Here's a tip or two. 1. Don't put the same big headline banner as your sig on every fake account. 2. Change your gender from female to male. There aren't that many 15 year old girls into flight simming, and two 15 year old girls registering in a week? Hmmm 3. Change your username to something not plane-related - B737user, A320fan, 777been-caught-out. Get the picture? Call yourself Nicolas or Dave or Gordon Shumway or something, you'll blend in. 4. Learn to spell. Both you and Erik/Patrick can't spell "liveries" properly. In fact you both get it wrong the same way. 5. I may not be the sharpest tool in the box, but if I've rumbled you, then you can bet the more intelligent ones here will have done, too.

Let me guess, Erik/Patrick again?

It's a Robinson. Catching lung cancer is the least of your worries. Until you're safely back on the ground.

I'm guessing it's a fake airline. British Imperial sounds very fifties, but the livery looks very modern. Nice though.

Impressive. One question though, would that viewpoint alter at all if you changed camera angle? Just wondering, as what looks good in one static photo has a habit of suddenly going "out of shape" once the item moves, or you move the camera.

Touché. Thirty, fifteen. Next service.....

Wonderful. This is going to be a "buyer" for me.

Brabus CRJ, anyone?

For in xplane, or real life (yeah!). Or just dreamin...... No idea how much, but it's definitely got too many zeros in it for me.

Can you actually stop someone using something that was itself stolen from someone else? I thought it was distribution which is illegal, not the useage of.

Thanks Cameron. Dunno why the guy is so obsessed with "here."

Thanks anyway.

XP? Old? tsk. I gave up on security updates YEARS ago. It was getting ridiculous having to download and install updates every time I switched it on. And MS issuing end of life status? They do that with many things which run perfectly fine. No to Win 7, too many issues for my liking. Odd thing is, some of my music software requires (and runs) .NET framework (perfectly), iirc. Just Plan-G needs version 4. So if you're running XP, forget Plan-G.

Doesn't work. I'm on XP and it won't run .NET framework. Tried resolving it with Microsoft, but my system doesn't support it. Back to using Goodway.

It does now seem to cover Europe. I've just been looking at France on it.

Er, I what exactly would an aircraft taxiing back down the runway in the wrong direction constitute then? At the very least that prevents them from landing. Until the offender's off the runway anyway. In fact it states FR227's "made a 180-degree turn at the end of the runway, before heading back the way it had come – causing other flights to abort or delay landings." So I have to say they've been quite restrained (for the DM) and factual.

Don't see anything sensationalist there. They've explained concisely that FR227 made an unauthorised 180 on the active (which I'm guessing is about the biggest cardinal sin you can do on an airfield other than dumping your toilet contents at the jetway), causing 8 flights to be given immediate go-arounds.

'Ryanair, you just screwed everything' http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2283617/Ryanair-just-screwed-What-Dublin-Airport-flight-controller-told-airline-plane-forced-jets-abort-landing.html Aviation authorities are investigating a serious incident at Dublin Airport in which a Ryanair plane taxied the wrong way down a runway on which other planes were about to land. Ryanair flight FR227, from ­London Stansted to Dublin, missed its exit and made a 180-degree turn at the end of the runway, before heading back the way it had come – causing other flights to abort or delay landings. Dramatic recordings of Air Traffic Control communications describe how the Ryanair flight had to ‘brake hard’. Other planes were ordered ‘go around’. The Irish Aviation Authority is investigating the incident, in which FR227 attempted another unauthorised turn before being directed onto another exit. After the incident, another Ryanair plane, EI-DWR, addressed as Three Whiskey Romeo, asks the tower: ‘What was wrong with the runway?’ The control tower replies: ‘Well what happened was one of your company aircraft landed on runway 28, appeared to be going to the very end of the runway and just before they got to Bravo 7 [a runway exit], they made a 180 degree turn which, uh, just screwed everything.’ In the incident, FR-227 had been cleared to land on Runway 28. After landing, air traffic control called the crew and requested they ‘expedite vacating the runway’ which the crew acknowledged. Almost immediately, the incredulous­-sounding controller asked the crew: ‘227, have you made a 180?’. The response from the crew was: ‘Affirm.’ The controller immediately alerted the next incoming aircraft, Aer Lingus flight EI-249 from London Gatwick, telling it: ‘Go around.’ The Aer Lingus plane – about to land on Runway 28, where FR-227 was now taxiing the wrong way – aborted its landing and flew around the airport to come in for another approach. While Aer Lingus flight EI-249 had not been cleared to land, the flight was less than a minute from touchdown when the crew was forced to abort. The controller also advised the crew of the next inbound flight, Aer Lingus EI-627 from Copenhagen: ‘Possible go-around now, traffic has made a 180 on the runway.’ Ryanair 227 then called the tower to advise it they were turning off at taxiway Echo 7. The tower controller told the pilot: ‘No, you can’t make that turn. You’ve got to all the way down the runway to Echo 5. This meant that the Ryanair jet had to travel almost halfway back down the 2.6km runway. No other aircraft could land or take off until the aircraft had cleared the runway. Soon afterwards, the controller confirmed to flight EI-627 that it too would have to abort its landing and go around. The tower next made several attempts at finding out from Ryanair 227 exactly why it had made the unauthorised 180-degree turn rather than continue to the end of the runway and exit at Bravo 7. The crew explained they’d had issues with the landing and had had to brake hard. While the runway was effectively closed for less than 15 minutes, a total of eight flights were affected. It’s likely that the incident cost both Ryanair and Aer Lingus thousands of euro in extra fuel. Hundreds of passengers were delayed. Ryanair came under fire late last year after three of its planes made emergency landings in Valencia, Spain, in just one day. Budget airlines. Budget training. First Class screw-ups.

Tried it with absolutely nothing else - just black patch with red lettering with gold edging. XP hates it. So I flipped out. Not making stuff for xp to turn its nose up at again.

PPJoy's also used for connecting Windows (7?) to things like radio control transmitters, for if you want to use your rc controller to practice flying on sims like Phoenix, Clearview etc. That way you can use the transmitter you're used to for both real life, and in sim.

Thanks Mike, but no this isn't a bump. I use xp9.70 so it's not a beta, and with absolutely no scenery/trees/roads etc etc installed my 256 card was happily not under load at 176mb, so I can't blame the card. Whatever the cause, I can't resolve it and I'm damned if xplane is going to dictate what liveries I can and can't do, for me to find out only when I've spent long hours of work. No, this experience has irreparably eroded my enthusiasm for creating anything further for xplane.

As a result of this, I have quit making liveries. There's just no point, if xplane won't run it.

It means, I'm finished. Had enough. No more liveries. Finale. I've realised there is absolutely no point making accurate liveries if xplane won't run them. http://forums.x-pilot.com/index.php/topic/4622-strange-graphics-in-xplane-unexplained-blotchiness/#entry47761 When xplane dictates what livery you can or can't do, then it's time to stop making liveries. I don't like spending 50+ hours on a livery, only for xplane to tell me I've wasted all that time for nothing. So, enjoy the liveries. There won't be any more, and the new interior (above) is my last gift to the xplane community.

Parting gift: This is the new, brighter interior for the BK117. Interior/walls and cockpit are very light grey, and more in keeping with a new BK117, rather than a worn one. It was made for two liveries, but as xplane won't run them, it's now redundant to me, but it might be of use to you all. Simply drop it into any livery folder/objects. Enjoy BK-117_interior.zip
