Re: World of AI flightplans

Hi Nick Interesting question. I use WOAI traffic and never thought of that. I believe that the flights are created on a certain timescale, for example Winter 2010 / 2011 or Summer 2010. These don't change and are used whenever you fly wether its spring, summer, autumn or winter. I've used TTOOLS for...

Re: For Anyone in the Derby Area Who Likes Ugly Aeroplanes..

Totally agree Garry. The photo on airlines.net showing the 787 in formation with 2 Spitfires is a good example of two beauties and the beast. http://www.airliners.net/photo/Boeing/Boeing-787-8-Dreamliner/1745307/M/ But i suppose some people like it - just like marmite, you either love it or hate it....

New HD for FSX

I am contemplating buying a new hard drive specifically for FSX. I have a spare slot in the case. Currently the main programme is on the 'C' drive and some scenery is on the 'E' drive. Although it runs very well at the moment the 'C' and 'E' drives are only 160Gb each and are getting full. (Other pr...

Re: Zeppelin flight

Thanks for your comments. We had a good clear day for the flight. We should have flown the previous day but it was too windy. The pilot was indeed Kathryn Board the one and only woman zeppellin pilot and British too. There are only nine qualified Zeppelin pilots worldwide. Thanks for looking and you...

Zeppelin flight

My wife and I just returned from the USA and while in Los Angeles we managed to get a flight on the Zeppelin NT Airship at Long Beach. It was a 1 hour flight from Long Beach via the harbour with great views of the Queen Mary. http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g109/Daviation/Zeppelin%20Long%20Beach/_...

Heli Traffic 2009

Has anyone else tried this? I have downloaded it from Flight1 and have been 'playing' with it tonight. It is very easy to use. I have created two simple flight plans and the take off and landings are extremely realistic. The default helicopters are used. It workd in FSX and FS9. You can use existing...
