... I got away from KJFK ...
Cross the States and the Rockies to Los Angeles.
Close encounter ...
"Damn Americans...smoking weed we have...?"
"Flying with the force we are...?
flying westbound, and evening closing in...
A postcard ... VC10 in the sunset...
Not far now. Nice cirrus shadow over the sun. Oh, and found a texture-bug (right under the tail ;-))

I think this is the longest 'booked flight' in the history of the VA
Glad you finally got away ;-)

You won't believe it, but we got our selves a new kitten today as well ! :doho: "Nymer" 's the name ... (our daughters choice)
Bunny finally got a name:
"Flaps"
How could it be otherwise with those ears!
Now there are more animals than human beings in our family! 1 dog, 3 cats and 3 bunnies.....

Well several FSX-freeze at V1 made it quite a struggle, but finally got around it, now it's perfect.
just one thing: Firmly seatd on the ILS inbound 6R a KLAX I constantly got "Don't sink" .... :think:
Anyone dare a guess why?
Altimeter set correctly, speed, trim, everything OK, still - "Don't sink"
ATM I haven't got a clue...
PS. (hadn't got anything in my mouth either...)

Hi Dan..
One of the first things I did in FSX was to find the offending gauge and rename it. I don't do 'Bitching Betty's' under any circumstances

Hi Dan
I couldn't find them and presumed I'd done the decent thing and deleted them but no.. I put them in a new folder.
Look in your main sound folder and you'll find 6 'Bitching Betty' sounds.. GPWS_Dont_Sink.wav, GPWS (you get the idea) Pull_Up.wav.. Sink_Rate.wav.. too_low_flaps_up.wav.. too_low_gear_up.wav and finally.. too_low_terrain.wav
I suggest you make a new folder and deposit this rubbish there immediately
