Microsoft Flight Sim Discussion
Slartibartfast replied to Rambler 1-1's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator
Me I love the old Prop heavies and if its got a boat shaped hull attached even more so I have the Catalina and the Hu-16 addons, also the older Jetliners like the DC-10 and also some of the smaller newer jets like the Embraers... Along with most of the Turboprops. I rarely fly for over 2 hours but I do use the speed increase as of FSX it runs to x16 with the Autopilot if I am flying an Airhauler flight... But as far as I am concerned if it has wings and an engine or 3 I am happy... As to Autoland I must admit I found it by accident... -
I see your art of the subtle is getting to brick through plate glass window level on getting a Snipe in to OFF... It should be in just because of your persistence you are planning on wearing them down...

A game is a game is a game... but some people do not see that they think it will corrupt the youth etc etc and then say its okay to build a mosque at ground zero stating that it is there human rights that will be corrupted... etc etc etc... sorry not trying to get political but somedays certain groups of people infuriate me...

Microsoft Flight Sim Discussion

Must admit I have an updated CV580 as well as the baby CV240 in my collection and I love using them for the Air Hauler Addon I have... they are good birds to fly... And I am with you on the 737-whatevers... I don't fly them at all... But I love flying old world props and CalClassic is a good site to get airplanes of vintage from... Also I prefer flying in the Mountains (Nepal or similar) or over Alaska so some of the little planes have a few problems also as I use real weather icing can get to be an issue... I still remember my first full VFR Flight in 2004 (I dont count early than that as the weather wasn't too great until 2004) god what a nightmare JFK to Seattle with a fully laden DC-10. Take off in heavy rain climb up to 35000ft and then landing through a snow storm with a full automated ILS landing had to otherwise no way was I landing that bird... It was rather how should I say this FOGGY!!! I think I could just make out the field at around 2000ft forward and down vis... for my first autoland it went pretty smooth... The DC-10 was an SGA one I think... been a few years... but ever since then on flights if the aircraft has autoland I set-up for it just in case most times I run the ILS in and land manual but there have been times landing in fog that its come in handy... -

Microsoft Flight Sim Discussion
Slartibartfast replied to Rambler 1-1's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator
Okay I use FSX but I have owned MS Flight sim since the mid 80's back when there was a WW1 simulator in it... As to what addons I have quite a lot ranging from about 150 Aircraft give or take 20... I have a freight mod forgotten what its called now... Best advice I have on the old Jenny but its been awhile is I find a slow increase in throttle and make sure your counteracting with rudder until you reach full power you should find though that you can take off with around 80% power... Also remember that if there is any wind involved unless its straight on is going to give you problems... With the old Tail draggers I rarely use full power on take off once in the air at about 30feet I generally find I am at full power then so there is no issues... Only time I have problems like above is when taking off at altitude... -

That F-8 looks like it wants to eat the deck on landing...
