Brilliat pics. By the way, on the touchdown pic with the 727 and again earlier, I noticed something I've never seen before on a 727. How
much does it cost to get the cool wheelie-bar installed and what is it really? (center of the tail, belly side, about 10-15 ft. from the cone)

Hehehe@ wheelie bar. It actually is suppose to keep the tail from striking the ground. If I'm not mistaken, it's spring loaded or
hydraulically loaded. Can't recall which one

That Otto....lol
Great shots Joe, that 727 looks real nice

Interesting. Like I said, I've never noticed one IRL. That's one I'll have to keep my eye open for.

Hey, that 727 has the same angle of attack on takeoff as I did on landing. Hehehe!

I got so bored with the default Australian and S.E. Asia scenery that I ordered terrain mesh from FS Genesis this morning. I'll download
Australia when I go home for lunch and then download SE Asia this evening. It's over 1 Gig of downloading

Re: Australia, why not simply install VOZ?

I don't seem to do things the "simple" way

Joe probably wants to use his bandwidth so that his internet connection is worth the money

Touche'! Apparently the bandwidth wasn't strong enougn to download the 1.2 Gig worth of terrain mesh for Australia and SE Asia.
It took over 2 hours to download it But, it was worth it. I tried making a flight from Alice Springs (with the add-on scenery) to YPDN last
night and had a CTD about 250 NM from YPDN. I didn't look at the event file to see what may have caused the CTD in that area, so I will
be doing some troubleshooting on it tonight. Of course I had cranked up the AI settings for that flight...that may have had something to do
with it.

Perhaps one of the files from the scenery is corrupt? I sometimes have that when I download stuff. Then one of the files is corrupt and I
have to download the whole thing again..

[Joeflyer]

I hope someone else downloads the YBAS scenery(that includes Darwin) and do a test flight from YBAS to YPDN. Let me know if you
experience the same problem.
