I have developed an rudimentary Chrome Extension capable of updating our Pilot Data page and adding the SimBrief prefill links into this page, as it is loaded, so the Current Bid looks something like this, the word "PREFILL" being a valid link to SimBrief Current Bid: COMPLETED KDFW-KASE C...

Yes, it looks like the simbrief url and arguments are "official" way to assist with pre-filling the plan...

There are many more arguments to this url, I used only the ones we have in our bid...

This is the simbrief document:

At our 'Pilot Data' page (for example, https://aavirtual.com/pages.php?name=Pilot_Data&pilot_id=1797), under the 'Current Bid' chapter... It may be beneficial to place the link to automated Simbrief dispatch, containing the flight detail, next to each non-completed flight... For example flight: ...

When requesting Resources->'Generate Random FREQ', with all default values, the resulting page has number of error messages at the top, see below. The resulting FREQ is very much correct though, so this is only of cosmetic nature. For this url: https://aavirtual.com/pages.php?s=&name=Auto_FREQ&a...

Regarding the MSFS2020 I can recommend it fully, together with freeware Flybywire A320Neo (Dev version). However, and it happened today, thus the post, beware of the ditch across KDFW 36R. It appeared today at my last leg , just as I touched down, across the entire runway. Nice, deep, well-defined d...

Yeah, no flight numbers, I figured that out after the post, that makes it not really useful, maybe just for visual cues, and then digging for exact flight numbers... Also tiny I agree...

During many years since last post here, it seems like the real AA caught up with the virtual enthusiasts here, and made their own destination map at: http://aa.fltmaps.com/en

Very nice theme flight, thanks much for organizing! I managed to snap only couple of photos, first one high above Malaga, with sun setting, and the other one couple of minutes later, with the Gibraltar at the right... I was not alone landing at GMMN, two Royal Air Maroc vatsim flights were also ther...

Thanks much Michael. There is one more potential ambiguity, this time regarding the Charter flights, same chapters:

Chapter 4 says: "You may fly a total of four (4) "Charter Flights" per month. "

whereas Chapter 8.1 table claims: "4 per bid"

Thanks

The chapter 4 of our Handbook at http://www.aavirtual.com/handbook.php states the: ``` AAV also provides One World and code share flights for our pilots subject to the following restrictions: 1. Pilots ranked Captain and below may fly any code share flight which departs and lands within the United S...

Just wanted to share my experience... If you ever get (temporary) away from your good faithful gaming pc... there is a solution, temporary, but functional... There are quite a few cloud providers offering cloud/online gaming solutions (with preinstalled games), but not so much when it comes to offer...

I too fly xplane but on Linux, at least until recently. Due to Linux, was forced to do manual freps, and while somewhat cumbersome, i kind of got used to it, i guess it somehow breaks the overautomated evnironments we all live/work/play in or adds the almost human bureaucratic element to it... Or so...

Thanks all for the feedback on new (old) MSFS. I did not pulled the trigger (yet) and have been following this guy https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZ_X7kk3XrHbl6ZWQ4wpfkQ on youtube. Real B738 pilot, flies XPlane Zibo B738 usually, emphasis on full legs, vatsim, atc, checklists, procedures and real...

Thanks Michael for maintaining and upgrading this site! Regarding the equipment, I was not able to pull down my new shiny carbon fancy A350-900 from the equipment menu at 'submit frep'. Not sure this is due to real-life fact(?) none of share-code partners are flying it, or it is just missing. At any...
