    Keeping my flight sim real, by taking a break, its
    more like being grounded.
    But I'm going to do some low altitude VFR around Birmingham/Cocventry tomorrow, (probably FS9)
     
    I saw a single engine GA flying flying over my house today, and a helicopter.
    -I sarcastically applauded. hehe :rolleyes: :)
     
    Really weird, we get some sun, and a fairly clear sky, and volcanoes erupt, sending ash into the sky.
    Murphy's law... Pardoning the pun.

    Well...

    By HAWKEYE784NG,

    As promised here I am. :)
    Today I tested the IFDG A320, in Thomas Cook livery.
    I just flew out from Manchester and back.
    I liked the model/tetxtures, and panel, seems more realistic (compared with my Pay wear abacus, but the gauges are too small. to see properly. So I still Prefer the abacus panels.
    I can live with that.
     
    But what really let it down was the fact that a (in my opinion) Major detail was Overlooked:
    When I landed and set reverse thrust, the animation on the engine was of a sliding motion, backwards like a 737, and not opening out properly. Like an A320 should
    (If you don't understand what I mean)
    see this: (A320)

    (LOOK at the engine)
     
    And compare it to this (737):

    So I'm thinking of transfering the Thomas Cook textures to my abacus set.
    Decisions, Decisions
     
    I also made my first flight to Newcastle from Heathrow in the Abacus Airbus A319, BA.
     
    Thanks for reading all that, heres a reward: a screenshot of the A320

    By HAWKEYE784NG,

    Spent two days at Manchester (real world spotting)
    Flightsim: Started return flight to Munich of a Lufthansa A340 which brought Munich football team to Manchester, but I got sidetracked by an engine failure and diverted to Stansted.

    I'm going to update it once a week. (With my first later this evening)
    So I hope your ready for my opinion on things!
    Happy flying.
