Fra tidlige simulatorer på 80-tallet med enkel strek-grafikk har det vært en rivende utvikling. I dag flyr man med grafikk som nesten ikke kan skilles fra virkeligheten og med en fantastisk realisme på alle områder. Den virtuelle flyverden muliggjøres av online-tjenester som VATSIM der flygeledere og piloter gjør “the real thing” med ATC klareringer, real weather og om du forsøker deg med en “bust the tower”, ja da er du kastet ut før du har fullført rollen! Men om du stutrer deg frem med elendig engelsk på flyradio'n, ja da blir du hjulpet på veien til å bli bedre!Det finnes sannsynligvis langt flere ivrige simulator-piloter enn det finnes PPL sertifikater i Norge. Vi har tatt en prat med to av de ivrigste der den ene flyr i SAS til daglig! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Haggis and Poutine - the 3nd Run - Part 4 On the 4th episode, Willy is joined by the fantastic British Avgeek.

Enjoy tons of discussion about flight simulation, VATSIM, virtual airlines and industry trends influenced by listeners as well as a pop and dance music set that will keep your feet tapping!
Who is The Nerd? No one really knows. He's just a guy from North Carolina who LOVES his music, Flight Simulator and VATSIM!! A Member of Metroair Virtual Airlines, and The Pilot Club. He's a former member of vZKC ARTCC. He lives in the Piedmont region of North Carolina. The Nerd has had a long, storied run as a Mobile DJ in the 80's, moving into the world of Karaoke in the 90's and 2000's. Then, in 2012, he joined a team to revive an old AM Radio Top 40 powerhouse 1380 WTOB in Winston-Salem, NC, playing hits from the 50's, 60's an 70's. All the while, he's been a charter listener of SBR almost since it's birth. Shortly, thereafter in 2014 he was recruited by JT and Captain Crunch to join the Blue Crew on Sky Blue Radio! The rest is HISTORY!! Catch The Nerd's show every Friday night at 9PM Eastern for the FlashBack Friday Edition of The Time Machine!!! Only on THE BLUE!!!

Die Flugsimulation braucht Visionen - das ist nicht erst seit heute bekannt. Deshalb haben eure drei Pappnasen die Flusiglaskugel auf den Tisch gestellt um die Großgeister der Flugsimulation heraufzubeschwören. Und wenn wir schon bei Visionen sind: Welche Vorstellung hat Austin Meyer, und was strebt Jörg Neumann an? Hört jetzt rein für eine weitere Folge mit euren Simulanten Rafi, Tommi und Julius - für X-Plane gegen MSFS, Arbeit durch Zeit und die Frage, wie VATSIM eigentlich früher hieß.
Are flight simulators good for training? It depends on how you are using them. We will discuss pros and cons and how to use them appropriately.

Netzwerke wie IVAO oder VATSIM haben nicht nur durch den Microsoft Flight Simulator ordentlichen Zuwachs beim virtuellen Flugverkehr bekommen. In dieser Folge widmen wir uns daher einmal voll und ganz der virtuellen Flugsicherung, besetzt von echten Luftfahrtfans. Und dafür ist das Gästezimmer wieder gerichtet: Mit Jannik von VATSIM klären wir, was man fürs Lotsten braucht, warum ein Blick durch die Lotsenbrille auch für Piloten interessant sein kann und welches kommende Event ihr auf keinen Fall verpassen dürft!
Show Notes In this episode, Nicnac tracks their difficult journey towards Oshkosh in The TorqueSim SR22 and default DA40NG for Microsoft Flight Simulator. They talk about each leg, Monterey to San Carlos, San Carlos to Grand Junction, Grand Junction to Boulder, Boulder to Ainsworth, and Ainsworth to Mankato. They talk about why they are setting aside MSFS again and sticking with XPlane for GA and P3D for Airliners. Although they do note some progress on the part of Working Title and PMS. They plan to continue checking in on the platform periodically. Although they are putting their North Atlantic trip on indefinite hiatus (the legs are too long in The SR22), they are really enjoying increasing their continuous US skills along with playing with XPlane ortho scenery and learning the best paths through the many US mountain ranges. They hope to work back up to VATSIM or POSCON and be skilled enough in The SR22 to try flying into Oshkosh for Simventure 21.

In episode 9 we have a discussion about the annual Worldflight event due to start in November. A week long 24 hour a day 40+ sector challenge for simulators flying around the world on the virtual ATC system VATSIM. We have special guest Paul joining us and sharing his experiences about Worldflight over several years as part of an official team.Read our article here https://simulatorreview.com/worldflight/. If you have taken part in Worldflight, or if you want to know more about it and VATSIM, do let us know.We also have our regular sim news feature, and in this podcast Elliott will be giving us the news update.
For this Weeks TechtalkRadio Show, It's All about Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020! Officially released just before recording, Justin and Shawn share some highlight from the Newest version of the popular flight simulator. Andy tells a story about his moms’ boss that had the flight simulator version in DOS and it had special key in case you got caught flying at work which would escape into a Spreadsheet. The guys wonder if this will give users the bug about taking it to the next step and getting into flight training. Shawn wants to get the setup to use Virtual Reality for flying. Broadway tells us about learning to operate a Tank using Virtual Reality. Justin talks about VAT Sim and how he is looking forward to checking it out. Amanda gets herself a new Amplify Mesh System, Broadway has one and talks about the extended coverage and throughput of this router. Broadway talks about how easy it is to set up and use and the many features of the Amplify. Shawn shares with us his new Wyze Outdoor Security Camera which was only $45. We learn about setting it up and the Travel Mode on the Wyze Cam. The guys talk about this Battery powered device which promises long battery life but could also be powered by a small solar device. Andy buys himself a Lepow 15.6 USB-C Portable Monitor for adding/extending a screen for his laptop but can also be used for a smart phone. Andy wants a better stand for the Lepow, and Amanda and Justin talk about making one with the 3D Printer. Andy fixes a laptop that was diagnosed as a dead logic board by another repair shop and the owner was told it needed to be replaced. She chose not to and gave it to Andy who took it and found it was a battery on the board and defective hard drive. He talks about the troubleshooting to bring the system back to life. Windows pushes through some major updates which causes problems for those using systems for Work and the updates not allowing it. PC Gamer wrote an article that this is the time to upgrade memory and SSD Drives due to products flooding the market. Justin talks about PC Parts Picker. Justin talks about the competition between Walmart and Amazon and how a membership plan is starting with Walmart. A new reality for dealing with the pandemic is using the Apps to order food, Andy hated the idea but now, it’s the only way he wants to do it! Justin shares the website of the week - Cameo.com for getting or sending a greeting from a Celebrity. The Crew sends a shout out to BoxOfficeQBs, podcasters that focus on Movies!

On this episode of Inflight, Norm joins us again for the intro as we discuss X-Plane 11.5 Vulkan and the traffic boom on VATSIM during the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition to that, we also sit down with Dan, the brains behind the uber-popular SimToolkitPro application for X-Plane and P3D. During this interview, Norm and Sol get to know Dan: where he is from, how he got into flight simulation, and how he got into programming. Soon after, we delve into how Dan has programmed certain elements in STKP and how he figured them out. Thank you for listening to this episode of Inflight!

Speaking on the radio with ATC embodies a lot of a pilots workload. Sometimes pilots like to speak too much while transmitting on frequency, leading to frequency congestion, confusion, and can overall be an annoyance. SCFC pilot Brandan Dadoun has an interesting story about how his time training to be a controller on VATSIM, the virtual air traffic simulation network, actually improved his understanding and ability as a pilot. As you may imagine, real life air traffic controllers go through extensive radio and procedures training. It turns out the same is true for people training to be virtual air traffic controllers on VATSIM. Over three years, Brandan studied the basics of airspace, airport and enroute procedures, LOAs, and detailed procedural training for all of Northern California and Oakland Center. Under supervised training, he was able to work up to controlling Oakland Center. Now, he trains others in ATC procedures in the SF Bay Area. SCFC has invited Brandan to share what he has learned from virtual air traffic management, and how it informs his ability to use the radio effectively as a pilot. He has tips/references to the AIM on how to become a better pilot on the radio. He will also interactively show crucial examples of how being “lazy” or careless about radio phraseology can lead to disaster. Learn how to spot the confusion within multiple examples of bad phraseology, and ultimately become safer in the skies. If you are a student pilot, private, or instrument pilot looking for ways to brush up their radio, and airspace during these uneasy times, don’t miss out on this seminar.
Per la "serie" AirCafè nella nostra chiaccherata aeronautica, che prende il tempo di un caffè, tratterò il tema delle Virtual Airlines. (VA) Cioè quelle compagnie aeree virtuali che utilizzando i server di IVAO o di VATSIM permettono di ricreare il traffico aereo virtuale. Sono tante le compagnie aeree vituali, penso ad Air Sicilia, Sothwest virtual airlines. Io le utilizzo e le utilizzavo con xplane 11, e devo dire che mi appassionava molto volare con loro. Ci sono compagnie aeree virtuali finctional come ad esempio la freeworld airlines (freeworld Airways) che però hanno piano piano chiuso. Insomma oggi parliamo di queste compagnie Lasciate i vostri commenti mi raccomando Come sempre ti ricordo di mettere un "mi piace", se poi il video ti è piaciuto, fatti un giro anche nel canale e scopri i miei contenuti, se sono di tuo gradimento iscriviti al canale. RIcorda che io pubblico un nuovo video ogni settimana, generalmente al sabato verso le 8.00 - 8.30 e tratto sia di DCS che di X-Plane. Sei anche libero di mettere un "non mi piace" ma almeno dimmi perchè in modo che io possa migliorare sempre e creare contenuti che ti piacciono sempre di più. SEI LIBERO DI CONDIVIDERE IL VIDEO SU TUTTI I SOCIAL NETWORK CHE CONOSCI E CHE USI ABITUALMENTE, mi farebbe molto piacere e anche questo permetterebbe al canale di crescere ancora.

Which Sim? From Alex Hi all you guys, If i were going to use a flight simulator platform for general aviation flying, would it be logical to use x-plane or FSX? I know x-plane is more realistic in terms of aerodynamics, but the aircraft graphics are pathetic, compared to some pay-ware from FSX (carenado for example) However FSX is much more detailed in graphics, but in FSX, the aerodynamics are unrealistic because you just tell the airplane how fast it goes, how steep it can turn(as far as i know, correct me if i am wrong ;) ) Any ideas? Cheers Alex Screenshot Program for FSX and FS9 on Win7 Eric, On your first video brodcast I asked if you were having trouble with screenshots on your new PC running Windows7. You said you were. Will I found one that works with both FSX and FS9. Its a program called Aeroshot Image Capture. You can download it from FSPilotShop. It's only $18.00. I've attached some screenshots taken in FSX and FS9. The program works great. You can set where to save your pics, and in what format.It uses your printsren key, and does not pause your fightsim. I gives a sound to let you know it captured your shot. Check it out. http://www.fspilotshop.com/product_info.php?manufacturers_id=153&products_id=1594 Aeroshot Image Capture (AEF-230) = $18.00 From Phil PS, Chris recommends PicNik for online photo editing. Airplane Recommendations Hey Guys, I really like your show. I would like to recommend to aircrafts, both were released on Dec 25, I don't think they were mentioned during your show. Both aircrafts are products of love. First one is the Westland Lysander, I was captivated by its unique looks, and bought it right away. It has really amazing history - RAF used them to drop and pick up agents in France during WWII. It is easy to fly, but hard to land, great aircraft!! http://fsaddon.eu/wpfsaddon/fsaddon-products/lysander-secret-operations/ The second one is Cessna O-1/L-19 - I just got this one today, activation process (Copy protection is not so great), but overall aircraft is very nice. http://www.sibwings.com/birddog.php Thank you, Ilya From the forums: SimCheck A300 Hey don't forget to mention the new Simcheck A300 airplane available from Aerosoft... truly awesome aircraft! From BionicCrab Aircraft Features: http://www.aerosoft.com/cgi-local/us/iboshop.cgi?showd,,11145 TweakFS Recommendation from George Hi guys Happy New Year from the other side of the pond, were it is freezing cold, and I am buried in about 20cms of snow. Some time ago, in a previous email or voicemail, I mentioned a suite of products for both FS10 and FSX from Australia, which can be found at www.tweakfs.com The utilities are mainly about providing you with tools that make it easy for you to tweak your Flight Sim. I have had these utilities for some time now - but like most things, the more you explore the more you find. One that I would like to suggest as a 'hot' pick, is TweakFlight, which is available for both FS10 and FSX for US$24.95.What is even better is that you can download a demo version for 30 days For those simmers that like setting up scenarios or approaches, this allows you to do it all within a few key strokes, and you can continue to tweak it as and when you want. The navigation bar at the top covers 9 screens, all with different parameters that can be set for your flight, which can then be saved and edited at will. The screens cover:- Main - Title, description, date, time, camera views and aircraft position. This is neat, as you can select your position by just double clicking on a zoomable and moveable map, and set your height, heading and speed - just so cool. Autopilot - any of the functions of the autopilot can be preset Engines - for each engine you can set, Throttle, Prop, Mixture, RPM and Cowl and synchronise (or not) the engines Avionics - Set Master Switch, Com Radios, Nav Radios, ADF/Transponder, and DME/Audio Controls - Set spoilers, flaps, gear,brakes,yoke/rudder and trim Systems - choose which systems and lights you want on or off Fuel - quickly and simply set your fuel levels either by centre, left or right tanks or synchronise by % General - gives you the options to display or not, things like EFIS, ATC menu, simulation rate etc etc Briefing - create your own briefing notes - although this looks like you need some knowledge of HTML If you do decide to try it - I hope you get as much enjoyment as I have had Happy New Year to the Community http://secure.simmarket.com/tweakfs-tweakflight-fsx.phtml USB video card + flight sim = terrible, terrible idea Hi Eric, Just a quick note: I can't speak for flight sim, but for X-Plane, no user should ever attempt to put any kind of X-Plane output onto a USB video card! The performance will be truly dreadful. X-Plan requires a "real" graphics card, meaning: - A graphics card that has a high quality 3-d accelerator on it and - that graphics card has to be in a slot wide enough for x-plane to just blast it with data. PCIe x16 is really a must, PCIe x16 2.0 is even better. USB is waaaay too slow. Yep...the processing has to come from somewhere. :-) It's a very smart idea for low-end computers...where the goal is to bring down price, where the CPU is already over-powered, where casual users probably aren't even using the second CPU. It's similar to what happened with sound cards...there's just no point in shipping sound cards with DSPs any more - that DSP is one more part, $20 more of cost (and that matters now, things are so cheap) when the second core can do sound mixing with 3% of its capacity. Of course, as flight simmers this sucks because it means the mainstream trend in hw (and what "most" new users who get a flight sim will already own) is a machine inappropriate to running FS X or x-plane. If I browse Dell's site, I can't even find the _option_ to put an ATI or NV card in most of the time, and when you do find a video card you find ... ... wait for it ... Radeon 4350 NVideo Geforce GTS 240 (You will find the 4350 at the BOTTOM of the 4xxx list - it is the most stripped down config. Surprisingly the GTS 240 isn't the bottom of the NV barrel, but being two levels down from the "real" part, the 280, it's going to be terrible for flight sim.) So a user who tries to build a "nice" machine before getting into flight sim is going to pay more and still get a machine that tanks. Sigh... cheers Ben Answer to last week's Question About Object Placing I was listening to your show last night (great show BTW) and i heard someone was looking for a freeware object placer. Now i use Instant scenery for my scenery design which is great if you want to spend the money before i brought Instant scenery i got this freeware one recommend to me. http://lc0277.nerim.net/wiki/index.php?whisplacer it's called whisplacer, it basically just uses the object libraries you've got in your FSX installation and im sure that there is a nav becon in one of the libaries that he could use. so try it out Cheers, Mitchell Sale OZx Developer From the forum: Show Suggestions from Flinty72 G'Day FSBreak Crew, Loving the show especially the live broadcasts which I was lucky enough to catch the end of today. So I had an idea recently for the show and wanted to put it out to you guys for consideration. Not that I think the shows needs revamping but consider it a possible enhancement, if you think it is worthy... Anyway it struck me that each of you have specific areas of great knowledge & experience within the show. Now what if each you had a dedicated segment in the show to these areas? These segments could then be included into the show in different ways, either all segments each week, fortnightly or monthly or on a rolling rotation making it a monthly cycle between each indiovidual segment. Here is what I had in mind; "Eric's PC Hardware & Software Roundup" (related to flightsimming and PC performance) "Mark's Multisim Persepective" (X-plane, ORBITER, etc.) &/or "GA Flying Instruction Tutorial" (like the recent flying the traffic pattern video discussion) "Brendan's All Things Tubeliner's" (Products, Flying Tips, VA Operations) "Danton's Community Coverage & Super Slueth Inside Scoops" (Community & Developer Rumblings, VATSIM & Other FS Events) Anyway let me know what you think, maybe other listeners have better ideas as well...? Keep up the great work. Flinty. Recommendations Eric: Asus USB 3.0 and SATA III PCI Express Card, and Android Air Control. Chris: http://www.twitter.com PS, we have recieved this release for the newest editing of the MyCockpit.org podcast. A great way to get more in depth coverage on cockpit building in podcast form: Mycockpit.org, the worlds largest community for home cockpit builders is proud to announce two new Podcasts, in association with FSBreak.net. 1. "Tips And Discussions" 2nd Edition, with Ian. In this Edition of "Tips And Discussions", we talk to the famous Ian, well know for his wonderful B737 project. In this edition we talk all about "Inputs" 2. "Builder Of The Month" for February 2010, Shawn Lund. Shawn is the creator of an unique project, someone who has chosen something different, since he is not exactly a home cockpit builder but I am sure we can draw a lot of inspiration from his approach.. MyCockpit Podcast can be found here: http://www.mycockpit.org/forums/content.php?8 Mycockpit continues in the future with further Podcast editions of "Tips And Discussions," Feature Interviews" and "Builder Of the Month" interviews

Just 1 week left, fly it here! Recommendations Mark: Aerospatiale AS-350 Eric: Revo Uninstaller (Free) Chris: IL-2 Sturmovik Brendan: SamDim Design E-Mails and Voicemails US Air Flight 1549 Recreation First of all, congratulations on achieving your 50th FS Break program milestone. I have been listening for almost a year and all of your programs have been a joy to listen to (and now watch). Most importantly you have greatly expanded my knowledge of flight simulator developments. I have been a devoted listener of FS Break since your 8th show as every week I download and listen to your Podcasts whether on the road or exercising in the Vicksburg Military Park. Also note that your efforts are pushing me towards many major hardware and software upgrades (FSX and X-Plane) in 2010 as you have conveyed many exciting products that have me drooling! Again congrats and thanks for your good work! I thought FS Break listeners would be interested in the following You-Tube on the US Air Flight 1549 recreation: (Alternative Video): Certainly this You Tube helps demonstrate the unique capabilities of flight simulators to clearly show such a dramatic event. Of interest in the video is what limited, or perhaps non-existing options to land at alternate airports that were available after the bird strike/fame out. Truly a miracle all survived. As a side bar, my brother graduated the same year (1973) from the Air Force Academy as Captain Schullenburger. Presently my brother is a captain for Southwest, and as a result, I am a recipient of all of his out-dated charts and maps for use in my flightsimming. (However, that will soon end as it is my understanding that Southwest is migrating to a paper-less navigation chart flight deck.) One fun thing I do with my flight simulator is to try and run SWA flights the same time on VATSIM while the actual SWA flight is occurring. The use of sites such as Flight Aware allows me to obtain the actual flight plans of SWA plus their actual departure. For example, SWA 1346 originates in KLAX and goes to KMDW, KMHT, KBWI, before ending in KTPA. You will find many times that when you try to keep pace in your flight simulator with the real flight, that you will start to lag behind. No doubt commercial pilots must bust butt to keep their schedules on time and to avoid delays. Anyway I highly recommend the fun exercise of trying to keep up with the real flights in your flight sim as you will find it to be a humbling experience. In closing, many thanks for your great shows and keep up the great work, Russ

VATSIM Apres Ski Triangle Event Video Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OCwS1SDaH3g VATSIM have released details of their Apres Ski Triangle online event due to take place on the 30th January, 2010. As the northern parts of Germany this year eperienced something like a real winter with a lot of snow and low temperatures VATSIM Germany wants to celebrate this by adopting a custom with a long tradition in the Alps and therefore invites the community to the Après-Ski-Triangle on Saturday January 30th 2010 18-22 UTC. http://edww.org/300110/ This update also includes all of the older SP1 updates. For this reason the Duke SP1 Update is no longer available. X-Plane comes to the Palm Pre X-Plane for is the most powerful, flexible, and realistic flight simulator in the world for desktop and portable personal computers. It is the gold standard for accurate flight simulation, offering realism that is unmatched by any other simulator. To get the flight-modeling accuracy that leaves all the other simulators behind, X-Plane uses blade element theory to predict the airflow over each bit of the airplane, determining the forces that will act on each bit of the plane, adding them all up, and using that huge amount of information to predict what the plane will do next... about 30 times per second! THIS is how X-Plane has the most powerful and accurate flight model available for personal computers. The flight model is so accurate, in fact, that X-Plane has earned FAA certification for pilots to log flight time towards actual pilot ratings (when used with the appropriate hardware), and is used by many aircraft companies to predict how their next-generation aircraft will fly. As in the full desktop version, X-Plane for Palm lets you experiment with different times of day, weather, sky conditions, wind, turbulence, weights, aircraft configurations and centers of gravity, all while flying multiple different aircraft though many different scenery locales from the stunning terrain topography of Innsbruck, Austria, (home to some of the most challenging mountains and topography for aviation) to the deserts of the American southwest. Fly the popular Cessna 172, the sleek Columbia-400, the speedy Piper Malibu, the revolutionary Cirrus VISION very light jet, the stunning and efficient 350-mile-per-hour Piaggio Avantu, the stout and strong King-Air, or the fascinating little Eclipse-500. Fly in various weather and times of day over Austria, Hawaii, Alaska, Desert Sky in the American south-west, San-Francisco, or the hotbed of general aviation in Southern California.

Chicago X From Aerosoft Remember the good old days when MS Flight Simulator dropped you in Meigs Field for your first flight lessons? Meigs was sadly closed a few years ago but now it's back in FS(X)! Together with the fourth, largest city and windiest in the US Cities range so far: Chicago! This scenery will bring you Chicago with as much detail as you never seen before. In this scenery there are hints to the past as it includes Merrill C Meigs fiels and (optional) a glimpse of the future as you are able to see the Chicago Spire, a skyscraper in development that will put Chicago back at the top of skyscraper cities. US Cities X is a series of city scenery for FSX that covers US cities created by LimeSim. Based on an extensive aerial image it will have all the major buildings and landmarks plus all the airports and heliports that are inside the covered areas. It is clearly intended to fill the gap between the default scenery and very high dense city scenery such as Manhattan X, London VFR or Venice X. Because the file size is rather large due to the ground image it only includes one season (in most cases this is not a real issue) and no night textures. The VFR flights over these cities are mostly a day time affair anyway. Features: Aerial image coverage (see attached Google Earth file) More than 2,000 major buildings included About 210,000 (!) autogen buildings placed realistically "Retro style" version of Meigs Field that was sadly demolished in 2003 Major airports in and around the city are covered with new high res ground images (no new building structures added) Chicago O'Hare (including new runway layout) Chicago Midway Chicago Executive (formerly known as Palwaukee Mun) Schaumburg Regional Brookeridge Airpark (where homes are next to the runway) 9 heliports as start locations Sound effects like downtown- and highway traffic, gulls... Traffic on most major roads Low price, very good value for money Includes a separate Scenery Density tool Manual as a .pdf-File (English) More Info.

FS Recorder 2.0 beta released Finally here is the first beta of FS Recorder 2. It is now almost exactly a year since I started the complete rewrite of the code for version 2. The code has grown to more than 13000 lines (without comments and blank lines), and I spent lots of hours hacking FS9 and FSX to get the new features working. FS Recorder 2 is rewritten from scratch. There are some exiting new features and lots of improvements in v2. Besides the new features I improved the FSX version a lot: Playback performance should be much better now, it should now be similar to the FS9 version; camera features (called advanced views in v1) are now also available in the FSX version. I won't list all the new features here, I don't even remember all the small improvements right now. Just try the new version and read the manual, then you'll discover all of them. More info and download links here! IVAO’s IVAP FS9 Updated VAO.AERO’s Christmas gift is a new version of their pilot client IVAP for FS9. This new version includes major changes which improve the realistic experience on the biggest online FS network enhanced realtime weather support like worldwide aloft winds, new traffic interpolation and peer-to-peer traffic engine for smooth multiplayer environment.

We'll see if she wants to take an intro flight or not and then see if she wants to join. One of the benefits is, when the youngster is a member of Young Eagles they get FREE access to Sporty's online pilot training course. http://www.youngeagles.org/sportys_faq.pdf I know you have several listeners of the podcast who are under 17 years of age and they might benefit from this. Ted Engine Failure Procedure Absolutely love the podcast, listen every Wednesday night, litterally since day one. My names Jordan I'm a PPL from Windsor, Ontario (next to Detroit) and have been a flight simmer for since the 95' days. This message is with regards too Mark's Engine Failure Procedure. I like to shed some light on how it's done here in Canada, and would really appreciate if you posted this on the sight. So there you are flying along in let's say a 172. Then the engine quits, what now? First thing you do is Trim from your Best-glide-speed; let's say 62kts, then you need to find where the wind is coming from, some ways of doing this would be looking at smoke from a stack at a factory, maybe look at some water if there is any around to get an idea. If all that fails you could listen to a nearby ATIS or contact TWR etc. Now that you have Trimmed and you know where the wind is coming from, Only now can you truly find a proper "field." In this part of SW Ontario most fields run length ways from West to East, so now you will have somewhat of an idea of which direction you will be landing. Finding a good field (highway etc) involves a few simple things. Number one, you'd like anything long, level with no powerlines and the less obstacles the better. You also want to take into account the crops/conditions (if your landing in a field). For example, if its fall and your landing you 172 on a field that has been plowed recently your probably going to kill yourself and your airplane because its so rough. If its late summer and Corn has been planted your going to have reduced depth perception because by that time Corn is 6' tall. Soybeans however work great... They provide a soft, usually level surfac to touch down on. Now, you want to confirm that the engine has actually failed... Why wait until now, isn't it logical to do this at the beginning instead of waiting? No! Why? well .....because the time it takes you to figure out if the engine actually failed or if you accidently pulled the Mixture out instead of the Throttle, is time you could have spent at a higher altitude looking for a good surface to touch down on. Remeber, if at this stage you realize you screwed something up all you have to do is restart and go back up right? Makes sense doesn't it. This procedure (of finding out what happened is called a Cause Check), essentially, and memorized checklist of things to look at before you make the next step. Ok, so here we are. Got 62 KIAS, we are TRIMMED, we know the direction of the WIND, and we also have a FIELD picked out. All the while you turing that key too ATTEMPT A RESTART of our failed engine. It won't start! Ok, now we need to do a couple things. First I'm going to "Sqwauk" 7700 (emergency code on the transponder) so ATC knows something is wrong and can give the Emergency crews a idea of where you are. Next I'm going to contact someone. Who you contact depends on where you are. You'll get much faster assistance if you contact an ATC facility near you, you don't have to be talking to anyone. So a nearby TWR, UNICOM, or the famous 121.5, which is the universal emergency frequency, which by the way pilots are suppose to be monitoring so that when something like this does happen they can relay it back to FSS or whatever. A transmission would contain the following: MAYDAY MADAY MAYDAY (yes says it 3 times) C172 Tail Number (3 times) ENGINE FAILURE, 3 miles south-east of Essex, Landing in a field two miles East of Highway #3. MAYDAY C-GDIO OUT. You want to tell the ATC facility who you are, where your going, what your intentions are and what the problem is. Remember the better the information, the faster the Emergency services can get to you if things go South. Now, if you have PAX (passangers) aboard they are going to be soiling there pants, there is no denying to them (nor should you) that there is a problem with the airplane, so you want to complete the PAX BRIEF. Talkt to them like a human being, tell them that everything is fine, the airplane is having problems and you doing to have to put it down in a field in the interest of safety. Before you took off (by fed. regulations) you should have shown them how to use the fire extengishers, locations of exits, how to operate to exits etc, you do this in the pre-flight so that you don't have to do it all now, saves time right? Remember where are getting lower as a write this. The PAX Brief should sound something like this: "Ladies and Gentlmen (lol in a big Captain voice), where are expereincing as engine failure. We are going to be landing in a field," (point it out) so they have an idea of whats going on. "If you are wearing glasses or have pen's, pencils or anything else sharp in your possesion, please put them in the seat back pocket infront of you. When the airplanes lands we will be exiting and meeting at (so and so spot) where we will wait for emergency crews." Now you get the idea right? Just talk to them. I'm not going to get into specific Aircraft types, becuase every plane is differnet, esepically when you get into multi's. At my flight school we never had a "checlist" for engine failures. It was memorzied and that way we could keep our heads out the window and not looking a a piece of paper. Next security, after flying over or around your field you set yourself up for an approach, set your final flaps (when landing assured). A few hundred feet before landing you want to SECURE the airplane. This involves turning everything off, from pulling the mixture too turing the battery off. Try to insure that there is no power going through the airplane when you touch down, it will make things better for ya if you acutally crash. Insure everyone has there seatbelts on, and in some models of airplanes you actually open the doors before landing so that if you do smoke the ground the doors don't jam and you can get out incase there was a fire or something. And thats pretty much it. SUMMARY: BEST GLIDE SPEED WIND FIELD CAUSE CHECK ATTEMPT RESTART PAX BRIEF MAYDAY CALL SECURITY FINAL WORDS: I was assuming VFR in a 172 at lets say 3500' over a non-populated area. This is a general way of following through with a "forced landing." All of these things can change depending on WX, Terrain, Aircraft Types etc etc. This may seem like a lot of information and procedures, but in the hands of a good pilot it should happen very fast, this way you can keep your eyes out the windows looking for traffic and assessing the field you may want to land in. A last tip would too anyways, no matter where you are, to have your eyes out the window looking for a field, even if the engine is working fine. Failures will NEVER EVER happen when its convient for you. Hope someone finds this interesting. Thanks........

Take Care. FSBreak Changed Me... From Tim Hi Everyone! I've been a listener to the show for about a month now, and love it! I don't even mind those long 3-hour episodes because of my long commute. I'm nearly caught up with all the shows. Yes, I really did listen to them all in only about a month...! FSBreak has really changed the way I do my simming. Here is a list of things that I now do differently compared to prior to the time I was a listener: I now use more than one flight sim. Before I only used FSX. Now I have reinstalled FS9 and purchased X-Plane. I have doubled my frame rates in FSX (average is now about 40) but I keep it locked at 30 to avoid studdering. I have switched from primarilly being a commercial pilot in the sim to GA. I once again am active on VATSIM (after a 3-year drought). I have purchased numerous add-ons for the sim based on the recommendations of the show hosts. I want to thank you for producing the show, which I look forward to listening to when I am stuck in my car! - Tim

Voicemail X-Plane and 8 Cores from Ben E-Mails E-Mail from Gerry My name is Gerry First I want to congratulate you and your team. FSBreak has grown to be a fantastic podcast of the highest quaity. You should be very proud. I have listened to every broadcast and look forward each week to the next one. I've been a flight sim fan since the very beginning and spend a lot of my flying time on Vatsim. It's hard to believe when I look back and think how excited I got flying in a wireframe environment. FS has on gotten better and better since then and I look forward to what the next generation will bring. This is for Danton, but Eric should also go this route. As one who uses Matrox Triple Head-2-Go, I could never see myself going back to a single monitor. I don't care how large the monitor is, you still only have a narrow field of view. The additioal monitors give you an expanded view that you will not believe. And yes, you can still use your track IR. Go to Matrox web site and look at the examples they provide. Since you are building a fantastic system, you should take another look at this type of setup. You won't be sorry. Keep up the great work. Many thanks again, Gerry New Bush Pilot VA I was wondering if you guys could give my new VA a plug, I have Bill Womack as a pilot, and John from FTX, has given us his endorsement!

E-Mails Hi In the last FSBreak podcast there was a discussion about using a three monitor setup, using the Matrox Triplehead2Go adapter, versus using a single large screen, like a big LCD TV. I'd like to take the opportunity to recommend the Triplehead solution. Here is a picture of my monitor setup: it's three Samsung 22 inch widescreen monitors running FSX in 5040 x 1050 resolution. I set it up recently, and I've been having a fantastic time using it. Just in terms of immersion, it really adds a lot to the flightsimming experience. Add to that having the Virtual cockpit really scaled up, so you can see all the gauges clearly, and the panoramic view of the scenery, it's really something special. There are some things to think about. The monitors have to run the same resolution. Mine are running 1680 x 1050, and that requires a monitor that supports 57hz screen refresh rate. While LCD monitors are very inexpensive at the moment, the adapter itself isn't cheap. I've heard that the new range of Eyefinity graphics cards from ATI will be able to do something similar, without using an adapter. On the widescreen gaming forum website, there is a section with lots of information on triplehead gaming: http://www.widescreengamingforum.com Anyway, just wanted to share my experience. Pharis Congratulations to everyone who did the hamburger flight on Vatsim this weekend. I wish I could have been by my computer Saturday to join you. I was able to carve out some FS time today however, and I just finished putting together a functional trim wheel. It ain't pretty, but it works great, and it's very cheap to throw together--maybe even free, depending on what you've got kicking around the house. Supplies: 1 coffee can 1 old USB mouse that was collecting dust (with scroll wheel) 1 wooden chopstick (free with order of Shanghai noodles) 1 small screw some scotch tape 1 free usb port To get this contraption functioning like a trim wheel, all you need to do is check the"use your mouse wheel as a trim wheel" function in the miscellaneous section of a registered copy of FSUIPC. If you don't have a registered copy of FSUIPC, you can download the free "RealTrim" module (http://code.google.com/p/fscode/wiki/RealTrim) and enable "mouse wheel as trim wheel" under the "modules" menu inside the sim. The only glitch I had testing the trim wheel for the first time was that the trim wheel in the VC was turning in the opposite direction I was turning my coffee can lid. I solved this by installing a free program called "X-Mouse Button Control" (http://www.highrez.co.uk/downloads/XMouseButtonControl.htm), which includes an option for inverting mouse wheel scrolling. Like I say, it may not be much to look at, but it really does work great, and having a trim wheel adds a lot to the simming experience. So if you've got an extra mouse, some other junk, and about 15 minutes to slap it together, give it a try. I have only recently happened upon the podcast but I LOVE IT. I am an avid Uncontrolled Airspace listener and you guys fill that niche for the Flightsim world. I noticed that lately you guys have been "coming of age" on VATSIM...good for you! Your life is almost complete. I highly suggest taking a look at FSEconomy.com and would love to see a review of your crew's thoughts of it. Basically FSEconomy adds the ability to own, maintain, and operate aircraft, and FBOs within flightsim (FS9, FSX, X-Plane). The best part is that it is another layer that you can add to your flightsim experience, just like VATSIM. Best of all, it is 100% free. Here is a little blurb that I hope piques your interest: FSEconomy is a realistic economical environment for General Aviation flight simmers! You are a "pilot for hire", and you will use various aircraft to fly passengers and/or cargo (sometimes called "jobs" or "assignments") that are scattered throughout the flight simulator world. FSE does not simulate a "scheduled airline" type of environment, thus all available assignments appear randomly, and are destined to other random airpots. As an FSE pilot, you must choose the best available aircraft for the job given the assignment and revenue. You must either rent an aircraft or use one that you own. You can choose a career on your own or you can form a group of several pilots. Groups can collectively own an aircraft and share it amongst themselves to create a realistic business income. You can also rent your aircraft to other FSEconomy pilots and earn virtual money. In addition to aircraft, FSE players can choose to jump into the business world of FBO ownership. FBOs (or Fixed-Base Operator) sell fuel, provide aircraft maintenance services, sell avionics, and can operate a small passenger terminal. FSEconomy consists of a website and a small software program that interacts with Microsoft Flight Simulator 2002 (FS8), 2004 (FS9), FSX or X-Plane 9. The website is where you find assignments, rent, buy, sell, and maintain your aircraft, manage your bank account, and join or start groups. The software program (called the 'Agent' or 'Client') is what is used to connect your Flight Simulator environment with the FSE database. It will detect that you have the correct aircraft at the correct airport, calculate the proper aircraft weight* to match the job, verify the assignment to be flown, adjust the fuel quantity in your aircraft to match what the database says it has onboard, and finally, log the results after the flight. (* Weight adjustment is optional but it will make the experience more lifelike based on your assignment. If you have 4 passengers to take on a flight then it will tell you what the aircraft weight should be to simulate those 4 passengers. This really helps you learn the difference weight makes, especially on the smaller planes.) FSEconomy has limitations of duplicating real life. Some compromises have to be made to allow comfortable interaction with Flight Simulator. The scope of FS Economy is: • Buying/Renting Aircraft • Buying goods • Aircraft maintenance • Landing fees • Fuel Cost • Paid assignments • Forming and managing flight groups • Building / owning an airport fuel and maintenance facility (FBO) I hope you consider checking out the site as well as considering it for a review. Cheers, ~Jason I live in England and have been interested in aviation for 40 years, which I guess makes me one of your more mature listeners! I have been flight simming for 9 years and have recently started to learn to fly for real, thus fulfilling a life long ambition. I have listened to your podcasts from the beginning and find they add another dimension to my hobby. I find the mix of flight sim and real world flying matches my interests. I have recently returned from a holiday in western Canada and was fortunate to have a flight in a de Havilland Beaver floatplane from Victoria Harbour. I have since reproduced the flight in FSX with the freeware scenery of Victoria which was referred to in a recent $100 hamburger flight. This proved a reasonable likeness to the actual flight, although I missed the reality of the radio transmissions, particularly the call from the pilot that he was going around as there was a fishing vessel in his way!- I don't often hear that at my local flying club! I have a number of points which may be of interest- 1) I have recently bought the PMDG MD11. In the manual it refers to the defrag application from O&O. I downloaded a trial version of the programme and found that after using it, frame rates were dramatically improved- the standard Windows XP application does not have this effect. I am now considering buying the full version. I don't believe that you have discussed defragging on your show, but I have read a number of times that a regular defrag is necessary to keep FSX running smoothly. 2) Some time ago, one of your contributors talked about the imminent release of Captigame, an application for capturing video from games. I note from the Captigame website that the last news is dated April this year. Do you have any further information- is it still a goer? 3) On a recent episode, Mark mentioned the live atc website. You may be interested to know that there is an application called FS Chatter Live, available on flightsim.com, which acts as an interface between fsx and liveatc. I guess the advantage of this is that there is no need to open an internet browser, which on my machine drags down the frame rates. I note that it is shareware at a cost of $10 but am trialling the free demo version. In conclusion, keep up the good work. I note that the shows are getting longer, but I guess you can't have too much of a good thing. However, as I tend to listen to podcasts in the car (I travel a lot with my job), I find myself hoping that I am held up on my way to clients- a reversal of my normal philosophy! Regards David Can you guys recommend a good yoke to use on a MacPro? Did look at the new saitek Pro Flight yoke but it's windows only. BTW, I truly enjoyed the show after the swarm event. Thanks, Jerry I enjoy yous show very much but only "stumbled" upon it a few weeks ago. When I go to the archives the several earliest shows that tried to listen to were all linked to episode 26. if you find some time could you remedy that situation? Thanks so much, Charles Recommendations Eric: USA Sectional Charts High quality Sectional Charts of the United States. These are updated versions of charts that I uploaded several years ago.
