Re: Contrails

Cheers Gary, makes sense :) Must admit, so many A/C pass overhead, you get used to seeing the contrails and don't really look for anything odd. It just so happened I was sitting in the shed with the door open and the A/C was approaching directly in my line of sight so I had a good view! Funnily enou...

Contrails

Hey all Just saw a twinjet at altitude pass overhead on about 330 degrees. For some reason, for about ten seconds it's contrail vanished (today seems to be short contrails, nothing stretching way back), then reapeared for a few seconds, 'puffed out' and then appeared normally again. Never seen this ...

Re: PAMA orientation....

While my intention was to make my FS9 load on this pc identical to that of the old one (notwithstanting a certain amount of chaff that always 'sticks'.. that is, wheat and chaff.. not the anti radar stuff!).. it never happened and truth to tell, I doubt anyone ever gets one load the same as a previ...

:lol: :lol:

Is that what is 'officially' known as the PAMA fuel tanks?? :agree:
