Took some screenshots that I thought looked neat


Tooling around LAX parked next to a Boeing 777.  Took some shots to show scale.

Golfer, I noticed you're always flying the same plane. How come?

I really have no clue what sim that is, MS FS? Just curious really. Like the pics. :aok

It's Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004 aka MFS9. Why 9? Don't know.

The windows of the Boeing on the first pic spell "BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOB"

Yes MSFS2004 it is.  How do you get the passengers to board your plane?  No one wants to fly with me :D

Like eilif said, they online play isn't even worth it.  I used to go through MSN to play, and besides the fact of trying to get people to join your room and getting the host to start, it was just an overall pain to connect.

When online, users are the only controllers, meaning you have to rely on some parked guy to give landing instructions and weather conditions. Generally it's a bunch of nine year olds that can't grasp the fact that you might want to fly like a human and do everything possible to mess with you.

Passengers aren't modeled to walk to the plane, rather you can put in weights. If you want to fly a plane that has a 400 lb lard in the first seat and a 100 lb supermodel in the second, you can. :D

No passengers walk to the plane.  It's just the eye candy (Chocks, Pitot Tube Covers, Engine Covers, Red Carpet) that makes it look like an airplane waiting for Pax.

There is a HUGE flightsim community out there with vatsim.com and wolfala can fill you in on westcoastATC as he is a controller there.  A friend of mine is a controller on Vatsim and was just hired by an airline.

There are virtual airlines, charter and all sorts of different things you can do out there.  The actual multiplayer stinks, but if you use Vatsim or a similar community to have fully trained 'sim' controllers and fully qualified 'sim' pilots there is a lot out there true to life.

It's Microsoft Flight Sim 2004 run on my Dell 4700.  Lots of the eye candy is turned up and I target the FR to be 60 (it holds it well as shown by the fraps FR monitor)


A note about Vatsim...

They have virtual airlines where you can earn 'virutal pay' and save up to either start your own airline, buy additional gates, buy airplanes or routes and all sorts of stuff.

Google "Vatsim" and "WestcoastATC" and you'll see the light.  I don't play I just usually goof around with the airplanes I've got and now and then 'pre fly' a route if im going to a new airport for my company.

Morph-

I fly the same plane because that's the plane (one of them) I'll be flying here in 2 months or so.  I'm going to be leaving my part 91 (corporate) job now flying a piston single for a part 135 (charter) job flying Citation V Ultra's and Citation IIs (the airplane pictured). :D

I also paid $20 for the airplane so damnit man I'm going to use it :p

N700ES is the default tail number of the Eaglesoft Corporate verison.  They also have an Air Ambulance version.  I think its N147DR...will look.
