That looks like a nice jet, how does it fly. I tried one and it didn't seem right. When you put the nozzles down, you stopped on a dime and hovered. it didn't see right, but I guess its a blaxt to fly when its right.
-
There is a jetpack man in some of the free download areas that you could switch to and maybe "taxi" around.
I also heard of a plane that is "clear" that you can move around in; be the invisible man, sort of. Sorry, I don't know where to get that one

A message that will remain on top of the list

All use guys done good... and are still doing good...
(like the NY accent...and I'm not even from there :lol: )
Keep it up!! I appreciate it... and so do others.

Has LAGO posted a patch that fixes the field disappearing on approach for a second or so? this only happens when approaching from one end only. (sorry can't remember which end, I'm traveling now and don't have access to it.)

Thoughts and prayers go out to families here in the US and overseas...

Running RW on a second PC... that sounds like a great idea...
-
Great Shots... man I bet it would be cold in that plane!!!

Maybe EMMA is really a secret place for the Goverment like Area 51... :D :D :D I always wonder what hidden those mounitans UMMMM

I agree with a standard voice program
I don't think we are voting... but if we are voting for a standard voice program... I vote for Roger Wilco, but only because it’s the ONLY one I have used and it was simple... I realize that others may be simple too...
Also Roger Wilco can use another program called Navy RW which will link your FS2k2 Comm 1 to Roger Wilco, so when you change the freq on comm 1, it will change the RW channel (they have to be set up ahead of time). On another place I fly, we run 2-3 channels all the time, so you can change your comm 1 to talk to others (ground, ATC, Center etc). This works well when all are on...
Again, I don't know what other programs can do, I never used them... they might be able to do the same thing just as well...
But a standard for EFFC would be handy.
Just my thoughts.

yep... just GA A/C would be best. They should be about the same size so they all can get in OK. Don't want an ultra light flying so slow to hold up the parade on landing :D
-
Nice helo... which one is it, does the basket go up and down. I'm thinking its up or down, kind of like an instant up. What a ride!!
OK, I'll stop with the questions, nice pictures!

Are we going to be on a MP server?
I'd like to see a fly-in where we all try to arrive at the same time (different altitudes of course). Then we all get into the pattern and land.
We start from an airport we want to at the time necessary to arrive at a certain time. Maybe a minimum distance necessary…say 90 miles min… (we could do a few of these because of the time zones across the world if necessary). UMMM… if more than one person picks the same airport, they need to coordinate take off times???
Bragging rights for the most accurate arrival time.
Longest non-stop flight.
No holding patterns within 30 miles of Emma if you want to get more advanced.
All use the same weather (may have to be hand built in FS2k2 because Emma area may be socked in at that time...)
Just flying directly over Emma is good, not landing because we all couldn't land at the same time...then descend and all get in safely... I guess you should have to land safely for bragging rights.
A/C limited towhat ever... I guess what ever can land safely at Emma, but we may need to set a limit. (I've gotten a C-130 with a 30 Knot head wind)
Another version would be to hand out, ahead of time, landing times, say every 10 min or so, and we try to get to Emma at the exact time we need to land. Seems more fun the other way though...
Don't forget the Wall of Fame website for posting the winners... helps with bragging rights.
Anyway, just an Idea

Don't know, but maybe news groups... Maybe search on "Alaska"
-
Very interesting Sundog...
-
Is Groom lake the place that isn't there (SHHHHH) or did I get that mixed up with another place (that isn't there)
-
I can see when this come out, I will be reprogramming my Cougar... Can't wait
-
UMMMM this can lend itself to some interesting games during a fly in... Try to hit a certain spot after you slew to the same spot. Some one is "hovering" at a certain spot above Emma as a starting point... then we jump from there (all with the same winds) and see how close you can get to the same spot.
-
Yep...the Tacoma Narrows Bridge collapsed because they didn't take into account the winds that are in the area. There is neat video that is shown on various TV channels (Discovery, The Learning Channel, History Channel etc) every so often. It shows the bridge twisting back and forth until it gave way.
-
When,,, when... when!!!! I have flown a few (virtual) f-16s and I through them away... but coming from you guys, its got to be good.
Are we going to fly the KC-10... or is that an AI plane we meet up with... either way, that will be great!!
-
They could kick in the reverse thrust, but I guess that would be hard to take off the prop and put one with reverse thrust....while its still spinning... and don't forget the ever present speed brakes.
But I think the best solution would be to put your feet throgh the floor boards and drag them on the ground. :D :D
-
The only problem I have seen is the field disappearing on approach...
What is the file name for the new version of GR3? Will it install over the other version, or should you uninstall and install the new version?
-
YEA... Crab cakes, those are great!! Our group used to eat all day at seafood buffet .. Phillips is it? Man that was good eating!!
SATURDAY NIGHT FLY IN ? - Interested ?
