The wording on the home page gives the impression that DVA is only for pilots using Microsoft's Flight Simulator but the Pilots Manual states that pilots may use any flight simulator. I think it would be a good idea to word the home page differently as to now scare off some potential pilots.

Also, on that topic, it would be a good idea to track what type and version of flight simulators all the DVA pilots are using.

I know that when you file a PiRep, you have to select the version of FS you are using, however it is specific to MSFS. Maybe this is something that Management can look into.

Best Regards.

There is an 'Other' button as well. All of my PIREPS are filed as 'Other' for the flight sim.

Good thing to think about! What FS are you using if I may ask?

I'm using X-Plane right now. Are there any other simulators besides MSFS and X-Plane?

Yep, there are tons of them out there. Once I get a Mac, I plan to get X-Plane.

I think it's a good idea in the comments section to put the flightsim if it's not one of Micro$ux (if you don't already).
