Hey folks,

I want to say "Good Bye." This is an absolutely stunning VA, but I regret you are absolutly outside of my time zone and I had to fly a lot of hours to reach mine in Germany every now and then. Hence, I'd like to leave you in friendship and might show up a couple of months later again. The point is, my time to play shortened due to work and I want to fly within a controlled airspace, but using any of DAL legs will not allow me to do so when I'm planning a short trip. Thus I've applied for British Airways Virtual, as I want to maintain the high standard.

I wish you all the best and might see you in the skies.

Thanks for a good time.

Good moring,

interesting idea... but Paris will never be controlled on Vatsim... That might get boring. Let me think a little longer about this. smile

Christian, Paris and much of Europe is covered on VATSIM very frequently in the early morning hours for the U.S., sometimes I've seen wide coverage at 10-11 o'clock my time which is 3-4AM over there!

I know... but they are not even close to the simulation software of PMDG and LEVEL-D, are they?

There is not a program for the 737 or 767 but you can get rated in them http://www.deltava.org/library/AFV%20Promotion%20Guide.pdf

Air Simmer will come out with an A320 that will match or even exceed PMDG from the looks of it. They will come out with an A330 and A340 from the looks of it as well.
