Re: Creekside Air Service is open - 5CL8

That was quite possible. I took 3 legs to complete the flight from the purchase airport to my current location at KBFL Bakersfield Meadows. I love flying low and slow, but I can imagine the frustration and headache I must cause ATC while entering a controlled area. While coming into KBFL, there was ...

Creekside Air Service is open - 5CL8

Greetings PE+FSE enthusiasts. I purchased the small strip at Creekside, Arvin, south of Bakersfield. It is side-by-side to Paradise Lakes 7CA2 and it shows up clearly on satellite, but not on the sectional. Drop in if your in the area. Fuel is a bit pricey at present but will go down when a new ship...

Re: Stepping on each other without knowing it

Thanks Kyle. I was trying to give pause each time I heard the controller give instructions, but it didn't seem to help the guy. I'll try one of these techniques.

Stepping on each other without knowing it

This afternoon I was preparing for pattern work out of John Wayne airport, called for ground, and the poor ATC was having us crawl all over each other. Being on different frequencies, we couldn't hear each other, but he was having a painful time dealing with ground and at least 2 other frequencies, ...

Re: Flight Plans for VFR

That makes sense. I was confused about what the local ATC was telling me about the flight. He did offer me flight following service and I took it. Thanks for the clarification. I know ATC doesn't have time to answer these types of questions and am glad the forums work.

Flight Plans for VFR

I tried opening a cross country VFR plan from San Luis Obispo to John Wayne, but was informed that VFR flight plans weren't handled on PE. Are VFR flights on the system just free flights or am I missing something? Thanks for the great service.

Re: FSX steam simconnect

I went through a thorough purge of my drives, reinstalled Win7 (pro 64), installed FSX:SE, Orbx Basic and Vector, and Southern California, and finally the PE client. It is working at present with no issues.

Re: Pilot Introductions

Greetings. I'm John Sanders from Texas. I've been simming for several years. I mostly fly VFR flights in small single engine prop planes, my favorite being the Piper J3 Cub. I've made a couple of flights now on PilotEdge, making mistakes along the way. I flew into LA airspace the other night without...
