mutley 4,495 Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 Thanks to SWVA7337 for an excellent leg2, how do I follow that?! As you can see it was raining on his arrival, it hasn't stopped My aircraft arrived the next day, this is a new acquisition purchased from an infamous airline, can you guess what it is yet :yes: :dance2: The baton safely stowed. As yes Bryanair, the Irish subsidiary of METjet, this allows me to have some fun with the paint brush. The engines have warmed up nicely, this is around 11am and it's dull as ditch water. Barra is not that well modelled in FS, the runways are supposed to be on the sand but hey ho. A small edit to cheer me up. A great STOL aircraft is the Twotter, I am going to be flying her a lot. Banking Steeply after take off, I can hear the baton hit the floor! I am pleased to be leaving that behind. We're above the thick layer of cloud and into the clearer air. Approaching our cruise alt of FL140. Topped off I remember to switch the landing lights off :doh We are heading towards the Tiree VOR on the West Coast of the mainland Now passed "TIR" we have turned SW heading toward SLG. You can see the headwind of 52 holding us up a little. All's fine according to the instruments. And the passengers. Just about to pass over the Irish coast. Active Sky indicates some bad weather below and at our destination, grrr Still at FL140. Today I am flying the modern version of the Twotter, but have the totally steam cockpit version too. Now as directed we make a turn and begin our descent to 8000 Lights back on, it's murky down there. We can faintly see the ground. The GPS showing our route in. The map shows our route straight in to 24 Bumpy as she goes At 2000 we should be intercepting the localizer soon She's pulling us in, keep the faith my brother! There she is! The lights ahead On Target, switching off the AP I want to be in control Whoops a gust takes us sideways The wet runway doesn't help with our breaking but there Link to post Share on other sites
grth_bbtt 0 Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 great shots mutters :yes: my barra is on the sand with the additon of scotflight scenery from visual flight the paint looks quite a good job as well Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,495 Posted October 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 Thanks Gareth, I wondered if it was in that package, I couldn't find any freeware and it crossed my mind but I don't go to Scotland much due to the lack of photoscenery. Cheers Link to post Share on other sites
SWVA7337 0 Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 Excellent flight mutley! I loved the different viewpoints in you shots. Too bad FS9 doesn't have such a great feature. Link to post Share on other sites
reef 3 Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 Lovely Job Joe, nice shots, nice commentary, nice aircraft and a nice paint to boot. The weather was a bit glum but makes the flying more interesting. Turning out quite nice this ATWC :yes: steve Link to post Share on other sites
TapA321 0 Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 what a post! I enjoyed every single one. Fantastic angles, fantastic clouds and a really good choice of aircraft... ...loved 'em! :yes: George Link to post Share on other sites

wisemanp 0 Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 Great job Boss! Really clear shots even in that weather. We're off to a 'flying' start guys :yes: Link to post Share on other sites
vacs007 0 Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 Joe, that was an excellent post, I really enjoyed flying along with you on that leg. I only hope I can live upto that standard you have set. Not to highjack your post - I must add this much, my biggest regret at this time is that Aerosoft has not released the Otter for FS9, the Otter has to be my most loved AC of all, I know there is a freeware version for FS9, but it just does not quite do it for me, but the Aerosoft version is the business for me. It is the one AC that will force me to do a serious upgrade of my system and install FSX and purchase the Aerosoft Otter, and if I do that, it will most likely be all I will fly, I just :wub the Otter that much. I have 6 realworld Skydives out of a Otter. Now back to you Joe, your post just rocks man. :yes: Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,495 Posted October 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 Thanks Wayne, Aerosoft now are deliberately developing exclusively for FSX and the Twotter is a real beauty. Great flight characteristics, a 115 page manual and a sense of realism. I love FSX particularly for GA and the detail of the scenery you can now get, it's really getting more immersive.

dgor 0 Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 Joe, Fantastic shots! Love the Bryanair livery :mrhappy: Some really atmospheric and intense-looking pics there, I really enjoyed those. I wish the Otter was available for FS9!
