Naturally.. he probably would have mutinied if he'd got the veggie version. Mind you, I did make him eat it before he came on board Reckon I might be.. I can see why you're all hooked on it !

Thanks guys I have to take my hat off to everyone who does the ATWC. ..it's a lot of work but very satisfying! Photobucket was a total pig last night..never had it run soooo slooooow Definitely picked up some good tips on how to make it easier next time

Thanks Joe What is it they say... its not the destination, its how you got there. This PIREP I will remember as not only my first one, but a testament to the camaraderie, support and spirit of the Hangar.. [those of you who have helped me get this far know who you are] Ps. I now HATE Photob0x ! How long did it take me to paste all those pics ! Minx

I’d been out in Texas for a few days helping out a friend with some crop dusting so Kieran’s arrival with the baton was perfect timing… I was beginning to get a bit tired of the same set of corn fields.. Pecos has a colourful Army Air Force history being one of 5 major training fields which was set up after the Pearl Harbour attack I stopped into Alfredo’s Mexican for some takeaway vegetarian enchiladas before heading over to Pecos airport to meet Kieran. I’d been commissioned to fly an old Beech C-45 Expeditor to Waco (home of the legendary Dr Pepper drink), for a WW2 veterans reunion. M

Great PIREP Kieran Those Dart engines take me back to my younger days (just a few years.... ) Gonna be a tough act to follow the Viscount.. beautiful bird

Great shot Tom. A worthy winner (hope you're feeling better now.. if not, i hear that flight simming helps cure any illness )

I'm jealous Chris.. Being an avid fan of Peter Dowson, I'm gutted I didn't see him when I was at the show. That's one guy who's hand I would like to shake! Was a cracking show, definitely. Really enjoyed seeing Joe and the gang, and finally meeting Jess. Looks like I might be going solo myself next time.. not sure I can persuade the Huz and his parents to go around the museum for 4 hours again..

Glad that you got things sorted out. Happy flying ☺

Hi Paul Welcome to mutleys! A little bit of twitching is common with contollers (I have one ultra sensitive throttle lever), but what you have is definitely excessive. I agree with all of John's recommendations, and would like to suggest a few others, but a couple of important questions first: 1. John asked if you are using a paid version of FSUIPC -definitely need to know if you are or not 2. Do you have any saitek software installed - did you use the discs that came with the hardware/download the drivers? If you do, do you have profiles set up 3. How many controllers do you have and wh

Hi all.. the northern route is up.https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=zJoGZd3-Qg5U.k9_QAWQWnmes According to Twitter the vulcanised I'll be going counter clockwise

Some nice looking aircraft there. I've not tried Alabeo before but just noticed they have an AGTruck...always reminds me of Jay Prochnow's epic flight from Pago Pago to Norfolk Island where he became hopelessly lost in the Pacific and was guided to safety by a tenacious Air New Zealand crew. Might have to count my pennies out..

I noticed that puddle too..very clever of the developers to include them as it adds so much to the whole sense of realism. Thanks for sharing

Great video Ange(L) I can imagine sunbathing on that beach when those two flew overhead..jeez, that was low! Thanks for sharing

It's a fantastic set up he has there. I rarely fly at night but I might allow myself to be converted after seeing it

Awesome cockpit and scenery. I could spend hours in there. And for all budding P47 thunderbolt pilots, there is some very useful tips in this 1943 instruction video. Keep your eye on the ball guys

Was great to meet you too! Looks like everyone had a fantastic day. The cake was ź as a stunning slice of decadence and deliciousness.. Thumbs up to Lynda for making a great bake. I cook most weeks so it will be nice to try something new.

Ps. Joe, I thought the chocolate fudge cake belonged to Needles ! sorry I may have put on a pound (or three) from the experience but was just too good to miss out on... PPs. whoever got the photos of me devouring that cake.. is there a ransom payment for NOT posting?

Cracking show this year! Luckily, the in-laws were being shown the splendours of the RAF Cosford museum, courtesy of my wonderful husband, while I got to get my Flight Sim fix for 4 hours.. worked out extremely well, I would say. Here are a few more photos of the day for those who didn't manage to make it.. Word to the wise about the first few.. no, you haven't been drinking [or have you?]..they are all taken in panoramic mode Got chatting to some guys at one of the stands which had an 'in progress' A320 project. It seems that Flight Sim is an emerging mark

Top day at Cosford. Great to see everyone. I'll post the photos when I get back home. @Jess - don't forget to pm me with the recipe for Needles' cake. That was so worth the calories!

Cool Will be great to see you again! After all, it was your personal recommendation that prompted me to join the Hangar in the first place

Kevin, If you're looking to lighten your bookshelf, happy to help with that. Are you going to Cosford? If not PM me and I'll organise some dosh. Re Flying School, I bought it a few years back and its great for testing approaches. You can set it to random and practice approaching at any time of day, at any airport and with or without aids. Its not the same sort of challenge as the fsx missions as you still need to plan a route to be marked on it, but I like having someone next to me critiquing... I would give it a thumbs up, but I would say I dont use it that often. Its more of a piece of sof

What a great idea for a new thread! Loving the 60s -80s scenery and choice of aircraft too. Can't wait for the next installment

Nice one Pete Great pics..looks like your set up is sweet

MOSHING ... fun past time for live music crowds

With Christopher on that one. Looks like you've picked a good spot there Joe.. looking forward to it
