Dear Friends,

in first... AMAZING WORK DONE! I flew a little bit over Spain, from Malaga to Sevilla and it was incredible. Nice job! As usual, Dreamfleet went out with a new masterpiece!

Playing a little with the Panel Configurator, I saw that if you select the Glass cockpit and Ready for taxy, you get the engines off. I tried to restart the whole machine but it was still doing the same... LOL... a veeery little thing if it's not my fault!

AGAIN, THANKS!

P.D.

Tomorrow I will announce officialy if you agree that my ftp will be ready for host all the repaints that will be done. Please send me an email to giorgio@fs-gs.com with what do you think about that.

Thanks for the compliment :-)

For the start up setting to take effect, regardless of what is shown in Configuration Manager, you need to use the drop down box and make the selection. It only makes the change if you get a pop-up warning. This was done to allow users to return to their previous settings.

**EDIT** -Paul, you're supposed to be sleeping! :)

The COM loads with defaults selected in some instances. So, say if you change just the cockpit and don't reset the startup scenario - you could end up with something you're not expecting.

I can say that mine has been well-behaved so far.

I know Bill, but I thought I'd have a play with text-o-matic first :-)

Oh! Just the one I have wanted to see.

The MOST beautiful aircraft livery ever! Simple, yet most elegant.

Yep. I've always been fond of the twin globe rocket myself.

Here's one I'm working on:

Paul's template will make painters out of everyone. :)

It must have looked very futuristic in nineteen-sixtyish... it still looks vaguely spaceshiplike with the three engines! Goes well with the B-47, do you think?

I'll just mention that this is all thanks to Rui Cristina's wonderfull master textures file.

Yes - Rui did a wonderful job. The more I work with the template, the more I learn.

Thanks,

Mine is strange - I set it to cold and dark startup, but everytime I restart the tutorial flight, it leaves the plane how it last was (ie- just APU started, etc) So to cure that problem, I had to set it from cold and dark to ready to taxi, then back to cold and dark. But that shouldnt be....hmmmm...this happen to anyone else?
