Thank you Matthew and Ryan. I was going to go with FS9 as there are MANY more aircraft to download, however, I am putting money in this as well. USA Scenery, aircraft payware, active sky etc. so, once I choose, I need to stick with it. Ryan, you were talking about the possibility of the new flight simulator coming out, we will have to see what that entails. Right now, the only reason I am running FS9 is that they have the aircraft I want, such as "North Central Airlines Convair 580 and DC-9-31, were FSX does not. But I suppose I better go with FSX just for that reason of a new flight simulator coming out. I wish I could pay someone to do a North Central DC-9-31 or 51 package for FSX...lol In FS9 right now, every time I put a new aircraft in the folder, the next time I start Flight Sm I receive another error "Scenery.cfg error invalid remote scenery path in the scenery error 038 , 039 ,040" etc but it eventually will start up right. I appreciate your time guys and thanks again!!

Has anyone heard of a new KORD scenery that contains runways 10C/28C?

thanks

Bruce is right that FS usually auto assigns a squawk code of 2200 (which is fine) however, Don't squawk 1200 unless you filed a VFR flight plan. If a controller signs on while you are inflight, they will assgin you another squawk code appropriate to their sector.

Please strongly consider this; the various strata of VATSIM bureaucracy are already difficult enough to navigate without seeing multiple forums claiming to be 'the ZLA forums' (just as an example). Unless you are going to mandate that each ARTCC remove their self-hosted forums and use this (which I personally think would be a big mistake), there is no need for duplication and it just creates confusion for new controllers just trying to find information and be in the right place.

GREAT job VATUSA. I love the new look
