Michell and Zach -- sounds like you had a blast !! Shared Cockpit is one of the best features introduced as a standard feature in FSX. It's use on Pilote Edge raises some interesting questions. (1) Can two Pilot Edge pilots, connected together in FSX shared Cockpit, BOTH connect to PE (so that EITHE...

Good to know

"Roger" means "I have received all of the last transmission" in both military and civilian aviation radio communications. This usage comes from the initial R of received: R was called Roger in the radio alphabets or spelling alphabets in use by the military at the time of the inv...

If, in RL, as a VFR pilot, you only file your Flight Plan with a FSS, then your flight plan is NOT entered into the National Airtraffic Database, and when you talk to ATC, they cannot look up your flightplan. !! This is not always obvious to new VFR pilots, who might think if they "FILED A FLIG...

I have heard that other class D fields in the area will give VFR beacon codes on the ground, and I've heard from the TRACON controllers that they welcome it and to ask ground locally.

Another thing to be aware of with the FS Atis (at least for FSX), is that the "ATIS INFORMATION" (for a given airport) is not the same for each pilot. When you start FSX, the Atis information for a given aiport will auto-incrememt, each time there is a significant change, so the LETTER tha...

Thanks for the detailed reply and explanation.

Good to see at the end you were still able to let out a *giggle*

With all the apparent confusion and mis-information about "VFR Flight Plans" , "VFR Clearances" etc, and the way most other sim networks treat VFR flights "incorrectly", I think it is a shame that PE does not incorporate some form of Flight Services into their system. I...
