Classic British Flight Sim

Richard - The VOR section of the link I mentioned explains the basic electrickery needed to turn a Non Directional Beacon into a directional one. Once you are able to transmit 360 individual radials, you can limit the transmission to only a few of them, and there you have a Localiser. Lay it on its ...

Hi Richard -
You are sure to find something useful here:

There may be slight variations in local regulations around the world, but the basics are always the same.

If it wasn't so serious, I would be asking my usual "Why do they keep letting all these other people on the road when I want to use it?" Really, if you get caught speeding it is your own stupid fault. I keep a good lookout, think like the enemy, and beware the hun in the sun, and they have...

Well, for BigBeast (aka The Flying Machine) I only bought a 2.1 speaker set. As I sit at my CH yoke, pedals and quadrant in front of the screen, the speakers are all about 1' behind the screen with the left and right ones being nearly 3' either side. Sitting in Eric Dantes' Twin Bonanza at EGGD, I c...

Nice work, Nigel ! At the end of the day all (haha, "all", he says) that FS does is figure out what the next screen should look like, and what noises should be made at that time, and send those instructions to appropriate hardware for final delivery. That is a massive calculation involving...

That's enough to bring down a government - what are we waiting for ?

Nigel, Peter - I don't have a sound card in the current Flying Machine, but I really should, since anything that takes some work off the CPU should improve FS9 performance. A couple of years back, I suddenly found the runway at EGGD was disintegrating under me as I took off :o . I soon realised the ...

Cheers , hobby - I am a recalcitrant 'Flat Earther' meself, since my very good-looking FS9 just has too much blood sweat and tears invested in it to be abandoned. Bear in mind, that when MSFS first appeared, it was a very advanced bit of programming and the mapping method was the best compromise. It...

Hi Hobby - In my FS9.1, I have the Visual Flight/Getmapping VFR Photoscenery with the VFR Terrain mesh. That does England and Wales very nicely and reaches a little way into Scotland. In Scotland I have Scotflight with Andy Weir's mesh - you can find it at avsim, but Andy's name may still be spelt w...

And there wuz me, expecting an open cockpit taildragger with a big V-twin on the front :o :doho:
