:rofl:he thought i was joking when i showed him the defult 737 so he bought the leveld 767 and showed me how to use the fmc and all the stuff
That's a good way to learn, but I recommend changing the aircraft periodically, so you get used to different types. Work your way up, starting with the 172. That's what I'm doing, and I'm currently learning the Bombardier Learjet
Did you try and are having problems connecting, or did you not check?btw is this server still up
Check the "quick links" menu on the forum.and how do you get to the IRC
The server's a pretty empty place, usually. I don't think anyone gets on anymore.I finally was able to do a normal online activation after months.
I stopped to fly in FSX after I got Windows 7 in November 2009,
now it seems to be a whole new experience with my new
wide screen (of course with a lower FPS, time for a new GPU).
When do all of you usually fly? Is the normal session as mentioned
in the first post still at 1900 GMT Saturday?
Vatsim also doesn't offer the ability to change what time it is, if we (for example) want to do a daytime flight. Vatsim controllers would probably also not be particularly happy if we were to hop in F/A-18s and buzz through downtown Seattle.True but still think about it you dont have to put up a server then and you have all the single player features too. pluss if there is no atc around you can do what ever you want but again you are right vatsim is more of a place for virtual airline flights
Server is back up and should remain that way. I may need to restart it at some point tonight to fix real-world weather (the weather server was down earlier), but other than that I have no planned downtime.The server will remain down through tomorrow evening for some additional maintenance that's come up. After that, it'll be back up and should stay up from that point on.

I'm not saying that Vatsim is bad, but it doesn't serve the casual-meetings purpose that my dedicated server does.

Actually as a vatsim controller myself we do not mind if people are in f18s just not mach 3 at 300 feet etc
That's nice. You're missing the point.Actually as a vatsim controller myself we do not mind if people are in f18s just not mach 3 at 300 feet etc if you are clear of class B airspace we generaly dont care what you do and you can change the weather/time if you use cavok weather pre installed with fsinn (vatsim client) it just makes skys clear and bright
