			<description>Hello Russ



Do you remember posting about the &quot;1-2-3 Rule&quot;



Remember the &quot;1-2-3 Rule&quot;



You will be required to list an alternate IF:



1 hour before to 1 hour after ETA the forecast ceiling is 2000 feet or lower (ceiling is defined as lowest layer reported as broken or overcast)



OR..



Forecast visibility is 3SM miles or less.





Does this mean that if the arrival airport is at these conditions we cannot land?

I usually check online for actual weather conditions  ...</description>

I did it...  took the plunge... Installing my new Windows 7 as we speak....  Next, I purchased FSX Gold a while ago and never installed it...  So...stage two...



Please think good karma or if you wish, please pray for me...  I may need it...



Crossing fingers.....  64 bit drivers, Saitek yokes and throttles, Lexicon Lambda Sound card, CH rudders, Go Flight modules.... drivers....  OMG... what have I done..



I will report back later OR you will read about me in the news...

			<dc:creator>drea</dc:creator>
			<description>Some of you may not know this. I have been using ActiveSky for years and I just stumbled upon it, recently.

When you import the Flight Plan and Process it, the wx and Nav Log opens. Go all the way to the bottom window, which is Titled &quot;NavLog and Waypoint Details&quot;. Scroll all the way to the bottom of the window and there it is.

&quot;Average Route Winds for your Cruise Level&quot;.

If all of you knew this, I'm sorry. But it was New for Me. Hope it helps someone.  

 

Regards,

Dick </description>

			<description>I don't mind taking a hit when I mess up on a flight, but

I got gigged for putting my flaps down and my gear at speeds higher than

recommended, or so VAFS said...my flight record doesn't indicate that

that is what happened...... I don't mind the giging, but at least let me be

guilty.....  Oh well, I had my say, I guess it just surprised me because

I try to follow the rules of flying seriously, I know it's just Sim, but humor me... </description>

			<description>I started a new flight this afternoon.  While I was climbing to cruise altitude, I suffered a rare (for me) FS9 crash and it restarted.  Autosave did its job and I selected the last saved position and continued the climb.  However, I could not get VAFS to reconnect to FS9 via FSUIPC.  As common as FS crashes are during flights, I can't imagine there isn't some functionality built in to reconnect, at least for a short period of time.  So what's the trick?  I only lost about 30 minutes of flight  ...</description>

Where (or how) do we determine the payload? As I recall the &quot;old&quot; MidCon releases indicated the payload along with the other information. I don't see any indication of it in the new release format. Am I missing something?

For example when looking at the KMCI-KBOS flight plan the first value for the ZFW is 132983 and the second is 134482. Any explaniations? Other than this the Flight Plans are great.</description>

Just an update on what's going on behind the scenes.  Work continues on prepping the &quot;predispatched&quot; releases (&quot;canned&quot; is such a sterile word.. ).  I have several completed, so if anyone is interested in &quot;test flying&quot; a couple let me know and I'll upload them to your release retrieval folder.

I have uploaded to your global folder (release retrieval folder) a personalized MCA badge graphic that you may use as your forum Avatar. You may use it as-is or there's room to add a photo. If anyone needs me to add a photo for them let me know. Here's a sample of what it will look like full size: 











I discovered last night that you don't need to resize it before uploading as your Avatar image, the board takes care of that automatically. 



Enjoy!

I've created crew bid lines from our flight schedule.  I know we're still in &quot;free flight&quot; mode right now but if there's an interest I could post the lines of flight for each fleet type to give you some sort of structured lines to select flights from.  Each fleet type will have several &quot;hard lines&quot; as well as a few reserve lines.

			<dc:creator>Mats Johansson</dc:creator>
			<description>Fellow pilots,

 

I just came home from an amazing 4 hours in a full size NG simulator! www.horizonaviation.ca

With a crew of two and an instructor (Robert Hall of Level-D fame) we managed two legs ORD-YYZ-BOS.

 

More to come as my buddy will edit and hand me footage from the flights.

 

If you are anywhere near the Toronto area this simulator is definitely worth a visit. 

Too bad MidCon phased out the NG though...    

 

Cheers,

Mats J /P364 </description>

Forums have been quiet lately so I figured I'd give everybody something to look at.   

I have noticed that &quot;free flight&quot; aways has a full load of passengers at least the A320

pilots are always maxed out..... Good for revenue I suspect.   Huh Jeff ?

 

Well, the weather is nice in Ohio today, so maybe I'll get back out and enjoy it while it lasts...  

 

See ya guys, take care </description>
