Yakpilot56 3 Posted June 27, 2015 Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 Hi everyone, Another regular from frooglesim (Yakdownpete) hopping over the fence to join your Mutley crew. A retired scot and dedicated simme. I like all types of sim aircraft, my favourite aviation designer, Alexander yakovlev designed some interesting aircraft hence my handle yakpilot56 - Although the yak-56 never actually flew I enjoy helicopter flying in X plane 10 and use Fsx Steam / Prepar3d V2.5 regularly for GA flying and the big stuff Favourite Operating system Windows 10, in testing it has provided a terrific platform for simulation Looking forward to contributing to the forum on a regular basis on sim based hardware/tech and software Pete Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted June 27, 2015 Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 Welcome, Pete. We hope you'll like Mutley's Hangar and become a regular here. A number of refugees from Froogle's soon-to-be-closed forums have joined too. John Link to post Share on other sites

hlminx 301 Posted June 27, 2015 Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 Hi Pete Welcome to the Hangar! Will be interesting to see how you get on with Win10... I'm personally hating the idea of parting with Win7 one day, so any feedback could prove very useful. I have FSX SE downloaded, but I haven't tried it as my Boxed version and the plethora of add ons I have is really stable at the moment. Steph Link to post Share on other sites

mutley 4,488 Posted June 27, 2015 Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 Hey Pete, I can see from Froogle's that you are very switched on about the peripheries of flight sim. A huge welcome from me and I hope we can return as much useful information and fun that you have so far given our FS community. Slàinte mhathJoe Link to post Share on other sites
brett 2,299 Posted June 27, 2015 Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 Welcome aboard Pete, always nice to have a multi-faceted simmer here. I look forward to your input. Link to post Share on other sites
wain 879 Posted June 27, 2015 Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 Welcome aboard Peter, using FSX SE myself and finding no issues, not to sure on Win 10 though, got 8.1 working fine, we will let you test it..... Wayne Link to post Share on other sites
Quickmarch 488 Posted June 28, 2015 Report Share Posted June 28, 2015 Hi, Pete, welcome to MH. Good to hear that Win10 is going to be one that MS gets right. I have to agree with Steph in that I've been dreading the demise of Win7. With my luck, I'll drag my heels past 10 and find out 11 is another MS "in the middle" "Mr.fixit".

Captain Coffee 2,030 Posted June 28, 2015 Report Share Posted June 28, 2015 Howdie and Welcome. I recently backpedaled from 8.1 to 7 after a CPU change. Definitely good news that there is something going forward that will keep this hobby working. Phew. Link to post Share on other sites

J G 927 Posted July 7, 2015 Report Share Posted July 7, 2015 Welcome to Mutley's Pete! So you're a Yak pilot. Military or civil? - I am the resident Mutley Crew military flyer, although I restrict my self to RAF. (Based on Interest and cost limitation!) If you have any '60s or later Yak bombers or reconnaissance aircraft then I would happily try to intercept you over the North Sea in some multi-player sessions if you're up for it, provided there are FSX models for aircraft like the "Brewer" etc. JG.

Yakpilot56 3 Posted July 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2015 Thanks All for the welcome, since joining I have been somewhat distracted by other projects but keen to join in Hi John G I first started flying Yak planes when playing the IL2 Sturmovik series of games, Yakolev aircraft are very much unsung heroes of WW II - I think I like them as they are quirky and I really like oddball aircraft sadly I dropped flying them in FS2004 when FSX was released and only have a couple of GA planes that I fly occasionally. These days I really like the work by Dino Cattaneo I have his freeware Military aircraft in FSX and P3dand made a donation to him as they are definitely worth it, they aren't study level aircraft but beautifully renderedand have enough systems to keep you occupied, some are tacpak compatible The default F35A AF-9 aircraft in Prepar3d is by Dino.
