I had an issue with AI planes taxiing into my parked not moving, engines running BEACON AND NAV FREAKIN' BRIGHT HELLO LOOK AT ME lights on (sorry for the shouting... ) So I went into the options of FSX and disabled plane to plane collisions, but I left ground and object crash detection on. Will this interfere with Airhauler? If I botch a landing, which considering I'm learning more about the legendary DC-3 after flying trikes, WILL happen I'd like the damage to be recorded realistically. However I'm sick of the blind AI pilots driving their planes into mine on the ground.

Hey, thanks! I almost took some tracer rounds to the face, so it was mostly luck. In other words, there was some "splash" damage to the ol' flight suit, lol. Gross. Erm, anyways I appreciate you taking the time to watch!

Playing Strike Fighters 2 in Mercenary mode. The Green Scorpion Mercenary Squadron (my unit) is working with NATO forces in a fictional middle eastern conflict involving the also fictional Kingdom of Dihmar and Soviet-backed Imperial Paran. Though the conflict is in 1957, my sad and penniless mercs are flying the already outdated F-86 Sabre. There's a bounty system in place for mercenaries like us, so each air-to-air and air-to-ground kill are rewarded monetarily to the pilot responsible. In other words, it's the only way for us to make money. Our first mission sees a squadron of Parani/S

Excellent information, John, thank you! So that debunks my only admittedly off the wall possibility. I just really hope they find out what happened, and soon. The longer they keep spotting the wreckage, then changing their minds, and spotting it again in a new place, the more I begin to suspect foul play.

I'm not one for conspiracy theory whatsoever... and I'm not saying that these conspiracy theories of the past various things don't hold water. I'm basically just saying I really don't know enough about anything to say what is right and what is wrong, and I guess that may be a good thing. I don't remember who said it or where I heard it, but true knowledge is knowing that you know nothing, and that's kind of what I try to live by. That being said, please don't confuse what I'm saying as a conspiracy theory I'm concocting or that I believe 100% in, but view it as more of a question. Perhaps I sh

Thanks! #2 is my desktop background, at the moment, lol. I kinda wish I saved the original before I applied the blur effect. I was hoping to get like a sensation of movement by adding a type of zoom blur, but I guess it didn't turn out. Thanks for taking at look at the pictures!

Just some recent ones from my past few FSX sessions.

I would like to use the Basler BT-67's VC with a regular DC-3 by Manfred Jahn, just because the BT-67's VC is so outstanding and features a GPS! I wonder if I could pull this off using this tutorial. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the reply! It's kind of frustrating because I feel there is almost no interaction or way for me to seek out new pilots or advice without access to the forums. Glad I'm not the only one experiencing this issue. It could make or break it for me if it does or doesn't get resolved. Because, unfortunately, in order to manage your own virtual airline, you have to pay about 2.50 pounds each month, which translates to something like 50 USD per year, which isn't too bad. I'd definitely continue to buy a premium membership, but only if I can actually use their forums. Thanks, Brett!

Hello ladies and gentlemen, I'm currently posting this from my cell phone inside my taxi cab awaiting a pickup. If you do yourself one favor in your life, do not become a cab driver. Anyways, as the topic says, does anyone here use FsAirlines? It's much like the legendary FsEconomy, but with virtual airlines. Seeing as how I wanted to make Red Bird Airlines a possibility, I went ahead and signed up at their website and am currently on my two week trial membership, which has allowed me to start the airline. It's pretty fun and I'm enjoying the money management and flight tracking. However, w

Thank you! That means a lot to me. It's a great uplifting feeling when your work is appreciated and enjoyed by others. I personally would like to give a shot to the 727 by captain sim, love the look of that airplane with it's triple engines. If you're undecided about the CS 737-200 for whatever reason and you have the cash, I would whole-heartedly recommend it. I don't fly jets very often, but ever since I have purchased that plane and the cargo expansion, it's one I will always come back to fly. The sound-set is great, the exterior and interior model is amazing, it's a dream to fly. Like

Thanks for posting that video, Brett! Very informative and helpful to me, as I'm still considering different programs. Based on my research, of several programs, they look quite complex in terms of interface. I have a joystick for flying, but the rest of my sim is controlled with the keyboard, and these key command lists on some of the programs are extremely long. I don't have a printer, so writing down a lot of this information would be quite the job. But at the same time, complexity is what makes realism, so it's not necessarily a bad thing. For me, I think the most difficult part for me wil

Thanks for reading Brett! I really appreciate it. Boy, the Dreamliner...there's a plane! A bit too big for me, I think. I enjoy the Captain Sim 737-200 because, if I have to, I can hand-fly it and it reminds me of flying a lighter aircraft like my favorite the Carenado Cessna 337. Thanks, Geoff! I did have a strong interest in becoming a photo journalist, but that was more for the photography which I still practice to this day and have considered uploading some of my photos. I also still cling to a dream of writing fiction novels, but I have yet to really do anything with that. My in

Here's a fictional newspaper article I threw together after a flight I tried today. Apparently, even with REX Overddrive installed, FSX likes to throw sudden hurricane-force winds at you. When you have FsPassengers running...this makes for a bad day. Is there a setting I'm missing that will allow me to stop this from happening? An Airline That's Destined For The Birds? By Bill Dodson March 5th 2014, Monterey Calif. You may have heard of a small upstart in the aviation business, called Red Bird Airlines. Born in June of 1993, Red Bird Airlines was founded from the ground up by it's C

Haha! Oh no! I didnt think of all of that. However, I can say, thankfully, that being as I'm only 24 going on 25, and the soon to be wife is 23 almost 24, we are avoiding the kids thing as much as we can. The idea scares us, frankly. So hopefully that won't happen until we want it to (if ever) and I can continue to fly a bit here and there between work and mortgage. Oh, and I must say thank you for the congratulations. I'm quite a happy guy as it were, and I feel very blessed!
