American Airlines Virtual

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!

Hello fellow pilots, 2022 will see 20 years that AAV has been in existence. As a founding member, I'm so very happy and proud it still exists. AAV is the product of many talented and dedicated people, some still here, some who have left their legacy and moved on. You see some of their names in the &...

Rey, I understand what you mean! Navigraph puts all of the Jeppesen charts at your fingertips and integrates with MSFS2020. It reminds me of the old Jeppesen Simcharts I used with FS9. I finally flew my first VA flight with MSFS2020 last week and Navigraph was invaluable especially in finding your l...

Welcome back, Mario!! Your English is fine...very understandable!

Ted, I got it to work using a tip from Volke Heine, author of Flight Sim Commander. In the process of setting up FSC10 to work with FSX I learned that where you install the simulator effects how the sim reacts to other programs and utilities. By default, the program wants to install FS9 and FSX into...

Believe it or not, my go to sim is still FS9. I've managed to resurrect that old dinosaur and keep all of my old payware aircraft. A few of the payware utilities won't work with Windows 10, but there are some nice modern utilities that will still work with FS9. I'm building my commercial aircraft co...

Happy belated, Jose!!

Happy belated, Mike!! And many more!!

Hello again, Thanks, Wayne, Mike, Norbert and Hubert! This is what this VA is about: the camaraderie. To update: I did get FS9 to run on the new machine. Basically, it takes an understanding of the differences between Windows XP and subsequent versions of the operating system, mostly with the file m...

Okay, so I'm spoofing the old Phil Hartman SNL skit, but I feel like that what with running the new computer and for the first time having a machine that runs FSX decently. For offline flying, what do you prefer for AI traffic? In FS9, I used to run MyTraffic 2006. Freeware or payware, it doesn't ma...

That worked, Mike! Thanks!

Just tried to submit a FREP and got the following error: General Error SQL ERROR [ mysqli ] You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 's good to be back with a new computer. Thanks for your patience!','0','0'...

Thanks, Wayne, I'll check it out. I think the only two people on the planet who still run FS9 are me and Norberto Rivera!

Now that I have a more modern machine I plan on exploring different sims, especially after reading Michael Blakely'S thread about legacy sims

Well, it finally happened: the old Windows XP machine that I bought in 2004 to run FS9 ist kaput.I grew quite comfortable with FS9 over the years. I've had FSX since it came out, but that old machine didn't run it well. So, I bought a new machine: a Dell Inspiron 5680 gaming machine. It's not Alienw...

Thank you, Tom, for all your years of service to this VA!Enjoy your retirement and don't be a stranger!
