The 'Official' Screenshot & Tips thread 4 FSX enthusiasts & flight simmers.

I bought the UK2000 Bristol scenery and installed it this morning. I then did an IFR from EGKK to EGGD. What a lovely little airport it is. First time I saw it was when I landed.

I like these UK2000 airports, I can see myself building a library of these over the UK. :D

I just looked at that SW package. Looks very tempting. Will it conflict with the UK2000 Bristol airport I have?

I have both UK2000 VFR Airfields and the UK2000 Bristol Extreme, if these are the 2 you're referring to then no problems here (and I'd hope not from the same developer ;))
 
A fictional tale..

Me, the boss of Aer Arann and the boss of London City Airport went out on a bender across London last night. Coincidentally they both bumped into their respective nieces and partied with them all night.

They drunkenly explained to me about how there were family squabbles and they didn't want their wives to find out they met their nieces last night and they needed an alibi. They came up with a plan to get over to Bristol, check into a hotel and say their meeting went on longer than expected.

We hastily took a taxi to EGLC, they cashed in a favour and we made our way air-side where there was an ATR fuelled and parked up. Because I was now sobering up, on their request I made my way into the cockpit for pre-flight. :eek:

Before long they were on the tarmac saying their goodbyes:

Just when we've made it and a wad of notes get slipped into my top pocket, we hear a sound coming from the onboard toilet:-

We all run away laughing.

The end.

haha very good mate!
 
You can fly online with anything.

What will help is basic knowledge of sids and stars if flying IFR. You can checkout Vas FMC software which will get you started with the default FSX aircraft.

If flying VFR all you need is PlanG.

I'll be online Mumble about 6pm if you wanted a demo.
 
It's my bro's birthday and we're going out tonight so cant make it. I'll be available next week though. I have Mumble installed and set up on the OCUK server. Question about Plan G. I run it on my second monitor but when I click anything on it my FSX goes into pause that's on the first monitor. Is there a way to stop the game pausing when I do this??

There is a Pause on Task Switch setting, from memory it's in the General Settings. Flying on VATSIM you really need this turned off so your plane doesn't stop if FSX loses focus.

BTW I see Aerosoft have 20% off PMDG stuff until Monday.
