Hi everybody, greetings from Italy
My name is David, in my real life I'm an Army Officer dealing with the Air Defence System.
Here in the Flight Simulator world I usually fly with the callsign "LUCE7" in the 102° Virtual Squadron (http://www.102virtual.org/), together with some of the guys that created the new SIM SKUNK WORKS team that developed the just delivered F-104S/ASA Vers. 3.0 for FSX.
I've made some videos to introduce our squadron that you can find in youtube, just search "102° VSQN" or my nick "Davide65".
Most of them are made with FS9 as this one

Here my last video. I used FSX and the "now" freeware SSW F-104 vers.2.6.
It's about one flight from Rimini AB to Decimomannu AB.

I'll install soon FSX and SSW F-104 vers.3.01 on my new PC and I'll make a new video and pics ASAP to show all SOH audience this AMAZING SSW model and full 3D cockpit.
Happy to meet all of you.

Greetings from Southwest Ontario!
I have been a lurker here for some time, and recently decided to start posting as I found there are many here who share my love of FS trash hauling.
As far as the hobby goes, apart from flying around I am also a repainter, with real-world repaints both at FlightSim and Avsim (for the CS F-104, RCAF/CAF paints) and at Historic Jetliners (for the 727). But my real passion is the "what-if" side of things. Airliners wearing liveries in which they never served, aircraft that were also-rans in the real world, and so forth.
Oh yeah, and FS9 on my system is currently running as if it were sometime in the early 1960s, using CalClassics' and Retro AI's AI files, as well as airport backdates and retro sceneries, etc.
Be seeing you!
Greetings from a member in Germany
Hello guys!
And thank you for letting me in to join you here at SOH. My name's Markus, currently 32 years old. Living in a small town near the city of Hanover, Germany. Been flightsimming for a couple of years now, I started long time ago with FS3(!), currently using FSX only. :)
I am also a proud member of Alaskan Winds Virtual Air Service.
I have some experience in editing aircraft's config files, .air files, panels and so on, and also created some repaints for Alaskan Winds so far.
What else can I say? I am a real-world pilot. Working for a german charter airline as a First Officer, with a Boeing 737 type-rating. Best job in the world, if you ask me ;)
Nice to meet you guys here!
Best regards,
Markus
Hello to the SOH Staff and the rest of the SOH Community!
I would like to thank Paul for his rapid response on the Holiday. He's from my home state and I've given him an open invite of Atlantic Canadian Hospitality should he choose to venture a visit to New Brunswick. I'd also like to thank Willy. I have not needed your services yet but most likely, as a new member, I will.
To start off, I'm an American, (Happy 4th of July!), living in the Great White North, (Eastern Canada). I'm retired from US Naval Aviation where I was a Safety and Survival Tech for too long and I learned how to fly the Seaking. (hats off to Capt'n "Sneaky Pete" Daniels, R.I.P.)
I moved to Canada in the early 80's because of a woman, (Mrs. rtrhd1) and my little rtrhd1's are now grown and out of the hangar so I'm back in my simpit full time. My FS history goes back the primitive years. FS ver2.0 and I retain ownership of every issue through FSX. I log a ton of hours each month in FSX with Aerosoft's Huey X. Occasionally, I do strap on FlightReplica's Super Cub Experimental 210. I have been toying around with it by changing out the powerplants, it currently uses the Lycoming 540-series 250 HP for some serious but realistic and fun STO's and landings. I've watched a few Youtube vids of the actual competitions at Valdez, Alaska (Cubdriver749er) and was so impressed... well, you know how it is.
My modest PC situation is as follows: Intel Core2 6300 @ 1.87Ghz.
8 Gigs DDR2
Win7 Ultimate 64-bit
500 Gig C drive with 1 terrabit D drive
GeForce 8800 GTS 512 DDR2
(my sim and related software resides and operates from the big drive)
My sim situation is a bit better: FSX with Acceleration
Aerosoft HueyX and FlightReplicas Super Cub
ORBX PNW, NA Blue, NRM and PFJ with all the trimmings.
Flight1 Utimate Traffic 2
REX with Essential
Active Sky Evolution
"Home" is 7WA3 out west.
I'm not sure what experience I can share with the Community at large concerning the FS world but I'll certainly do my best. I'm expecting to learn a lot of the yet "unfamiliar" area's of the sim so I'll be doing a lot of reading here and posting my fair share.
Cheers!
- Carl
