Strange though it may seem to many here at Mutley's there were a couple of things I had never dabbled with in the world of flight sims so I figured I would capture them for posterity. I would also invite others to post their virginal experiences in this topic. At this point I would like to point out that there was absolutey zero reading or research carried out pre-flight which coming from a person who reads the covers off 170 page A2A manuals is some going. This was nothing more complex than a auto-start and see what happens next. The first was to take up the Just Flight 757 as I had never p

No mate I'm sticking with standard FSX down in Africa as I don't think it's an area I will fly regularly - plus I'm not having you spend more of my cash Thanks Kieron - I have to say I've loved every minute of this trip so far - the big old B-17 is an absolute joy to fly - thorougjly enjoyed myself.

Very nice Bill - don't get too near them bridges mind, you'll have the River Police out after you.

Something else you made me buy - well that's what I told the Mrs

Another great set of shots Alan. Looks like a real beast, how does it handle? Good job

Excellent job Sam, I've enjoyed your little project.

Phew at last - something I haven't been blamed for All very nice and cute, whick of course is nothing like you Nice shots mate well done. I think I have this but not the addons Not sure about this big passenger jet stuff, maybe I should dabble - just a little.

Second Leg - Friday 25th November 2011 After a couple of days we all felt our culture levels were maxed out and decided upon an early start to the next leg of the tour. Cases packed we headed back to San Giusto Airport to have one last look at the Hippos before heading South. Leg 2 was to take us over Corsica and Sardinia before heading down into Tunisia. We'd left our beautiful "Heaven Sent" all prepared and ready to go so after obtaining clearance the sun was barely up as we leave LIRP Sunrising as we look out over Elba - wonder if Napolean is still there? Corsica quickly looms

First Leg Update Well after arriving in Pisa on Wednesday the boys and myself decided to stay over and sample more of the food and wine. We made the short journey into the centre of Pisa to find somewhere to stay. After a few enquiries we happened across the Hotel Bologna which appeared to be a rather charming four star hotel in the midle of Pisa. It was equipped with all comforts: free internet points, free Wi-Fi, Sat-TV and room service. It seemed ideal for a spot of sightseeing plus the obligatory food and drink. After sorting all of the domestic arrangements we decided that given th

This video is worth watching for educational purposes alone - even if you never intend to fly an A2A aircraft - although quite why you wouldn't want to fly one is beyond me :rofl: :rofl: I know I'm a huge fan but what these guys do in terms of modelling aircraft behaviour is absolutely fantastic

Nice shots Alan, i love the picnic under the wing

Superb shots Stu - good job

Nice shots, good scenery and good looking aircraft, what more can you ask. Good job Graham. PS at least the "nutter" has a choice of props now :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Over Sardinia at the minute on the second leg of my Christmas Tour

Well .......... given all the ale consumed on the Real Ale Tour I decided to consider a venue for Chrismas Lunch. After all there was to be no pre-festivities dieting in this household, I mean what are New Years resolutions there for anyway. After some debate (yes I talk to myself) and considering different ideas about around the world travel and various other travel plans I decided to head for a sunnier climate. The choice of South Africa was a little strange even to myself, primarily because I don't really do long haul flights, throw into the mix that I don't fly Jets and the choice becom

A very nice tour around the scenery Jim, I may have to add the Australia scenery to the list for Santa Claus

Brilliant shots Joe - your scenery looks superb, real top quality pics

Very nice shots Bill, hope you are enjoying your new bird. The North Sea is a bit chilly for landing one of those though, need to move somewhere a bit warmer

Great shots Jim, very nice flight

Love these shots Stu but the complexity of these aircraft would freak me out - back to the B-17

Good start - the old saying "from little acorns great oak trees grow" - something like that anyway

Nice job Jim, I assume you've dabbled with this sort of stuff before as it seems quite daunting to a novice. Excellent work

Super story John, thanks for posting

Indeed the journey was only part complete. The light was fading fast so it was a case of "don't spare the horses driver" in the taxi back to Wigtown to pick up the Caravan. Home beckoned and as you'd expect one last brew to bring the journey to a fitting end. The crates were quickly loaded into the caravan and pre-flight checks completed in record time. Ready for the off but the light and the weather are looking very ominous indeed. A very mixed bag of weather awaited - wonder whether the weather will be fair or foul Over Dumfries with the street lights already starting to twinkle Th

3D all the way for me too. The 3D - TrackIR combination I find to be a way more realistic flying experience. I don't fly big jets though so can't comment on the big birds
