I also voted "don't care" and like Neil, I'm waiting for AS3; like the play, "Waiting for Godoh." If we retire the MD83, we could always bring it back on another market, like Canada or South America. Isn't it the fashion now to retire and return to the game within a couple of yea...

Congratulations Dave. I'm sure you enjoy flying those long flights.

Rich,

Can you see your winglets variation now?

Rich wrote:I just purchased PMDG 737 NG. I've seen previous questions regarding the winglets on this aircraft.

How do I activate the winglets on this version?

Thanks,

Congrats Bob.

Congratulations Dave! The B767 is one of my favorite airplanes. Enjoy the long and short flights.

Congratulations Anton. Enjoy flying by wire.

I hear that after 2000 hours they start paying you for real.

Congratulations Roy, that's some achievement.

Dave Vega

Congratulations Jim. Enjoy those long flights.

Dave Vega, SAX702

Thank you guys. Hope the next 1000 are as much fun as the first.

I've been using AISmooth. This free program will monitor AI traffic around your airport and avoid multiple planes arriving at the same time, simulating traffic separation by sending planes into holding patterns. I haven't been told to go around or had to wait for any AI aircraft since I started usin...

Congrats Nate. Fly by wire time.

Love the framerates on the left. dv

Virtual Airline Pioneer Marty Becker makes the first flight on SunAir Express' new elite division "Jim." The Flight was 6011, from Chicago's O'Hare to Zurich, Switzerland. The flight took off uneventfully at 5:30pm local time. Captain Becker climbed with his new B737-800 BBJ2 to 37,000 to ...

It is exactly as Dave said. Nate, you could use FsRoute and export the route to PMDG. You'll see how the lat long are entered. You can also check the PMDG manual. It's in there. dv

Dave,

You could get the Level-D Operations Manual. It's available for free here:

Marty,

Great video. Best I've seen in a while.

Thanks,

Dave Vega

Ah, the famous photo. I know you had mentioned this photo several times. Glad to finally see it.

It's great that we have you back with SunAir.

Excellent tutorial Dave! One thing I do is have the spoilers armed on approach as well as the autobrakes. Then on touchdown I bring on the reverse thrust till 80 knots as you stated and I let the auto brakes keep doing their job till 60 knots at which time I start manual braking. This will help kee...

I understand that if one flies close enough to the water, a shark may jump up and take a bite.

To show their appreciation for their present and potential customers, Aerosoft is offering free scenery for Frankfurt-Hahn (EDFH) airport. This is part of their commercially available German Airports scenery. You can get it here: http://www.germanairports.net/temp/1110/German-Airports-Hahn-Free.zip ...

Correct. But also because you would be arriving perhaps outside of your designated arrival time. In other words, ATC is expecting you to arrive within a window of time. This window of time is given to the flight before departure. This is a way for ATC to control traffic flow. Again, not my area of e...

I think you'll get a variety of responses, from those that sit in front of the monitor for the entire duration without blinking to those that will get up and do other things while the flight takes place. I sometimes will depart before going to bed, fly for a while, and go to bed, get up the next day...

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.
