Nice stuff Ardy
Done very well to get photos in such a short space of time and on a VFR trip as well! Ardy is built with 3 eyes believe or not guys

Great stuff there mut! Sure looks busy, with you taking over the airports ops
Do you think you could give a slot for a landing and T/O to the wee welshman so I can at least get into Mutley airport tommorow, otherwise ill have to chuck you into a kennel for the week

Great shots there!
Some great traffic that ive yet to see at any airport ive visited
AT JOHN- The reason the BAE 146 has this spoiler on the back of the fueselage is so that it creates no noise with reverse thrust engines to slow it down. This is one of the main reasons it flies out of London city due to being quiet, to prevent noise pollution to the surrounding area.

If I remember correctly this is the 2nd time in the space of a few weeks has been closed due to problems.First and aircraft came in with a hard landing damaging the gear and now the BAE 146 has closed it with an un-rectracable gear!
LCY is now open

Whats now starting to worry me is that my uncle is an instructor based at St.Athan with the Cadets, although doubt he was aboard one of craft as we would have been notified by now

My grandad lives in Porthcawl, and it has to be said that its one of these places you would least expect an air crash.
Judging by the wreck of the crash, im pretty sure all onboard are dead.

Superb shots Dai!
Great commentary as well
-
We should never distract a welshman from their duties ey mut!
I suspect maybe dai's tractor is broken in the snow and taken up sheep racing as his local sport

Dont think ive actually seen snow this much! Normally I see it in the news and its all up north, but have to agree quite alot of snow for the south east. Another wave of snow due to hit on friday. So mutters, you better stay in your kennel and keep warm :great:

I shall try and get a 3rd shot done some time.

A picture I managed to get this morning.

Luton is shut.
-
LGW finnaly reopened at 10:00pm as it once was scheduled. LHR however has one of its runways shut.
-
Gatwick is closed at least till midnight. Situation started at 19:20 when the de-ice couldnt lift the ice on the runway up. Anti-ice has been put down all day but despite this its done nothing. ATC reported airport will open at 21:15 which then got put to 10:00 which has now been put upto 00:00. This is the second time this has happend within a 30 day period. The same thing happend when the de-ice for the runway froze to it. Surely Gatwicks airfield ops unit would have been more aware of this situation seing the effects first hand last time round in early January. According to my dad and indeed myself say that their equipment is none the less out of date. Infact some of their staff when I was doing work experience said to me " We have theese snow ploughs, grinders, anti icer trucks, but havnt had to use them frequently enough to use them, and thefore BAA havnt seen the need to update them to their latest"
Ill try and get some shots in the morning muters

This is what this forum is all about- helping fellow simmers.
Everyone here was in your position once, not having a clue what everything did but now most of us are landing our planes without touching the joystick.
"why dosnt ATC work in multiplayer?"
I did respond further up the topic. However I shall put in more basic terms. It simply dosnt work in multiplayer. I have yet to found out why, but Ive not been on multiplayer for so long I dont really care about not having ATC.
If you think the GPS is hard, wait till you start programming the FMC (Flight Managment Computer). This is a feature that most airliners have today, and are able to program their routes, fuel and alitude on this small computer. Although this is highly complex. I have included the image below and shall try to explain what each one does.
on the top right hand side you have the letters "RNG" with arrows above and below it. This can change the zoom level of the map. The top arrows zooms out and the bottom one zooms in .
The button below that enables you to enter and airport ICAO code (every airport has one) or the name of the airport. To find your way to an airport of your choice, push this button. You then come up with a screen. If you look at the bottom right of the GPS you see two knobs. Both of which have arrows on. Click the right arrow that is on the top knob. Now enter your airports ICAO code. If you dont know what the code is then click this link and type in the airport you wish to visit-
Top right you have "DIS" which is distance to go in Nautical miles.

Although the aerosoft version is highly detailed I did suffer quite a drop in FPS. Having got the Heathrow Xtreme for free in there video competition, I quickly went to try it out! Overall i think its better on FPS than aerosoft on frame rates despite not having the extra detail. Although Garys scenerys are meant to cater for all pcs.

Glad to be of help

Hi, welcome to the forum
Im assuming that this could be a sort of mulitplayer play if your flying with your buddys.
If this is the case then ATC dosnt work in multiplayer for some odd reason. Think of it as them "going on strike"
