Re: Never again on PE - share your mistakes

The other day I was reminded of two things: - Sim flying is not the same as RL flying - Familiarization is required before going online Here's what happened: After a hiatus of a year or so, playing mostly combat flight sims (IL2 BoS) and doing my 6 in RL with my safety pilot friends, I thought I'd g...

Re: Free Scenery for PilotEdge users

KRNM Ramona is now available as freeware from: http://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?app ... file=18271. It features correct runway, taxiway, and apron layouts, plus all custom buildings and static objects (including a representation of Cal Fire's fire attack base).

JS31 and Mode-C

Re: Free Scenery for PilotEdge users

Re: Never again on PE - share your mistakes

My equipment includes XReality's GNS 430 as my training airplanes are equipped with the GNS 430 as well. Today, while flying from KWJF to KSMX, I forgot to program the last VOR fix, GVO, into my GPS FPL...
