Awesome! I finally found my FSX discs, so I can install it when I actually get a chance to! Haha
What aircraft is that (as in, payware brand)?
And do you fly on VATSIM or IVAO??

I'll get back into this when the PMDG 777 gets released :P
Can't wait for it. Just got the 737NGX and it is just amazing. The 777 will be even better... :)Quote:

FPS is more enough the same or higher than the NGX depending on the system.Quote:

Awesome, will be fun trying to juggle all the planes coming in! I remember a UK Event not so long ago at Birmingham, it was chaos, I had to go around after touch down because people couldn't get off the runway because there was so many planes and not everyone had charts or was unfamiliar with the airport (It was dark) god, Pretty sure there was well over 1000 planes in the airspace at once, God I would hate to be a controller.Quote:

I love the PMDG 737, Thats what I usually fly, just domestic flights, I do like the odd long hauler though, I usually use the 747 or the MD-11, I prefer the 747 but I love the design of the MD-11.Quote:

I used to fly for FlyUK, Funnily enough; http://www.vataware.com/pilot.cfm?cid=1151937
I used to fly mostly offline with the FlyUK tracker, Its been a long time since I flew, looking to get back into it, I need to brush up on my Vatsim flying before the event.

yeah I got bored very quickly of the A320Quote:

We used to have an FS section when it was popular on the forum and there was quite a few people posting about flight sim on a regular basis. But not a lot of them are here any more or even play it no more so it seems a bit pointless of having for the odd one or two.Quote:
