HAWKEYE784NG

Keeping my flight sim real, by taking a break, its more like being grounded. But I'm going to do some low altitude VFR around Birmingham/Cocventry tomorrow, (probably FS9) I saw a single engine GA flying flying over my house today, and a helicopter. -I sarcastically applauded. hehe :rolleyes: :) Really weird, we get some sun, and a fairly clear sky, and volcanoes erupt, sending ash into the sky. Murphy's law... Pardoning the pun.

As promised here I am. :) Today I tested the IFDG A320, in Thomas Cook livery. I just flew out from Manchester and back. I liked the model/tetxtures, and panel, seems more realistic (compared with my Pay wear abacus, but the gauges are too small. to see properly. So I still Prefer the abacus panels. I can live with that. But what really let it down was the fact that a (in my opinion) Major detail was Overlooked: When I landed and set reverse thrust, the animation on the engine was of a sliding motion, backwards like a 737, and not opening out properly. Like an A320 should (If you don't understand what I mean) see this: (A320) http://farm1.static.flickr.com/39/123495999_6c0bda68a3.jpg (LOOK at the engine) And compare it to this (737): http://www.airliners.net/photo/Alaska-Airlines/Boeing-737-4Q8/1102791/L/&tbl=&photo_nr=9&sok=&sort=&prev_id=1102792&next_id=1102790, So I'm thinking of transfering the Thomas Cook textures to my abacus set. Decisions, Decisions I also made my first flight to Newcastle from Heathrow in the Abacus Airbus A319, BA. Thanks for reading all that, heres a reward: a screenshot of the A320

I joined flightsim uk. Virtual Airline. Picked Thomas Cook as my main airline. Downloaded the IFDG A320 FULL REPORT ON THAT TOMORROW (Once Ive used it) :D

Spent two days at Manchester (real world spotting) Flightsim: Started return flight to Munich of a Lufthansa A340 which brought Munich football team to Manchester, but I got sidetracked by an engine failure and diverted to Stansted. Going to get onto air-source for my flight schedule.:)

Okay, I've used F2004 and now Fsx. I thought it was time to start a blog so you could get to know me better. I'm going to update it once a week. (With my first later this evening) So I hope your ready for my opinion on things! Happy flying. :cool: Ben784
