I just hope at least someone is flying with me today. I don't even know if I'm flying, but I'll probably hang out around the landing airport

btw, does anyone want to see the recordings I took, or should I just get them off my system?

[ivo]

ok, update


Chelsea 1:2 Barcelona

It could have been 3 to 4 goals for Barca, but Chelsea got lucky...

Ivo, try to encode your Fraps AVIs with windows media encoder to WMV files, they'll get much smaller then.

Guests have just left, they were a bit longer than expected. How was tonights flight?

[eazy]

Nice flight but, although we were only 3, we managed to have 2 go-arounds on final and a near-desaster on the runway
because Geo had a complete brake failure

Here's one for you Runi:

Nice, I'm looking forward seeing all the pics.

[GeoBauG]

That was definitely an eventful flight :D

Good times.

Nice job Eazy ! You could catch good view of Runi in his aerobatic demo.Nice liveries too

My pics are ready on

Very nice shots, Pégase. Two things:
1) I really love your 707 but you must do something about the pollution. It's so bad for the virtual skies
2) Could it be you bought the Super 80? Looks like

I already wrote a fix request to CS, but they sent me to being, here they told me that the engineers don't work anymore for Boeing...
So, I noticed that the smoke trails disappears totally at descent.
Then, I a bit and, suddenly, came the great idea : I do all my best to do as many descent and landing than take off and
climb!!!...

2) Could it be you bought the Super 80? Looks like

Yes it is a bit sleeping in my hangar as I like too much flying the other planes. This is why I can lend it to you for network flights

Pégase, you're a real genius

... and very generous too!

I think about adding the 707 to my fleet, so we can exchange these from time to time. Or would you recommend to get the 727 first
(which is on my list as well)?

[crowebird]

is that flight being made again today? (in like 30-45 minutes??)

[pegase]

I can only recomand warmly BOTH... I can't tell which is better or simply which i like more.

The Dreamflee 727 seems to me beeing a more "finished" product with extensive documentation and tutorial flight. very acurate
modelisations sounds for all action and events, operating pressurization etc.

The CS 707 is a bit more rough from development, minimal documentation and some little features which can be annoying in use with
FsP and network flying, It "intercept" directly some hotkey from the keyboard buffer so, if in the chatter or in an FsP dialog or FSNavigator,
you use a capital P, it will start a very nice sequence of ronversation between you and ground crew, release the parking brakes and start
push back . The FsPshortcut for course and heading are not operating.

You must use a trick to avoid light penalties. As the passenger version don't have APY, you must rely on Ground power. but this GP is
diconnected when you start pushing back. all lights are then unavailable then you get penalized for beacons. so I now start engine 4,
switch on bus its generator, sitch the power selector on eng 4 first.
Then I can disconnect ground power and push back without loosing light supply. I start engines 1,2,3 after push back.

The original autopilot is a bit bug ridden and will send your passengers flying in the cabin when releasing alt hold. But they released a
patch which fix that. just you need to think re connecting 'switch off/on) the heading hold each time you disconnect the altitude hold.

The strong point of the CS 707 is the deeply immersive sounds and flight dynamic, the engines sounds are great from inside and the
inertia of heavy plane is perfectly rendered. the visual is great..

Both planes have very nice panels and VC. May be the 707 is a bit more fps thirsty in VC mode.

For my experience, I was happy to have first the 727 because the documentation gave me some knowlegment I would not have found in
the tyny CS 707 doc.

Im on now if anyone wants to make that flight WAJJ-WAMM
