Good morning, leaving Spokane KGEG to Juneau Alaska PAJN Carrying 78 Passengers and there gear. Expected bumpy flight in spots but over all a good flight. Our Cuz Alt. today is expected at FL320 for most of the flight. Enjoy your flight and thank you for choosing ALLied Air Carrier

Hello everyone, just thought I would share a few photos of the E175 that I've recently purchased. Going through the learning process in how to use the FMC for the E175. Some of you may ask why did you choose the E175 when the new E170 has just came out, it's the new shiny. Regrettably the E170 in my opinion is slightly overpriced. I'm sure it's a fine aircraft would even after the $10.00 discount that I have, the aircraft was still cost $39.00 out the door. As some of you may know, with the track record of aircraft developers, a lot of them do not evolve their aircraft over time and add features and enhancements. Some do and some don't. I can give you tons of examples of this behavior but it is what it is. So for me $34.95 is about the extreme that I will pay. But that's just me and my opinion. The E175 appears to be shaping up a fine aircraft and looking forward to the latest update version 1.2 once version 1.50 of X-Plane has dropped. The developer said they have enhancements to the aircraft and are just waiting for fuel calculation engine component of X-Plane to be finished. I have noticed no flights I've done, that the aircraft does not burn fuel as much as it should. That is a good thing but it does need to mimic the real thing if possible. So enjoy the pictures more will be on the way over time. As a selfless plug, if if you have a desire to fly your flights withe an economy program for X-Plane, me and Mr. Mcbride are currently doing flights to generate income for my VA Allied Air Carrier on XPflier.net economy module network. We're very small time right now and only have one aircraft available to fly which is the PC 12. But if you like the aircraft enjoy flying the aircraft, you are always welcome to check it out. Make no mistake the network is rough around the edges but that's OK at least it gives you a purpose of your flights. Also to piggyback a thought, we signed up for sim buddy the free version to add another layer component to our flight simulation experience by auto log book entries and going up the ranks of your pilots career. Thanks again for reading and enjoy the pictures Dion Markgraf AKA: Dionsol Flight Simulation (X-Plane 10 pilot) & Aviation Enthusiast Voice Com's channel: https://discord.gg/aH7x774 Youtuber: https://youtube.com/user/dionm01

Really liking this aircraft. Fitting that one of the paints looked real close to the San Diego Chargers American Football Team Colors. So I had to add the Charger Shield Horse on the door and show it off. Shot was taking at KSAN. About to take it out for spin after 4th of July family dinner which consist of Hamburgers on the barbie Pie Chips, dip and Watermelon. Yummy!!!!!!. Oh while we eat dinner we watch 1996 Independence day, not the new one. Cheers Dion

The things we do for our flight simulation experiences. Sorry there moving pictures so links only. https://youtu.be/huv7MMhjpD4 Just night time flying with my home brew cockpit. Saitek stuff extra laptop. and goodness oh my. Sorry for no sound, family was sleeping https://youtu.be/q35WPhx75Hg X-Plane Adventures: New York Eye Candy 10.50B4 Decided to go out of my comfort zone and go to some where different.

Here's a night shot, while inside my MU2. I was flying over Hudson River heading south. Camera angle looking east. That's all I a have for the night. more pictures tomorrow. Dion

I went crazy, clouds were just too awesome so I had to snap a few picture. Also Skymaxx Pro 3.2 and RWC are just flat OUT F'ing AWESOME!!!! .And I could have done more. Being at the right place, at the right time. All pictures are shot organically. Not pre setup, just raw as it was happening while flying from KWJF home base to KTUS . Just WOW is all I can say.

Yes I believe it's a good idea well for a fresh install. Over the years I've always done that when the situation calls for it. Gets rid of all the unnecessary DL L's and other file extensions that are no longer in use that reside in the windows directory from time to time. But I will say there's nothing wrong with cloning, matter fact kinda that's what RE store does to a small degree. I've been flying with XPFlier.net just messing around. Still bounce as my economy modules my own personal excel spreadsheet along with FS economy. But I do however need to revisit FS economy I finally got into a yak-40 and using my E R.J.-140 aircraft for that alias. But I'm not really a airline type guy, I've always been and probably always will be a GA pilot and just have the freedom to go wherever I want to an land wherever I want to not having to worry about all the complexity of modern aircraft and their systems. Im just one of those type of people that just likes things simple and direct, with very little complication. That way I don't get stressed out if I did the right thing or not during the flight. But I will dabble in the big jets but that is not where my strength is. Anyway looking forward to more of your pics when you have a chance to produce them. Also if you have an opportunity like I said in previous posts, I think it would be cool if you could fly around the UK and do some point of interest videos with commentary and add that flavor of personal experience into it so we as the viewer that does not live in UK would get a sense of being there. I tried to illustrate that in my latest video talking about the location of universal studios, North Hollywood, Hollywood sign landmarks that are not there that kind of thing. I have not found on youtube yet, where real world pilot just gets in his or her aircraft with the intent to point a camera at the ground (figuratively speaking) and shows the scenery of what is there at the time of recording, along with commentary of what we're looking at. Basically this is an old format, because I remember as a kid you would have nature shows and other shows that would just go places all over the earth and do things. Don't see that much anymore, other then a reality show spin which is a turnoff for me. I know this would probably cost lots of money to do it for real, but if you have the money, why not and maybe the channel would get popular where it would pay for itself, who knows. It's just an an idea because that's what I am, is an ideas man. Again take care and look forward to seeing your future media coming our way. Dion Markgraf AKA: Dionsol Flight Simulation (X-Plane 10 pilot) & Aviation Enthusiast PS: I realized after I proof read it sounded more general then a post to you directly. Sorry about that. I did not want to have to do the post all over again Cheers Dion

Thank you sir and it is greatly appreciated. As I was flying the mission, I was looking out of that vantage point as the clouds were going by at 11,000 feet. And it did give you some sense of realism. I can't wait when Laminar introduces the upgraded graphic affects that they talked about at the SimCom 2016. I would suspect that that shot would even look better when they institute those graphical upgrades that they propose. Also looking forward to the sound upgrades and hopefully the aircraft developers for X-Plane will revisit all of their aircraft such as the PC 12 shown, with graphical upgrades and sound upgrades. And to be honest with you, to some degree, I would not have a problem to pay them for their time in the upgrades to the aircraft that we fly and enjoy to use. But regrettably (sorry for the downer) I do not have confidence that the existing developers for existing aircraft would do as I proposed. Even if customers such as myself are willing to give them more money. They just don't want to do it, and I think they do not have the mindset it would be good for the community and it would be good for their product. They just don't think that way I guess, based on aircraft developer track records in the past. They seem to lag and just do fixes to keep their airplanes current in the context of allowing them to work in X-Plane or whatever platform the user uses. Actions speak louder than words and their actions have demonstrated what I just spoke. It sad, but that's just the way it goes. On an up note more pictures to come in trying to get those magic moments when we take our photographs of. Take care and talk to you soon, Dion

Those pictures are Awesome from everyone. so much so I had to record a video https://youtu.be/OaJKG0XWni8 of the new 10.5b2 Auto Gen Goodness. A Flight, flying around Los Angeles. Video was slow at the start, pick up about 6 minutes in to it.
