    Took a look at the VA. Unfortunately I don't think I will use it as I generally fly exclusively on PMDG B737 series. As a student pilot I won't be able to do this. 😢

    Love the idea of this although it appears to be quite complex. I've been v-flying for a very, very long time and was pretty competent with most aspects including navigation - that was until MSFS2020 came along! At first not many problems, but things had started to get way over my head with the techy side which, three years later I still cannot get to grips with. different parameter settings, more anf more complicated software and hardware, until I got to the point wher my hobby had become a major mountain to climb. I've got good hi-spec computer, twin monitors, several joystick packs - but much of it beyond my ability to load correctly. So nowadays I just stick with the plaine and simple VFR & IFR flights and ignore all the new stuff that seems to come out every week or two. I gave up my membership of a very good VA, simply because it became too controlling.
    Id like to have this VA Online as I like the look of it, but with today's technology I don't think I could cope with it, which is a shame. Still, I might just give it a go!!!

    Noobie here with MSFS. This looks like a great program to try if I can install it correctly. I'm very old trying to learn new things. If I were to apply to your airlines, is there a discord membership required? or any other requirement? Also, if someone starts their own airline with this program, do they get as many aircraft as they want? Seems like you have a lot of aircraft. Thanks for the video.

    Hey Jonathan. Have been trying to register but I keep getting a 'Failed to Authenticate" error page. Tried three different email addresses and all the same. Tried to login using one of the email addresses, requested a verification email to be sent, but it looped back to the Failed to Authenticate error page again ?? Tried with Microsoft Edge and Firefox, and now I somehow have 3 different profiles :-) But I can't access the profile as the email address is not verified, so I'm stuck in this endless loop !

    you rate landings on vertical speed? within reason thats not what you are looking for. placement and speed are more important. look up the Boeing recommended technique. a soft landing out of the touchdown zone is much worse than a positive landing in the right place. in fact if we land outside the touchdown zone, its very much a meeting with no tea and biscuits.
