Any decision made on this?

I think it would be okay for lines to be developed and flown for those who want a change of pace.

Sounds interesting!

You might want to look into Flight Simulator Commander 9. It works on both FS9 and FSX. I'm able to keep FSC updated using Navigraph. I also use Ifly 737s which also work on both flight sims.

Thanks for the info.

Just an FYI...I have tried FSX and had so much problems with it that I had to go to FS9. It is not what I would like, but the experience with FSX was too frustrating. Can't get a decent landing because of the start/stop frame rates during landing.

yup

I would love to use FSX, but the frame rates are inconsistent and "jerky." I would definitely need to have a newer computer with Windows 7 in order to make it work. Then, adding FSACARS to the mix decreases performance to the point that using FSX is more of a frustration than an enjoyment.

Wish my 5-year old system could handle these more detailed aircraft.

I can remember flying the subLOGIC simulator on my Apple II Plus.

I really appreciate the new ideas everyone keeps coming up with to keep SAX "new."

Maybe it would be a good idea to show what a monthly rotation would look like (e.g. time required to complete it, aircraft)

I would also go for an assigned rotation each month.

David, I understood your message. I just don't have time to be part of two VAs. As you can see by my flight stats, I have flown over 700 hours since rejoining SunAir, which means I have taken flying for this VA seriously. I guess I feel that it's getting a more professional flair, and I'm not really...

Ok, goodbye.

I have to agree with some of the sentiment of the pilots who have voiced some concern for the "strictness" of SunAir Express. I am not opposed to using FSFK to track my progress, and I understand the need to be able to automatically record aspects of my flight to post to the SunAir POC. I ...

I tried "Around the World" using the following west route. The following flights can be found on the POC.

KSFO-RJAA, 12Nov2010, 9.7 hr., 4476 nm
RJAA-LSZH, 13Nov2010, 11.3 hr., 5188 nm
LSZH-KSFO, 14Nov2010, 11.7 hr., 5214 nm

Total Block Time: 32.7 hr.
Total Distance: 14878

Well, I did it. Here are my stats for the Around the World Flight. All can be found in the POC. KATL-EBBR, 01Nov2010, 8.4 hr., 3887 nm EBBR-LSZH, 02Nov2010, 1.1 hr., 301 nm LSZH-RJAA, 03Nov2010, 11.2 hr., 5182 nm RJAA-KSFO, 04Nov2010, 9.7 hr., 4496 nm KSFO-KALT, 05Nov2010, 4.5 hr., 1893 nm Total Blo...

I think I found a possibility. They are:

Leg From To Aircraft
20 KATL EBBR B747
5779 EBBR LSZH E190
5160 LSZH RJAA B777
41 RJAA KSFO B747
215 KSFO KATL B767

Some of the flights listed here are not available anymore. Any suggestions? I'll try to work on a new group of flights to go around the world

Congratulations Phill! Sooner or later we'll get to talk on TeamSpeak.

Great News!

Do we have any suggestions as to the cargo weight appropriate for specific aircraft?

For me, FSFK was definitely worth the purchase. The feedback received from the software has helped me correct some problems I was experiencing.

Thanks to Dave Blake, Dave Vega, Marty Becker and Roy Brent!! I'm sure it was quite a job to make the changes, including the new aircraft. I can't wait to try the lines for the new hub.
