    Any experiences downloading MSFS 2020?

    I have to put a vote in for the Redbird 'stuff'. We have their throttle console, rudders, and yoke. Serious cash, but seriously good. The yoke has 180 degrees of rotation, and the fore-aft throw is within a half-inch of our 182rg. We're serious simmers (3 4k screens run by 3 computers), and...

    Plane crash on FL freeway

    Clearly anecdotal, but my wife, who has been shuttling owners who have house in Florida for over 35 years, came home for the first time ever last week shaken by flying thru a big flock of seagulls in the Citation. She said it was sheer luck there was no strike..... FWIW.... Jim

    Office 365

    +1 for Libreoffice....open source so anyone can see inside the code. We do all our home and business stuff with Libreoffice on Linux Mint machines. Microsoft....who? :-)

    Total Solar Eclipse on Monday, April 8, 2024

    I was thinking we'd just wander out in the back yard. Prime, dead-on in the center thing for us :-) Jim

    ORD remains the worst

    We've been flying from NE Ohio to SQI (Sw of RFD) for almost 15 years...mom is there. The only time (singular) we haven't been sent to KELSI was when we went VFR for some reason. That wouldn't be bad if they'd let us turn NW up to TRIDE like flight planned, but they insist on vectoring us due...

    I can see my house from here! :-) (pic center). The sun just made the trees 'pop' this morning!

    While the engine is off ....

    She's gonna be gorgeous, Ed! 76 posts in and no one's mentioned re-building the fuel selector valve....a known sticking point (pun intended) on the 7/8 series. ;-) Jim

    Garmin G5 simulator

    This is X-plane, with the Air Manager add-on doing the instruments. We've set the panel up to match the one in our R182. The smaller screen is a touchscreen, and the keystrokes for the G5s, the GFC500, and the interaction between them are spot on. It's an amazing learning tool, but getting...

    POA Aviation Media Forum Sucks

    I've admired your work in Sport Aviation and other places for years, Jack! Like I said originally, no offense intended. In my opinion, a valid question with a well-considered response. Thank you! Jim

    POA Aviation Media Forum Sucks

    I don't know if this was a serious inquiry from J0hnH, but mine is...I don't see this in the forum list. How do I get to it? Excellent question, Palmpilot...if the posts show up in New Posts, I don't see an issue where a post is located. I don't usually even log in to check content...

    Edit ForeFlight with an external editor?

    .....Yup, FF does that too. I have the manuals for our avionics all in the Documents section of FF in PDF format. Just another way the OP could handle his original issue. Jim

    How much should I tip my CFI?

    We tip the guys at the FBO our personal aircraft are at for Christmas. Same with the folks at the FBO my wife's work aircraft (we also manage the a/c) is based at. Standard is for them to tip on trips..especially places they go back to. Makes folks happy to help. Me?....I just let my CFI...

    Monitor Question - Flight Simulators

    Thanks! We have fun with it. Useful too..We've actually taught a couple of friends to 'fly' new-to-them GTNs with it. The GTN on the ipad runs the Garmin Trainer app in the background, so it's dead-on. Jim

    Monitor Question - Flight Simulators

    I'm late to the party, but for any others making monitor choices, IMHO the whole refresh rate/hz. rate thing, at least in the flight sim arena, is a way to sell monitors. These are cheapo 50" 4k TVs running X-Plane 12. They run at 30 hz., and I have them locked to 30fps in XP12. More than...
