FsP World Tour - Season #3 (Legs #36 & #37)

[HB-100]

So. After a long time off (1 year) I finnaly joined the FSP WT tour again.

Great to see that the core crew of WT2 is still all active. So there was old Joeflyer comming into WAAU or WAWW (seems tobe WAWW in
FSX) and there was old Tracker outflying and there was old me hard trying to bring the new installed wilco Bobardier CRJ 200 cockpit to
live. There were also others like Britania or something (sorry already frogot the nick) and maybe more but I was really absorbed with
looking for any switch I could turn to bring onthe instrument. I had to give up after half an hour. I guess I installed that aircraft wrong. Have
to check.
So I switched to my also new installed wilco A320 and was glad to find a normal working and really great looking virtual cockpit.
I was already a little familair with it because a month ago I bought the wilco A330 and it really seems to operate identical which doesnt
mean it is simple. The Flight Management Computer and the nasty Autopilot modes coupled with the thruster levels still gives me a hard
deal to operate. Sometimes it simple doesnt do what I want it to do and disobeys my crazzy flight commands and it turns out into a fight
ME vs the A320 Autopilot Computer... This especially happens close to finnal and I more than once have to push the AP Off button to
disconnect that narrow minded Computer and have the Airplane following my crazzy stick control.

Others than my usual fight with the A320 AP it's really really a great thing. I should have bought this wilco plane a long time in the back but
I was waiting for something better...oh well..

So here is how the wilco A320 Virtual cockpit looks in FSX. Heck that's all I need to be happy. That just looks great to me:






The liveries I just picked one with a lot color in the hurry looks ok but could look a lot better thought if you know what else is to find on the
net:






And that is a neat feature of FSX: I can spy on my WT mates and see if they also are fighting with their AP or fly just smooth..
Hello Tracker!



This bayway are the three interesting A320 I was waiting for a long time to come out. I wonder if they ever will be released.

Oh well I started at 15:00 simulated local time and forget that we were flying east. so I arraived on 18:30somethign and it was all pitch
black dark already. Nothing to see off the groundtextures I of course installed. Oh and the rwy had no papi lights in my FSX standard
scenery.. oehm.. so it was one of this: fly downward into the black till you feel that the thing in front could be a runway crazzy landing.
Unnecessary to say the first I had to do was to kill switch off the nasty AP and stop challangeing my kamikaze commands.
But it allwent well once again. Also with that short rwy at destination.
(the short rwy was why I wanted to fly with the CRJ 200)

Now I have to sort out some problemes I have with FSInn:
1) Foreign planes are sticking on mine. I don't know how to get right of that anymore..what was the trick?
2) AntiAliasing is missing with FSInn on. I have an NVidia card.
3) With the wilco planes I can not switch to the desktop inbetween because it faisl to reopen the FSX window again when clicking on it in
the task bar. That only happens with the wilco cockpits. Also without FSinn so this one is not FSinn.

VERY nice screenshits, HB Glad you finally got that Airbus moving

I was able to complete a flight from WAAU to WRSJ without any issues, so it appears going to WAAU is the problem. Don't know why I'm
getting the d3d9.dll errors even with the latest DX files. Oh well...

Just installed all of the VOZ packages...WOW! I'm highly impressed with the scenery. Now it's time to see if I can handle that Fokker 100
to YBTI

The F100 is not a sissy plane Joeyboy

That is what is waiting on you. Bathurst YBTI:









I justfigured that the wilco CRJ 700 and the CRJ 900 has no problems. In the picture is the CRJ 700.
Just the CRJ 200 has. The one I am most interested in because it is the smallest. Their CRJ.dll isn't working correct with FSX.
Interesting I can replace it with the CRJ 700 dll one and adjust the panel.cfg to access that gauges. Seems to work halfway.
hmm have to check wilcos pages/forums if there is a patch.

Also tested that wilco A320 a little more. Seems to fly really good. Thought I have to test it more first. forexample their A330-300 dives with
the nose on final. No problem for flying but it looks incorrect.

Hmm hope your crashes to Desktop doesnt have to do anything with my FSInn and the sticking plane. I don't think so..but heck just give
me a bad feeling if you had a CTD and Tracker the day when I joined and I had or still have an FSInn problem.

[Joeflyer]

Wooo, nice scenery HB I'm really loving the VOZ scenery

I tried loading the flight plan in the F100's FMC but it wouldn't take the plan Seriously, there's something terribly wrong with this part of
the world when ya can't even load a freak'n flight plan...hehehe! I used the 727 again and made it to YBTI...no CTDs...yippeee!

[Tracker801]

wuss

[Joeflyer]

Ok, WUSS Jr., how should I go about loading a FS flight plan that doesn't work?

I think you just muddled your way around until you found a suitable place to land

[Tracker801]

Im not saying anything

[DBE]

Wow: HB is back!

Great pics, love that VC!

@Joe: don't worry. You definitely won't get penalized for having flown a leg backwards. Indeed, I'm still rummaging through AVSIM trying to find the
special a/c you used. Amazing! :-)

[Joeflyer]

Mark...it's a push-pull type of aircraft...can fly it forwards or backwards

[Tracker801]

Knowing you, backwards is most likely

[Joeflyer]

It just shows I'm a versatile aviator

[Tracker801]

Makes me wonder how Boeing will advertise.........

"The all new 002-727...... for all your reverse flights.... the all new rigid reversed angle wings and tail in front gives you the over-exagerated
stability on medium haul flights. With its all new rear-facing seats you, the pilot, will have an extreme view of where your tail has been a second
ago. Passengers will feel turbulence earlier so you can make adjustments before you go bouncing yourself. All-in-all, the perfect BoozeCrew plane!!!!!

Todays offer: A brandnew, off the sh*tlist aircraft with top-avionics for only a couple million bucks.... We will throw in a free beer cooler in the
cockpit............"

sounds good to me... anybody in for some babycare tonight? Boy.. nobody told me that this little rascal was programmed to be operational 24hrs a day,
most like the Ryanair boeings.. anyway.. this pilot is very tired and won't be able to make tonights t/o due to some scheduling conflict. And off
course the boss decides where the pilot goes...

I hope to be back online and ready to rock 'n roll on saturday. Have fun all!

P.s. Track. Will sent some cigars your way.

[Tracker801]

Yummy

Glad Im still boss around here

(hope SHE didn't hear that...... )
