Hi

I thought it was about time I said hello it's been about a month since I signed up. What I have found is a well run VA and I love all the statistics thats recorded in the log book, Well done all.
I have been flying FS for ten years now I started out with fs2000 then 2002,2004 I have tried fsx but had so much trouble running it I gave up and went back to 2004.
I live in Faringdon UK and I am a manager of large warehouse alas nothing to do with aviation which is my passion.

Terry cool

Hi

Thanks guys I will see you around the airways.

Just one question I see by the schedule page that Oslo to Paris uses ether A319/A320 but today I saw on the live Acars map someone using a B777. does this mean if I was rated on a 747-200 I could fly Paris Frankfurt and not have the flight report rejected and would it still count towards promotion to Captain.

Thanks smile

You are correct, Terry. You can fly any aircraft on any route as long as you are rated on it and the aircraft can safely make the journey - basically, the flight isn't outside the range of the aircraft.
