Re: AeroFly FS 2

I was playing around with the latest update after not using it for a while, and its come on a long way, the flight planning has improved and the LNAV seems to work properly in the A320, LJ, King Air etc.

I mean for VFR its downright impressive the level of detail and how it is silky smooth

Re: Spatial Disorientation in a Heli

The importance of a consistent and confident instrument scan is paramount :-)

I always find instrument approaches in a Heli actually easier than a fixed wing since you can set the collective for the VS you need to maintain the glidepath and use a bit of trim on the cyclic to maintain a constant IAS

Re: U.K. Call signs

One thing I have noticed when I have used a alphabetical callsign is some controllers will read it out non-phonetically e.g GBWWW instead of Golf Bravo Whiskey Whiskey Whiskey which is a bit strange when I am a UK PPL

Callsigns that aren't in the controller's database?

So I am wanting to fly with a callsign CLA which is the ICAO for a new UK heavy cargo airline (Cargo Logic Air, ordered 6x 747-8fs :-)) mostly because I want to play around with the SCS 747-8 I have and its an awesome callsign (Firebird) Anyway I was wondering how I can make the controllers aware of...

Re: AeroFly FS 2

Re: X-Plane 10 + Linux my experience

I think XP10 generally doesn't work great under Windows, I got a Mac Pro (the big silver older one) off Ebay for XP10 (I got sick of FSX and since I use XP at work alot (I am a HFACS engineer) I wanted it here). Anyway I tried it on bootcamp Windows 7 and it would just randomly hang whenever I flew ...

Re: Never again on PE - share your mistakes

During my first attempt at the I10 I missread the decent profile and somehow forgot the VOR isn't on the airfield and almost put a King Air into the middle of the ocean.
