Re: CL-44-O Guppy

What is clear in them is the APU exhaust on the leeft side of the tail [/b] Sorry guys afraid thats not an APU. It is the exhaust for the 60,000(IIRC) BTU Janitrol heater for the horizontal stabilizer de-icing. Sorry again for not dropping in very often but I don't get the time for FS these days bu...

Re: Europe scenery / mesh etc

I don't think there is a down load for FS Global. It comes in a box with 4 or 5 discs, can't remember the details as I am not at home at the moment. It takes quite a while to install as it covers the entire globe, i suppose thats why they call it FS Global. But I prefered it to the other meshes avai...

Re: Europe scenery / mesh etc

I use "FS Global" for mesh and I find it more than adequate, in fact over the Alps, the Pyrennes transalvainia etc it is quite stunning and I haven't noticed any real performance hits except it can be a little slow to load initally. On top off this I have Ultimate Terrain Europe and they d...

Re: So This is One Reason I Don't Often Go Payware

Confusing aint it :roll: I'm sure that our Aerobatic Expert, Peter will straighten me out if I'm wrong :flying: . Steve must get one of the...

Re: Converting to British Boost

Hi Paul, I forget the actual formula but 29.92 Hg =14.7 psi I believe. 29.92hg is the pressure for an ICAO standard day at sea level (1013.2 millibars or Hectapascals as we now have to call them) which is equivilent to 14.7 psi. I might be wrong but I am sure someone here will soon tell me if I am. ...

Re: Golden Age Simulations WACO F Series Package FS9/FSX

Hi peter
Nice plane, nice flying and nice video.
I should think the FAA would like to interview you on a number of subjects after that! :lol:

BTW that hill on the approach to 31 looks quite high, do you not require a displaced threshold there?

Love your work
Good luck CHEERS
