FSCheckride allows users to create and run feature-rich multiple choice exams in FSX and FS9. FSCheckride was reviewed by Avsim and received a Gold Star award. FSCheckride was formally a payware add-on produced by FS2Crew. However, FS2Crew has decided to give the product out for free a gift to the Flightsim community for all the support it has received over the years. We are hoping that users will create their own tests and distribute them freely in the community. Review Available.

This package includes over 200 new textures that greatly enhance all your FSX default airports throughout the world.

Overview: The premise here is to outline a method whereby Sling Load/Hoist operations can be conducted in a multiplayer session on Game Spy using the shared aircraft option. The desire effect is to have two players, one in the pilot role and the other as crew chief, working together to add additional realism to these operations. These operations are conducted in a “free flight” environment as opposed to the “multiplayer missions” scenarios now available with FSX Acceleration. Using a saved flight as the bases this method enables both players to see the same objects while sharing an aircraft, and simultaneously see the actions of those objects while conducting their Sling load/Hoist operations. It should be noted that while I and another player have used this method with success it does take some time for the players involved to become coordinated with each other.
