I was flying around Bradford when I spotted this at Allerton, not too far from where I live...

LOL

 

Some of us will have seen the (in)famous one near Dover Gliding Club, but I wonder how many more there are

Nice shot Steve how did u get the throttle to work.i have it sitting on the tarmak engine runny and can't throttle up

 

thank you :)

 

When you start her up, you want to make sure you flick the two switches. taking the engine off idle.

or.. an easier way is to press the "Ready for Takeoff" button, on the brilliant flip out panel.

You can also do other things from this panel.. like opening (or complete removing) the doors!

I still can't believe this helicopter is freeware. It's excellent & everyone should get it (from flightsim.to)

Great, you got it airborne :).

Nice shot too! The H135 is one of my favourite aircraft at the moment... especially with it being free! LOL

Great find Steve! I haven't found any messages, but I've just found an aircraft and it's shadow on finals to runway 23 at Inverness:

Cheers Tim :)

That’s a good one too! I’ve seen shadows of aircraft before but don’t think I’ve seen an actual aircraft like that.

  • 3 weeks later...

Some pupils at a New Zealand secondary school did a giant phallus in the playing field (using Roundup, I guess) don't know if it's still there. I think (can't remember) that it was visible to the very high-res satellite imagery to which some agencies have access. It was certainly on Google Earth.

I found a symbol-type thing on Ilkley Moor of all places. It could be a piece of Modern Art (ugh!), but whatever it is you can be sure that someone, somewhere, got a grant for doing it:

I’ll take a look at that later.

Looks like a target doesn’t it? Have you seen the poppies on Pendle Hill? I’ve walked up there a few times previously but didn’t know anything about them… till I spotted them in Flight Sim!

It does look like a target, maybe Robin Hood was here? :p I'll have to buzz Pendle Hill now, I haven't been over there yet...

Come on, we all know that crop circles on the fields are made by alien UFOs in the wee hours at night... ;)

Hey there's a thing - I wonder how many crop circles have been found in MSFS?

There's probably loads, but I haven't found any yet :)

 

One thing I have just spotted tonight, thanks to Orbx GB Central..

I noticed last week that Emley Moor mast was included but never noticed this

I know! I can’t believe there’s so much included :)

There’s probably loads we haven’t seen yet.
