    Yes makes perfect sense and goes along the lines of vice versa floatplane taking off land runway. :cool:

    Someone is trying to sell a flight academy with this logo: which shows a head on of an aircraft with only one flap deploying. What that means in practical terms is that this can very well be the last moments of these two unlucky occupants.

    Next take off to try https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-JDogTLtels

    Kevin, you know the proverb about the three most useless things to a pilot: the altitude above you, the runway behind you, and a post facto warning! :D Jan: Should I blame the passengers for not using the safer kayaks? :pilot:

    Thank you all, well wishers, and sympathisers. Every cloud has a sliver lining: I am glad and proud that I qualified for the von Peerhoven academy. //To confess I did try to evade the accident, jammed my feet hard on the brake pedals but nothing happened, I did try the handbrake to no avail either. An accident investigation will blame brake failure for this crash for sure, so its definitely not pilot error. (ತ◞౪◟ತ ‵)

    Jan mentioned in his comment on the "Phantom Formation" thread that landing aircraft on water can be challenging, so I said why not try the easier thing, i.e. take off? I used the ORBX Freeware CAG8 Pender Harbour Seaplane Base, and pulled out a rarely used Cessna Birddog floatplane out of my hangar. Rolled off the jetty leaving the passengers behind, not much of a bush pilot here. I thought with seaplanes there is no runway to run out of... or so I thought... The birddog did not achieve the ramp effect that Sea Harries get at take off from British carriers. So I ended up nose heavy. The end of a very short flight. On the plus side I left the crash without getting my feet wet. Great Airmanship? eh? Best wishes. Khalid

    Thank you well done

    That's awesome, not only even for a freeware! Very decent work! Khalid

    I was able to get it to work later, thank you. Apparently you have set the manufacturer name as Cessna and not Carenado so the repaint appears with the stock Caravans, not the Carenado ones. Thank you again and best wishes.

    Hello, Please be informed that for some reason your repaint doesn't work. I tried every possible troubleshooting, to no avail. Best wishes. Khalid

    I think they get on scaffoldings and use power tools to polish so much area. I have seen various drill attachments that do a wonderful job of polishing, such as cloth discs and fluffy spheres. In my humble opinion its not so much as a difference between you and your grandpa, as the difference between the size of a Dakota and a Cessna 180. If I owned a Cessna 185 I would polish her adoringly any time. I did hear however, pilots claiming that they get up to 10 knots extra airspeed for the same power setting with a polished ship. Best wishes. Khalid

    Hello, the I-MONI version in the FSX is a repeat of I-BISE, there is no I-MONI paint? thank you.

    Thank you great aircraft. Does it not come with a 2D panel? I may be old fashioned but it would make your model more perfect if it had 2D panel. Thank you once more and best wishes.

    Awesome shots Jan. Your photo composition is neat and to the point. I am always impressed. The Dakota is also a great model to pose for you, especially with this classic livery, so you have an added point. Best wishes. Khalid

    The name is Greyhound not Greyhoud must be a typo.

    If you cannot get this repaint to work, it is because the cfg is missing one line, "sim=gladiator18" without the quotations. Without this entry, you will get prompted that the model failed to start. Until Peter would release a fix or an update, the cfg should look like this, the missing line is the second one from top: QUOTE [fltsim.XX] title=Gladiator Mk I Iraqi sim=gladiator18 model=glad01 panel=glad01 sound= texture=Iraqi kb_checklists= ui_manufacturer=Gloster ui_type=Gladiator Mk I ui_variation=Iraqi description=15 Gladiators were delivered to the Royal Iraqi Air Force in 1937/38. The aircraft were initially operated by No 4 Squadron. The Gladiator numbers were increased after 1942 and a further 18 were transferred from RAF stocks. The Gladiator was finally withdrawn from service in 1951. visual_damage=0 UNQUOTE Best wishes, Khalid

    Awesome work, many thanks David!

    Wonderful work, thank you ever so much Peter. Best wishes. Khalid

    Lovely repaints, as always, many thanks Peter. May I put in a request for repaint in the colours of the Royal Iraqi Air Force for the Gladiator? Iraq bought a total of 21 Mk.1s in 1936 and most of these operated with the 4th Sqdn. and saw action in 1941. I can email you a number of pictures and paintings for ease of reference. Thank you in advance and best wishes.

    Thank you Larry, the excellent short history narrative is actually off the packaged manual. I know and absolutely love California Classic Propliners page and it has a bookmark in my favourites for quite some time. Rick's Historic Jetliners Group link also leads to a treasure trouve. There is this great website too, Classic British Flight Sim, The home of Classic British Freeware for Microsoft Flight Simulator https://cbfsim.co.uk/ You may wish to have a look. Best wishes. Khalid

    Jan, Rick and Charlie, lets just say we are ageing gracefully

    That's just amazing, identical experiences. No it doesn't matter at all where you live, the flying bug transgresses everything out there. :pilot: In a way I feel sorry for the children nowadays eyes glued to their ipads and mobile screens.

    Amazing story, nearly a stowaway on a VC-10! Thanks for sharing :cool: Were they flying Heathrow - JFK?
