No, really, I wasn't playing. You may be young, but you have the capability to restrain yourself from being a nuisance and posting things that make no sense or just because you feel like it for the sake of quoting or playing around. This isn't going to be that kind of a playground for you. This is your warning. Next time the game is over.5 points

My first genuine Alaskan bush adventure ... dropping off a bunch of masochists on a desolate arctic windswept island . Actually it required two pilots in two planes ... but I just wanted to practice to see if I was cut out to do this kind of flying! Absolutely loving it by the way ... best kind of flying I've done, and that's fair dinkum! The pick up .... En route .... The drop off ...4 points

OK Im going to be fairly busy this weekend but here is one last shot.....I will start doing a video series as we get closer to a release, but if you look at this image the clouds are traveling from left to right across the screen due to the wind. The clouds will elongate into rows just like the real thing. I actually saw this recently since I stare at the sky more then I should nowadays...2 points

Hi Like to check if any else that is not able to become a member aat forums.x-plane.org I notice there are many links to that and some of the freeware referenced by the official X-plane links to there. I have registered but never received any reply email to activate the account there unlike the one for this forum which is fast. Email to them has no reply. What gives?? Any idea? X-plane I got is CD from retail shop.1 point

Leading Edge Simulations and X-Aviation have announced the Saab 340A has entered into the beta testing phase! As one of the most anticipated aircraft projects for X-Plane yet, this is great news towards a final release! You can read more about this in the topic here at X-Pilot. Complete with custom simulated systems, this is sure to be an awesome product for the study sim enthusiast!1 point

The DC-3 is one of my favourite planes to fly in the sky, but yesterday I flied from with a heavy load with passengers en goods from ENGM to ENSO and encountered many problems which I want to share with you. After a quiet flight for about three quartes during sunset and little wind I had to change my fuel tanks to the auxiliary tanks. I switched on the boost pumps and switched the left tank, then I switched the right tank, for some reasons this gave problems. Dragging the manipulator ended in shutting of the fuel flow and nothing helps to switch to the right tank. While struggling with the fuelswitch the right engine lost power and the engine fell out. Problem 1: Why is it so difficult to select the right fuel tank? Because I keep too busy with the fuel tanks, the stall horn warns me for a real problem, so I concentrate to get the plane in a level flight. Then I decided to feather the left engine: right mixture, right propeller and right throttle down, followed by pressing the red feather button. Next step what I did was setting the trim tabs of the rudder and aileron to get a more hands-off level flight. OK in the end I was flying again while loosed about 1,400 feet altitude. With the external view I looked to the propellers, but the right propeller still turns. Problem 2: Feathering procedure doesn't work, doesn't it? After applying power on the left engine I was able to gain some altitude so with 6,000 feet I alsmost scaped the fsjord of Norway 30 nm from my planned destination. After flying again I finally get the fuel tank selected to the auxiliary tank, so I tried to restart the engine, but I could not find a checklist to start the engine in flight, also some guessing of the procedures doesn't result in a starting engine. Problem 3: What is the procedure for restarting the engine in flight? Then after some minutes my monitor turns black and it looks like the GPU-driver restarted. After that the screen turns normal again (I have this problem very often with the DC-3 although less frequent with my new GPU (GTX 770) than with my old one (AMD 7950). Problem4: Is the DC-3 the cause of GPU driver faults? The airfield gets in sight and I prepared the approach, but while lessen to much power my plane lost to much altitude and with ine engine it was not possible to stop loosing altitude, so I decided to make a crash-landing on water. This attempt succeed somehow, after ditching the beach I was swimming in the sea, while the lights of the airfield flashes a wet welcome! See the attached picture of the crash landing. All in all it was quiet funny.1 point

He is so young dude ... I was so stupid like him some years ago ( though maybe a bit more polite but somewhat very irritating, now I feel very shame ) Hopefully, it's been solved now ( I hope ? ) But that is sure he will only get hostile behaviors from people by acting like he does1 point

Man, stop that now ... Pizza aren't as easy to make great quality ones ( Know what I'm talking about, my favorite meal ! ) You have to put good ingredients and have the skills to centrifugate the " pate "1 point

If you can buy only one, I would go for the Saab 340 - not out yet, but thruth is something from LES for X-Plane is like the A2A of FSX..... at least until I'm given reasons to think differently, that's how I rate their products... Well, the MU-2 is not actually LES ( I believe ) but let's consider it is as well :-)1 point

As we continue to move forward, beta testing has gone quite well. Our testers have been an invaluable resource with their real world experience, and this is translating well into the polishing of this project. I thought the following quote from one of our testers was a great compliment and wanted to share it with you!... I decided to go over the electrical system a bit this morning. Testing it is tedious, because it´s very complicated, and I often thought I found a bug, only to read up and find out that it works exactly as intended. My hat is off to the coders, excellent job!... ...Again, great job on a very complicated system!1 point
