There was when I was stationed at Pax. I'd be very surprised if it wasn't. NC Update: I checked the NATC website, and they do mention it..... http://www.navair.navy.mil/index.cfm?fuseaction=home.display&key=2A3E4419-AEA4-48CA-AA0D-CA82FA4283D6

Navy Chief started a thread NATC Patuxent River in FSX General Discussion

I think the only base I was stationed at that hasn't been adequately done for FSX is Pax River. There is a Pax River scenery, but the ramps needed a lot of work, plus the hangars were not good (in my opinion). NC Jim D. Did some hangars foe Saufley Field (another of my duty stations) that were excellent!

Navy Chief replied to a thread Flight Sim Seating Arrangements ? in FSX General Discussion

Over the years, I have gone through several types of chairs. I've gone the route of buying the cheapest office chair at Walmart...to a fancy simchair setup. My experience is, as the old saying goes, you get what you pay for. My current chair was bought off of Amazon.com. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002FL3LZI/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 But then I bought oversized wheels for it. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001H96YRG/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 All in all, I am quite satisfied with it. VERY comfortable for my back. Not to say it would be for yours. AND the armrests are the perfect height.

Navy Chief started a thread Full motion simulators...anyone have one? in FSX General Discussion

It's always been a dream of mine to own a full-motion flight simulator. The cost of one is not cheap, and then there's the problem of space to put one. But maybe someday. I am not mechanically-minded enough to build one, so a ready-made model would be my choice. The "Dreamflyer", I think, is one of the more reasonably priced ones available. Although I have built a couple simpits, a motion simulator would be awesome! http://www.mydreamflyer.com/ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v8ovmDGzFPA NC
