Hi again Bruce,

I’ve just found an article on Flightsim.com that may be of use to you:-

Hi Bruce,
I’m sorry to say I can’t offer any useful advice on that front as I’m doing my flying on an old Windows 7 laptop I bought from my mother-in-law! Old but it works well enough for FS2004

I have found lots of good advice on the Forums at Flightsim.com and Avsim over the years. If you search there, you may well find that someone has posted a solution.

Good luck!

Hello,  Dominic, l notice from your last post you are using FS2004, are you using it on Windows 10 ?,
Like you l have a lot invested in fs2004, l have used it on XP and W 7 with no problem's,  in May l upgraded to W10 and so far have not been able to get anything to load, tried it in MS games folder and out of it in a special  made folder, on my C drive,
Just wondered if you are on W10 and how you managed to get it to work , still think it is more stable than fSx , best regards Bruce EHM-2131

I used to fly the PMDG 737-800 on FSX, and made an EHM livery for that one. I am planning to purchase the MSFS2020 version, because it was definitely an "as real as it gets" plane. I just love the attention to detail and the realism.



Having said that, my heart lies with General Aviation planes. I am currently hooked on the G1000 version of the MSFS Cessna C208B Caravan, mostly because it has systems comparable with my real life airplane (a G500 Aquila A210), plus an autopilot.



When I "grow out of" the A210, I hope to progress towards a Diamond DA-40 (G1000, with autopilot of course), which has been my dream airplane since I started out on my real life flying journey in 2012.

I'd like to know what your favourite aircraft is out of our extensive fleet, and why that plane?

For me, it's the Boeing 737-400, one of our Museum planes:-



I love the 737 series in general, but I particularly enjoy flying the 737-400 because the first really impressive payware aircraft I bought was the FS2002 Dreamfleet Boeing 737-400, and I spent hours learning everything I could about it from the manual. It was such a step forward from the default planes, and getting to grips with the FMC was a delightful challenge

I'm using the Wilco 737 PIC panel merged with the EHO 734 model now, which is great fun and reminds me of my early days here at EHM when the Version 3 livery was the new look

When I get some time, I'm going to try and repaint the Wilco 734 model with the EHM V3 livery, but that's for another time. For now, I'm happy just to enjoy some flights in this beautiful Museum piece 

So, what do you each enjoy flying, and what makes it special? Share your thoughts here

I'm glad to hear you're getting much better frame rates now Bruce - nothing quite as frustrating as Flightsim with the stutters!

Ironically I'm back flying with FS2004 - I never really took to FSX and I have so many addons for FS9 that I went straight back to it after returning to simming recently I know the visuals would be better with a more modern platform, but I still really enjoy flying in my old familiar aircraft, like the Wilco 737 PIC and Flight1 ATR-72...

Thanks for sharing your first flight Bruce Anybody else want to join in?

Hi, MY first flight with the group was on the 25th June  2007, IN A Beech 1900B , from EGLL to EGNM
 In those days l was using a second hand HP computer with FS 2004, it was so poor l had to fly with all the settings at minimum, so was flying over ground with hardly  any details , even then the frame rates of 10/12 fps,
According to my log I crashed short of the runway,. Here l am 15 years later and 2478 flights on the group, still enjoying my time with the group, and the friends l have made there, not being able to get about much now it is a great a pleasure to be able to fly about in the virtual world . l am using FSX now and have a much better  computer so thing look a lot better
 
           Best regards Bruce EHM-2131

Last week, I decided to recreate my first ever flight for EHM, 18 years on!

On 31/07/2004, I flew a Jetstream 41 from Manchester to East Midlands UK and began my career with EuroHarmony VA. The livery was different and the aircraft was a much less advanced model than we are used to now, but I remember that the experience was really exciting!

Here's a pic from the recreated flight, which I really enjoyed...



What do you remember about your first flight with EuroHarmony?

If you fly the new set of EuroBusiness Missions we've just added, then you'll get the chance to land an EHB 777 at LPMA - no pressure!



Looking forward to seeing your screenshots and flight reports

Announcements / It's time to celebrate 21 years of EuroHarmony!

Our wonderful VA has been running now for 21 years - that's an amazing achievement!

To celebrate this remarkable milestone we are going to have a bunch of new activities during the summer and autumn. We're starting off with a new set of EuroBusiness Missions, which will take you around some of the main financial centres of Europe and the Americas, in a bid to gain new customers for the airline. All the details are on the Missions pages.

These will be followed by new Missions for EuroCargo and EuroHolidays over the next few weeks. We hope you enjoy them!

Please post your Missions screenshots, feedback and any suggestions for the 21st anniversary celebrations in the Forum.
