Yes but not where we fly likes it looks..

Can we change the route and fly to that deep red !?

I can not find an approperiate prop plane for the flight today anyway..

[Tracker801]

knowing you you can make it in a mere 172

[DSW334]

don't try to find excuses.. just get your lazy bu(..)ss over here !!

Theflight Perth to YESP was frustrating for me.

First I faile dot find any good turbo-prop plane. Then I found on that where Icould start the engines (nighter manual nor with autostart)
then I tried FSX default: same result..then iswitched from a jet with running engines to the prop..the engines went off. .

So I showed up too late again.Next I choosed the wilco CRJ700, and forget about prop planes. At least the engines operates on jets.
I prepared everything and pressed a button on the FMC that looked somewhat different than to the airbus one and that FMC crashed
FSX... hmm somehow it reacts alergic to the apr/dep key when you never entered a flightplan or a location where you just are...

Ok fine reboot FSX and wait for FSInn scanning all the aircrafst once more that cost alone 10 minutes.
With 1 hour delay i finally airborn without a prope Flightplan programmed in the FMC (only part of) because I couldnt figure out allhow it
works just by trying. In the air i failed to get the autopilot climbing and holding the Altitude I set. Somehow it operates completly different...
So i played almost the whole flight with the autopilot tillIcould set analtitude that oh well finnaly accepted but thenit kickedout my speed
settings. It does not accept both alt and speed...yeah i guess you never want to fly on a certain altituidue with a certain speed with that
aircraft.. how dare me to get such a thought to want both!

Ok I know it isn't a good idea to fly a plane you have no clue how its instruments, autopilot and flight Management System works.
But I thought it's boring to take the wilco a318 airbus again.. and it can not be that difficult...aehm it can! :LOL:


Toward the destination i figured that FSInn projects a Plane on my Tail again. Every fresh year (install) again I have a fight with FSInn.
Problem is I did not deactive the collision detection in FSInn..don't know where anymore ..

Good old booze crew (joey and tracker) somehow feelt that I am a nice target for their F15's. Ok When you have to wait 30 minute on
someone you can get such ideas!



In the approach I let the plane speed drop to 120 knts..because I knew its a shor rwy. Well I had no clue about the minimum speed of this
aircraft but I know now it's somewhere around 120knt! :LOL: The plane started to fall down rapid!
Good thing is I had just enough altitude to give full thortle and flat catch. The stall warning went off for half a second.

So I came flat in but could land and stop poper until FSInn catched up and projected one of the accompany over my plane that lead to the
unavoidable object collision.



That DC3 likes my plane a bit too much!

What a stress ...heck and I fly to relax !! ... :LOL:

Know the feeling, HB!

I always try to use an aircraft/livery that actually services the destination airport and, apart from some Russian legs, it
has worked out pretty well.

But I must admit that I have given up on trying to use the correct panel for each model: I stick to Ken Mitchell's cockpits
whatever plane I use
(apart from the 737 where I use one from PSPanels).

GREAT comic, BTW! ! Might look into that myself..

@Tracker: hey, I'm really delighted to see that the weather info is getting used; it was a bugger to incorporate into the site!

[Tracker801]

I always check the weather info right after a final look at the charts
Not many go there though

[DSW334]

FS failed on me last night #$%^#$ and couldn't get it running again. I think the mrs. had something to do with it as it started this morning without a
glitch..

[Tracker801]

Better check to see if there is a used diaper stuffed inside the case Arjen
Might be revenge for naming the milk factory......

[DSW334]

could be...

[Joeflyer]

HB...funny comics there

It was fun harrassing HB w/ the fighters the other day. Wish I would have gotten a pic of the roll I performed as I passed from under and
up over HB's plane. Would have been a cool shot

Note to self: never get a wx briefing from that drunken WT pilot called Tracker...

[Tracker801]

Note to self: Never again provide weather briefings to wanna-be drunks like Joey......
