I just took what will hopefully be my last flight before I step up to the Stage 2 (specifically MD-88/90 pgm.) program. I've been familiar with the controls since I've controlled it's ancestor, the DC-9-10, in "Fly!"
So, I'll be making (my video of a) check flight tomorrow from Dallas-FW to Atlanta. Wish me luck.

One suggestion - if you want to skip the flight video, join us on one of the events this weekend.
Cheers!

I'm already signed up for both events. As long as my computer cooperates, I'll be there for sure.

Excellent. Take the aircraft out this weekend and we can skip the video. If you can handle the aircraft competently on an event, that's better than any checkride.
Cheers!

Unfortunately my computer didn't cooperate on any attempt to fly online today, and most likely will repeat the same tomorrow if I try to fly the CVG-MSP musketeers event tomorrow.
I guess I will have to resort to submitting the check flight video after all.

My computer keeps rebooting in the middle of the flight, so I know it isn't Squawkbox or SBRelay or FS itself....

I just submitted the video for the check flight I just finished. I finally figured out what I was doing wrong with regards to the submittal, and this time it finally worked.

Good Luck Stewart,
The MD80 test is a little challenging, I have to read up on it a little more, and take it.

Which one, the F/O or C/N test?
The F/O test was easy. Now if I could just pass the bloody B737 F/O test, I'll be a happy man indeed.
