It is just Wet here today...

Post by petermcleland »

...as the snow has turned to rain. Here are a few shots taken as I wheel the Sea Vixen around the circuit at McLeland Field:-

Not the nice Christmassy scenes of yesterday as the snow turns to rain as I take-off in the very noisy Sea Vixen.

Image
As I start to turn finals, I'm up clipping the ragged bottoms of the rain clouds...

The full short sequence of shots can be seen by clicking this address:-

Peter
The Gear Indicator doubles up as a Flap and Spoiler indicator
the Starboard Edit : Port Red light indicates that flaps are down, similarly if airbrake is deployed the Nose Red also displays.

Peter,

apologies for the double post!!

Nice shots (as always)

Sorry Port Red is Flaps..Starboard Red is Gear only (no double assignment)

Regards

Jim

Funny really...This suggests that the port red should not show if the wheels are down:-

Well that image refuses to show but it says:-

"Whenever the flaps are at any setting other than fully up and or the elevator tab is out of its neutral setting the port red light on the undercarriage position indicator comes on, provided that the wheels are locked up."

Anyway.. I'm sure your project will be fine as I've got nothing to do with it! :lol: Has PM got FSX loaded then. No.. don't bother answering as it's not important ;-)
