Welcome to Flying'sCool! ::
Our mission is to introduce children and adults to flying using flight simulation and other innovative multi-media tools through classes with hands on experience, educational enrichment programs for schools, and eLearning products for use at home. Our goal is to use the natural fascination people have for flying as a tool for education.

"Education is not the filling of a bucket,
      but the lighting of a fire." - W.B. Yeats

Looking for a local MSFS User Group?!
I'm beginning to put together the a user group centered around the Nashua, NH/Acton, MA area. I'm planning on putting together a multiplayer server with procedures and ATC staffing for KASH/KMHT/KBOS and other airports in the area, user group meetings, tournaments, a newletter, and other helpful tools. Go to the forum and let me know if you are interested and what you would like to see in such an organization.

Microsoft FSX is on the Shelves!
The new version of Microsoft Flight Simulator, Flight Simulator X is now available!  While FS2004 was best after adding a bunch of addons, FSX is awesome right out of the box.  Head on over to Gamespot and check out the screenshots.  Order your copy here today!

If you already have FSX, I highly recommend getting the latest update to the program over at FSInsider which will give you 20% to 100% improvement in performance.  I also recommend a minimum of 2GB of memory in your computer. If you have any questions, come ask at my forums.
