Didn't think they'd be into the hooch in Capetown, but i'm pretty sure Jonesey will have a few tonnes of stuff needing shifted out of Alaska... :lol: :hide:

Well I'm over Greenland at the moment, having negotiated the MagPole...ATC certainly got confused by the very rapidly changing Variation and I had to cancel my IFR flightplan and revert to radar following...I'll re-file after I'm past Iceland as I would like radar positioning to the ILS. I've step climbed on FMC's instructions and am currently at FL390...I get one final step in about 4 hours. I set off at dawn on New Years Day 2010 but now it is pitch dark up here and even I am confused :doh:

That was brilliant Peter, thoroughly enjoyed watching the changing of colour of the lights, really was surreal. :welldone:

Hi Peter :hello:

Just trying out my new anorak :worried:

On the panel the reg says UR-VVF which is a Boeing 767 :hide:

Yup.. pretty poor on the part of CS. The same panel bmp is used throughout and considering the detail lavished elsewhere.. what would it have taken to have put a reg gauge there. I've never checked the reg and didn't realise it was a 767 which is even more disgusting though it doesn't bother me because I never fly it :lol:

AH right

I guess that Sel-Cal belongs to the 767 too.

All very well bleating about thei clever details but that is a shameful oversight :(( ......should be easy enough for them to do :)

Easy for me to do anyway :) Unfortunately, the same bmp is used for the VC too though unless you find yourself on your knees.. the reg is covered by the glareshield but still partially visible :)

Peter, you might want to check out Emil Serafino's RR 757 soundset. The best RR 757 soundset IMO. Can be found at Avsim with the file name 757_rb211v4_snd.zip
Error 482: Somebody shot the server with a 12 gauge.

Thanks Mark,

I've just downloaded it and I'll listen to the new sounds as I work my way down Africa :tunes:
