Re: Has Anyone Done the Mach Loop Yet?

Nigel,

It's easy to get under the bridges but that plane you did the Loop in may not have the power to get over the hill to get away :(

Re: Has Anyone Done the Mach Loop Yet?

It is quite simple but best to take it slow/small plane first time as some of the turns are tight and getting under the two bridges safely is a challenge!!! I can get a Mosquito through the bridges - keep the flaps down :) . My favourite plane for the trip is the Vixen..

Re: Has Anyone Done the Mach Loop Yet?

Hi, I fly a lot around Llanbedr, a lovely place to fly in north Wales and sent a number of aircraft round the Mach loop. I have another nice run from LLanbedr - Fly north over Harlech then towards the hills to the gap on the left taking you in the valley with Snowdon on the right and Porthmadog to t...

Re: In search of Scouse

Hmmm,

As a scouser something I can see that something has gone very seriously wrong about the position of the 3 Graces, unless someone has re-routed the river Mersey :lol:

FS9 DH Venom

Hi, I have for a long time flown the "Hardy" FS2000 DH Venom and after a few tweaks found it a nice plane to fly. When I upgraded from XP to Win7 I noticed that none of the moving parts moved anymore, the most obvious being the landing gear which was also invisible, so stopped flying it. I...

Re: Thrustmaster T-flight Hotas X Joystick

Thrustmaster T-flight Hotas X Joystick

Hi, I bought one of these recently to replace my long loved, but worn out, Saitek Cyborg joystick. I've set it up OK but having Saitek pedals, I want to use the slider on the Hotas for trim control but it will only "populate" the FS9 Axis setting for the rudder. I've had a look at the manu...
