Honestly the only reason is because they are way easier to fly due to the simplicity of the sim.You went Airbus? You're dead to me.

The pmdg 737NG is a much better plane just a little too complicated for my newbie brain. Eventually I will get there!

Does the Airbus sim model the flight control laws the real ones fly under?

Made the jump, after much hesitation, to P3D. Added Active Sky Next. For those that don't have Active Sky Next (or similar), and you love flying weather (IMC, etc) - this is a MUST. Worth every penny...
Having a blast in the A2A Comanche lately. Sucker gets up and goes (for a single engine GA...). Downside is I don't think the PMDG products work on P3D (yet)? My PMDG 737 is sitting on the sidelines for now.

They sure do. Check out their website. Might need to make modifications but PMDG has worked for awhile now.

JRod you have both FSX and P3D right? Is there a big difference in the two? It's essentially FSX 2.0 but I don't know what they all improved after Microsoft just kinda abandoned the line.

OK I'm getting the hang of this and need to up my flight control game. Any suggestions? I don't think I need a whole throttle quadrant and radio stack setup but a nice joystick and throttle would be great
Made my second fully ATC controlled ILS landing last night into Las Vegas McCarran and lived. We're making progress!

I need to get up the courage to do it. I guess i'm just chicken to talk to people on line. I have no problems flying the legs, it's just the interaction too. Yoke/pedals make it way easier... Radio stack is nice, but you can do that easy enough in the SIM. You can always find stuff on ebay.

Get the Cessna Saitek yoke and quadrant. It's much better than the CH products one. I've had both...

+1 this. I had both. Don't need the "cessna" version but saitek is way better than the CH products.

Hi All, glad i stumbled on this. My Dad designs airfields and scenery for MS flight Sim including AI aircraft. He use to release them through alphasim (may still do, if anyone is interested PM me and i'll get you the details).
The stuff he does is so detailed. As he is a typical, very cheeky Yorkshireman, he has been able to get access to many RAF bases (with commanding officer permsion of course) as well as hanger designs and layouts. He has done airfields (such as Coningsby) in WW2, cold war and present day forms.
He's also done USS Enterprise for you yanks too!
He does it for a hobby now he's retired and loves it. best feedback he got was from the Red Arrows who were so impressed they sent a load of free stuff to give to my nephew.
Anyway, enough of the trumpet blowing!

Next you'll have to start adding ETOPS entry (EEP) and exit points (EXP) along with a couple of equal time points (ETP).
How did you get a route?
