777 out of Brisbane:

FF A350 over Dubai

Well I guess that's a compliment for the SimHeaven stuff, but FlyTampa has a tonne of buildings, so it's hard to beat that. Some different views, I use the free Dubai airport on .org and basically whatever free stuff anyone makes, I'd buy something commercial if someone released something for XP.

LSZH-LFMN/Zurich-Nice Jardesign A320neo I can recommend this route to anyone who likes sightseeing!!! I took off from Zurich and bursted through the low clouds. Then continued climbing and turning south over the alps. The flight takes about 50 minutes and the scenery you get to see is absolutely stunning!!!

The last paper from the FAA that I read was an exception the was not fully granted to the applicant who wanted to use the drone for his real estate business. It is very vague but shows some promises. I believe it said there was only 5 exceptions granted as of the writing of the document which was a few months ago. Under the ruling for the exception, the altitude is listed as 300 feet and must be flown by a licensed pilot holding at least a PPL with a current medical. There were other requirements such as having a qualified observer to make sure the from stays within line of site, the pilot must have something like 25 hours of training flying that particular drone and the drone also needs to meet certain requirements that the phantom 2 has. I'm not sure about the other units. The biggest thing that has kept me from purchasing one is the fact that if I crash this toy in my own backyard even if it hits a tree or the sidewalk, I have to report the accident to the NTSB that I crashed my toy. I don't want an incident on my pilot license record. The requirements will change multiple times in the future once all the bugs are worked out, but the FAA had to start somewhere. Sent via Taptalk.

Thanks - some of those ideas are already in the works, but I'll have to leave you guessing on which ones for now

for 500 $ you cannot realistically build a high end system for flight sims imho. best to save more money, otherwise you may end up regretting blowing money on parts that just don't cut it. a MB and CPU alone is alomst 500$ usually, if you pick high end parts i.e. something like ASUS MAXIMUS VII RANGER and Intel Core i7 4790K / 4 Ghz - 8 MB cache If the money burns in your pocket, I would suggest to buy the best MB and CPU for that money and maybe if funds permit 16 or more gb of fast ram, then transfer your current parts, like hdd, gpu etc. Then save up some more and replace the older items that are left.

Yeah sure firstly you download the X-Plane 9 demo for x-plane which is free on www.x-plane.com. Then download the plane and open the plane in that plane maker for v9. Then click save. then you can go to airfoil maker then File / Convert All Airfoils to The Latest Format. Then put it in your v10 act folder then shabam it should work. just ask if it doesn't
