I just saw a video on yourtube with a C208 parked up with the engine off and all the doors open, think that you need to re-check your settings again mate, just in case . Cheer's...Graham... No mate I can do all that. I'm really just trying to work out if there is a setting/settings you can change so the aircraft starts in a cold dark state so I can practise the start up checklists etc. Thanks for the suggestions though I appreciate your input :001_th_smiles89:

Well I've got everything in FSX on maximum realism and it always loads with engine running so I don't think that's it, unless there's something the aircraft settings I have to tweak? Thanks for that I'll take a look :001_th_smiles89:

Once again I fear my own stupidity is getting in the way, however with that as a starting point I’ll ask anyway I’m trying to learn how to fly this aircraft realistically. I can do the auto start, throttle up and off we go bit, I can also fly around a bit and then stick it back on the ground (in a fashion). However I’m struggling to really understand the controls, what they all do, when switches etc should be on/off. I’ve printed and read the checklists but the aircraft doesn’t really seem to have a decent manual as such. I was looking for a guide (possibly with pictures) that basically

Hey Joe isn't there some kind of Canadian Limit, there seems to be a growing trend here

Ah ok, thanks for clarifying that Joe :001_th_smiles89: I'm tempted because the Stadium of Light is in the package but still think it's a little expensive for what it is. Knowing me though it will be one of those things I buy when I've had a glass of wine too many one night :wootmesalia:

Apparently according to the link above Villa Park and StAndrews are in FSX??? Can't confirm that myself. Also this addon requires - which may have an impact on other addons.I'm also not sure about the price!

Well like so many things in life these shots came from a mistake. I started with the intention of taking a short flight from Cork to Shannon via Kerry to show the new Ireland scenery. After loading the flight however I realised that I had it on the dusk setting! I was about to restart when I noticed how dramatic the sky looked and thought what the hell I'll fly anyway. I decided just to do the first leg of my originally planned flight and take the short hop from Cork to kerry. I've included a short video of the "landing" if you can call it that but decided to include it since it's the only

Is there such a thing as a beginners guide to re-paints? Would be useful.

Nice find Graham. I like the US Coast Guard livery. Good shots :001_th_smiles89: And the video ... well .. just wow, I kept thinking where's he going to land and then ... oh a piece of grass I'll stick it there!!!!!! :icon_yikes:

Beautiful shots, reminded me of our holiday up in that area last year, remember looking over at the Cullin Mountains from a little place called Elgol which has the best fish restaurant I've ever visited. Nice flight and lovely scenery. PS How do you display FPS, is this another app?

Yeah that helps I seemed to remember it being down there but I can't for the life of me think why it got moved

Everything from Addon Scenery and lower, i.e the stuff that FSX came with. :001_th_smiles89: EDIT: if you have FSX Acceleration, for Addon Scenery, read Edwards_AFB and below Where should "Default Scenery" be on the list? Mine is above Edwards for some reason!

Yes that helps :001_th_smiles89: Hmmmmm and vice versa I presume, so that now begs the question what scenery do I need running when just flying in the UK. I'll have to have a look and see, it seems I have lots of things checked. Do you know if there are some things that must be running by default?

As I'm still a fledgling FSX Pilot I don't have lots of scenery. So far I've concentrated my set up on the UK with the Horizon Scenery plus Treescapes and VFR Airfields. All appear to be working well with the priority setup I have within FSX. Last night I downloaded and added the ORBX Tasmania free demo so this is now priority 1 but this has me wondering before I start branching out further how much does the priority matter. If I'm flying in the UK which I currently do most of the time should I uncheck other scenery for example in this case Tasmania and/or should I lower the priority or do

Now I'm really curious as to what you do with all of them Some are obvious others less so :o When I think how many little (and big) hints and tips I've picked up in various topics here at Mutley's some in obvious place others like this one in not so obvious places it's quite amazing.

Thanks Joe, that's the one I thought, Graham confused me with saying the Word version. I have mine set to open with Notepad also. I actually created a shortcut to the FSX.cfg on my desktop for easy access.

Thanks Joe . That worked a treat, once I found the right file that is (it has to go into the "WORD" file, and not the note pad one, like I tried first ). Cheer's...Graham... Oh does it, I put it into the normal FSX.cfg file that's hidden away!!

Thanks sabre,I Take it that is Washington CD just down the road from me Yep - just a very very short hop :icon_thumbup:

The real short answer is yes there's a point - get it :icon_thumbup: As the others have said you can scale it to suit. You won't regret getting it for one minute.

Just some shots of my new DC 2 at the also new Newcastle Xtreme offering from UK2000. Bit of a sun shower on the first couple

OOOOOHHH I'm more than tempted at that price :001_th_smiles76: Note to self, must stop spending, must stop spending, must stop .........

Superb shots, looks absolutely beautiful. :001_th_smiles76: Which specific scenery packages are you using from OZX and ORBX?

I would just like to say that I have had the pleasure of being on "teamspeak3" with Graeme! and he sounds just like that :D . Cheer's...Graham... I think some of the real Yorkshiremen on here will wholeheartedly disagree

These are shots from Knottingley in Yorkshire, probably breaching all kinds of rules here, but all in a good cause :wootmesalia:

Nice shots with and without the smoke
