    Oorah!

    Greetings to my fellow pilots.

    It's my pleasure to be aboard.

    I am a Amphibious Force Recon Marine (06). I am recovering from a rather serious spinal cord injury (C-2-3-4) and working towards gaining the use of my arms and legs again. I've recovered all but the use of my right hand (a work in progress).
    I've been "FSX simming" for approximately 10 years. GA to military. First love is "bush". I have admired SOH for years and finally decided to hookup. As you might have guessed from above, I'm a one handed flyer atm. Thank goodness for Saitek. Flight makes the time "fly" by and takes my mind off the scary stuff.

    BTW, solo flight is getting a bit boring, so I'd like to have the opportunity to fly with others. Not a VAT Sim guy, as to structured. Not much into combat (have had my fill of that). Any suggestions?

    Best Regards, and Merry Christmas to you all.

    In the Around the World Race Forum there is a group who fly regularly online. They refer to themselves as Flight 19.

    The Unknown Corporate entity is most likely MercAir but don't let any one know I told you that.

    PM Willy or Moses03 to get details on when they fly.

    Fellow simmers,

    I have been virtual flying for about 6 years now and have enjoyed every minute. I still fly FS9 due to the fact that my wife whispered in my ear that she would be in court the following day for a homicide if I decided to change. I live in Indianapolis, Indiana USA and am retired. Married, 2 daughters, grand kids, 2 cats and 1 dog! Picked up my nickname years ago while visiting in Southeast Asia for just over a year!

    Just recently I obtained a copy of CFS 2 and CFS 3. I didn't know what I was missing. Look forward to learning from the experts here, and hope after some time, to offer something in return.

    My best,

    Scott Clawson

    Hello

    Thanks for setting me up , Paul.
    Hello all. A little about me and my 'simming' background.
    I've been in the computer business since 1983, and have been flying sims since 1984 when MFS 2.0 came out, and started flying combat flight sims with F-16 Fighting Falcon that same year. I've continue to fly the MFS series up to and including FSX, as well as flying combat sims from Falcon 3.0 thru Falcon BMS and just about every combat sims that has come out.
    In 1994, I became a member of a local flight simulation center called Fightertown, where you would climb into actual cockpits, and fly 'coop' missions with other members. They had 8 cockpits that were interactive, and you could do just about anything the military did. (The place was amazing.) Anyway, in 1996, the owner was branching out into being a 3rd party video game developer. I was asked to join the team, and I created the missions, and created the sound effects for 3 published combat flight games by Eagle Interactive....Sabre Ace(97), Luftwaffe Commander(98), and Ultra Fighters(98).
    We also ventured out into turning actual cockpits into something the public could fly. We had several museums, where the public could come in, climb into a cockpit, and dogfight each other.
    The last venture we had together was the creation of Combat Pilot back in 2012. It was an 'add-on' for FSX, and was created as an interactive MMO type sim, built around the actual type of training the military does for a pilot to achieve his/her wings. After which, you progress into combat training. I created all the missions (please no name calling), and sound effects, as well as all the software integration. I was also responsible for all beta testing. (some of you may have actually dealt with me.)
    Currently, I am lending my hand in helping a local flight center, with upgrading their cockpits and software.
    That's about it. As you can see, I've had my hand in the flight sim arena for quite some time.

    Take Care

    New member - A-7E Driver, current CFI

    Hi Team.

    I earned my Naval Aviator wings in 1976 and joined the fleet flying the A-7E Corsair off the USS Kitty Hawk (216 carrier landings, but who’s counting?). I began instructing in A-7s for the Navy in 1980 at NAS Lemoore, CA. I earned my civilian CFI the same year and became President of the NAS Lemoore Flying Club. I enjoyed teaching in the same T-34B that I had soloed in, when I was at Pensacola five years earlier.

    I left active duty in 1982 and joined the Naval Reserves. I spent three years flying the UC-12B (Beechcraft King Air) from Andrews AFB. I spent another ten years in the Reserves with the Naval Air Systems Command at NAS Patuxent River. I have since retired from the Navy.

    After spending time in corporate America, I have returned to my love of teaching flying. I recently taught midshipmen at Lee Airport through the Navy Annapolis Flight Center and am now sharing the fun of Sport Flying as an instructor at Chesapeake Sport Pilot at Bay Bridge Airport, W29.

    I fly FSX, X-Plane 10 and 11, and have dabbled in DCS. My full time job is IT Director for a Defense contractor.

    Welcome CDR Storm!
    Welcome to SOH, you will find this great place to get questions answered and communicate with others that enjoy the same passion you do!

    I served in the US NAVY (70-74) as a jet mechanic on the RA5C Vigilante, RVAH-9. Stationed in ALbany ,GA. and then they closed Albany and we moved to NAS Key West-real terrible duty station-LOL Three MED cruises-Saratoga,Forrestal and Independence..

    Watched an A-7 go off the waist cats on the Forrestal and the canopy ripped off,pilot ejected and we recovered him, all was well
    They blamed the Plane Captain for not telling the PIC to lock the plexiglass....

    Hi, How are you?

    I've got some problems with my English, but I made up my mind to study it properly, and I hope I'll cope with it soon. I need some time.

    Just between you and me, there are people BORN in English-speaking countries, like America, Britain, Australia, etc, that can't/won't/don't speak or write English worth a darn. It's really kind of sad. With the advent of "text-speak", as I call it, or the style of typing and speaking used in smart-phone text messaging, it's getting worse, too.
    I realize, English is an "evolving language", but come on, folks. Making LOL, Cray-cray, and so on ad nauseam part of your everyday communication skills is just absurd.
    Sorry, I ramble.
    Have a good time y'all

    Returning to Flight Sims after 20+ year absence

    Greetings.

    I'm Theo. Retired Navy Avionics Tech. Last Flight Sim I messed around with was FS98. Currently enjoying the Early Access Flight Sim World and creating missions with the Mission Editor. This is what led me to this forum. There are some excellent ideas in the Round the World threads which would translate well to missions using the GA aircraft which are the only ones currently featured in FSW. Looking forward to discussing stuff and learning more about add-ons.

    (I do have FSX, but wound up acquiring it and Dovetail Flight School at the same time. This led to early access FSW being free and DTG is being very communicative about their updates and asking users to submit reports for things to fix - yes, there are a lot of things to fix - which is why it's Early Access)

    Welcome aboard, Theo! I'm sure you'll get a warm welcome, and plenty of help. This is a great Forum, lotsa very nice, helpful people. Very well versed in the intricacies (big word of the day ) of the flightsims.

    May I ask, as I was AIMD Avionics myself, were you O or I level AVI? And what shop? Just being nosey, is all. I was WC 630, I level Radar for the F-4's.

    Anyway, nice to meet you. Hope you have a great time. I sure do!

    New Mwmber (FNG)

    Thanks for inviting me to the Members+ Group. Kinda' reminds me of the old Arlo Guthrie song, "Alice's Restaurant", and him being assigned to the group "W" bench in the Armed Forces Induction Station. I guess I am showing my age here. If you know the song, no offense. I put some about myself on my profile, but I will repeat here. I was a L.E.O. (Law Enforcement Officer) in both the Military (USAF) and Civilian lives, spending many years with a K-9 partner. I am also a Certified (AAS) Paramedic. I enjoy target shooting of all types, studying Military History (have several relatives who were conscripts of the Wehrmacht in WWII; my Dad was a Bombardier on a B-29 flying off Guam). I was a member of SOH several years ago, but life happens, as they say (who ever 'They' are?). I have not been in the virtual cockpit for awhile, now using Win10-64 and some assistive tech, so bear with me, I will have many ?'s. I am fairly tech literate, building PC's is a hobby of mine (still trying to get a handle on Win10, so far, I think it SUX!)
    I completed the sign-up process for this group, but still can not post to the Forums, so while I have your attention:

    I have my original 2 CD version of CFS3. I have the chance to buy a 1 DVD version. Here's details: The package says "Microsoft Combat Flight Sim, Europe" (basically). No version # is listed. CC is 1998. Pictured is a P-51 in flight, at about the 10 o'clock level position (not in combat). DVD is in Great shape. My buddy is asking $15.00 USD. Will that vers be of any benefit, or easier to work with, while installing to Win10-64 ? Or is it too old? I have all of my patches and updates saved. Any input would be appreciated.

    Thanks again, and it is good to be back-

    Saxon

    Thanks, Pat! And that is a fun question when it comes to my experience.

    Started I-Level in a 64B shop in Spain supporting EP-3s. This work center fixed all kinds of stuff - radios, radars, direction finding stuff, digital audio recorders, reel-to-reel recorders, and anything that wasn't a "com radio", crypto, or weather radar. In other words, almost everything from the cockpit firewall to the back end. Fantastic opportunity for me in terms of learning and repairing all kinds of electronics.

    Then wound up I-level on the USS Inchon when it was a Mine Countermeasures Command and Control Ship supporting minesweeping MH-53s. Wound up learning how to repair towed sonar arrays, com radios, radar altimeters, and ICS. In other words, everything I hadn't learned in Spain. WCs 74C, 610, and 690. Shore duty followed with nothing new...

    Off to I-level on the Truman now supporting the F-14s on their last Gulf deployment, F-18s, E-2s, S-3s, H-60s and anything else that landed on our ship and needed help. Again - 610/690 with QA thrown in.

    Last real electronics job was 2nd to last tour where I as an O-level guy at an E-2 squadron. (W/C 210) Thankfully, proving I could fix stuff didn't take long that's to all the earlier experience, because those O-level dudes really did not like having an I-level dude as their boss... until I could fix stuff quicker than most of them.

    Could have done without the 690 (2M stuff), but overall lots of experience in different areas.
