My word, Joe - that's an interesting portal. Did you follow any of the links? Ouch! BTW, I allers thort Mirtlie had too Tee's? Cheers - Dai.

How's about: Ciao - Dai.

Just a Heads Up to let you know that DC Airways will be organising their annual World Rally later this month. Here's the link: http://dc3airways.com/special_events/wr_2011/welcome.htm You don't have to be a member of DC Airways to join in. Andrew and I will be taking part - we'll post some screenshots... Why not join us? I'm not sure if Norm will accept a Team Mutley entry - if anyone's interested, I'll make the necessary enquiries... Cheers - Dai.

No worries, Finn - I enjoyed making it! And thanks for the kind comment, Urik!. Kassiuta - Dai.

Hi Riyker, Welcome Aboard! Where do those Geeks get the moolah, eh? Cheers - Dai.

Thanks, Tim - I think I'm getting the gist. My problem is, as you say, when you've got a compass in your hand. Which way is positive/negative - to the east or to the west? And here's another Magnetic Declination image - from 1995: This also shows northern Finland as positive, so do I automatically 'negate' the value, as in Joe's original airport plate, and make the minus 6.1 into plus 6.1? Doh! Cheers - Dai.

Great Highball shot, Chuck - eclipsed by Upkeep and Chastise - a forgotten Wallis jem, eh? Cheers - Dai.

Joe's Guess the Airport clues for Z11D included a magnetic Variation of - 6.1 degrees (negative). Here's the edited airport plate: I wasn't sure where negative Magnetic Variations were, other than in Greenland, so I looked it up. Here's a nice image showing its distribution worldwide: The red lines are positive and blue lines negative. So I was surprised when the answer came up in Finland! What does Plan-G say, I thought. Well, Z11D comes up like this: Magnetic Variation at Z11D is 7.4 East - positive or negative? So, what do you think? I'm confused - can you help? Cheers - Dai.

If you have the Narsarsuaq-X scenery, you may be interested in flying the Nanortalik Shuttle mission, which you'll find in the Download Section of the Forum. If you do - let me know what you think and post some screenshots if you can. Enjoy... Cheers - Dai.

So, love at first sight, eh? Hope Emma's O.K. with that... Tidy Review, Rob - if anything were to tempt me away from Ms Dizzie, I guess this Baby would do the trick. Cheers - Dai.

Here's a requiem for the 2-D Panel... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWsJcg-g1pg Well, it's not Aerosmith (Don't Go There! - Ed). Cheers - Dai.

What, not even the Mini Panel with guages at the bottom of the screen? Cheers - Dai.

Have a look here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dgOUUmdxFh0 I don't use Gimp - but the tutorial might give you a start... Cheers - Dai.

Go on, Joe - let's have a video clue - how's about Hotel California?!? The magnetic deviation narrows it down a bit - well, to 3 continents, anyway! Cheers - Dai.

Look in the aircraft's xxx\panel\panel.cfg file, Wyatt - there may not be a 2-D panel. The trend is towards VC (3-D) panels only... Cheers - Dai.

If you're interested and haven't got Air Hauler yet, Just Flight are offering box or download at only £10.00. Here's the link: http://www.justflight.com/product.asp?pid=392 Cheers - Dai.

Wyatt - that's a neat way of displaying your flight plan. Hope you didn't mind, but I expanded the IFRAME size so that the flight path was more visible! I'll put my own favourite plan up in the same format. Cheers - Dai.

Brill, Bri' - great find! Here's a bit more: Cheers - Dai.

You know I lead a very secluded life - only the odd air ambulance brings me news of the outside world... A couple of months ago, our son (another Dai) sent me a hyper-link to the Hitler spoof video in which he's told his surf board won't be ready for his trip to Bali. In it, the sub-title reads " ...and I'm hitting Indo without a decent gun?" - this is followed by an outpouring of abuse - all in sub-titles, of course. Being an ex-surfer, I found the video funny enough to laugh out loud - even Pam found it amusing. However, it did contain strong language and, of course, wouldn't be funny to an

Narsarsuaq-X is a section of Ulrik's Greenland-X, which, eventually, will cover the whole of Greenland. So, if the adjoining sections are not available - or you've not got them installed/activated - then there will be discontinuities. As you say, Micke, these can be pretty horrible/amusing - depends on your mood! Thanks for your comments - appreciated! Cheers - Dai.

Rob's GAAR Team-Mutley textures for JF/AH DC-3, now in Download section... Cheers - Dai.

Watch yourself on Las Ramblas, Micke! Especially the statues... Cheers - Dai.

Hi Phil Nice to hear from you - enjoy the new year! Thnaks for the photo's... Cheers - Dai.

Even the deputy SNP has a fishy name - I smell a rat!?! Make it difficult, Bri'. Cheers - Dai.

Wyatt, that's maybe because the GAAR (Great Australian Air Rally) finished a few months ago, so we probably won't use the repaint 'til next year. If you really would like the texture, then I'm sure Joe will oblige... Did you take part in GAAR or GARSA? Andrew's Rallies are really good fun. Cheers - Dai.
