Re: Gliding in FSX & FS9

Thanks for all the replies to this, and the wealth of links... extremely useful stuff. I'm going to re-acquaint myself with the Sedbergh which I flew in real life at Swanton Morley ( but with an enclosed cockpit ) and find myself some newer ones for FSX. Once I have my new system, with some good sce...

Re: A beautiful day in the office... (VC10 Air-to-Air)

Unlike in the Colonies, one is loathe to use the expression ' awesome'. ;-)

But that first picture certainly is. :thumbsup:

Re: My first 727 flight

Very nice indeed. The 727 is a handsome plane anyway, and thats a lovely model of it.

Re: Nice FS Videos

Wonderful stuff. When done well, as these are, FS videos can be jaw droppingly good. Thanks for the link.

Gliding in FSX & FS9

Looked up out of the kitchen window this morning and saw a glider high over Cambridge, and it got me wondering who does it the two flight sims. There doesn't seem to be much mention of it, but I daresay everyone's had a go at some point. So, what are your favourite gliders and places to glide, what ...

Re: TrackIR 4Pro?

I never actually set mine up. Quite literally , I took it out of the box, installed the software, found a hat to fit the clip to, and fired up IL2 to see what happened. It worked perfectly from the start. I've never had to do any tweaking except pressing the Centre key occasionally when it got out o...

Re: Virtual Sailor: Racing Queens

How detailed is this ship simulator ? From what I can recall of the demo, it was more a slowly-moving-scenery sim, because steering around harbour scenery was just about all you could do. To be honest, I would have found a carpet laying simulator more interesting. In complexity, does it really compa...

Re: BBC Goes Flying 1950s'

Could have well have been the one, Garry. There were two Lincolns there, one more complete than the other. I can remember clambering over the main wing spar inside the fuselage. Later on there was a Hastings and a Canberra cockpit section we used to play in. We were based at Watton twice, by the way...

Re: BBC Goes Flying 1950s'

Blimey, the memories of RAF Watton that brings back. I used to play inside the fuselage of an old Lincoln there. And I wonder if that Meteor is the one that ended up as Eastern Radar's gate guardian ? A great find, Nigel, thanks very much. :)
