A father and daughter walked away from a successful CAPS (Cirrus Airframe Parachute System) deployment. According to the pilot, the engine lost power on approach to Republic Airport. He pulled the CAPS handle, and the aircraft floated down in front of an industrial park. It's the 63rd successful CAP...

I have not flown # 5001 but I see the POC has record of 3 other pilots completing the flight going back to 2014. Maybe one of these pilots will comment on the flight.

Video shows what's happening when a wing stalls.

The Bally Bomber has been one mans undertaking for over a decade. It is the only 1/3 scale B-17G out there. And no, it's not an R/C. This plane will be flown by an actual pilot.

I found that the Nvidia video driver v361.75 dated 27Jan2016 is safe to use with FSX.

Almost like a work of art.

The slowdown in 747 production doesn’t mean the original jumbo jet will disappear from our skies just yet. Read more:

Dave, Thanks for the feedback. I am set up exactly as you have indicated and just flew another flight attempt taking off from KATL 26L and then attempting an ILS landing on 26R. I set an intercept heading to the runway and the localizer is captured and held. The altitude is stable as is the speed a...

There is currently only the default style installed called "Prosilver". But we are open to install other styles compatible with phpBB v3.1.x. Post your suggestions here.

The Q400 looks like it could be a good addition. However, I have downloaded and installed the freeware Q400 and have yet to have it capture a glide slope. I thought perhaps I did not install correctly, but downloaded and installed again with the same results. The default prop planes that come with ...

I was turning to line up properly and as I was tuning, the FSX Stopped and that was that. Today I have replaced and old keyboard and got a new mouse which came with the keyboard. My last...

Some nifty rudder action there.

Here is an article about an Q400 operator airline, and here is another about the Q400 itself. Note that in the 2nd article, the Q400 is offered as a more economical alternative to regional jets on flights between 400-450 nautical miles. It seems that the markets for the B190 and the Q400 aren't nec...

I had this issue when I updated my Nvidia driver to the latest driver last weekend. When I started FSX as soon as I got the Free Flight menu my computer would freeze completely. I did a video driver roll-back to the previous driver and that solved the issue.

Are you using Full-screen mode or Windows mode with FSX? FSX used to CTD sometimes for me when I used Full-screen mode. I have better luck using Windows mode.

What do you use now as your primary flight sim for your SAX flights? This poll will run for 30 days and you may change your vote if needed. I run this poll about once a year to see which flight sim the SAX pilots are using now for their flights. The last poll ending February 2015 found that FSX was ...
