  1. Install Instant Scenery. It lets you delete objects from the scenery, it also gives you access to ALL your scenery libraries (including ORBX) to place any object anywhere, so you can add detail to your home town or your favourite airstrip, or add landmarks that might be missing. Its fab. See a problem in FSX - delete it with IS. http://www.flight1.com/products.asp?product=instscen2
  2. Not kidding, the same happened to me!! My wife and son were at St James Palace event, with various writers and celebrities and Camilla (it was the BBC2's 500 words story finale). I sat outside Buckingham Palace like you watching endless big jets crawl past on finals. Very cool!
  3. I too would like to thank this fantasic group of simmers, not for teaching me to fly (I watched instructor videos on You Tube and bought some pilot books! ) but for how to solve the hundreds of problems you inevitably have trying to get the sim to run like you want. I hated computers, but Zi learnt from these good people how to 'fly' the PC!
  4. Since the original poster didn't thank you, I will. I've just been looking for this myself, so I can start a series of cargo night flights across Europe from the UK. Thanks Mr Zippy!
  5. On some You Tube videos, I've seen some fantastic homebuild fighter plane simulators, and many of their owners put on military-style flight suits. How about those with those great looking airline cockpits? Do airliner sim or prop plane sim owners every wear flight gear? Shirts with four stripes? Or nomex suits for civillian GA cockpit builds? Just interested ... I have an Aztec/twin prop cockpit with lots of lovely detail, it just doesn't seem right flying in shorts and T shirt.... Any body out there braver than me? :)
  6. Helitraffic 2009 is fantastic, in my local flying region I have lots of custom chopper traffic flying around (air sea rescue, police chopper, local airport traing flights, etc.). Its very customizable, I even have a Retro file only with RAF choppers from 1982 for my 1982 RAF FSX scenery.
  7. I also have an object high above Lincolnshire, thought it was Sleaford, but Cranwell is in that area. Thought it was a cute add in, but I'd like to get rid of it. I have UK2000 Airfields v1
  8. I've got a nice freeware scenery for Puerto Rico and thee is a UFO high over the mountains to the east 'Chupacabra country' I believe!
  9. This morning I recreated the flight of the Kirby's in the King Air in Jurassic Park 3. We took off from Costa Rica, SAn Jose Airport and flew south and east to the DAV VOR where we dropped under 1000' and then followed the 114 radial out to 'Isla Sorna', which I had to replicate using Panama's Isle de Coiba, an uninhabited national park. Once over the ocean I dropped to 300' to avoid radar. Coiba looked OK, but FSX did stick in some farmland as well as thick jungle, I presumed the habitation was what was left of Site B. WE circled and I found a spot to put the King Air down. Unfortunately not a sign of any dinosaurs!!! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v299/lord_mithras/Aircraft/2015-10-4_10-34-24-859_zpsmernlzgb.png http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v299/lord_mithras/Aircraft/2015-10-4_10-42-10-446_zpskrucyp1k.png http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v299/lord_mithras/Aircraft/2015-10-4_10-45-40-201_zps1nhn97jz.png http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v299/lord_mithras/Aircraft/Untitledzz_zpss625epri.png We
  10. The news is a great inspiration. This weekend I am ferrying Prime Minister David Cameron to his European meetings, Holland, France, Poland and Germany. I've just come back from 2 days in London (my wife was at a breakfast at St James Palace, with Camilla and a few celebrity actors and writers) and I sat at Buckingham Palace watching A330s, 777s and A380s crawling past on a slow turn onto finals, turbines screaming, flaps dangling ... So today I made a couple of flights in a A321 from Schiphol and Brussels onto the same runway, and I could see Buckingham Palace beneath me when I could spare half a second.... TV documentaries, anything really. All gets me flying. After watching an air crash show, I replicated JFK Jnrs fatal flight in his Saratoga using my Carenado, managed to get the time right, and found a weather theme that was perfect. With lots of mist. Like JFK I flew visually at night. I didn't crash, but did miss Marthas Vineyard, identifying an island further west for it. Soon realised my mistake and landing OK.
  11. The A2A planes have autopilots? :) I have too much fun flying them to hand over control to a machine ...
