My pleasure! Keep in mind that SIDs and STARs are just as their names state "Standard." As more aircraft have certified GPS based systems. ATC Centers will have a greater ability to direct aircraft with nearly point to point routing. Also, the whole ATC system is designed to work with NO RADIOS. Should you lose communications, these Standard routes, feed aircraft to published instrument approaches. Position reports are given with ATC handoffs (a whole class in and of itself), timing of your arrival. I have seen pilots get to countries where ATC is not as updated as in Nth America, and have difficulties with simple things like getting weather (as they are handed the teletype pages) or submitting hand written flight plans, etc. I recommend less (or no) digital instruments when learning instrument flying (RL and FS). Once you have a solid basis in instrument flying, then move to various GPSs and EFIS systems. You will then have a solid understanding and great appreciation for the flexibility these systems offer the pilot.

It was supposed to ne a joke, that obviously failed. RL Army to TV Navy. Oh well.

Not bad for an Army enlisted soldier, promotion to Ensign.

You will have to take up the issue of file name search with FlightSim, as I already stated that the files are easily found searching T-28 or VT-5. And I thank you for finding a typo error with Tim's name, I will correct this with future uploads.

Bernard, Yes Repaint only (as the title states). It is also stated in the write up for each repaint either "You will need the FSX North American T-28C Update, t-28cupx.zip." or "You will need the FSX North American T-28D VT-5, vt-5-0915.zip." Both very easily found with a simple search for T-28 or VT-5 from the main FSX Filemanager page. Instructions for adding to the aircraft.cfg are included in the zip file. When I complete at least one repaint for each of the countries that flew T-28s, I plan on releasing a consolidated upload that will include the base models, etc. PhrogPhlyer

Bet you had the cabin heat cranked up high! Would have been a choppy flight RL. Good to see the Caribou. Was able to get a ride in one out of McGuire AFB (now JB MDL) when in HS. Back when friends could take friends for weekend rides. Great pics Bill.

I really like the visuals going in and out of the clouds. Good for non-RL pilots to see how that looks. Also, were the PAPI lights on at the airport? I only saw the lights right as you were touching down. Great videos, keep them coming!

A quick review of the TAF (Terminal Area Forecast) for the four larger airports near me (TTN, EWR, WRI, PHL) show that over the next 24 hrs. the forecast winds are all from 300 to 340 degrees. Unless the destination has two closely aligned runways, the planned arrival runway would most likely not change during the time of a flight. Also, once programed into the EFIS, there is less cockpit workload, especially if single pilot. -
I don't know specifically for 2020, but could this refer to a circling approach? Here's a link to an excellent explanation of this type of approach. https://www.cfinotebook.net/notebook/aircraft-operations/approaches/circling-approaches

Until this does occur, the content creators can add "Complete Model" "Complete Aircraft" "Repaint" to the file title when uploaded. And, they can add any link file names and other helpful info in the file description. Not automatic, but at least it would help with searches.

This is the 14th in a series of repaints for countries that flew the North American T-28 in their military. In 1961, T-28s were acquired by Ethiopia for advanced training. 12 T-28A and 12 T-28D were converted to S-Fennec. You will need the FSX North American T-28C Update, t-28cupx.zip. Original model by Tim Conway, Updated by Bob Chicilo, Repaints by PhrogPhlyer This series includes: FSX North American T-28C VT-6 ( T28C VT6.zip ) FSX North American T-28D Cuban Air Force ( T-28 Cuba AF.zip ) FSX North American T-28D Congolese Air Force ( T28C Congo AF.zip ) FSX North American T-28D Taiwan ROC Air Force ( T28 ROC Taiwan AF v1aF.zip ) FSX North American T-28 South Korea ROK Air Force ( T28 ROKAF.zip ) FSX North American T-28 Royal Moroccan Air Force ( T28 RMAF.zip ) FSX North American T-28 Uruguay Naval Air Force (T28 UNAF.zip) FSX North American T-28 Philippines Air Force (T28 Philippines Air Force.zip) FSX North American T-28 Royal Thai Air Force (T28 Royal Thai Air Force.zip) FSX North American T-28 France Fennec 119 (T28 France Fennec 119.zip) FSX North American T28 Equadorian Air Force (T28 Equadorian Air Force.zip) FSX North American T28 Brazilian Navy (T28 Brazilian Navy,zip) FSX North American T-28S Fennec Argentinian Naval Aviation - Repaint (T28 Argentinian Navy.zip) FSX North American T-28S Fennec Ethiopian Air Force - Repaint (T28 Ethiopian Air Force.zip) More to come. -
This was checked, but upon another review of the I saw that the missing aircraft had no model assigned. Once that was fixed they were all there. Thank you.

Combining various repaints into a single aircraft cfg. Is there a maximum number of variations [fltsim.x] allowed within an aircraft config so they will display in select aircraft of FSX? I have 16 and only 15 appear, so I have to presume that 15 is the max? Thank you.

Fantastic! I especially loved the shot with Mt. Fuji.
-
Using any system at your disposal is Never cheating! It's good single pilot resource management.

There are many places online to find Lat/Long, Google Earth, any of the maps, etc. Within FS you can find Lat/Long using the map, moving your aircraft to the corners of the visual area (using slew). I'm sure there are easier ways, but these are the first that popped into my head.

Larry, this is an excellent point. Each version of MSFS offer their own uniqueness, be it scenery and aircraft detail (2020), variety of available aircraft or scenery (2004/FSX), classic/golden age aviation (primarily 2004/moving to FSX), and etc. etc. I personally enjoy seeing ALL the various aircraft and scenes no matter what versions they come from. IF we were to keep any separation, I would suggest 2020 and X-Plane separate from "Legacy" (to include 2002, 2004, FSX, CFS and others) due to the vast difference in detail of 2020/X-Plane. Just my thoughts.

Adrian, I just uploaded another repaint. a very easy and intuitive process. Content creators should do some downloads searches to see what info in the upload would assist there. Thanks for all your efforts here. -

This is the 13th in a series of repaints for countries that flew the North American T-28 in their military. Argentine Naval Aviation received 65 ex-French Air Force T-28S Fennec aircraft. Last nine were transferred to Uruguayan naval aviation in 1980. You will need the FSX North American T-28C Update, t-28cupx.zip. Original model by Tim Conway Updated by Bob Chicilo Repaint by PhrogPhlyer Other aircraft in this series are: FSX North American T-28C VT-6 ( T28C VT6.zip ) FSX North American T-28D Cuban Air Force ( T-28 Cuba AF.zip ) FSX North American T-28D Congolese Air Force ( T28C Congo AF.zip ) FSX North American T-28D Taiwan ROC Air Force ( T28 ROC Taiwan AF v1aF.zip ) FSX North American T-28 South Korea ROK Air Force ( T28 ROKAF.zip ) FSX North American T-28 Royal Moroccan Air Force ( T28 RMAF.zip ) FSX North American T-28 Uruguay Naval Air Force (T28 UNAF.zip) FSX North American T-28 Philippines Air Force (T28 Philippines Air Force.zip) FSX North American T-28 Royal Thai Air Force (T28 Royal Thai Air Force.zip) FSX North American T-28 France Fennec 119 (T28 France Fennec 119.zip) FSX North American T28 Equadorian Air Force (T28 Equadorian Air Force.zip) FSX North American T28 Brazilian Navy (T28 Brazilian Navy,zip) More to come. -
I couldn't agree more!
-
Looking through a fence, I'd venture to say that we all can relate to that experience. Great approach to plane spotting!

Before starting the object placement tool in FSX SDK, I zoom back to give a wide view to place objects. Once I select the object placement tool and add a scenery object, the view returns to 1.0 and I can not zoom out again. This makes placement extremely difficult. How can I control the view zoom once in the object placement tool?

Great pics Bill. And nothing is prettier than climbing out to CAVU on top. Flying an instrument training hop as a student in a T-28, under the bag (was an actual curtain that went over you blocking the canopy), my instructor had me tune the NDB to a local music station and lower the bag... "Color my world" in my headset, and gorgeous blue skies over a cotton candy layer. An experience I'll never forget.

Well of course!
