Here is the announcement, how MS Flight will be: http://www.simflight.com/2012/01/microsoft-announces-flight/#more-28615. Still laughing... Well now we know that Flight is out of comparison!

Perfect!

About #1, there is a third FMC behind throttles. Press RAD/NAV and you can type in the scratchpad the OBS setting you want. That you put it at the 3LK.

What's the dataref for toilet paper to unfold???

If you don't wake up at night thinking about blender, you are still OK. And if you don't introduce yourself as Simmo W Modifier... you have long road to go...!

Well, i've done a couple things myself (here my new airport: http://forums.x-pilo...s-airport-lg02/). I'm "playing" with blender last couple of months, and I find it not toooooo difficult, but very powerful. Watching tons of tutorials helped me a lot. I cannot judge myself if I can give something here, but I would like to try. Here is something I made in about an hour. This is the control tower of Eleftherios Venizelos International at Athens, Greece, with it's support building. Lighting is not that good, i put a couple of them just to take a picture!

Ikaros Airport is a private General Aviation in Greece. Its location is 20 NM west north west of Tanagra AFB. It has one rwy (09/27) with length of 1000m. It is used only under VFR. That's mt first try of creating an airport. I choose that because it does not exists in XP, and has a fairly single layout. At this point is about 70% complete, of what i want to do. That was made from scratch. Hope you like the pics. More to come in a few day. It will have more detailed texture and a few more objects. Hope it will be ready for download.

Well, first of all, nice flying! Waiting for that guys to kick some...PMDG's ass!

There are 2 things that you must have in mind during approaches with helicopters. 1. There is an area in airspeed (about 16 to 25 kts), where transitional lift phenomenon takes place. At and below that speeds, and at an altitude greater than 50 ft, the rotor goes into its own downwash, so there is a "sink" to the ground. 2. At low speeds (<40 kts) and hi rate of descend (more than 500ft/min), also the rotors goes into its own downwash. So, the best technique is to maintain 40 kts till about 10-20 ft above ground, and descend with less than 500 ft/min.
