Hi guys, I have been into flight simming since the land was green ( just green ) and the sea was blue, that was back in 95 I think. Today I still have and get a great deal of pleasure cruising into new places on the sim I have built up over the years, but have a slight problem now. I am an Orbx fan and have many of their addons, but all of which are taking a toll on my poor old PC. As I live in Whangarei, I would like to know if there are any other sim fans who could give me some guidence on how to get the best from my setup. I do enjoy my simulator, but get very frustated trying to nut out...

I think the idea is to make it easier showing a description, logic to show weather one has seen it before, but also as we progress, links and general help .. one stop shop.

Looks very promising. The default ATC I would say is just about the single worst 'feature' of MSFS, it really seemed like there was no improvement at all on FSXs already basic system and in some ways it's worse since it really struggles to handle the live traffic properly.

I may punt for the 4Gb That would be the bargain of the month, and a very small sim! :D Nice promo clip, I am a huge fan of NZA's Nelson in particular. These guys put heart and soul into the sim.

I am afraid it will be a while yet! Of course our ATR-72 sim is operational!

Much content available here, search on NZ But if you intend to properly categorise and keep track of all those addons, Addon Linker comes highly recommended, especially if you are clever enough to use it from the get-go! My first stop for payware is the MSFS Marketplace, it is the most painless way I know of, to part with cash. Maybe decide which PW sceneries you want, before flooding the sim with freeware as there will of course be conflicts. Enjoy... this is the best sim you have ever seen.

So I've got the sim up and working. First flight was this morning at about 0200 real time so had to advance for a dawn take off for a early morning flight NZPM - NZPP in a 172 to test everything Honeycomb yoke and throttle are working fine, but the old Saitek panels don't want to interface. A lot has changed since FSX just setting up the screens was painful. And where have the folders gone for add ons!!! Time to update FB and then do a flight Cheers Paul

Umm Lotto would help... but working on getting it to a good home. Oddly enough banks don't look at this as a good investment and will not lend me the money to buy this, so trying other approaches - lotto isn't one of them :-) When you say to live close Robin how close is that? I'm looking a moving it 12km up the road from where it is now if I get it so you could still sit in the back :cheers:

I'd be tempted to go half-share, were it running FS9 (no VC required y'see). I'll even throw in a few bottle jacks for motion control of the shed :D

NZDN and NZNS are both too old really to update, they have needed an overhaul for a while now. I forgot to mention that I may potter away on the odd freeware release, though, for MSFS and maybe a port to P3D. However they won't be based on any existing payware, as these files are just too big for Avsim, and there's really no easy way to distribute them. So any freeware releases will be smaller in scope. EDIT: one of the reasons why I'm shutting down the store and eventually stopping Simmarket sales is to have zero income from the business, so I can revert to the minimum tax rate on my...

My bandwidth allowance is 430 GB/month. In my old Classic FS9.1, I could fly a Connie from Dublin to Darwin (and beyond) in VFR Pilotage, because all the mesh and scenery was stored in my computer. I was very reluctant to go with Steam, but there was no other way to get AFS4. So far, bandwidth usage has been reasonable. I don't think AFS4 makes me 'play in the cloud' i.e. download the scenery every time I fly. MSFS is brilliant, no question, but I want it all in my machine, updated under my control. not automatically by MS.
