Brilliant description Mr. Zippy, bloody brilliant. :cool: :cool: :cool:

Hi Tilney, I have and use the very Saab 35 Draken you downloaded, version 4.1 and it has afterburner. You will not get it to ignite by jamming your throttle to the end. You will need to activate it using (Shift + F4). The packaged .pdf manual states this on page 25. I QUOTE: The single-stage EBK-67 afterburner (reheater) adds approximately 20kN of thrust to the 57kN dry thrust of the RM6C (Rolls-Royce Avon 300 Mk. 60) engine. In the real Draken the afterburner is activated by pushing the throttle past the normal maximum (MIL) position to a spring-loaded stop. In this simulation it is activated with the Toggle Afterburner command (Shift-F4). Please note that it will not be activated automatically at full throttle as in most other FSX jet fighters. The following conditions need to be fulfilled to be able to activate the afterburner: • Engine speed above 90 % • Afterburner fuel valve open • Remaining total fuel above 5 % • AC power available (alternator bus on) When the afterburner is activated you will feel a notable thrust boost, and the EBK warning light is lit for a few seconds while the exhaust nozzle “eyelids” open. As in the real world, the afterburner makes no difference in the sound of the engine. To cut off the afterburner, pull back momentarily on the throttle. The warning light will light up again briefly while the exhaust nozzle closes. UNQUOTE Hope this helps, Best wishes. Khalid

Thank you Rick, I got one download from rikooo here it is 39 megabytes with an automatic installer. Best wishes. Khalid :cool:

Hi Rick, it is amazing and I love the more detailed more polished model. Is the Alpha C5 an FSX model or FS9? and do you have a link please? Best wishes.

limoncello di Sorrento.... I adore that.... I don't suppose you guys have a third drink to spare? votre bonne santé Gérard et zippy.

Definitely 10, much as I'd hate to say it. You'll have something that is somewhat future proof. Best wishes. Khalid

This thread reminded me of the last page on Flight International, it was called "Straight and level" and written by a certain Roger Bacon. This was all aviation humour. I am attaching two screenshots as samples, (Click on images to enlarge) Best wishes. Khalid

Man the love with which you describe it makes me so thirsty. The global warming alarmists are the equivalent of the flat-Earthers. -Ted Cruz 2015

You bet Gérard its scorching hot.

Hi David. that's awesome. I heard they removed it from the recent PPL curriculum, you don't actually enter a spin? I know in my time I did it. Opposite rudder then its a normal stall recovery.

Nice Dave - especially you cutting corners and jumping the queue in front of that 717 :p Nah on a serious note its a very nice set of shots. :pilot: :cool: Best wishes. Khalid

The dreaded BSOD (Blue Screen Of Death) is the most loathsome thing anyone runs into. Once in a blue moon, I do get the odd OOM (Out Of Memory) condition when using the sim for too long, but the BSOD is even worse. Best practice on a long flight is to save, and save often. Then whatever happens you just load the flight and pick up from last save. BSOD's are typically associated with a certain driver update, especially display adapter drivers, and more especially if it is Nvidia based. Windows does give an error code and saves a log of the BSOD. You can decrypt these error codes and this may just give you a hint as to what went wrong. This link may come in handy Best wishes.

Sensational shots, very nice. Well done Darryl. Khalid

Surely you're not suggesting its global warming? Are you?

You want to avoid alcohol in hot weather. It can leave you dehydrated, confused and more susceptible to accidents and injuries. ... :mad:

Nice freighter by Airbus. Beautiful shots Rick. :cool: Best wishes. :pilot:

Love the DC-6 and the Hawker Siddeley. The caption is quite informative too. Best wishes. Khalid

Nice fortress, love how the jet way is protruding towards her.

Simply lovely. What is the model of aircraft you are repainting Jan? I mean its a PC6 but by what manufacturer? BIG BIG BIG shame that the Aerosoft PC6 project was aborted. Best wishes. Khalid

Impressive shots of the Galaxy. Love both pictures. Great stuff Rick.

Hahahaha Mr. Zippy, that's a nice ferrist landing. The academy will open its pioneering aircraft breeding farm, older aircraft will be withdrawn from service and put out to stud. Birth of an aircraft factory.

Here's an even better result, on top of the bar:

Oh no that's the next level of challenge. Luckily I'm just a junior. :pilot: :cool: :cool:

Wow Larry this is so immaculate. I love the clarity and quality of the shots and they way they tell the story of the trip. The flyer is also an awesome authenticity addition and the Viscount is a magnificent aircraft. Well done. Best wishes. Khalid

Great pictures Aharon. Very nice, as usual. Khalid
