I get the feeling he's done that once or twice before John. I dunno why he didn't cut out the middleman and land on the taxiway

I was about to say the same thing Dave, it looks ok until something goes wrong!

Unless the person filming it had done it before but if not i hope he/she had a clean pair of pants/knickers with them,

I see what he was doing. He wanted to get to the bar before the parachutists so he didn't have to buy a round

I can't even do that in FS where the consequences of misjudging it are slightly less ... er ... consequential

Or can I? ...

I think you can mate I can see the CS B52 doing that into Bowerman as I type

Perhaps if you had a TrackIR mate. All round visual awareness is key to that sort of thing and something I find terribly lacking in FS.. especially in a VC in FSX using the POV switch

You can't do that stuff!
Even when you see it done at airshows, you CAN'T do it I tell you.

Stop giving me challenges, DaveB!

Run for your lives, animated peeps!!!!!!!



Only kidding! Going round again!

On the subject of panning round in FSX VC, I have a Saitek stick so use the mouse "joystick" on the throttle and a button on the stick to replicate holding space bar and panning with the mouse. I also have a key set up to snap back to front, i.e. Ctrl+Space. I find this so much better. It takes a bit of setting the mouse to pan at a controllable rate.

Works for me.

Its easier in an open topped kite in the VC on .3 zoom I find - I do it most of the time to save time in the circuit! Not in the RW though!
