Congrats... and there goes the sleep pattern...

interesting find I think...

Outstanding write up... and its true OFF is addictive... and here I am with another 5 weeks of enforced none flying...

Now that is real nice... that undisclosed Mod is looking good from that one short film... Also quick question what sort of frame rate hit does it get ?

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/08/25/kaman_unmanned_cargo_win/ Looks like Kmax have won and Boeing lost... well until Boeing contest it that is...

Okay with the laser pod make sure its mounted on your Jet then drop your laser guided bombs from about 4 miles out in a shallow dive from around 10000ft and you will most times get a hit on what your aiming at I would say about 80%... For targets you target them in much the same way as a TV guided weapon make sure you can see the target on the radar screen and take it from there... Laser guided Missiles around 10000ft again and about 6 miles... but this is variable on the missile of course...

I love the Uncle Ahab's used Tanks Sign...

I would say its not rocket science but... anythings possible with those engines..

Flaming politicians and the media that rules them...

Err who we talking about again here...

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...

ravenclaw_007 That Bucc is a thing of sheer beauty... makes me want to go find one and hug it but there are none in Austria...

Me thinks it looks like they got rid of everything that MSFS was good for... but we will just have to wait and see...

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-11057330 The RN is undershipped or so this think tank says... hmmm might be more interesting if they told the RN what they didn't know...

Also did you know that the average speed of the Iranian Navy is twice as fast as the USN... http://www.presstv.ir/detail/139770.html I wonder if thats in running away... laugh I almost fell out of my chair... :rofl:

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...

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...

I would love to meet his speech writer or does the Jacketed one do his own Speeches... either way they contradict themselves... I am sure he's just confused... and as has been said makes The Dear Leader somedays appear normal... if thats possible

I vote 3 as well... as it could define your pilot as some one who is feared by all or a gentleman...

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...

Cheers for bringing back a good memory... I had that one once a long time ago it seems now my girlfriend at the time welcoming me back from a not pleasant place... damn that hug I got seemed to go on forever... To all the troops going home may their loved ones give them peace...
