£115 and it's still not complete (big chunk missing out of the top right corner...) and only 3 airports that are hardly "VFR"! :icon_yikes: Too rich for my blood, so it'll have to wait till there's a sale

I was wondering that myself!

Very good video. I loved the notion of flashing the street lights at Albury (I have rellies there!) in Morse to tell the plane where it was

Maybe the people that can already run FSX well don't see an advantage, but for those with fewer horses under the hood, what if Flight tapped all that power while only requiring half the grunt... or 2/3... You've suddenly opened up the whole of FSX-level simming - and possibly more - to an awful lot of people that don't have the grunt to run FSX as is. And that must surely be A Good Thing, yes? Of course, it's a big "IF"

I'm guessing the new plane is an RV6 or an RV9.. a Vans RV at any rate. (Vans make *the* best selling kit planes on the planet by a huge factor). The biplane of course is the same Boeing Stearman we've seen before. (Apropos of which, I heard yesterday that Martin Shaw [Judge John Deed, Inspector George Gently, The Professionals etc] has just sold his. It's currently parked up here at Enstone) Bottom line with MSF is, if it (a) better supports modern multicore + DX-whatever hardware and (b) works properly, it doesn't matter that some bits of it still look like FSX, people will flock to it i

In FS, a blocked pitot causes airspeed instantaneously to drop to zero. But in a real plane it will start to overread slightly, and behave as if it was an altimiter (ie indicated speed increases with altitude). I could certainly understand a scenario where a slight increase in indicated speed causes the nose to pitch up to compensate, which causes the plane to climb slightly, which causes the airspeed to read higher, which causes the plane to pitch up more, which causes it to climb, which... and then the overspeed warning goes off, and the stick shaker warns of the impending stall... And sud

Fortunately it was a Cirrus. Had it been an Piper or Cessna, she wouldn't have had that option. There have already been a number of unnecessary deaths this year because--for whatever reason--the pilot didn't pull the chute. Another nice thing about Cirri [bentley, rather than Ferrari, IMHO] and G1000/Entegra glass cockpits in general is that they are much more standardised that the old steam panels, where cockpit layouts and equipment could vary wildy from plane to plane, yet alone type to type. Which makes it a lot easier to talk someone through making a course change and a descent. Reading

And don't forget to check out the reviews link at the top of the page!

I wish they'd just get the rest of Scotland out, and Ireland done, without announcing somewhere else. Their track record is not exactly good when it comes to getting stuff out the door...

You have a goat? That explains why you need the dirt!

Well, they would. If he wasn't in it, why bother to hide it with the bus?

Welcome back

Sweet

Dang, I was expecting something else!

Oi carn't read and oi carn't roite but oi can droive ar tractor. Arrr! (for the non-Brits, read that in a 'pirate voice', which is close enough to the yokel accent)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aIrhVo1WA78 At least he has the courage and PR savvy to, er, hide behind a bus...

Who's eating who? It reminds me of an old episode of Dr Who....

What? When? Why? Where? How?

Kevin Spacey has made an excellent job of running the National for the past few yers... Or Harrison Ford: He owns and flies a Beaver, so can't be all bad!

That looks very impressive

One thing that really bugs me about that show: They keep describing Pilotage (flying by reference to ground features), and calling it 'dead reckoning'. IT'S NOT FREAKING DEAD RECKONING! AAARRGH!!! (dead reckoning involves calculating your position based on time and direction from a known point, ie. navigation by compass and stopwatch)

I think I remember seeing that ad

Yes, I have it; it's rather fun! :biggrin:

Antarctica then. I know Aerosoft have been working on something there since, like, forever...

Not a friendly meeting, from the looks of it!
