Classic British Flight Sim

I have a Dell similar to yours , although mine is 3.2 GHZ P4, with a Radeon X 600 and it handles virtually any situation with framerates in th 20s, and more usually 40+. I should give your setup a thorough checkout as i feel sure you should get better performance than this

Thanks for that. I think it must have been a Nimrod with the smaller excrescences, prob the Maritime version as seen by Jonesy

Twice in the last 3 weeks I have seen what looked like a Comet 3 or 4 in flight.The first time it was northbound through Wallasey at about 8,000 feet, and the second time southbound. The only excrescences were the tank like protuberances half way along the leading edges, and thus it did not look as ...

Also the fuel trimmers are important - once you have reduced to climb power, use the fuel trimmers to keep the temperatures within permissible limits

beware also of intake ice - use the nacelle heaters

I find it quite incredible that a Connie and B17 should be excluded. Ditto the MS Paris which I flew a few times in the 70s and which was not unduly noisy either inside or out

Toby . I haven't lived there for 40 years ( I was at school there) but I still visit it from time to time. It is still a pleasant market type town, with an industrial side dominated by what was GEC ( just by the station, where the very first run of the Whittle jet took place before the move to Lutte...

It fell onto Queen's . It was a wake encounter as others have said.I have not read the report recently, but IIRC the problem arose from rapid reversals of full rudder at about 250 kts IAS at about 3,000 feet in the climb which exceeded the design load by a considerable margin. Jets are not really me...
