I'd be disappointed if you didn't, Leif I can't be doing with all this one subject at a time stuff

Now being a Heathrow boy, I never knew about Callie kilt pins. I wish I had, because I'm owed one! I expect it's too late to claim it now

My Gatwick forays netted me one Danair, one Laker and one BCAL lady and the rest were all BOAC or BA. What other decorations do you reckon I'm entitled to?

Ian

what decorations???

<--Looking around for Steve

well...for Laker and Dan Air - the number of a good Doctor with abundant supplies of antibiotics :roll:

As I remember the BA/Airtours ladies wouldnt even look at us "nonsched rubbish" :roll:

James - unfortunately the Hong Kong scenery isn't free, it costs about £20. I don't normally buy scenery but I really wanted this one because it is such an interesting place to land. This airport closed in 1998 and is no longer used.

By the way, I like your BBMF banner - it looks really smart ;-) I'm not sure that your English grammar is quite so good in your tribute to Steve Irwin! 'You was the best there ever was' doesn't sound right to me. What about 'You were the best there ever were'? Hmmm....that's not right either Oh well - how about 'there wasn't nobody what was more better than what you was'? Perhaps we'd better leave it as it is! Anyway, bless him, he was really nice

Yeah It closed and the new one opened and its the first airport to be made into an island :o BBMF banner? :think: What I mean on the Steve Irwin is that he was the best widlife presenter that we ever had better then Sir David where he would leave an animal to get killed on the road as where steve would move it to a safer place . Shame he died

James :dance:

Well, being a Dane I maybe not the right one to say this, but I think the correct term would be:

"You were the best there ever was"


I'll cet my goat...

I am finding it too easy to land the VC10 at Kai Tak (haha!)

Well, I was going to comment on that but somebody beat me to it on the keyboard!!

Nice pics there Ian though I do have to say that from the VC mode that bl**dy Captains' seat gets in the way an awful lot!! Do they have a patch for that?

Nigel.

I have to admit...even though this is basically a FS2002 model warmed over for FS9, I have really taken a shine to it recently. Although the graphics aren't quite up to modern standards, the systems simulation is fantastic. Couple the RFP panel with the triple CIVA INS, and you've got a great setup.

Not sure if there's an actual RFP patch, but if you modify the Aircraft.cfg, you can move it to a more reasonable position. Just find the "[views]" section in the config, and modify accordingly. I've pasted my numbers below...

Brilliant Mark, many thanks.
