Classic British Flight Sim

Bloody redcaps! All chummy till they've closed the door and then promptly put the delay down to the crew :tuttut: I was always getting overseas phone calls to explain spurious delay allocations. But we always forgave them - you never know when you're going to need them for staff travel! The most imp...

........how do you change the default airfield in FS9? and eventually No problems by switching to the VC10 ;-) Dan, I think you drive yourself too hard. You don't allow yourself to go to bed until you have mentioned VC10 in at least one post a day. If only you had been born early enough to have bee...

Chippies and helicopters would make landing a doddle. But it's not that easy, chaps! You have to get there first. You've got to fly from Kathmandu at a height of at least 13,000 ft to clear the lumpy bits with a load of mountaineers and all their gear (Dan and the sherpas will have to go on foot wit...

I was just coming back to mention another of my favourites when I saw Dan's link. What a terrific site, Dan - thanks for that, it'll keep me amused for years! I was going to suggest Lukla (VNLK), Nepal, (100m East of Kathmandu) which is the nearest airstrip to Mt. Everest at about 9,000 ft. In the d...

Juneau Intl (PAJN), Alaska, is one of my favourites. Lots of mountains around and a tricky offset ILS approach with no glide slope. I only use default scenery. Sorry about the non-British aircraft but I don't have anything else suitable to fly there. It's just for illustrative purposes. And don't wo...

In 1979 a Boeing 737 landed on the moon(!) Awesome bro! But not a lot of people know that three years earlier a VC10 landed on the moon en route to Mars. It wasn't recorded because the radio didn't work and they hadn't taken a spare. Tragically the Mars expedition ended in a predictably British fai...

Thanks, John, that's exactly what I mean - just a slip of the old doodah!

That looks lovely, John. I've bookmarked it for when I have more time.

I can't seem to find the Il 82. Do you have a link for that? A VCtenski would be right up my street!

It's great that we can now download a base package and add textures separately. There are so many beautifully painted aircraft that it has been difficult to choose.

Now I can have them ALL! :roll:

Thank you.

Your DH? I would have thought that your anal sphincter would have done a short blink as you passed the top :shock:



(oh dear, can I say anal sphincter?)
