You nailed it.

Pretty cool CAP. I've been considering this new release for purchase since its inception It does look like it would give the processor a go though. As far as if the bombs hit the target, I would be satisfied to believe the bombs came close enough to get the tank crew to soil themselves. Happy hunting.

Saw this at the air show in town last year. The pilot was giving free rides to the kids. I thought the co-ordinated tail and rudder system were very cool.

My Grandpa used to say that if your body is in perfect condition when you die, regardless of age, you haven't lived a full life. His goal was to be a total wreck by age 95. Liver fried, skin crispy from too much sun, scars on most of his limbs from doing crazy stunts, and heart palpitations from too many adrenaline rushes. The secret is timing. Don't do it all at once, (like Charlie Sheen). Pick your adventures carefully. He lived to be 101 yrs. old and died in his sleep with a smile on his face. I'm trying very hard to follow in his footsteps.

I ran X-Plane in the program folder in an XP operating system. No problemo. Lose Vista! Microsoft will be the first to admit it's a terrible operating system swimming with bugs. Make the leap to Windows 7. It's an easy install upgrade from Vista. Rock steady platform. There are two program folders, regular and x86. Use the regular one.

The waving flag, (and some other animations in Openscenery), requires the Sandy Barbour Plugin, CustomSBDatarefs004 plugin, to wave and work correctly. You can get it here, http://www.xpluginsdk.org/misc_plugins.htm, (scroll down the page a little). It is available for Mac, Windows, or Linux. I use it and have never found it to interfere or be incompatible with anything so far.

I believe you will enjoy this viewing of the B-29 Enola Gay cockpit - - the plane flown By Paul Tibbits dropped the atom bomb on Japan to end WWII. You will probably marvel at the technology used to allow you to click anywhere in the cockpit photo and the scene will change as you move your mouse!

All of the problems can be fixed. It does require Blender or AC3D. Unchecking the runway follows terrain button only effects the airport and not the terrain around it, otherwise, theoretically, you could flatten Mt. Everest and bury the Grand Canyon. Not acceptable for anyone concerned with scenery. I've corrected converted sceneries before and it can be a bit tedious. If you want to dabble in scenery, there really is no way to stay away from 3D architecture apps. without being forced to be dependent upon other peoples objects. Don't be intimidated. You would be surprised at what a few little tutorials in Blender could do for you. If you're smart enough to learn Overlay and WED, I believe you could take another step up to learn a little, (or just enough), of the bigger applications to suit your needs. It all comes down to this, How much do you want it?

My condolences to those effected by the floods. I think we're starting to see proof of the climate change we've been warned about. I hope there's enough time left to get the environment back on track. Good luck to you and yours Simon.

This is the first time I've ever heard crickets in a website...

Amen I was able to find both addresses no problem.

Hi guys, The scenery is mine. That is, I created it. It is an experiment in Ultra High resolution draped polygons. Flying over it is an extraordinary experience. My house is at the nose of the chopper, not the shadow of the chopper. I was careful to match the time of day and season with the same time and season of the photo so the shadows would match. (About 1 pm, middle of Summer). So the effect is a very realistic screenshot. UH-60 Blackhawk , The livery is stock with the chopper, (C74). A half a mile from my house is the Army Supply Depot. So the livery seemed appropriate.

Flying over my house in the 206. The commute was a breeze today! My house at the nose. 206 shadow at 4 o'clock.

If it doesn't have animated doors and windows, I'm not buying it...

Thanks again! Link established in our resource area at C74.NET.

The Texan II T6, by Raytheon Beechcraft. Somebody was asking about other Texans available... Flys fast and shoots fire from it's nostrils. Oh yeah, there is another!

Feliz Navidad y un Año Nuevo prospero a todos. Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year to all.

My heart goes out to the co-pilot. My disappointment goes out to Air India for putting this poor soul in this position without the proper training. I trained young people in the Fire Academy for many years and have a lot of experience in what can go wrong in an emergency situation when someone is not properly trained for it. I'm certain this would not have happened had he been prepared. In my opinion, the co-pilot has every right to bring a lawsiut against the airlines for putting him in that position. A couple people in this blog got it. They were able to look beyond the end of their nose. Those people blaming the co-pilot need to give it more thought.

"Never buy a pig in a poke." I don't buy anything without getting good information and reviews first. I need to see good quality pics of the interior and exterior. I watch the websites for comments and reviews and see if there is anything significant to be concerned about. And then, very carefully... I reach into my wallet. Good quality freeware is rare. Oh, it's out there, but it's rare. I find most payware to be an arms length from perfect as well. There's really only a handful, (if that), that are putting out desirable aircraft. And of the handful, there isn't a large selection of aircraft to select from. X-Plane is evolving, and so are a few of the payware vendors. New versions of X-Plane allow for better framerates with the more technical aircraft, allowing the vendors to create planes that are more elaborate and sophisticated. Flat unbaked textures that were acceptable yesterday must give way to the richer and higher resolution textures of today. 2D has evolved to 3D. Some vendors can keep up, others can not. Do your research, scrutinize the data, and then make your purchase. Demand your money back if you're not satisfied. Report abusers, (rip-offs), on all the significant blogs. (Call them by name so that others will know!)

I took C74s retextured C150 over KTCY for some quick touch and go review... A simple aircraft to handle with a lot to offer for training.

ROTFL

Roger that. Found the comments link. Thanks again.

I hope Capnsully is seeing this too... I do like to shoot video from time to time and this seems like a great little device to bring more reality to the sim. BTW djt, that's an exceptional platform you're running. I would think NASA might wish to lease it occasionally.

Oh yeah, it comes in the set. Comes out to about one dollar per plane. The Pipers are such a great deal. So I've got the same set as you.
