Aidan - Andrew, the GAAR organiser, is quite right about the time. If you tooke 48 mins, you must have stopped for a cuppa on the way... We've been given the go ahead for a Team entry, but if you want to continue as an individual that's great. Hopefully, Rob and I will set the Team entry up sometime later today. Cheers - Dai.

That sounds fine Rob - I'll start a new thread for recruitment... Cheers - Dai.

O.K., Tim - how's about a DC-2?!? No, seriously, what do you suggest and we'll get the others to suggest alternativs - or even (!) agree... Cheers - Dai.

Hi All - thanks for the responses. Some thoughts on this: 1. We could possibly treat the GAAR 2011 as one of our Mini Challenges, each of us taking on 1 or more Legs, but we need to consider... 2. GAAR Rules! First off, I think, as a team from the Hangar, we'd all have to fly the same aircraft. Now that might not be a problem - if we can agree on one!! 3. GAAR Rules, again - the PIREP's must be submitted on time, so we need to have commitment, otherwise we'll be slung out (well, almost). 4. I'm not sure, but I think we could choose to fly either FSX or FS9 - so that makes things easier. 5

Welcome to Stornaway, Bri' - enjoy your meal, you deserve it! That red sunrise was a surprise, I bet! Glad you sorted the ILS... Great pics and commentary - keep the standard flying, eh?!? Cheers - Dai. P.S. Young Ms S. is a kitten, really...

Here's the route for GAAR 2011: There are some short strips and the organiser promises some challenging weather conditions. I've registered and would like some company... Cheers - Dai.

May I say, at this jucture, that I am not related to any of the characters... Oh dear - I've just seen the first 10 minutes of episode 1 on BBC iPlayer... Cheers - Dai.

Beam me up, Scotty!! Nice plan - first time I've seen a round trip plan - Plan-G sure is clever, eh? Great pics, too - thanks for sharing, Rob. BTW, did you use Carb Heating... Cheers - Dai. cool:

This is a 10 Leg Tour - it follows a course which starts at Coolangata (YBCG) and continues up the magnificent east coast of Queensland taking in the Great Barrier Reef and surrounding islands and interspersed with deviations inland before finishing in Far North Queensland at Cairns (YBCS). Anyone can participate, but you are limited to using any radial or other piston engined aircraft that flew in the period 1930s to 1950s. Turboprop, turbojet, turbofan and other such engined aircraft are not eligible for entry in the event - but don't let that put you off! More info here And have yoursel

Blwyddyn Newydd Dda Boys-Bach!! Hwyl - Dai.

... Shame - and I was feeling so much younger, too! CHeers - Dai.

That's the luck of the Irish, Chuck!! Cheers - Dai.

Thanks for the HU, Rob - I'm sure that your new FSX DC-2 will be appreciated. And, as young Kieran has already said... Welcome to the Hangar!! Cheers - Dai.

Way to go, Boss - Darren's done good, eh? Cheers - Dai.

Bon Noel, Angel - thanks for sharing! Cheers - Dai.

Joe might mean the following: 1. Create a folder called, say, Standby_Hangar; 2. Look in your ...\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\SimObjects\Airplanes folder, where you will find a folder for each of the aircraft currently in your "Ready for Use" Hangar; 3. Look through these 'Airplane' folders and decide which you need and which you can 'put on the back boiler'; 4. Transfer the 'Airplane' folders you don't need to the 'Standby_Hangar' folder - you can put them back when you want. Basically, reducing the number of aircraft in the 'Ready to Use Hangar' in FSX can make initial loading faster.

Really enjoyed your Review, Mikael - thanks for a great introduction to what looks like an excellent add-on. Cheers - Dai.

Hi Edward Sorry to disagree with you, Boss, but 450 Watts is a bit low - 750 Watts might be a better bet? Also, take a look at what Dell puts into their offerings (i.e. processor, amount of RAM, etc) at around the price you want to pay - that'll give you an idea of what you should be getting for your £370 odd. Oh, and don't forget that the O.S. could take out the £70 at one stroke! Cheers - Dai.

Have a great day young man!! Cheers - Dai.

Grrrr!! :shrug_no: Cheers - Dai.

They did this last year - fantastic - picked up the C130 and B757 titles - sch-yeah!! Guess the Buff won't make the cut but hopefully the 707 will... Thanks for the HU, Chuck!! Cheers - Dai.

Well, 'ddavid' says it all... You will remember the K.I.S.S. acronym? ... Keep It Simple, Stupid! Cheers - Dai.

But where's Mel?!? Cheers - Dai.
