Hi all,
I presented me, Coyote, I don't use english often, sorry for the language mistakes.
I live between LFPC and LFAD.
I take a lot of fun to play with FSX, essentially with A29, OV10, PC-9, Cessna 337, and my favorite MV-22 Osprey, not perfect but really cool....
I hate liner Ah!

See you soon on the forum...

Welcome aboard Riccardo and Coyote!

[RtrHd1]

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

Greetings all and thanks to PRB (Paul?) for sorting out my membership posting problem. Been lurking for sometime, but convinced this is the friendliest and most helpful forum for all things FSX.
I converted to flight-simming a few years back (after years of racing sims), with FS9 (mostly GA flying) and GW3 (flying 20s and 30s stuff), then had a year or so with 'OFF' and most recently have been running companies in Air Hauler.
Two of my AH companies are utilising add-on scenery: Orbx Australia and PIS PNG Bush Trekker - both of which add greatly to the flying experience. I've just purchased Orbx PNW but have yet to install it as I've been upgrading my rig (to an i7 laptop).
Anyhoo - hello and best wishes from the newbie!

[hey_moe]

Thanks Moe, didn't know about the SOH AA chapter, but if there's a virtual bar handy, let me buy you a drink. This Guiness will do me nicely for starters, cheers!
