  1. As always thank you for that clarification.
  2. The term ARROW has Radio Station License! My question is does an FCC GROL - General radiotelephone operator license can take place of a Radio Station License internationally? I understand in the US you don't really need one!
  3. Boeing up until P3D... Because I live in the US so that is what I preferred plus I like the yoke. However, I have been flying the Airbus in MSFS on occasion. Have flown on the the A380 6 times in real life almost half way around the world. Despite what the market says about the A380's future, it is a magnificent airplane both from inside and out. If PMDG makes an A380, I will definitely purchase and fly it along with all the Boeings. My bias towards the Airbus is eroding.
  4. LOL that is funny! Your profile name indicates you are a male. So we can all safely assume you are the worst pilot in your flying club. I bet none of the females want to fly with you as well. LOL
  5. Women in aviation are analogous to men in nursing profession as Registered Nurse. Working in a hospital I have known and worked with some awesome male nurses who are great at what they do. They too face many challenges working in a majority female dominated profession. Fact still remains, however, women won't be flocking to aviation as men, and men won't be flocking to the nursing profession as women. Whether man or woman, if you have the drive and passion for any subject, then just do it.
  6. But if I may go back even further than "star fox", my first flight simulator was really make believe, imagination! I had this lawnmower in the backyard, it was a manual device and only had two wheels in the front. I was small enough to put a little chair on in and it had two cardboard wings I had placed on either side and a "stick" in the middle, not a joystick but a regular stick from a broom. It resembles a biplane.... It didn't have rudder pedals, because I didn't know about them. I just pretend I was flying. I use to fly that thing everyday for like 2 years.... Until I grew out of it. There was a neighbor girl that saw it too and we use to play airplane. She use to come over and made her own plane next to mine. However mine was better.
  7. Yep, Hadouken... Street Fighter, man that brings back memories. Same here, right after school. Every day, $0.50 cents on Street fighter....
  8. I noticed it, and was going to login to edit the typo, but you beat me to it.
  9. The very first "flight simulator" I played was Star Fox on Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES). I was totally blown away by the graphics and played every day after school. Then I learned about a game called Pilot wings on SNES, this was a bit more realistic because it involved taking off and landing, it it was completely 3D, which was crazy for 16bit SNES system. In a video game section, I found a PC game called Pro Pilot and I bought it and tried it out. It was awesome but it was limited to United States only but it was an amazing sim. Here I figured out how to navigate using VOR and NDB and also figured out ISL by trial and error. There was a book, manual that came with the game which I still own today. Then a friend in school introduced me to FS98 sometime in 1988 and I was like holy crap you can fly around the world!!! So I started flight simming since early 1999 and discovered this site around the same time. I had a user name but I lost its password as I was away from simming because FS2000 requierd some super computer. Then I came back to flightsimmming and have been using it ever since.
  10. Just departed Nuuk Greenland to BGKK Greenland. Distance 381 nautical miles. At 8000 ground speed is 148... will have to climb due to the ice sheet getting higher... but for now am loving it.
  11. Awesome, welcome to the world of flight simulation. This is the place where I have learned a lot about aviation, as this is the place where it all started for me. If you have any questions or need any help regarding aviation, there are many knowledgeable folks here to help, as they have helped me. And wife bought you flightsim gear!!!! Wow, I have to do my flightsimming in secret when my wife is not home. She hates airplanes. Lucky Man
  12. https://support.foreflight.com/hc/en-us/articles/204115275-How-do-I-connect-Microsoft-Flight-Simulator-FS-X-or-FS-2004-to-ForeFlight- I use flightevents (1st one on the list) to connect to foreflight... At the same time, their website has also has a moving map with you airplane and all other flyers. For instance if, you step away from your computer you can still see your plane on the map on your phone or tablet.
  13. If you want you can join from Nuuk to Kulusuk both are in greenland a distance of 381nm from Kulusuk to Keflavik BIKF iceland is 348nm easily doable in 172
