wain 879 Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 I thought I would just try a quick flight in this lovely little AC trying XP11's ATC...it is a lot better than the last version and does give you time to actually do what it instructs, however like all ATC's in all sims it is far from perfect.....here are a few shot along the way.... parked at EGTR,I really dont like how they have done the grass on this addon... up and on our way... we're coming to get ya.... Carenado closeup.... heading toward a sinking sun, Filton just ahead.... as you can see I am a little to high at this point and hand flew to land about halfaway down the runway, armed the approach way to late, busy eating some crisps... Xplane 11, Carenado AC.... 1 Link to post Share on other sites
brett 2,284 Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 The grass at EGTR looks like bad hair transplants. Nice flight and shots Wayne and remember to always fly the airplane first and save those crisps for the cruise phase. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

UKJim 502 Posted February 15, 2017 Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 Great shots - the last one made me chuckle a little, but that's the benefit of being in a tiny plane landing on a huge runway, you can dump it half way down if you like and it's much easier to go around and join circuit. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
dodgy-alan 1,587 Posted February 15, 2017 Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 You'll have a hard job landing at Filton these days, they're building houses on it! There's still a Concorde parked there, (now under cover) also the Police Helicopter operates from there. My friends live only 1/4 mile from the airfield and right under the flightpath. The husband used to work for Bristol Aerospace before it became part of Airbus. Link to post Share on other sites
