Is the VA model still alive???

Posted on June 21, 2011 by admin

I saw this question mentioned on the VATSIM Forums the other day and it got me thinking.  Is the VA model still alive?  Being someone who has been involved with virtual airlines off and on for a decade now, I sort of began pondering why I joined a VA in the first place and why…

A real world adventure simulated…Part 2

Posted on June 18, 2011 by admin

Before I get started detailing part two, I just wanted to mention the Heathrow scenery is UK2000 Scenery.  They develop add-on scenery for both FSX and FS9.  It runs fairly well on my machine and since I enjoy flying to Heathrow, I wanted to update it from the way it looks in FSX default (which…

A real world adventure simulated…Part 1

Posted on June 16, 2011 by admin

For about as long as I can remember I’ve enjoyed simulating my real world flights on flight simulator.  This probably started in the mid-90’s with the introduction of Flight Simulator 95 (FS 6), but I may have been doing it as early as FS5.  Generally the way I do it is a few days or…

What’s in a name…

Posted on June 13, 2011 by admin

When I started this blog I was inspired by a fellow flight sim enthusiasts blog titled “Clear Left…Views from the virtual Flight Deck” of Al Stiff.  Another blog I enjoy reading also comes from a fellow flight sim enthusiast titled “Clear Right…Onur’s virtual skies”.  Both Onur and Al do a fine job blogging about their…

Captain Sim 777–A First Look

Posted on June 9, 2011 by admin

This is not going to be an official review of the new Captain Sim Boeing 777-200 as it basically is an exterior only model which incorporates the default B747 panel and B737 sound at this time.  Now I know what you must be thinking, especially if you are not familiar with the Captain Sim product…

More naughty behavior

Posted on June 6, 2011 by admin

Last month I blogged about some old news regarding how I believe the Flight Pro Sim software (I’m sure you’ve seen the ads on Facebook and Twitter) is seriously cheating the flight sim hobby by taking an existing product available totally free from the good folks at FlightGear.org and ripping YOU, the flight simulator enthusiast…

AvA 10th Birthday –Something Special in the Air

Posted on June 4, 2011 by admin

American virtual Airlines was founded on June 1, 2001.  Each year AvA has celebrated its birthday with an event of some kind.  I remember the early days when we might get 25 pilots or so that would fly in the event.  Normally the event consisted of a group flight from point A to point B. …

How much time do you spend…

Posted on June 3, 2011 by admin

Hobbies are things we do for fun, to relax, to just get away from the tasks of life.  Some people are less passionate about certain hobbies and more about others.  Sometimes a hobby gets placed on the back burner for a time and then moved forward again when life permits more time to dedicate to…

I’m not a real pilot…

Posted on June 1, 2011 by admin

And I don’t play one on TV, nor did I sleep in a Holiday Inn Express last night.  You may need to be familiar with American TV to fully understand those comments. I’m often asked why do I want to sit behind a computer for hours at a time and pretend to fly an airplane…

I’m proud to say iFly the new B737NG

Posted on May 20, 2011 by admin

When I began flying computer sims back in the early to mid-80’s all I really could do was get the Cessna off the ground at Meig’s Field in Chicago.  If I was lucky I could return to Meig’s field and land within a 5 mile radius of the airport.  Most times I ended up in…
