    I am using ORBX PNW along with most of their airports in the region. The chicks came from W16 Monroe. The peopleflow technology they came up with is outstanding. If you get the chance I suggesting downloading their BOB. Its basically a "person" that can move around in any FSX area. Load it up at an airport and you can use your AC controls to move around the field and surrounding areas. Its pretty nice..

    **DC Freight Update** Its been a long road, its been a hard road. After a lot of flying, hustling, cutting safety margins and down right lying to the FAA about total flight hours, as of 08/04 I am in the black. I have enough cash saved and jobs lined up that I can actually afford to take a few days off. This did not come without some hard times. The day after I broke even a took a gig delivering some Computer supplies from Redmon into Portland. Great views all the way up to Redmond to pickup the load. Well wouldn't you know it while in the local FOB to check on weather and pay fo

    Question for all of you airhauler longer timers. I run AH on a networked computer via WideFS I can't get the simconnect piece to inject traffic into FSX. Is there a special simconnect version needed? the traffic generator just sits at waiting to connect. I didn't see anything on the justflight forums about it so figured i would ask over here.

    Thanks John.. Well its hard to say. If you are going to be low and slow you might as well be low and slow over some good looking terrain. I tried to start up in Alaska and it was o.k. but it was all blah once you got outside of the big towns alot more smaller strips to go into but it was hard to find half of them.

    DC Freight Update... I was able to get a solid lead on a guy that needed some needed some poultry moved out to WN65 Elma, Washington. I didn't want chickens stinking up my new plane but ya gotta do what ya gotta do. While over in Elma I was able to take advantage of a breakdown of a competitors aircraft and was able to move some shrimp and some DVDs to WN55 for the owner of the airstrip. At the end of business on the 24th I was able to add 11K to my bank account and add 1.5% to my reputation. Not a bad start. I ended up spending the night at WN55 and sleeping in my plane. Great view o

    Hello folks. I have been a member of the forum for a while but have always lurked in awe at the companies that you have built. Well I figured now is the time to give it a go and see what I could do as an owner/operator/pilot. The following is the start of DC Freight.. 07/24/13 After a crap load of soul searching and a few bottles of vodka I decided to follow my dream. I decided I was going to be a business owner and professional pilot come hell or high water. So after selling my motorcycle,car,house and what was left of my soul I caught flight SWA460 from Chicago to Portland Oregon.
