I was down the pub last night so missed the opportunity to inaugurate services :sad: To compensate though, I'd like to supply the graphic for the 146 if I may?

Hi Toby,

I don't really know which I'd choose but I have a feeling John will go for No1 as this fits in with the rest of our shots. Love the last two mind you.. you can almost smell the aviation fuel

You posted your type-rating request to John on FlyNET yet?? :think:

Love the last two, but number 3 would be good for the flynet shot, a wee bit different.

I liked no 2.

Looking at the way it needs to be cropped for FlyNet (short & wide), it may not work though. Same with no 3?

Hi Dave,

I pre-requested it a few days ago actually. Owing to being down the pub last night and in no fit state when I returned, I waited till this morning to relocate myself to Soton and pick up 'my' aircraft, G-CNMF for a flight to GCI. Peculiarly got no beep when I taxiied off and a quick pause and al+tab to the desktop whilst in the cruise confirmed my suspicions that the flynet client had mysteriously blown up. I decided to fly on anyway until I managed to knock the PC with my knee and it reset itself (and no, I'm fairly certain I didnt touch the resert button). All in all

Will try again later!

Well I got there eventually, did a short hop to JER and then back to SOU. Been using the Eurowings one which I havent actually flown that much. Cant say I like the flight model too much... climbs too easily after takeoff and seems a bit quick. Autopilot is a bit unstable and it loses a lot of height whilst turning. Approach doesnt seem quite right either, should be in a slight nose-down attitude and I'm finding it hard to make a gentle touchdown

Might have to try the JM one again. What we really need is a new model :think:
