evm Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 FireFighter X is nearing version 1.0, so it is time for the "real" tests - FSX with all the bells and whistles, photoreal terrain, ASN, REX4 textures & SoftClouds, UT2, MSE Italy, Aerosoft Olbia. The Canadair is the freeware model CL-215. Airport LIEO Olbia Costa Smeralda, Sept. 19th, weather dry and warm, wind 15-20 knots. I-SRME is preparing for today's sortie... "OK, let us see what we got today" "Three fires, two near settlements, one in the wild - but very close. I think we will take that one out first." "Is that it?" "They are calling us out here for THAT?" "Piece of cake" "Let's hope the next one is better" "Uh..." "Define -better-..." "OK, this is too close to the village. I suggest NE-SW passes then S-N, scooping on the coast" "The center is dowsed. Let's get those small guys before they grow" "Watch that altitude..." "Looking good now." "Good job!"

evm Posted September 19, 2015 Author Share Posted September 19, 2015 "Yup, that one is dealt with" "Let's see that last one" "It had an awful lot of time to grow. Let us hope the fire brigade is up to speed" "This is not good, look how it is nested in that valley. We will do E-W passes, basic pattern, scoop on the outbound leg" "Another job well done" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evm Posted September 21, 2015 Author Share Posted September 21, 2015 Hi @ll, many thanks for your kind words! I admit, I used the instant tank refill cheat quite often. Although the sea is near, scooping is not easy. The CL 215 takes in 5 tons of water in 12 seconds - let her settle on the surface and lose too much speed - you won't get her up again.
