Thank you! For consistency, please submit something similar to this with the aircraft facing to the right. jgf, I'll fix yours, so dont worry about redoing.

Sun must have been in your eyes.

Thank you! After the AAR run and all the bad weather, I'm really happy with the Eastern run with its fair skies with following winds.
-
I agree, the Bell JetRanger is absolutely gorgeous. That is what you meant, right?
-
No they do not, and they must be at least 12" tall (some exceptions allow for as small as 3").

Swayed by the wisdom of the Mad One, I'm calling on the Gaggle participants to send a helicopter pic, similar to the fixed wing ones previously created, so that a rotary wing montage Air Race poster may be published. If it's got rotors, its all good. Send them on the thread or to me through PM. Thanks in advance! I do ask one thing, NO TILT-ROTORs. As cool as the Osprey looks, it's still not been approved for full production (fix and small batch runs for years). We'll keep killing service members until the next political shiny penny takes its place. Yes it's a personal thing, that I may explain at an appropriate time.

Enjoying the natural wonders of Australia's beaches.

It just dawned on me that only two helicopters flew during this event. So will have to add more, and I don't want anyone saying... 'But that wasn't in the race!"
-
Guilty as charged...
-
Will it never end !?!?! LOL On it!
-
Send me a pic with "MAD1" positioned in flight similarly positioned as the seaplanes in the poster (go high for all blue background) and I'll update the poster. Floats and boats together.

Glad the re-install worked without a hitch. Don't accidentally grab one of JMSR's big-mouth bottles!

You might want to add this to your paperwork.

She sees several sassy seaplanes at the sunny sea shore...

Good luck, looking forward to this being rectified.

This scenery is for Groningen Eelde Airport, Netherlands EHGG. Groningen Airport is home to the renowned KLM Flight Academy. In recognition of KLM’s historic 100 plus years of service, on the ramp there is a static L-1049 Constellation in the KLM 40 Year “Flying Dutchman - Vliegende Hollander” paint scheme. Many improvements to the airport were made based upon Google Earth © imagery and the LVNL Aeronautical Information Publication (AIP) for EHGG. The AIP for EHGG is included in the zip file. These improvements include: Lengthening runway 05/23. Closing runway 01/19 and converting it to taxiway B. Aligning taxiways per the AIP. Revamping/resizing paved ramp areas. Adding five parking spots (11 – 15) per the AIP. Eliminating incorrect parking spots. Moving the fueling trigger to the middle of ramp closest to the tower. Adding the KLM Flight Academy (parked aircraft, hangars, dormitories, and support buildings). Adding airport buildings, hangars, fire station, support equipment, and landscaping. Adding the VHF/DF (simulated using a Terminal VOR, 117.9). Links and instructions for required scenery object libraries are included in the readme.

Exactly, Now that's talking like an aviator, not a simmer!!!

Why it's so hard to land a fast business jet

Touch and goes (or circuit and bounces) are the staple of basic airmanship. So many thing happening in a short period, then repeat. -
Keep 'em coming!!!

Why it's so hard to land a fast business jet
PhrogPhlyer replied to oneleg's topic in FSX General Discussion
Understanding an overhead approach can be quite beneficial for landing after power loss. One many not have the altitude to set up a traditional square pattern. The best field to land in may be directly under you. And extension of the 180 abeam is setting up a 360 (or more) pattern from a "key" position approximately 1 turn for 1000 feet of altitude to descend. https://www.cfinotebook.net/notebook/maneuvers-and-procedures/emergency/emergency-approach-and-landing I still prefer a close downwind that allow for a 180 and roll wings level at touchdown. After flying into the break to downwind and then 180 and land, flying the rectangular pattern feels like I'm purposely being farther from the runway than I needed to be. It took a while to adjust to a rectangular pattern. For any California pilots, Mohave has no problems if you request "the break." -

This may just be a visual perception issue. The approach, whether published or visual are basically around 3 degrees (+ or -). -
I have this book in my library and this oversight makes me question the level of research for the whole book! I've attached the simplest and detailed overview I've found for Marine Helicopters in Vietnam. Mobility War - Marine Helicopter Operation Vietnam.pdf

PhrogPhlyer replied to oneleg's topic in FSX General Discussion
No matter what aircraft you fly, the approach speed (V Ref) is defined as 1.3 time the stall speed in the landing configuration. And you will need a longer final for a higher V Ref (visual approach). You might want to fly a basic ILS, first with a single engine prop aircraft, then a twin (such as a Baron of KingAir), then a small jet (Cessna Citation), then Lear Series, then jet airliner, The approach remains the same, the time it takes to complete the approach is less with a higher V Ref. -
Very nice run today. I could never tire of watching an AeroStar. Well done.

If you truly desire to improve your pattern flying and landing, I'd reread the comments by lnuss above. Many id flight simming are drawn to the shiny fast electronics of the large or corporate jet cockpit. Best to start with basics and grow from there a step at a time once mastered.
