FSX doesnt kill your computer as much as XPlane does! Amazing indeed! Do you still use it often?

I can't be the only one, can I?? Semi-Long read I started using simulators ever since I was 12 years old, starting with FS98 and been using them every since. (FS98, FS2000, 2002, FS9 and now FSX) I have always had an interest in aviation ever since I can remember.. and I would spend hours and...

Did a 750nm XC one day in a da20... after my second fuel stop I just wanted to lay down in the FBO and let my back muscles relax :( edit: no autopilot

this.

great that this thread is back! I've been toying with the idea of a Viking but : Is a viking a good first airplane? Would it be stupid to not hanger it? With prices around my area, having to hangar a plane would pretty much make it not possible for me to own one :(

Meltdown in the plane? No. Mental freak-out, thinking I could possibly die, heart beating so fast that it felt like my jugular could explode but cant let my passenger know or else she would never fly with me again/she would actually have a meltdown? yes. I was a pretty new PPL with about...

Thank you for all your responses! The plane is a rental. It doesn't fly as often as the other planes and even so.. I could ask the person in charge if I could schedule it 3 hours before my actual flight.. Worse thing is they say no, but they are very reasonable people! If they were to allow me...

Ill be flying next week right after work.. I have a 1 hr break approximately 3 hours before my estimated time of departure. The airport is close enough that I will get a thorough pre-flight in if I were to go do it during my work break. If I were to do this, could I do an abbreviated pre-flight...

Figured there would be a thread going already since i was watching this on the news around 1:30pm. Glad everyone is okay.. http://www.cbsnews.com/news/f-18-fighter-jets-north-carolina-coast-us-navy/

Someones comment: "My condolences to the families involved. I have two life rules: Never get in a helicopter. Never get in a small plane."

Bummer. I just got Pro ATC X for fsx a couple of days ago.. I wish I would have given this a try first (I still love ProATCX)

I want to go to an event happening in Charlotte, I just called Wilson Air and apparently the overnight and daily fee ($30 combined) is waved with 10 gallons of fuel.. that doesn't seem bad at all (I was expecting $50ish for overnight). Its either Charlotte CLT or drive there (KJQF and KEQY...

On the day of my check ride, my boss, who is very supportive of me and also has a love for aviation(working on his ppl) came out after my check ride.. I told him that there was a chance we didn't fly if the check ride didn't go as planned. Well it did and we flew for 1.1 after a 1.5 hr practical...

I find myself adjust throttle more often than trim

Might not have been 30 degrees, but I was definitely crabbing. Diamond 20

I'm about to depart KPGV 2 days ago and there are 2 ASEL About to taxi but in front was a dash 8 that used runway 2 (longest runway so it's expected). Wind was 070@6.. We have runways 2-20 & 8-26.. It's obvious to me that runway 8 is that best runway. Both small planes followed the dash 8 and...

is KCRE okay after those floodings they had a few weeks back?

Happened in KTTA earlier today. I was supposed to fly it to Asheville (KAVL) today but it got booked before I had a chance to! Student Pilot doing solo work.. practicing soft-field take offs lost directional control and slammed to the ground. Everyone is okay but airplane is not :(:(

I feel that the top 2 contenders are mooney m20c or archer ii. With mooney being my 1st choice.. Now you've got my attention!
