2 pointsHi guys! Recently I happened to meet in the air with an Elephant (in other words - Geezer's Martinside G.100), and I saw that his Rotherham fuel pump is still motionless. Why do not we make it work? Use the simplest method by which we revived the Camel's fuel pump. Open the data file with Notepad. Find a [Fuselage] section and add the string SystemName[001]=InternalGun1 SystemName[002]=LeftMainGear SystemName[003]=RightMainGear SystemName[004]=MainFuelTank SystemName[005]=Pilot SystemName[006]=RearGunner SystemName[007]=MachineGun SystemName[008]=BombRackE SystemName[009]=BombRackF SystemName[010]=BombRackG SystemName[011]=BombRackH SystemName[012]=FuelPump <------------------------------------------------ Add this entry RemoveNode[001]=Fuselage DetachNode[001]=Wing Lower middle L DetachNode[002]=Wires L DetachNode[003]=Wing Lower middle R DetachNode[004]=Wires R DetachNode[005]=Tail Then scroll down and in the Engines section, add the following entry [FuelPump] ReferenceName=Rotherham_fuel_pump SystemType=PROP_ENGINE InputName=THROTTLE_CONTROL EngineID=2 SLPowerDry=60.0 ThrustAngles=0.0,0.0,0.0 ThrustPosition=0.0,0,0.0,0.0 //ThrottleRate=0.5 ThrottleRate=0.7 AltitudeTableNumData=14 AltitudeTableDeltaX= 514.4 AltitudeTableStartX=0.0 AltitudeTableData= 1.000,0.975,0.854,0.700,0.590,0.457,0.361,0.279,0.209,0.185,0.095,0.050,0.015,0.000 SpinnerNodeName=RotherhamShaft StaticPropNodeName=RotherhamProp SlowPropNodeName=RotherhamProp FastPropNodeName=RotherhamProp SlowPropRPM=2200 FastPropRPM=3800 MaxPropRPM=4500 IdlePropRPM=1600 BSFC=0.00001 MinExtentPosition=-0.43, 0.74,-0.54 MaxExtentPosition=-0.50, 0.65,-0.60 ConstantSpeed=FALSE NumBlades=2 PropDiameter=0.25 Save the changes, and as a result you get a 'working' fuel pump. The same should be done with the MartinsydeG102_DATA.ini.

1 pointOkay so I often wondered if stuff went south on a flight. Can a passenger land the plane? One a big plane like hopefully there's a pilot qualified for the job if such a bizarre event occurred. I did come a cross an article once where there was a B-2 pilot on board such a flight where the pilot had heart attack and the co-pilot while inexperienced sought some help. Flight attendants were quietly asking if someone were a pilot. Which is how the B2 Pilot wound up in the cockpit. In the interview he mentioned that she was more familiar with the aircraft and after a women it was determined that she knew more than she thought and was able to land the aircraft. As much as I love playing various flight sims that range from DCS to MFSX I know full well there's a big freaking difference from a simulation and the real deal. Personally I've been in a few small aircraft IRL, a Cessna 375 twice, a Bell 206 once, DC-10, and a hot air balloon that was tethered, I did sit the cockpit of a C-5 though. Anyway that's limited flight experience. (the reason why my love of aviation is the way it is) Sorry for getting side tracked. The point is while I'm familiar with the basics of how things should work I often wondered how things would actually work out if such a nightmare were to occur. Then I saw this video which kind of answered the question. I say kind of because there are other variables I'm wanting to know about. If you haven't seen it already take a look. It's a pilot instructing someone, in a simulated environment, on how land the aircraft using the autopilot feature onboard the aircraft. I look forward to knowing your thoughts.

1 pointInteresting that if you could talk to someone who could keep their cool they could potentially land it without having to actually fly it. Ted Striker never had an autopilot system like that!

1 pointSee you on the other side McCain. He was a great guy. I had the pleasure of meeting him 25 years ago when I worked for Flagstaff. He was in it for the people and the country and not fame and fortune. Sad that the NITH is disrespecting him by not keeping the flag lowered or issuing a proclamation.

1 pointNice day for a trip into some hostile territory. Not the best time to try to get airborne though. Sqn mates burning in the distance...reduced to MiG spare parts...airbase blown up.. Heading home for some coffee..
