  1. I agree that they need to make money but I don't like the way that it's never enough money for them. This in turn lets them sit on there high horse and believe that giving us less for our money is okay in there eyes. You can call it capitalism, which I believe in, but I call it greed at this point in time. This way of thinking also allowed them to feel that improving FSX was not worth the money even at the cost of alianating a what they felt was a small previous customer base. Looking at it this way makes me feel that they did indeed "owe" us at least updated or SP version of FSX. It's not j
  2. Great out-takes and a small improvement over FSX on crash simulation.
  3. You mean the science "fiction" writer Ron L, Hubbard that created it. No, I'm sure there's a chance that this is a real religion. Not to worry Andrew.
  4. Nice and clean looking, I would feel safe shipping my cargo in them.
  5. I can see I am going to have trouble right off the bat, I would have given my workers two slices of bread with peanut butter. I really need to start thinking "Overhead". Thanks for the replys guys.
  6. I'm willing to stick my neck out and say "Fake". All you need to do is watch an actual bird in flight and see the complex workings of their wings to know that the little flapping thats going on here is just not enough to create lift for a 100+ pound man. I will give them points for a darn good job of faking it though.
  7. Sounds like things are looking up. I just ordered AH(waiting somewhat patiently) and although I am looking forward to it, the program sounds like a real uphill battle to get a company to not only make money but get and keep a good rep. Is it best to keep it small and just rely on myself as a pilot or to always keep building it up adding other pilots and aircraft?
  8. Great pic's. That panel sure does have alot of gauges. It sure is a big one, does this mean we won't have to carry as much cargo ourselves since it will all fit in your plane?
  9. Hi Dia, It was that, a learning curve. Now I prep everything before hand. Flight plans(PlanG of course) for the legs are all done at the same time and saved/named Leg 1,2..so they are easy to find when loading the flights. I set up the flights including aircraft, nav radios, trim, heading bug, fuel, payload and so on. I then have a folder on my desktop with all the approach plates and rally info.
  10. I have only flown in a few rallys and was nervous the first time around. It was a new experiance flying from one airport to the next within a fixed time. Flight planning was now not just a line on the GPS but has turned into a path in which now included Time-Speed and Distance. I'm glad I did it. I felt like more of a pilot and have since joined Bluegrass Airlines and plot my own courses and try to fly within the flight plan time that is suggested.(A big thanks to Andrew Godden for all his guidence) Take the plunge and join in, It will add a whole new level to your sim experiance and you can o
  11. Is that a rhetorical question?
  12. Thanks John, really enjoyed that. Would love to get the chance to fly in one for real. It's in beautiful shape. I recently purchased the Aerosoft Beaver and have been flying it almost exclusively, sweet aircraft. The procedures and gauges readings were spot on when compared to how I fly it, which was fun to see. There are some good mods availible for the gauges and popups too. I have it set up with a few other things added also, like a pocket watch for timing flights. I added a AP but hardly ever use it she flies so true. Love the video and song too, you know you have a classic, on hand, when
  13. I can fly, I only had 10 beers. Now if I could only get this stupid key in the ignition.........
  14. I only see two in the air and what looks like one on the ground(unconfirmed guess)
  15. I just did this with ImageShack. The link you need is called a Direct Link(url) in ImageShack but not sure if it's called the same thing in Picasa. It looks like this : http://img109.images...lseacoast06.jpg Also given, with my upload, is a link, the direct link and a widget code. The above link you have given might be just the link address which sents us directly to it's location vs the direct link which the page will pick up to show the image itself. Hopefully someone with acces to your host will be able to provide you with the correct terminology used there. Edit Ok for you, it showed
  16. If you want the image to show in the post you will need to first click on the img buttton on the tool bar and paste the link into the popup that shows up and then click OK. Is this what you are asking. Nice clear pic BTW.
  17. Thanks for that Joe, I'll match it up to the flights once they are posted. I just download the whole OZx airport scenery package and my poor old laptop just about choked but there is always room for a bit more.
  18. I'd be willing to give it a go if you need an extra pilot. Scored around 97% at GAAR, not great but not to shabby either.
  19. Is there any freeware scenery availible for FSX that will improve upon this series of flights?
  20. I know about severe pain, so I feel for you. All you can do is hang in there and keep yourself busy with hobbies and keep an upbeat atitude. Hope the med's reduce your symptoms and my best wishes go out to you.
  21. Sorry to hear about that Jim. Maybe someone knows what to do when that happens so you could save your data.
  22. Nice job, looks really good. Better than the original ads. How do you like the aircraft? The panel looked pretty basic, when I looked on thier site, with not much in the way of nav gear. Still has a certain quality about her that makes you want to give her a spin though.
  23. Close to RW, always getting financally punished somewhere for something. If you don't laugh, you would cry, he he. Even in a fun sim you can't catch a break. If it makes you feel any better, remember you need to spend money to make money. Expansion isn't cheap but maybe after some hard work and dedication there will be bucket loads of cash in your future.
  24. Good luck bringing the company back to speed. I have a feeling you will have more luck than the PM, in this economy. This also brings up a question I have concerning AH. If it sits idle for awhile, do you have a choice of picking up where you left off when last flown/played or does AH just keep running along till the company goes broke?
