So, your wheels just touched down with a gentle screech, there was no jolt, and the passengers are wondering when is the airplane going to touchdown. :D Now what :?: Hopefully you remember to arm the autobrakes and/or spoilers (if your jet requires it) so while your jet decelerates, you kick in thos...

Johnny,

It was good hearing your voice for the first time on Teamspeak. For information about suggested panels for our airplanes, look in the FS Add-ons forum for Aircraft Parts! Where?

Interested in seeing your flight on Google Earth. Check here:

So, we've intercepted the localizer, are at 180kts, with the first set of flaps deployed. Continue the approach. Watch for the glideslope indicator to start moving. I'm assuming you're intercepting the glideslope from below. As the glideslope indicator moves down, slow down to 170 in a smooth motion...

Looking through some of your FSACARs flight reports, I notice that some of our pilots are having a difficult time landing smoothly. Clearly some of you have turned off crash detection, because with some of the descent rates I've seen would have certainly resulted in a crash. What constitutes a smoot...

Congratulations! You're the only person I know that has done this. Happy Birthday.

How many times you want us to do this?

Thank you Johnny. This is indeed another good choice. Believe this one requires a registered copy of FSUIPC.

For those of you that do not have an airplane equipped with a flight management computer, fret no more. The people at SimpleFMC are releasing a simple to operate flight management computer that works. The price? FREE! Feel up to the challenge? Get it here: http://simplefmc.sourceforge.net/ .

For those of you that use Active Sky 6, there's a new service update with fixes and enhancements. Get it at http://sales.hifisim.com/ASv6/downloads.htm.

Fellow Captains, With more Beech 1900D (B190) flights available, more of you are taking to the skies with this great airplane. Unfortunately we don't have a manual for any of our aircraft, but there are some resources available for you on the Internet. For the B190, start at West Winds Virtual Airli...

Good Al. I'm sure you'll have plenty of portable simming power with that laptop.

Dave Vega

Thank you for the article. It is also good to see that SunAir Express is still goign strong after all these years, and getting better. Thank you again.

Dave Vega

Way to go, congratulations Lyle.

Ever wonder why we see different route formats? No? I bet you're wondering now. A route is that part of a flight plan that states "the way" to get to your destination. The basic route consist of waypoints along an imaginary path. These waypoints could be navigational beacons such as VORs o...

Please join me in congratulating SunAir Express' newest Command Captain, Dave Blake. He just completed his 1000hr flight. Due to this tremendous accomplishment, his good moral character, and the fact that he doesn't drink while he flies, SunAir Express is priviledged to announce his promotion to Com...

What if you do not have an airplane equipped with a flight management computer? :( Remember the old subLOGIC ATP days? This is when a proper flight plan becomes handy. Having wind direction, wind speed, course, and true air speed allows you to estimate ground speed for each segment of your flight (s...

One of the bragging rights of any airline is its on time performance rating. They use this figure to try to convince you they can take you there "on time." If you like to see how the real airlines rate, check out http://www.transtats.bts.gov/OT_Delay/OT_DelayCause1.asp . But, what about Su...

Amazing shots indeed. I'm glad I bought Active Sky, again. I have an older version I used with FS2000 and 2002, but this latest one is phenomenal. Thanks for the shots. dv

Like with the B737, there are several tools available to help automate computing how much fuel would be necessary for a B767 flight. SunAir Expess is virtually using the B767-300ER model. ATP's ficticious subLOGIC airline was using the B767-200. Believe we may still have some of those old one for FS...

For those of you who would like to not only hear voices in your flight decks but to have a virtual copilot that responds to your commands, suggest checking Flight Assistant. From the product description: Flight Assistant is a program that provides a virtual co-pilot for flight simulation enthusiasts...

subLOGIC ATP includes a B767-200, specifically the model for the fictitious subLOGIC airline was a B767-250. For FS9, we're using the B767-300ER with P&W4060 engines. You can find a good sound set at http://www.avsim.com . Check for file: final_pw_767_soundset.zip . How about a voice set? Check ...

One thing I forgot to mention on the 737-700. For those of you that like the challenge of an ultrarealistic panel, and don't mind paying for it more than what you paid for the simulator itself, there's the Precision Manuals Design Group 737 Next Generation (The NG designation is given to the 737-600...

Remember when we had those aircraft packages that combined the airplane, the panel, and the sounds, each from a different developer? It was nice, but we couldn't keep adding them to our library, because space is limited (the sound files alone took many MBs). Now all our library aircraft come with de...

Excellent Chris. Congratulations!
