Olham 164 Posted February 27, 2011 Great - after three days of packing things, moving furniture, cleaning and stuff, I found time and a rig to come here. I'm still in Norden until thursday, but will look in here occasionally. Can't be without you all for long, until I begin to miss you. Now let me see what we have today...

TaillyHo 2 Posted February 28, 2011 Ah, what a resourceful fellow you are, Olham! Surely, if you can't be flying the unfriendly skies of OFF, then keeping up with life on the forum is the next best thing. (or perhaps a nice cup of sweet, black tea instead!)

Olham 164 Posted March 2, 2011 We Ostfriesen are drinking a lot of tea indeed! I prefer a blend of best Assams. It is called "black tea", but should be looking golden brownred - hmmm!!!!!! Getting you on the bicycle! Boy, after another week of family and moving stress, I am loooooonging for the cockpit of my Albatros! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TaillyHo 2 Posted March 3, 2011 Brownred colour you say, and would that be before or after you add the rum, my friend?! ps. do you know there is a downloadable 'flight adventure' for FS2004 made by my countryman, Bruce Kennewell, described as follows: FS2004 1926 - East Frisian Islands. Set in 1926, this compact flight sees you flying a Junkers W-33b on your twice-weekly "milk-and-bread" run from Emden and through the islands, including Heligoland (or "Helgoland") before terminating at Borkum, the western-most island in the German Frisian islands. Your flight plan takes you in an anti-clockwise direction and you terminate at Borkum. There is no schedule... if you feel like having a chat with the locals en-route, feel free to do so, just so long as you get to Borkum to pick up the mail before the post office closes. Additional scenery files are required, OSTFR40.ZIP and HELGOL09.ZIP. Also the Junkers Ju-W33b aeroplane by Hauke Keitel and Rolf-Uwe Hochmuth is required, JUW33FS9.ZIP. By Bruce Kennewell. I imagine you'd be disappointed at the spartan rendering of your homeland in FS2004, but if you're interested, you can get it from FlightSim.com Hope all goes well with your mother, and you can be back in your trusty 'Tros again soon.

Olham 164 Posted March 3, 2011 (edited) Brownred without rum - our brew is strong enough without that stuff. I once ordered a "Cornish Cream Tea" in Cornwall, England, and was glad to get a pot with tea of exactly that colour. The waitress also placed another pot with hot milk or water next to it. When she observed, that I filled my whole cup with only the strong brownred brew, she hastened to advise me, that it should be mixed with that hot water or milk, but I said it was okay and great, and drank it like it was, with only a spoonful of cream. She kept observing me all the time, as if she waited for my collapse or explosion. That island tour is funny to hear about. I don't have FSX and don't fly civil sims, but the tour must be looking like this more or less then: Our area is badly documented yet by satelite pics - we don't seem to be of any military interest - and that may be the reason why is is so badly rendered in FSX?
