Yes but I think that Greg and I are the only ones besides yourself that have been using it. I don't think that Greg has been doing much flying lately and my FSEconomy flying comes in cycles. I use it for a couple of weeks then I take a break from it for a couple of weeks.

I'm here and have not been flying much lately. Weather here is south Texas is just getting nice for outdoor activities ;D ;D ;D Recently, I have been looking for some profitable flights and I've noticed that there are a ton of seaplane bases added. Guess I'm gonna have to "splurge" and get the Abucus Cessna 185. Yeah, I was being sarcastic ;D ;D ;D The Abacus C185 is only $10.00 Frank- I have almost 100 hours on the C210. I'm really close to home... I tried flying last weekend but FSEconomy website was down. At least I could not access it from any of my PCs. I kept getting "connection refused". Maybe this weekend. Wedge - Grab a plane and help us pay off our HUGE loan. Sure would appreciate it -Greg

I`m gonna try to get some Fseconomy time in. The 185 is great. I would recommend it to everyone. Jason

OK, Just wanted to know if this was still on going. Still flying for my self, but do not mind contributing to the cause. After I make enough money to make a good payment for my loan, I will fly one for the club, if the program lets me. I tried sending some cash, but with an outstanding loan, the bank will not let me.

Im still participating in FSE also. I fly FSE probably 4 or 5 hours once every 1.5 to 2.0 months....not much - but do enjoy it. I fly for myself mostly but occasionally send funds to AAS and one other VA am involved with. Have no idea if the following is possible but I'll ask. Right now Im moving (one and only Howard Aero) back to it's home base in Portland Oregon....currently enroute from Gulkana to an "paid flight" in Juneau. Anywhy if AAS can create flights the Howard can make from Juneau to Portland via Ak, BC, you can have 90% of the cash. I just want to make money flying the Howard. If not Thanks and No Worries.

Well unfortunately the only assignments that I can create are ferry flights. This flights can make money for the pilot but loose money for the group because the pilots fee is paid from group funds.

I downloaded the program the other day - and I noticed there's quite a bit of activity and interest for it in the VFG - I went ahead and read through most of the tutorials but I'd really like to get some personal insights, tips and tricks, advice, etc from those that are using it.

You can check out some of my earlier posts. It's really fun and very addicting. Bacically you just do a flight with the FSEconomy program running and shut down the engine to tell it you're done. Check your flight on the FSEconomy page to be sure you doing things right. Very fun, I'm sure you will enjoy it.
