Stansy — Mon, 11 Aug 2008 19:50:10 GMT

Hello, I know it can be confusing to know who and what, but PLEASE respect others' aircraft ownership and don't fly them unless obtain permission from the owner prior to takeoff. Here are the current aircraft and owners: (If you would like to change yours, please PM an admin) Joss and R. Lechot, you two need to select an aircraft from the remaining inventory (not those below) and let us know which ones you want. --> Now done, thanks Newcastle - G-DOCM Boeing 738 CD261 ...

To join, simply signup on their site @ http://www.virtual-skies.com , and download FSinn and FSCoPilot to get started.

It's not really a major problem but I was wondering if the schedules page on Simfly can be imported onto Links home page.

Air Traffic Control

Hello all I thought i'd make a topic stating the time when ATC is most likely to be on, and for any controllers who are planning to control, to make bookings, so we can fly with ATC. ATC will mainly be London Control, which, depending on traffic levels, will cover the whole of the UK, and Gatwick Approach, however we are starting to see an increase in the number of stations manned.

Airplane wish list

Stansy — Fri, 02 May 2008 05:56:49 GMT

Hey guys, I often start a long range flight and head to bed, landing when I wake up, or also starting one right before I leave for work in the morning and landing when I get home at night. Thing is, with the passenger #'s increasing with advertising, I will be able to fly farther and carry more if we buy a Airbus 340-600. (I know... Kach$ng!) So why don't I just fly the 747-400? Well, mainly because it take about 45 mins from startup to levelling off at cruise level where I need ...

Ideas for route tracking.

BlackWatch 007 — Thu, 03 Jul 2008 22:49:40 GMT

Well here are a few of my opinions on an easier way to manage and monitor routes. First of all the admins/leaders of the airline should clean up our flight schedule on AFTS to UK based flights only or UK and European just to start off simple (and then expand at a later time). Also we could create a new forum for pilots to post flight logs on routes they have flown and when, and as the sad git that I am, with too much free time I could create a summary on what flight have been flown the most ...
