Group Fly In Gets off the Ground

There has been some discussion among management about how much fun the Group Fly In (GFI)'s were in the past. If there is enough interest, we would like to fire them up again. I have created a very short survey open to all AAV pilots to determine if there is interest and what time/day you would be m...

Re: GFI

I can get us there with XP and VATsim. Like most things, once you understand how it works, the manual makes a lot of sense. How do we get the newer folks engaged? Make it appealing to them? Communicate with them, make them aware? I am also familiar with TeamSpeak. XP does have integrated real world ...

Re: GFI

Why can't we start the GFI's up again ?

I am game for organizing, with input from the old timers on what worked and what did not.

Cheers!

Sr. Captain Around the World Tour for John Donahue

Greetings, A time honored tradition for a new Sr Captain is the around the world tour. Not only visiting new places and extra form fitting your pilots chair, it gives one many hours on your next stop to Commander. Everyone is invited to add to the list. Keep John going West until he comes back home....

BOEING 787 FOR X-PLANE 11

I am getting ready to work on the modern heavy endorsement and looking for a really good quality 787. There are a lot of aircraft out there that just get the job done, but for one reason or another don't work for me. Is there a place on the forum that reviews both free-and pay- ware aircraft. If so,...

Re: MD-80 PAYWARE

Wayne,

XP does come with an MD-80 version but it is very buggy. There are also at least 2 freeware products that are a little better but again very unreliable. So, I seek something better.

Thanks!
