Classic British Flight Sim

As I read it, it isn't the noise complaints that have caused it to close, although they may have restricted expansion. But with much reduced demand for charter and tourist traffic nationwide, the need for expansion must have reduced. According to the BBC report it has seen no commercial flights sinc...

Hi Garry, Certainly I am open to any and all ideas but the sad fact is that now I am fixated on the BV-141 it is entirely possible that as time passes I am recalling more of what I see in those photos than the reality of what I saw in that precious minute. (I always wonder about people who stand up ...

You gents are being very patient with me, thanks. Firstly, by its heading, I would say the first airport it would come across would be Coventry. Hard to be sure. Alas my heath prohibits outings at the moment. Looking at that Diamond, again I would say far too small. Comparisons of proportions with w...

Thanks for the good ideas, but no, not like that at all.

Must have been Dave's airfix kit on a day out.

Really strange . . . and almost unbelievable. Bet you all think I'm nuts!

Are you sure it wasn't one of these? http://www.aviastar.org/air/usa/rutan_boomerang.php Thanks - looking at the drawings and pictures I don't think so as: a) the wings were large, square-ended, and not raked, and b) the fuselage seemed more constant in thickness along its length. c) definitely onl...

Something very strange flew low and slow over my house today in Northamptonshire. It appeared to only have a single engine on one wing. After much scratching around the internet, I think it may have been a Blohm & Voss BV-141 - per: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blohm_%26_Voss_BV_141 and http://w...

Sorry to sound contrary, but I don't think what has been said is the proper or full answer. The aircraft.cfg file carries an entry like this: [Views] eyepoint = -16.385, -1.435, 3.012 Those figures apply from the declared centre-point of the aircraft, if I remember rightly they are, in order, distan...

I used to have this problem (in fact, I found the some of the AI folded up on themselves too) but I'm sure this was fixed with a new version of the model files from Rick but it was a long time ago. I certainly haven't seen it for some time. My current 700 and 700D model files are dated 30/8/05. John...

For the first time in my life FS9 crashed. First thing to do is to surely tell us what file caused the crash. FS9 will usually tell you the offending file and whilst that may not mean a lot on the face of it, it may help others to understand the problem. I have a list here of crashes I have encount...

Thanks, the improvements are appreciated.

Best wishes,

John
