hifly 925 Posted January 5, 2014 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 Great pix Nigel. I see a 146 there, have you got to grips with the 146? Link to post Share on other sites
britfrog 180 Posted January 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 yeah in a way Geoff it is certainly a bit of a disappointment, As in so many cases it has been released to sale before it was finished. If I fly the flybe version146 300 when i taxi along it looks like it is on a wet runway as there is spray rising up under the a/c however once you are flying there is a permanent spray following the a/c but it starts about 30 feet below the a/c so i have no idea what that is about. sometimes it will follow an ILS other times no, it seems very hit or miss and because it has no markers in the pfd to show you if you are on the glide path or localiser you cannot adjust to recapture the ILS as you have no idea if you are above below or beside it I had to reinstall the whole plot 3 times before the FMC in the old 146 would finally turn on Yeah If i just want to go off and poodle around and take pics ,it fly's ok and it is a good looking plane once you get far away not to notice the threepenny bit shaped engines and fuselage one positive point is that it is frame friendly However it taxies along at 30 knots if you let it so i tend to cut the two outer engines after landing and fire them up just before takeoff. It is certainly not in the same league as PMDG or Aerosoft , but there again nothing Just Flight makes is ever top drawer stuff, and it is certainly not in the same class as the QW 757,despite being supposedly made by the same team, it sort of feels like an FS9 model made up to work in FSX. I will persevere a bit more and see if the hassels outweigh the pleasure and if i find I no longer use it I will bin it. I may well write a review on it I shall see if Andrew has anyone lined up for it. Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,498 Posted January 5, 2014 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 That's a real nice set of shots BF I've not seen a 146 at Soton for many a year but your shots bring back some good memories. Link to post Share on other sites
jaydor 345 Posted January 5, 2014 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 I still think you are doing or something is very wrong with your 146. I do not get any of the problems that you are stating. Never have done from day one. Have you looked at the QW forum to see if anyone else is suffering your problems? Link to post Share on other sites
britfrog 180 Posted January 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 No James i havent looked other than downloading an update will have another look Link to post Share on other sites
hifly 925 Posted January 5, 2014 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 Nigel I'm a bit confused here because you mention Just Flight above but I understand you have a problem with the QW version. The JF and QW are different versions of the 146. Link to post Share on other sites

The JF and QW are different versions of the 146. I stand corrected , senility raises its ugly head again , i think i will just go off and top myself Mine is a QW from Flight 1 I ajolopise profusely to JF for maligning their version, maybe I should have bought theirs? for some senile reason I took flight 1 to be JF Link to post Share on other sites
