Just wanted to say hello and that I am really excited about this. The Virtual Airline idea seems like it will make FSX a little less lonely, perhaps. Anyways, I need to go read, learn and understand how everything works around here. Maybe I can actually get a flight in tonight which would be really awesome. Anyways, I just wanted to say hello.

I messed up, and need some advice. Lastnight, I had installed the needed software and did a quick functions check to make sure my software was ok. I book, and at the beginning of the flight experienced a crash. Being so late, I called it a night and this evening did a complete removal and installation and everything seems ok.

My flight that I booked that was not flown, will this some how reflect negatively upon me? May I fly it now? Im really trying (which I will) to wrap my head around how everything functions around here so that I can make no problems for anyone and also to slide into my groove of doing flights. Anyways, thank you all for the warm welcome.

The name of this thread reminded me of that famous Seinfeld episode ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5aKniUjce4s ) biggrin

Also, you don't have to file a flight assignment. You can fly any flight in the DVA schedule as long as your aircraft can safely cover the distance. I.e. A flight flown by a 737 between say KATL and KDFW can also be flown in a CRJ.
