FSX discussion

Which 757 is that? POSKY? Captain Sim? Quality Wings?

POSKY. I was tweaking the Graphics at the time - it looks better when full AA is applied but the panel is very, very nice.

Oh, that's a personal favorite of mine. Especially in the Delta Airlines livery.

Speaking of FSX, PMDG has released some exterior pics of their upcoming 777.

If you are interesting in cold and dark start ups and quality VCs. However, freeware this is not.

For those who like fighter jets and military aircraft, IRIS has some fantastic freeware and payware aircraft for FS9 and FSX. My personal favorites are their F-15E, MiG-29, and Tornado F3.

A few years ago I did an "around the world" in the stock Lear.

START:Oslo, Norway--> Verona, Italy--> Tunis, Tunisia--> Cairo, Egypt--> Doha, Qatar--> Muscat, Oman--> Chennai, India (Ultra boring stretch, but pretty sunset)--> Hanoi, Vietnam--> Fukuoka, Japan--> Wakkanai, Japan--> Somewhere on the Kamchatka peninsula. I'm not sure where, but I recall the Sredinny Range was on my starboard side heading north.--> Dutch Harbor, U.S.A.--> Juneau, U.S.A.--> Seattle, U.S.A.--> Chicago, U.S.A (I can't remember if I did a stopover in between. This was another very boring stretch.)--> Somewhere north and east of Hudson Bay, Canada--> Alert, Canada--> Reykjavik, Iceland--> Oslo, Norway.

I really wish that I had kept the logs from that trip, but alas I wiped FSX off my system about a year ago and haven't even re-installed it yet. It took ~3 weeks to complete. I did use autopilot during the long stretches. All flight was done VFR.

I started another trip out of Diego Garcia, but got so bored I never finished the first leg. Maybe some day...
