Now complted my first 100 flights for the VA and have been spending far too much time flying when i should have been working

Just wish i didn't keep getting spurious taxi speed infringements. :crying: Really enjoyed it, brings in a whole new aspect to simming and a reason to complete flights.
Anyway i currently have a trident at Dyce, i was planning to also take one of the DC3's from there up north and then spend time flying around the islands in the Rapide. I assume it is ok to leave a second aircraft off base for a little while.

Nice to see someone else reaching 100 Richard.
'A reason to complete flights' is pretty much how I'd sum up CBFS flying as well.
Don't know why but it certainly works for me & makes me fly more.
There's no problem in leaving your Trident at Dyce while you take a tour up North.
You can take as long as you like & CBFS law says it should still be there when you get back. No one will take it while it's away from home.
Don't suppose your taxi speed penalties is due to you not taking wind speed into account is it?
FS showing you an indicated air speed & not the ground speed? :think:

Nice going Richard, no prob leaving the Trident there whilst you do a little DC3 flying whilst up there. I must get back into the cockpit myself again soon, I just seem to have got a paintbrush glued to my hand at the moment. At least being put to good use on the DC-3

so you've got plently of liveries to choose from.

Thanks David and John. With regard to the ground taxi problems i don't believe it is always due to the wind speed as on one occasion i was running a bit short of time, I completed a short landing run taxied off slowly and applied the brakes straight after leaving the runway and when i read the summary i had the penalty. Not too bothered about it though.
John keep up the work with the DC3's will certainly be using one when i do my next flight.
Heres to 200 flights
