what didn't I fly today?! I flew nufink, struggling with getting more confident with sketchup, applying textures is fiddly as hell. making up some funny signs as practice. I don't know how u pros do it!

[samen]

Nufink. Is that a new plane.

Features include.

1) Flies like air

2)Completely invisible

3) No effect on FPS

[Simmo W]

Where did you get or make that paint!

A conclusion of a series of flights between Sydney and Honolulu. All done in Cessna Corvalis, with occasional island exploring done with other aircraft. The last leg was a 1231nm non stop flight from PLCH to PHNL. Now I'm going to stay on Hawaii for some time, this being the third such adventure, as I'm strangely attracted to this part of the world

Desperately looking for a good LEAL apt.dat (or Olas xplane scenery)! This is the Eiresim Alicante, a fs2xplane conversion. Looks good here, but actually the fence is removed, the ground textures should be... both producing black images from different angles, especially on ILS. Also, the ap.dat only is parking positions and a transparent runway. Would be worth to rework this scenery (create good apt.dat with xplane textures, use overlay editor to remove the distracting fs2004 textures), but my skills are still limited.

And another flight of today started in Ibiza.

Flew out of KSEA early this morning and headed up to CYQU (Grand Prairie) on my way to CYZF (Yellow Knife).  As CEO of Air Northwest Virtual Airlines I have access to some great aircraft.  Air Northwest is unique in that we have a lot of vintage aircraft to fly.  Check us out at www.airnorthwest.org.  This is our L188A Super Electra II

Rather wonderful plane!

Every duchess needs a duke

Awesome picture!! You're using XWing plugin correct?

[Lukasz]

Of course, not Duchess is being controlled by X-Plane native AI, and I'm following her manually in Sundowner.

Ah ok got it lol

And you have been able to fly fast enough with the Sundowner to stay close behind ? Nice AI !  ;D

I'm still reading the excellent POH, but I couldn't wait flying it so here are my first shots:

Just awesome ! Goran, Theo, congratulations for this work !

[steven winslow]

You guys are mean!  I just got my Duchess but I can't fly her until tonight!  It's gonna be a looooooooooooooooooooooong day!

;D Yeah it's awesome!

AI speed can be set, so I've set her to fly at 100 kts, to avoid any troubles. It turned out to be actually too slow, to the point I got carb ice because of flying less than 1800 RPM. Sundowner is surprisingly fast plane, capable of doing redline while level at 3000ft. Just trim it, have the ball centered, full throttle and lean for best power. However, if you cruised in that manner in real life, that would be rather unique way of getting some time on gliders and a new engine, if you know what I mean

[Goran_M]

Very nice screenshots.

I've noticed a few screenshots where people are flying with the tacho at redline.

I think I'll write up a tutorial today to show you how to fly a Constant Speed prop aircraft.

Maybe throw in some navigation stuff with the HSI too.

[MaidenFan]

Took her for a spin around LOWI today.

Messing around in Hawaii

[MaidenFan]

The slope indicator on the runway was telling me that I was on glideslope, but this looks low to me.
