Pretty damn good, Macca!

Yes I know it I'm useing alot of money on a few days but what joystick would you recommed me ? I hate my old Logitech Extreme 3D PRO
the throttle dosen't work properly (it don't give full power) I'm looking at Saitek. There is a new and a old vmodel it looks like something
with the design that is the only new add to the new model of that joystick... Anyway which one would you recommed me ?

Really good! Smooth and everything. I usually approach from much higher above Your flat approach is interesting and working it
seems. I personel would worry that the plane sucks down when the speed does not much exactly.

About the movies.. the work load I had and the outcome (pore quality after upload) satturated my needs to resist to give it another try.
Heck it looked good before the upload and now you can not see anything in it. :/

Heh, doing an approch with a steeper decent rate would mess up the wheel brakes. Took me a few goes to figure out why the aircraft was bouncing
about 10 feet in the air all the way down the runway!
If I had been running FSP I'm sure there would of been a comment on the end-of-flight report saying 'passengers were wondering which of the 27
landings was the actual one'

Dennis...I highly recommend the Saitek X52 or the Pro, not much difference really. I have enjoyed my X52...quite sturdy.

HB.. for conversion you can check out Virtual Dub -->> http://www.virtualdub.org

I use a Saitek Cyborg Evo, does the job if you're on a budget. If you got a bit more cash to splash around get what Joe has sugested and get an X52.
Don't get the Evo force feedback because the motors will burn out on you in under a year.

Would anyone know why this is happening?

It was fine when I installed it a few months back, I haven't been near the folder since then and now it's just white. Re-installing the textures doesn't change anything

Looks like some default apron texture is missing rather than one of the addon. Did you check at other airports, if it happens elsewhere?

[Joeflyer]

Did you dfrag your pc again? Maybe that might help...heck, I really don't know but wanted to take a stab at it

Hey guys, I forgot that this plane existed for awhile, but I remember it being a good one:

The Rockwell Turbo Commander 690B, It should make Lukla just fine, but I dont have the payware scenery so I couldnt tell you there,
anyway if your interested:

Including a VC, very nice freeware aircraft.

Guys I'm now 30mins away from VQPR getting exciting Himalaya is in sight! Can't wait to try my very planned approach!

[DSW334]

Good luck!

[FsP Dennis]

omg what a trip!!!
I made the approach such as real pilots does fantastic really nice! BUT guess what! on final I told my FO: "gear down" but then he told me
the gear wasn't deployed! I really didn't thought I could made it but I did it I made a very succesfull belly landing -127ft/mn! I'm so proud of
myself

Way to go Dennis! I see your confidence level has just been kicked up a notch

[DBE]

Great stuff Dennis!!!

Next challenge: trying to perform Saturday's leg without using your fingers (which I will remove if you ever upload a flight before schedule
again)!
