Classic British Flight Sim

:lol: :lol: And I think I was the first to download it off of Avsim! (the d/l counter read a "1" after I grabbed the file on Saturday.....at least I finally win at something !) What a great little plane! I've been waiting for a Mig-15 with a VC for ages. Even despite the gauge issue, still...

Thanks for the professional insight! :smile: Weren't there a slew of accidents in the early days because of crews using the flaps 40 setting?....the old "if I can see the runway, I can land on it" desire coupled with the excessive drag of full flaps? Maybe I'll have to try and reinstall my...

Hi michduncg, Unfortunately for me, I haven't any first-hand experience with how a 72 really flies...but everything I've read and everyone I've spoken to state that the plane was a dream to fly. Although initial departure angles may have been steep, there's no way a fully laden 200 would climb out a...

Glad to hear you went with the Dreamfleet version! You won't regret it. It's actually not that bad once you get the hang of it. Give it a few virtual flights and it'll be second nature. The second time I opened all the cross link valves, and when the center tank emptied, all the engines shut down ev...

The Captain Sim 727 was actually the first piece of payware I ever bought. It's still a decent package, but the Dreamfleet 727 is leagues better in almost every respect....particularly the flight modeling and panel readability. If you're looking for a decent 727, I'd go for the Dreamfleet one....no ...

According to a news release by Phil, some topics of particular interest to this forum are due to be released all within the next two weeks from Alphasim. Woohoo! :smile: Supermarine Swift FR.5 De Havilland Caribou C-7 (and C-7A) F-4 Phantom Pack 3 (RAF, RN, RF-4C) EFA Typhoon Package Westland Merlin...

I've had this same problem on a few occasions, too....and with their DC-10 as well. I always chalked it up to random computer 'farts' (for lack of a better term :smile: )....but a quick search of their forum on Avsim reveals several others have had similar issues. I didn't see any mention of a fix, ...

I had it on my old machine before my HD gave up the ghost. Your summation pretty much echoes my thoughts; it flies well, but is hard on the frame rates...at least from the VC. The PMDG 737s actually gave me better fps from the VC than the PIC 737....which I found surprising. Like you said, the visua...

Oh, trust me....any and all Piper/Maltby creations have a permanent place on my HD. No questions asked. They're Gods among FS. So long as the gents don't ever do an Airbus creation, they'll have a lifelong fan from me. :wink: As for the Caribou....my Yank lineage finds the potential 'Air America' sc...

:redface: My apologies. I knew its lineage as a classic British craft was tenuous at best....but I also forgot that the new AS forums are password-protected due to (presumably) some miscreant hacking their forums recently. Regardless, I'll go back to drinking my Bushmills Single Malt now. Maybe in t...
