No, I don't know how to do that. While I do know how to create an FSNav database with FSNavDBC, I don't know if that's the way to include these points, or even how to do it. I can't add the file as I could add others.

Fellow Captains,

Here's a way to update FS9's waypoint database with the most current. Go to http://uk.geocities.com/fs9.airac@btinternet.com/ and follow the instructions.

Have fun.

It is indeed a very good utility. It allows you to turn off all the unnecessary background processes, run FS, and restores the processes to their original state. As with anything else, be careful. dv

Found no probs running it on vista, best aircraft i,ve flown but tons of stuff to read thru, got the basics tho & aint crashed it yet lol

Not crashing is always a good thing. Good to know that it runs well on your Vista setup.

Yes, I can run the PMDG 737NG on Windows Vista without any problems. This on FS9. The problems are when one tries to port it to FSX. It doesn't run under FSX.

... and Frank, when you get into the automated flight, you'll see the flight management computer even tells you the VREF or landing reference speed. That's what I use to land when I switch off the autopilot.

To all who organized and participated in this event, thank you. It really meant a lot. I'm now home for real, after one year in Iraq. Thank you also for all your prayers, they worked. My family thank you.

It's good to be home.

Excellent chilli, good beans, though I don't know why some were suggesting I stay overnight in St Louis instead of continuing to San Antonio right away.

Thank you Marty. Great flight. Enjoyed the German beer at Frankfurt.

Dave Vega

Frank,

A link on flying the PMDG B737-700 (http://www.fsstation.com/tutorials/boei ... 737ng.html), and the tutorial I used, best I've seen around, http://library.avsim.net/download.php?DLID=41285. Enjoy.

Frank, Welcome back. Still SunAir Express, still the hunger to learn more, still the quest for realism, now with a small dose of compromise for entertaining value. Interesting to know the quest for realistic fuel figures started the VA concept. I do clearly remember each flight presented the challen...

Congratulations Captain Blondeau.

Johnny, I'm assuming this happens with all sceneries, or when you're landing at any airport. Based on your comment, it is worse when landing at an airport with complex scenery. It could be that your hard drive is busy at the time when it needs to load scenery. This is only a guess. Perhaps the anti ...

Finally completed my first round the world, used Dave Blakes routes but went easterly, ksfo - kstl - katl - ktpa - tjsj - ebbr - wsss - yssy - ksfo, 22,378 miles in 50.8 hrs. Overall was ahead of schedule mainly due to last 2 legs.Best view was sunrise in oz, Sydney to Frisco was tough, nothin but ...

Congratulations Marty. Guess all those hours have paid off.

Just for fun, would you post the route?

Your good Dave! I am searching Flight Aware for routings. Good point. Though I couldn't find a route on Flight Aware, using FSBuild and today's NATs, I came up with this one: DENUT UL610 LAM CPT UL9 SHA UN542 BABAN UP618 RESNO TRAKG DOTTY N111B TOPPS J581 PUT J42 GVE J75 TAY.LZARD4 with a distance ...

163 flights have TPA as its destination; the selection is plenty. From a 30 minute flight to one over 10 hours.

I'm planning to fly in flight 101, STL-TPA, B767. I think I know you will be flying from BRU.

Dave Vega

If we do end up retiring the MD83, how about a retirement group flight? Where in Europe do airplanes that are retired go? We could have a group flight taking some of our MD83s there. What do you think?
