flying dog

MoneyBox, I'd be a bit worried because the picture shows 17/35 and yet the text says there is 18/36. and 08/26 but the text says 09/27. But to WHICH runway...... I'd say like any time you are landing: Depends on the winds/conditions

Wow!

I've watched the `changes to Bankstown airspave` video on Youtube. But as I'm not flying much these days.... 😞

I saw this video which is the flip side of the one above - I think. I've been to Oshkosh 4 times. Alas never flown. And - before anyone says I am being biased - I do appreciate the work that goes into getting it working. In some ways this clip is frightening that all is not as good as what is claimed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4rJEtpQ0r6A P.s. the person who made this has made other "releases" of the trip in this year. Dunno if they are any better than this, but they may have a better/different perspective to help explain the problems.

Since we are pilots.

Maybe. And just to check: Unusable or Unusual? But it would take a lot of "trust" in the plane to operate in those conditions - as they were close to it's minimums - and YOU being the one making the choices. Yes, "up north" it is/may be the norm. But you qualified it with WINTER. I'm not going to turn this int a pissing contest. I think they did a great job.

Well I spent serious 4 digit money on what I have. Getting a 40x0 type gfx card just now.... Would probably mean a new MoBo too. Though I won't begrudge myself stuff - hey, at my stage: life is for living. All the other crap which I am seeing I need - privacy problems IMO - with M$ "tracking" me... No thanks. Not just now.

BrendAn, I have FS 2020. Alas 2024 is not going to be got soon. I think it is beyond the specs of the machine. WRT the space problem. Alas another SSD HD is the only way I can think of to get around the problem.

I apologise. It was your response that I missed. I got a notification and didn't read it. Just saw your name and this thread. But when I got "here" didn't see a "reply" - forgetting the laugh. So I asked. Mia culpa.

Annoying news on a few fronts: 1 - it is FS2020. Not 2024. Oh well. 2 - I have 100GB free on the 😄 drive. NOT ENOUGH ROOM! 3 - My firewall gives me grief and I have XBOX and a lot of MS sites blocked.

I have a $hit load of hardware with it. I've actually built a semi cockpit for it. Front panel for the FIP and MCP and side panel for the radio, knobs, etc. And throttles. Just finished doing some tests. (USB stuff) I have - there about: Saitek FFB stick. Pedals. Cheap ones - as in they are plastic. I think CH brand. They work. Breaks, rudder. Ch HOTAS for single engine stuff. (And now it begins) 4 - Saitek FID Go-Flight items: 1 - MCP 1 - TQ6 1 - ATC 2 - Radio panels ? - button bar (8 buttons) ? - switch bar (8 switches) 1 - 4 * knob and 8 * button bar There are powered USB hubs to concentrate some of the devices nto 1 cable back to the PC There is also a switched USB hug so I can turn off groups of devices if not needed. The FIP and MCU are on the same HUB - well, not completely. 😞 I have a digitek 10 port powered HUB. If I put the 5 devices into it, 1 or 2of the FIP don't initialise on boot. Tomorrow I will run FS for the first time and hope it gets it stuff together and I an then start testing/assigning the controls to the planes. Oh, machine specs: MSI Tomahawk 550 32 G ram 3.3 gig processor. AMD 1070 turbo GFX card. (I think.) 21 x 9 monitor. (Curved) Bought in 2020 for a lot of money. Still does good. Not prefect, but it holds its own for what I do with it.

Skippy, I seem to have lost your reply. Sorry. I saw your name pop up with a reply but when I went to try and see it: gone. (Or did I not?) I got a few notifications and they confused me. But I am sure I did see a reply from you.
