Sounds like a fun time, thanks for posting. I flew on a Reeve Electra from Anchorage to Dillingham and back.

I wish you and your new VA much of success and much of good luck and I sure hope your VA will become a success.

It is very smart of you to open new VA ON SAME WEEK as New Year Day. That is great way to do that.

And I just took a look at your new va website and I must say it looks pretty and cool. The operating manual book is very impressive especially the cover page of the manual operating book.

Not sure why you set age limit to 18 years old instead of 13 years old which is normal for all VAs.

And -600 fpm landing rate requirement might be tough in view of Alaska winters accompanied by powerful winds and snowstorms. -800 fpm would be more reasonable for Alaskan winter weather.

And once again, I enjoy viewing your website and your amazing manual operating book. I agree with your smart idea to offer combination of scheduled routes and free charter flights. Any VA offering that combo will likely to survive more than any VA offering only scheduled routes. And you are right that charter free flights are allowed as long as real life Reeve airline had been there in past which included Alaska, Seattle, and western Canada.

And as for teamspeaker,  all VAs are switching from teamspeaker to free and more superior Discord which is similiar to teamspeaker.  Surprised me that teamspeaker is still around now.

I took a look at your nice schedule database and I hope you bear in mind that MS2020 does NOT have ALL Alaskan airports that you can find in FS2004, FSX, P3Dv1-5, XP-11, and XP-12 especially everybody is switching from FS2004 and FSX to MS2020. I am afraid you might have to add a paragraph in your operating manual book and your website explaining to pilots what to do if they cannot find an airport in MS2020.

Not everyone is switching from FS2004. Some are returning, as it’s too good to leave.


Nice looking VA by the way.

I agree. 'Everybody' is a big word and too big in this case. FS2004 and CalClassic give me things not likely to be available elsewhere and which I shall probably never abandon.

Thank you all for your compliments. I do realize that there are differences in the sims as well as in sim pilots.   That diversity is what keeps the community interesting.
