2005 - Atlanta

I bought a couple of add-on sceneries this past couple of months from PCAviator and for some reason they sent me an extra copy of MegaCity USA 2005 - Atlanta, http://www.megascenery.com/megacityatlanta.htm , so if anyone wants this FREE copy let me know. It is only for FS2004. First come first served.

I don't care either mostly because I have built a B737 home cockpit that doesn't look or fly much like a MD83. I have flown it in the past and really enjoyed it. I heard that Alaska Airlines is getting rid of theirs to keep pilots more current in one platform rather than multiple ones.
