American Airlines Virtual

On the near anniversary of this flight that amazed us all, we gathered at LGA to recreate (and hopefully complete) this flight. Gathered (or joining somewhere in the flight) were John Moore (AAV280), Rick Stevens (AAV407), Bert Rivera (AAV476), Ted MArtin (AAV537), me (AAV580), Michael Mueller (AAV624), Sergio Sanchez (AAV742), Joseph Crankshaw (AAV807), and Damien Seals (AAV965).

Below Bert and I are powering up at the gate.

This was my first attempt to fly the Aibus in my new Win7/FSX configuaration, and I had troubles with the throttles and brakes. Found out you cannot use FSUIPC to callibrate the throttles for the Airbuses. Anyway, I left later than everyone else and did not fly in Vatsim (used a little acceleration to catch up with everyone). Joined back into Vatsim when I pulled into the gate in front of John Moore.

I also had not loaded the extra FSInn VIP liveries from our download lib at this point. Here is the group pic B2T: Sergio, me, John, Rick, Michael, and Bert. Not sure what happened to everyone else.

For me the flight was aggravating though I now have all the aggravations resolved, and, from the comments, everyone else enjoyed the flight.

I didn't have my B1900 loaded for Bert, so I set him up in my HS-748 Bahama's Air colors. If you don't have this freeware a/c, get it at http://classicbritishfiles.com/index.ph ... y=2&page=8.

It works great in FS9 and FSX.
