Re: Preflight Actions
It is a matter of how much do you want to simulate being an airline pilot. Weight and balance is important in any aircraft. When loading the aircraft, Flight Simulator shows is the weight and balance is within limits. One would have to know the aircraft maximum takeoff weight in order not to overloa...

Preflight Actions
I am excited to see how much flying activity there has been in SunAir lately. That's great, hope all the pilots are really enjoying each flight. That many flights have motivated me to take a break from POC programming and simply "go fly." As I was getting ready for my last flight, I starte...

Re: Shawn Hackler Promoted to B767 Type Rating
Congratulations. I'm sure you're looking forward to those long flights. It must be a popular airplane. If you search Google for "B767 photos" take a look at the suggested images that come up. Can you see one that is familiar?
Again Shawn, congratulations.

Fred, Trying to remember the last time we talked about this issue. Did you send me the files? I don't recall. Was there an issue with weight and balance?

Yes, as you can see on the SAX front page, 96 B777 flights are now available for your enjoyment. Thank you for all who tested the B777 on the TPA-JFK run. Most of the flights were reassigned from B747s to B777s, but expect to see new flights in the future that will test the long rage capabilities of...

Re: Poll: FS9 & FSX Flight Plan Files for SAX Scheduled Flights
Bud, that very same form would include a hyperlink that would download a flight plan file. This file is what you would load within the simulator and is used by the simulator GPS to show the route of flight, waypoints, etc.

Re: How do people fly 8-9 hr blocks?
Yes, that's exactly what it does. FSACARS pauses itself and the simulator. This works on FSX and FS9. A very good tool on those loooooooong flights.

Re: SunAir Express Announces Boeing 777 Service
No -300s. Preference was given to range; the -200LR has the longest range of all. Hope you enjoy it. I would love to see a PMDG or Level-D commercial offering, but the only thing I see is the PSS (JustFlight) and the WILCO, which was released as a "light" version. With such a popular long-...

Chris, congratulations on your 20 years of ATC. In 20 years, how many times did you ask a pilot to descend and maintain? :) Could you elaborate on designated windows of arrival for flights. I understand that airliners are told, perhaps sometimes, of a target window for arrival at their destination. ...
