SunAir Express Virtual Airlines Forum

Brian,

Direct or DCT is used to indicate that a route segment is flown not on an airway, but direct between two route points.

Chris is our expert in this regard. I'm sure he'll jump in and clarify if needed.

Just like Dave said, there's something on the STL hub forum. One good idea would be to list some per airport. You are more than welcome to build a list of the gates for all our destinations. If you feel like it, start small. Perhaps just do a hub or all the destinations from a hub. We can add that l...

Pausing the game!!!!!!!! What game?

Brian, Good question. Thought we had posted this one before, but I can't find it. Here's one way, but not the only way. Assume the airline standard is 180lbs/84.6kg body weight, and 45lbs/20.4kg for luggage per each passenger. Compute the passenger weight and distribute in the passenger compartment(...

Congratulations Jim. Enjoy flying in Europe. dv

Sounds like something is overheating. Good luck with the replacement. dv

Congrats Ken.

Muy bien Juanjo. Congratulations.

Dave Vega

Congratulations Neil. I see you've been flying a lot lately. I'm sure you have way more than 500hrs overall since I think I remember you from the early days of ATP/AS2. Good to have you with SAX.

The good news on your part is that they'll be developing the NG for FSX. Your flightdeck is going to get a lot of use.

If you haven't noticed, SunAir Express pilots have flown more hours so far this year than the entire last year.

Way to go SAX! :!::!::!::!:

Fellow Captains, We may have an upcoming group flight based on a popular video showing an Air New Zealand B737-200 flight. Though you could fly any of our other 737s (737-400, -700), you may want to fly this old thing. She still flyes great. Here some pics for you. At the end, there's a link for you...

Dave Blake and I used an early free beta of this product. It worked ok. At times we couldn't get it to work, but the times we could it was fun.

Johnny,

I've emailed you the appropiate files for the PMDG B737-700 with winglets. If you do not have the PMDG, let me know, and I'll mail you the files for the standard model we have for download in our library.

Enjoy,

Dave Vega

Congratulations Jim. Hope you enjoy the Bus.

Hi Dave ... Take Delta - they fly 777s from Atlanta to Tokyo - longest of long hauls ... The seat of my pants hurts just thinking about this flight. :shock: Another way to add would be to introduce the T7 is to use it for existing destinations replacing an equivalent heavy iron. Not hubs have to ha...

Congratulations Juanjo. Get ready for very long flights.

Here are some other tools that helps calculate fuel load for: MD83 http://webx.simpilot.net:8080/cgi-bin/WebX?14@878.K2CkaxLQil5.5@.3c80a551 A320 http://webx.simpilot.net:8080/cgi-bin/WebX?14@878.K2CkaxLQil5.5@.3c7fbebc Use with care. If you know of any other tools that are publicly available, pleas...

Congratulations Johnny. I am sure you enjoyed every hour of flight. How about 500 more?

This tip will lets you create an FS9 Flight Plan file automatically. You'll only need departure, destination, and route of flight. For SAX flights, you can get the suggested route of flight from the flight plan form. The rest is done by going here http://www.fsroute.com/ . For example, for flight 30...

Nate,

At landing time, at a minimum, you need to have enough fuel to fly for 45 more minutes, if during the day, or 60 minutes if at night. Include this figure in your initial fuel computation for the trip.

Like most of you I loved subLOGIC's ATP. Wish I had a dollar for every hour I spent flying those airplanes. Some years ago I decided to make a flt sim livery commemorating subLOGIC's ATP. Though I can't remember exactly, believe this was for FS2002. Anyway, take a look here: http://www.vegaport.com/...

What a great idea Lyle! Thank you.

For those of you flying the non-PMDG 737-700, there's a new model coming from Project Open Sky that promises to be better than what we have now. Project Open Sky makes good quality freeware models. We're using their B767-300 for our freeware offering. See the first posting picture here: http://forum...
