If you have TileProxy or maps2BGL, it's worth having some photo scenery -- there's lots of interest in the area, from Blenheim Palace (home of Winston Churchill, and used as a location by almost every film that has a stately home (Batman, X-Men, Harry Potter, Lara Croft, The Avengers....), Silverstone (home of British Formula 1), the Cotswolds, dozens of disused WWII airfields, Upper Heyford (disused Cold War USAF base), my house... England is very dense, scenically, something that you really don't appreciate from the default or UTXE.

Well, I can only take credit for half of it... :wink:

Yes, Mathijs and I already agreed to have a 'hangar' for each other's club members on eiach other's fields.
Does this mean Emma is getting an air park too? I hope there's a vetting process.... we don't want any old riff-raff (revenooers, govmint agents etc) sniffing around... :wink:
-
Hmmm $75 for a plot. Wonder if we could sub-let?...
-
Your carefully composed image did much to hide Wabbit's, er, navigational skills"... :lol:
And that was our only night-legal runway too! :roll:

Yes, this was on the i7: Vista64, 6GB Ram, 1GB GTX280. It didn't seem to be experiencing any performance problems - no stuttering or other symptoms. I'll poke through the error logs when I boot up the beast and see if there's anything there.
Edit: Couldn't see anything in the system logs, and when I took a quick flight tonight, there didn't seem to be any problem. So whatever it was was apparently transient...
-
For some reason, all my screenshots from this trip came out black, so I've got nothing to show :( No idea why (using Screenhunter)... :?
-
Looks pretty convincing 8) Looking forward to both the scenery and the fly-in :D
There are some RW pics here you can use for comparison... http://forums.flyer.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=47500

Can't comment on your pedigree, but we'll happily teach you to speak and write English... :P :wink:
We can start with some easy words.... aeroplane (air-o-plane).... aluminium (al-you-minnie-um)... Z (zed).... lieutenant (leff-tennant)....
:roll:

Now you can see where I fly from RW, in FSX
While you're waiting for the next leg of the Emma - Plum fly in, why not pop over for a cuppa and a slice of Mrs Miggins' renowned Dundee cake... :D
Remember: New England...New Coke. The original has no substitutes! :P
This blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this Enstone... :wink:

Since these hot ships are 300mph+, I'd suggest setting off at 6pm. It'll take us 2 hours to do the second part, and they'll do it in 1. Shorter legs are not so much of an issue, as the hotships have less of an advantage. I can't really imagine them sitting on the ground at the other end for an hour waiting for the Real Pilots to arrive...
This is pretty much splitting into three separate flyouts: Saturday, Sunday fast and Sunday slow.
-
Praps I should start early, then you guys with the hotships will catch up, rather than be sat waiting at the end 300 miles is rather long on a single leg...
-
Some more pics. Sorry these are thumbnails, but if I shrunk them to 750pix wide, they'd be virtually invisible. As it is...
Heading out across the Great Plains, and the Fort Peck Indian reservation
Turning final for S85 - Big Sky
The queue to get back into the air. It was only a brief stop - long enough for everyone to get down, then we were off again.
Crossing into North Dakota, and the town of Williston.
NA30 - Behrens Airstrip is under my wing. What a fun field that turned out to be!
Good time to practice my short field approach!
There are some strange people around here. A four-armed man gesticulates wildly at a three-armed man under an inverted Cub. Must be a local custom!
The border between snow and grass! BradS and Gary GB are behind, with Scottie and SocalPilot to my right.
All down safe!

Seeing your Spit reminded me of this video...
This is why we still speak English. 8)

6pm shouldn't be a problem for me.
-
Yes it's a Silverstone Fortress FT0. The drives are not RAIDed -- not worth the effort.
Rich, yes the TH2Go does the screen adjustment, and also handles widescreen resolutions.
-
Work on The Beast has progressed since Sunday with the TripleHead2Go plumbed in, and more addons added.
I've linked to some screenshots on another forum, since the 750px horizontal limit means you wouldn't actually be able to see anything, and I can't be having with thumbnails. Although big-looking, the screenies are only 85K.

The scenery is EGTN Enstone, by me and Ian Melville. Currently in beta. :)

Chicago, named 'windy city' on account of all the hot air emanating from its occupants. Or was it named after a musical? I forget...
(and the fact that you live amongst the heathen doesn't predispose you to be against the righteous :lol: )
Hmm, French and Scottish eh? That's unfriendly towards the English on two counts! I'd better be careful...
Sadly, I'm currently banting* rather than bantering since I don't want to be heavier at my next medical than I was last time. :oops:
* after William, of the same name.

By the way Gary, a long time ago I asked you what the GB stood for and you said Gigabyte
I just naturally assumed it stood for Great Britain.... :mrgreen:
-
By next week I'll have more planes installed... :)
-
A few more :)
Once again, a big thankyou to everyone that organised, flew or both. It was a very enjoyable evening (and I wasn't last! :lol: )
-
First outing for the new i7 Beast, so it was a bit of a scramble getting stuff installed and working. But I managed to get a few pics with the 'v' key... :D
Thanks to a revolutionary new 'circling' technique, I managed to avoid betting any branches in my undercarriage! :lol:

Blackadder??
Yup. Blackadder II. Ludwig the Indestructible as played by Hugh Laurie (probably better known to Americans as House, in, er, House), who went on to become the Prince in series 3, and Lieutenant George in series 4
Pop over to my place for a cuppa...

On my old rig, it couldn't keep up, and I must admit I haven't tried it on the new one (so many things to reinstall, so little time...)
But what I did see looks good, so long as you stay in Europe or the US.
