Woah! guys, sorry I just reread what I posted ... I sound like a two year old that lost their ice cream cone, I am sorry for that, I didn't mean to come across like that. John, thanks, I musta transposed min/max , yes the MSA is the MEF plus a few,(in non-mountainous terrain its 1000 ft clearance, mountainous its 2000 ft.) Brian, my musings are USA-centric... that's the only place I have flown Although JeppCharts/View is worldwide.

That is an MEF (Maximum Elevation Figure), MSA (Minimum Safe/Sector Altitude) is on approach plates, the number you have circled on a Low enroute chart is called an OROCA (Off Route Obstacle Clearance Altitude)

RC4 is the way to go... it totally changes the experience, also you can IFR train with it and it makes you fly the published missed. One thing I will all ATC client would have is the ability to say unable or to reroute you for a myriad of reasons, the real world does it, aren't we trying to emulate that?

I agree with Kasper, there is a reason the FAA has a dispatcher written and practical test. They and the PIC sign the dotted line when it comes to peoples safety. An EFB (Electronic Flight Bag) should never, ever, ever be used as a preflight planning tool. Use Foreflight to plan your route, get the weather from NOAA, get a briefing from DUATS, do the weight and balance, get the winds aloft and use them to figure out an altitude, use JeppView for the charts. Everyone strives for realism and the most intense/immersive sim experience you can get. Fly with an OBS, forget the FMC/FMS

GPS 36, GPS 18, NDB 18 AWOS: 120.82 CTAF: 122.8 Approach Control: 118.9

round these parts... hwy 22 is known as the ol' 20 ha, no idea where 27 is

Hey John could I talk you into creating a diagram for the airport as it is in real life? I would like to have something that shows the parallel taxiway for pilots/students to have in hand...

PLUS it was extended nearly 1000 ft, two new T-hangers were built, a fully parallel taxiway was installed... on and on... to the tune of $15 million fed money FOR THIS AIRPORT ALONE!

Its now 18/36 and 5,500 ft. with GPS approaches at both ends

Yessir and thank you... come visit if you are ever in the area. I know there are limited reasons one's travel would bring them anywhere near Iowa, but the offer is open

Just curious how you installed the pitot cover BEFORE you killed the engine, that would take some skill

Just got word that I have been named the new airport manager effective August 1. I am super excited and I figured I would share the good news with my e-friends!

Only one problem with retirement... You never get a day off

REX and Opus for weather

Sibwings AN-2 and thanks! britfrog - thats what makes it interesting, I will report back after some experience with it, right now it takes me 3-5 tries to get the engine started

With a good edit, you cannot tell anything was changed... these ALL fit in that category! Nice work.

This ol' girl just stole my heart! I love that it does not start every time the first time, sometimes shes a little cranky and you have to give 'er a little fuel... Now she is my go-to girl in AirHauler, 2900 lbs with full fuel ain't too shabby!

By staggering, I mean hauling ass out of there in style only like an art deco style airplane can

Aerosoft?

I see... I misunderstood your comment, I still think the Legacy would look nice in either of those schemes

Here is what their toys really look like or The Legacy would wear this scheme well!

All I can say with these high end addons.... is RTFM, really, it helps, I couldn't figure out how to insert a SID or STAR and then I read the manual and presto! I could do it

Screw the scenery... I want the repaint! I still believe New Mexico is what God created after he made the rest of the world and those were the bits he had leftover. My parents live just NE of 0E0 if you are in the area...

Excellent! REX makes FSX into a whole nother experience. REX and Opus are a match made in heaven.

First flight into KLAX for the day
