Re: New Commander Flying From KPHX

David,
Welcome to the Elite, secret society of the AAV Commanders. This rank has several perks over the other ranks, and they are so secret I haven't found them yet. Best thing is, it is the last promotion check flight. You still have a few endorsements to handle though.
Congratulations !!

This is the format I used for the hundreds of GFI flights I have still on file, although the charts and routing will be out of date. ********...

Re: GFI

Making a GFI is a no brainer, sort of. One makes a flight plan within the criteria, sets a date and time for the GFI and post it on the forum for all to see as an announcement. If one makes the flight announcement then that person better show up and lead the pack. Give enough lead time for those slo...

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! Old Timers ? You mean the more experienced pilots at AAV.

Re: fs acars keeps on crashing or asking if I am at departure airport

This is because you do not have FSUIPC or XPUIPC installed. Look at the welcome letter I sent to you. Also make sure you install the program and start it with Admin rights. Only start the program after your sim starts and you are at the gate ready for pushback, otherwise it will give you the error m...

Re: My new FS Controls !!

Thanks for posting Scott and welcome to our VA. It took quite awhile to get the assignments for MSFS with the Honey Comb, but have it dialed in. One has to make different cfg's in the progam for what you fly; 2engine prop; 4 engine prop; 2 engine jet; 4 engine jet; PMDG jet; etc. Just change the lev...
