go to dish network and use there internet connection?


I can find nothing on Dish Network's website for satellite
internet. They do offer a discount for Earthlink DSL or
dial-up if you have their satellite TV service.

There is DirecWay from DirecTV, but it's $600 up front for
equipment, and $100/month for the first 15 months (required
service agreement) then drops to $70/month. No thanks.

No problem, I was looking for the G1000 manuals, they have
them for everything, Mooney, Beech, Cessna, a hundred PDF
files free to download. Love the cable, used FreshDownload
to get then all while I was taking a shower, give yourself a
few hours if on DSL and a week on dial-up. But they look
very useful.

They even have the simulator/trainer for purchase (~$3.99) -

the requirements for the simulator are not light.
1.8 Ghz processor and the more ram the better. 1280 X 1024 Screen.
Dual screen mode (PFD/MFD on separate monitors) is not supported. I
asked and tried.

I haven't ventured into IFR or instrument rating yet, VFR only. This
will be a great way to start!

Thank you both Peter and Jim. :^)

Michelle,

Is it a download once you pay ... or do they ship a disc?

Don't suppose they'd consider doing it the other way around would they?

Ship a disc wrapped in an airplane?

:O)

You're welcome.

Thank you again.

Let me know if there are any other manuals you're looking for.


Much appreciated. That's enough on my plate for now, a lot of
digesting to do already. :^)

Google is your friend. (so is a vendors search function)


Somtimes, but for some, such as myself, even Google is frightening.

Amazingly, I cannot get DSL or cable where I live - north Orange

What about satellite dish?

Darn, I have a 1.7 GHz Celeron. But I can buy a P4 478
socket 2.8 GHz chip if I needed to.
