Excellent job, Ali.
Finally my logbook will have created itself, with a little help.
No longer will I have the task ahead of manually adding my old SimAirline flights.

Thanks!

Ah yes, lucky peeps flying abroad.
All I get this year is the usual trans-Tasman to Australia, with the hope next year will be a trip to Canada and northern US.
Nothing will ever be a great as flying my own aircraft though

I haven't flown the 737-700/800 in a while, because I lost my panel for it.
I used the panel that Project Opensky released when they first made the 737 NG's.
Apparently the designer of that panel left, and took the panel away with him.

Surely someone must still have the panel?
If so, could you ...

Strange, I had 7 circuit lessons (only 4 before I was ready to solo, but weather held me up).
Most of my lessons were 0.4-0.7 in length though.

Thanks a lot, Josh!
The left-turn tendency is a pain when you're up solo, especially on takeoff and climb-out.

Congratz :) :) :)
7.5 is too little...but seems things are different from where I learnt to fly.
Thanks!
And yeah, it does seem early, but at least I can progress instead of doing endless circuits with my instructor.


Decker, good luck with the checkride!
How did you go with the other exams along ...

Thanks guys!
Yeah, 7 to 8 hours is quite early, considering my instructor said I was ready at 6.9 hours, but my aircraft's radio stopped working just prior to him getting out.
So after a broken radio and two times where the cloud minimums forced me to land, I finally got the solo 0.6hr later than ...

On Friday I did my first solo flight at my local aero club, Omaka.

I did one full circuit without going around or making any mistakes, it was textbook!

After just 7.5 flight hours, I think I am doing really well.

You've sure got some nice sceneries installed!
I have nothing more than default for everything, excepting I have great replacement generic textures.

Just hate that livery, Pacific Airways, it looks like a child designed it.
Is it your new VA?

I'm currently on the waiting list for VPA - noticed ...

So it was all good when you did your pre-flight, but when you had taxied a while, it just blew/deflated?

Just trying to point some blame here

What was your check ride for?

I once did a circuit with one of the main wheels quite soft, and it made it trickier to handle at speed.
Couldn't imagine how bad it would be for it to blow completely!

That's shocking that CO would do that, to run such a risk with the safety.
Do you know more details about the actual fault?

I would never continue flying if there was a fault with my aircraft, even just a little PA Tomahawk.
Yesterday my radio failed, so I returned to the airport immediately so I ...

It'd be great to have an export of the Logbooks.

I have my own great logbook in Word with a big table that I keep updated, but it's only all my non-SimAirline flights. Too many to put over manually.

Never managed to get Excel to do what I wanted with the logbook and inserting pretty logos.

Yeah, those rendition logos and graphics do no justice to either livery.

I thought, as with DL/NW, the namesake leader (UA) would retain all of it's own liveries and logos, not use a stuck-together version of both.
United's logo and livery, IMO, is a good scheme, however the amount of aircraft ...

Can I get more than 2GB RAM into a dual-slot DDR1? I currently have 2x 1GB. Don't know if they make 2GB chipsets for DDR1.

I've flown on these aircraft/airlines over the years:
A320-200 JQ
Beech 1900D NZ
Cessna C208B SA (Sounds Air)
Fokker F50 NZ
Jetstream 31 VAL
Jetstream 41 QO
Saab 340 NZ
737-300 NZ, SJ
737-400 QF
737-800 DJ
747-300 QF
767-200 QF

I use the 2D Basic clouds in FS, instead of REX's 3D beauties.
But I still get to enjoy all the other improvements that REX has, including the HD 2D cirrus clouds.

Can't get their weather engine to work though...

AutoSave

Do you have EditVoicePack?

If that doesn't fix the problem, download the callsign from Avsim or FlightSim.

Sometimes the Identifier in the Aircraft.cfg for that specific AI doesn't match the VoicePack file, so change the Aircraft.cfg to match it.

Then why did you make it small in the first place?

It is quite a nice shot, as you've got some terminal and traffic in the shot as well as a good focus on the 747 with the "biggest" livery ever.

True. I really detest the idea of military participation.
I do however accept that armed forces are necessary for any country to protect itself and, what New Zealand always does, peace-keep.
