American Airlines Virtual

Hi Guys, I've been doing some research recently into the AA operated charter flights to Cuba and thought I would share them with everyone in case anyone else wanted to try them, but then I realised we don't really have anywhere to put that kind of thing in the forum except for "General". T...

Hi Guys, Couldn't see this posted anywhere else, apologies if it is. For our DFW residents, this weekend, Saturday 22nd June, is the American Airlines Museum 20th Anniversary Family Fun Day. Buzz Aldrin will be there for a book signing, plus other events. Full details here: http://crsmithmuseum.org/...

Well here she is boys and girls, the aircraft we have been waiting for...the new B77W rolled-out in the new scheme. https://fbcdn-sphotos-f-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/388610_10151218347136078_824426908_n.jpg https://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/388713_10151218347086078_47764756...

It is grey. All the next gen aircraft are made of plastic, so have to be painted, hence the move away from polished metal
now.

I wasn't sure about the new livery at first, just from the images in the launch, but I must say that it looks great on the real aircraft. I'm also delighted to see they have kept a bit of the eagle in the logo.

Hi guys,

Just over an hour to go until the unveiling of the new-look AA.

Exciting stuff!

Hi Guys, I'm not sure if this interests anyone here, but certainly this side of real world airline operations really fascinates me. As many of you US residents will probably know, yesterday evening a huge line of thunderstorms developed from western Texas, stretching all the way across Kansas, easte...

Nice pics Mike!

It is a combination of FS Global, Ultimate Terrain X and Ground Environment X, all put together.

Thanks Sergio!

I have been thinking about buying the 175/195 addon for a while and I just saw your message today so have saved myself quite a bit of money. Just in time!

Hi Guys, After many years of stubbornly holding off and sticking with FS9, I have recently made the switch to FSX for the first time. This timing fit nicely with my move from the ERJ fleet to the MD80 Maddogs. After spending my first couple of trips out of DFW on shorter routes, learning the intrica...

Thanks guys, I have been waiting until I was ready to move on to the Maddog before completing the checkride. I have just about a dozen places left to go and then I will have been to all 148 ERJ destinations on the network. I shall complete those over the next couple of weeks and settle into the MD i...

Thanks very much Harold. Unfortunately it was just a normal work day for me. It's nice to get warm wishes from AAV because I unfortunately didn't get any from either of the real AA crews I spoke to (the 71 and 159), they were just their usual grumpy selves!

One step closer to 30

How do these guys at Quantas do this day in/day out? Qantas have 6 B747-400 ER s, the only 6 passenger ERs in the world, and they have a slightly longer ranger than a regular -400. On an ultra long-range flight like this, they will use a reclearance-in-flight procedure, whereby the flight will be d...
