With a Seafire to the Faroe Islands (FSX)

Recommended Posts

Rob Richardson's new freeware Supermarine SeaFire on a trip from RAF Base Lossiemouth in Scotland to the Faroe Islands (Vaga Airport). The 8 Faroe Islands belong to the Kingdom of Denmark and are situated NW of Scotland, halfway between Iceland and Norway. Because of the strategic position in the Gulfstream, the Faroe Island were occupied by British troops in WW2.

Hey Jan, beautiful model and pics, I have the Seafire myself although I haven't had time to give it a good shakedown yet. But I am troubled by photo number 6 - wings straight and level but the control column hard over to the left? You wouldn't happen to be on AUTOPILOT by any chance, you bad boy???

Happy Christmas!

Dave

Dave: you're very right, I used AP:o Easier to make inflight screen shots. didn't notice the control column over the left until I switched off the Auto Pilot......:o

Yes, some great pics... (I just D/Led the Seafire recently - same livery - have not flown it yet).

 

Out of curiosity, I Googled the real-life Faroe Islands: Looks like a charming place to visit, with unique and just incredible scenery (as in your screen

shots). I'm limited to a virtual visit, however...

Hey! better late than never: I like the Faroes much. Never been (max to Cape Wrath, North of Scotland) but I like that place much!

Thanks for your comment Larry :)

 

The readme says :The runway has transverse grooves for improved braking (not modelled), a turning area at both ends and, also at both ends, areas for emergency braking. These areas, established at an angle to the runway, have broken stone to give a porous structure for improved braking. The AIP declares that "damage to aircraft using the areas may be expected".

 

You'll understand this runway is only to be used by talented airmen like me! :rolleyes:

Listen Buddy: I made an eventful and dangerous flight, while you only parked your plane on a frozen airfield. That's one of the differences between you and noble me. There are more differences: nobleness, handsomeness.. etc etc :mad:

Must be no mirrors in your house!;)

Based on personal experience I can say that yes, there were. But strangely, they were all covered?

I don't think they were sitting Shiva? Hmmm... Must be some other reason. :rolleyes: -- Bob

Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer!  ✈️
