Classic British Flight Sim

Hi Dave ( both ) Many thanks for getting the id sorted, great job - I wouldn't have asked you to interfere with Dave M, as I appreciate CEOs can get extremely busy , its not fair to queue jump in any way over other things that need to get done That said, I appreciate all your help so far, looking fo...

On the question of flying how long does it take for FSAirlines to issue me with a pilots ID I assume with the numbers of VAs under their umbrella they must do the updates in cycles - I've parked myself at Manchester in a 1-11, set up the tracking software, just waiting for clearance so to speak Inci...

Hi Dave ( and all others ) Thank you for the welcome - my interest in historic aircraft began in 1965 when I flew to Gib in a vanguard, but remember being upset because I couldn't fly by Comet. First commercial jet flight in a 1-11 from Orly to Bristol. David Maltby's wonderful panels has only enhan...

Miken S1 It makes sense and I was beginning to suspect that there was no switch or button. even though every other tube I've flown there is a switch or APP button to click on to make the HSI ready to show the beam has been "encountered" . Thanks again FM In a way there is an APP button - ...

Miken S! But at the moment i don't know when to hit the glide button because I don't know what the Trident plane equivalent to the SFS button is? Can anyone show me where it is on the VC cockpit? thanks FM I think you are looking for something that doesn't exist - assume you are approaching the ILS...

To correct a few errors in my last post, which may ( or may not ) help: The runway in question is r/way 23, and the r/way with the ILS is r/way 5, Split Airport is LDSP ( not LOSP ), and checking on charts I now have, the bearing on leaving the beacon before the final approach is 52 degrees ( ie par...

Thank you Chris That is how I would normally do the approach say in a 737 where the autopilot has a back course switch. However, in the case of the Trident the auto pilot has three settings, Glide ( the standard ILS setting to intercept the beam ), Land ( used for autoland, as it accurately holds to...

I have recently started flying a trident using David Maltby's excellent panel I was approaching Split LOSP r/w 23 which has a back ILS. When it intercepted the ILS rather than line up with the runway it veered away. Is it not possible to use the ILS to align with the runway, I appreciate I would nee...
