Hope the MEBAR 2020 does happen... look forward to it each year... Hoping for an update

Hi Andrew, Nice analysis of leg 1. I didn't expect someone/anyone to be doing sightseeing between sectors but after thinking about it looks like the way to go... (I might just try something like this for a change of pace...) Being the PIC I guess it is all okay as long as you get to the targets on the allotted time. Look forward to the rally every year. Keep'em flying... Gunk

Good subject.... Flew in this plane in Korea in 1952-53 and just can't say enough about how good is was/is... Thanks for the screens. Gunk

Those gauges mentioned look good and I will try the SALS... I also use the NEWGPS v6 and it has most everything talked about above except the icing and SALS. For the NEWGPS just do a search for gps6.zip. This gauge is a popup and can be used in addition to the default gps 500 or as a replacement. Thanks to the MEBAR crew for a fine rally again this year.

Yes it is a fine looking airplane. I was a boom-operator on the G model in 1953-55 and the KB-29 prior to getting the KC-97s. Before the added jet engines our refueling of the B-47s, and other fighter jets, were done while in a steady descent during connect. For me that was some close formation flying. Those "jet jockeys" were really good flyers. The only thing missing is the diagonal SAC stripe around the fuselage. Thanks for the pics... brings back memories.

Hi All Always interested in a good flight ... Flew you Flight Plan #17 Arusha to Kilimanjaro and return to HTKJ. I only had default FSX scenery but that might be good for a comparison. Here are some pics for easy viewing. For Information only: The flight plan loaded fine in Plan G and was okay in FSX the first few waypoints then it took off to who knows where. Will check it to see if I can find the problem... Thanks Tim A. for the Flight Plans and look for future routes in the soon. Sim Buddy, Gunk/Wayne

Hey Dai, If you still need testers... count me in. Sim Buddy, Gunk

UK2000, when releasing their VFR Airfields series in three volumes for FSX also made available three free Demos to promote them. Each demo contains a subset of the airfields in the payware package and each airfield in the demos contains some of the features of the full package. Despite containing less than the entire set of payware features, this is pretty spectacular scenery. The free demos are available in three separate downloads at… http://www.uk2000scenery.com/vfrairfields/index.html Since everyone has access to the DEMO files for VFR2000 Scenery I thought it might be helpful if ther

Here is an easy way to convert FS9 to FSX or FSX to FS9 and it is a fine freeware program called Plan-G. You can generate a flight plan in Plan G and the save it to either FS9 or FSX. I prefer to generate the plan if Plan G as you can specify waypoints and even add User Airports/NDB/VOR etc(I have only used the User Airport function but I am sure the other options are there. Another advantage is that Plan G can be running along with FS9 or FSX and if you have a second screen you rarely have to go back to the primary screen. Just Google Plan G, download, install and enjoy. Gunk

It does work but make sure when you save the gauges file you save the Digital Folder that contains the guage. The rest of the directions are pretty straight forward. I, and some of my other sim buddies have had succes except for the default Beech Baron... Hope this helps, Gunk

The problem was I was trying to run the program WITHOUT putting the files in my FLIGHT SIMULATOR X FILES folder. After I unzipped the files I then moved (copy/pasted) them in the correct location and then when I clicked on the .FLT file everything worked fine. Sorry you had the problem but I hope this fixes it for you. Gunk

HI am leaving EGKK in my Dornier Seastar after my timing test ... Glad you allowed turbo props as this one is a jewel... Gunk

I downloaded the files for FSX and tried to extract them... This worked okay... When I try to load leg 1 it says it has launched FSX and it FSX goes thru the motions... BUT FSX screens never appear. Trying to start FSX from the shortcut states that FSX is already running. When I try to open the MEBAR 2011-Flight leg 1 (FLT) file get an error stating that the file is corrupt or was part of an e-mail attachment... which it was not. Tried this twice with the same results. Ther error message also states that it is not a supported file type or it haas been damaged. I ususlly download .flt and
