Re: More on AF 447

Reading the latest BEA update it raises lots of questions, especially not knowing the aircraft intimately enough to know what type of sensor is used for the AOA & whether it is duplicated - it sounds as if that froze too & how does the active computer know which is the most valid input? Cros...

Re: West Byfleet...

I just do not recognise the area now - my parents were born locally ( father in Pyrford, mother in Woking) & my uncle lived in The Close until his death in 2004. I lived with my Grandmother while my father was in ATA from 1943, until we moved to Camberley in '49. I went to school in Byfleet &...

Re: Austin of England

I would have known it as the Austin A40 Devon, about 1949/50 vintage, there then came the more rounded A40 Somerset about 1953 vintage ( I actually owned one of those - kept blowing the Cylinder head gasket between nos 2 & 3 every 3000 miles or so - I got it to a fine art; could change the gaske...

Re: Old&Ancient...

Very nice & steady flight - must have been zero weather! Couple of comments - the shadow on the ground shows only the structural skeleton & its obviously a modern manufacture because the cables ends are modern swaged variety as opposed to spliced if the cables are multistrand, or if one look...

Re: Simshed Tutor FSX!

Very nice modelling, but for me I cannot get it to perform as per spec, nor get the RPM below 2000!

Re: Skype

Can also be a great time waster! But very useful for also talking as well as making file transfers ( picture, text files etc) at the same time. If video gets 'clunky' because of a poor broadband link or busy lines then just use for sound or just instant messaging thro the key board. I only use for '...

Re: FSX Meteor F8 released

Dave, Thanks for the explanation, it also helps explain why some other FSX Acceleration kites work in SP2. I will now try & go to sleep on this subject, being really only a FS9 man with FSX lookins now & again....

Re: FSX Meteor F8 released

SkippyBing, thanks for the comment re Microsoft copyright, but this .dll seems to be needed because Rob has used the F18 HUD as his base model in making his instruments. I will be able to comment further when my requested acceleration update disc arrives from Amazon! Airboatr: I think the Meteor air...

Re: FSX Meteor F8 released

Forget the Machmeter it does not seem to be calibrated correctly & is not reading the equivalent of the airspeed. The ASI shows the correct speed when cross referenced to the Shift+Z reading at the top of the screen. As for ground instability cannot comment as have not tried that yet! I find tha...
