Hawker Seahawk please

For those who like to make, or modify, panels the following FS9 navigational radar gauge might be of interest. I have not had time to try it out myself and the illustrations do show coastline echoes on the screen.

This thread has produced some very interesting and informative answers. Thanks to all who have answered so far. I do hope that other real world pilots from different parts of the world will also contribute. Spider crabs (2Tons) - hope none escaped and a jiffy bag of springs! I wonder what the Captai...

For Kevin and all who may be interested: The reason I suggested that the testing of Fs9 modified AIR or acft.cfg files be carried out in nil wind conditions is that I believe, and I could be wrong, that most of the published reference material regarding real world aircraft performance - speeds at di...

May I suggest that you also ensure that you convert IAS into TAS at whatever height you are flying and that during your tests you have nil wind conditions or at least make corrections for wind velocity.
