It's been a while since I logged in to the forums. Lo and behold this is the first thread I read. Thanks Zippy!

I'm glad Sir Peerhoven did't give you the complimentary nose punch for such a great find :P

Hope you got the AS16 worked out. The latest version caused cloud popping in my system. Reverted to the previous version until HiFi works out the issue. At any rate, I was in Bismark 2 weeks ago after all of the snow. At least you had seemingly clear skies to BIS...which is unusual this time of year in that part of the country.

Outstanding Kirk! Happy you enjoyed the ride in the Stearman. I got my first ride in a Stearman almost 20 yrs ago. I liked it so much that the owner asked if I wanted to get a check out on the airplane. Of course I didn't pass it up. The owner of the airplane was from a neighboring state and wanted to keep it in Tenn. for a while and told me that I could fly it any time I wanted to as long as I kept fuel in it. Do you think I passed up the offer? Heck no! I put 40 hours on the 220hp bi-wing baby before the owner reclaimed her. That was a sad day, but i sure had alot of fun flying it.

I take it you work for FedEx

 

Indeed...for 25 yrs so far :)

Very nice pics of the MD-11! I've been on the MD-11 jumpseat many times over the years and never experienced any mechanical delays...until a week ago out of EWR. What a late night that ended up being. APU auto shut down after pushback caused all electrical systems to go out. Multiple faults popped up. Towed back in for 2 hours fix (replaced relays) and another weight and balance after multiple engine runs to clear faults. Second push back attempt there was a autobrake inop message. Oh boy. Had to get a deferral. We didn't touch down in MEM until 0315 a.m. In spite of the issues, the MD-11 sure is a fine work horse. That's why I love flying the PMDG MD-11 in the sim. Many of the real MD-11 jockeys I get the pleasure of riding with don't mind sharing fine points about this magnificent beast.

Fabulous paint job!

I use FsPassengers for FS9 and FSX and fly for a VA. For P3D V2.2 I use FS Captain 1.5. Keeps the sim use quite interesting with every flight. I never know when a problem will strike the aircraft :)
