This video is full HD and should be viewed with the Quality clicked up to 1080p and the Full Screen icon at bottom right corner clicked.

Thanks for looking :)

Dipping wing tips into water there ,Peter?
:lol:

I just recently acquired a "newer" Laptop that is running Flight fairly decently.
Just picked up the Silent&Deadly Achivement in the Stearman :)

I was credited with having .... :shhh: - Insane skill..

Well done Joe...I have started doing more smuggling trips recently as the "Pay" is good (X points) :) ...I use the Maule for that. I didn't know you could carry any freight in the Stearman. In fact I'm not very fond of the Stearman and have failed a few times to do the "Biplane Sight Seeing Tour" up over the volcanoes.

Glad to see someone else here is using my favourite Flight Sim :agree:

Hi Peter,

Flying the Stearman is a job , constant attention to trim seams to be key though.

No hauling of freight in them that I've done yet, like you're doing in the Maule, just one tourist who wanted to see the sites.

Ten minutes out and I had to make an off field landing just so she could have a wee. ?..- Women!
.......... :lol:


I have some ten hours in the sim so far.
I've acquired my pilots license, 10 landings 10 hours, (opps said that) and having done all that, crashing only 29 of 100 aircraft. :agree: :doh:

No Maule to fly and I'm stuck on the Big rock.

But having lots of fun In MY new sim.
;)

No No, thank you :)

lol I nearly broke my controller keeping up with you!

It was a good session.
I love that road to the south of Hilo... flying down to a few feet off the pavement as the terrain creeps up....
between building and trees.... and bushes even. :hide:
