very impressive actually. at the time my mate wasn't RN, but a civvy in charge of the sim - he was checking the operation of some software upgrades he'd just fitted to the sim and, whilst flying it, the RN Chief Instructor was standing behind him. my mate didn't know he was there!

when he landed, the Instructor asked him where he'd learned to fly a helicopter - he told him he'd taught himself on the sim! =))

the instructor said he was far better than some of his pilot pupils and encouraged him to join the RN! =))

he's now a RN Lieutenant flying choppers at Shawbury

that day with him at Culdrose was ace though - over 4 hours messing about in a £7m playstation! I even managed to land in my garden $\:D/$

the 1.5hrs I spent with him at Waddington was ace $\:D/$

how it looked from my perspective - that is before i shot past, only to be called "a runway hog!"...

apologies for cutting you up Mr. Thomas! ^:)^

here's another from the other day - i spotted an airship from my Comet XS235 'Canopus' - i had to go in for a closer look

I think the lessons must be paying off SM I didn't crash today =))

by **Saracenman** » Wed Oct 29, 2008 7:50 pm

well if that's genuine RAF training, I'm impressed........

Lesson 1: starting the engine
Lesson 2: flying under bridges

priorities!

I want a Lancaster and a Vulcan and a VC10 and a Comet and, and, and...!!! :((

Can't find them anywhere ~x(

by **Saracenman** » Thu Oct 30, 2008 5:27 pm

i only found the Lanc last night from a link that Mayfly gave me - http://flyawaysimulation.com/downloads- ... 25-25.html

it takes a bit of messing around though - you need these three zip files for a Lanc BIII

ftp://library.avsim.net/civil_flight/ms ... r_biii.zip - the Lancaster itself (there are a couple of others, like a BI, and a Grand-slam Lanc: ftp://library.avsim.net/civil_flight/ms ... d_slam.zip)

but you need these too:

ftp://library.avsim.net/civil_flight/ms ... ancpnl.zip - the panel (otherwise you get a modern 737 panel or summat :))

)

ftp://library.avsim.net/civil_flight/ms ... ncsnd1.zip - the sound of 4 x RR Merlins

and once unzipped, you need to put the contents of the sound and panel folders into the same-named folders within the Lancaster BIII folder

also, to give you the correct image for when you're choosing your a/c in FSX, you need to make a "thumbnail.jpg" in the Lanc BIII "texture" folder - here's mine if you want to use it...

otherwise, it just shows a generic image with a question mark

as for the VC10/Mozzie/Comet/Harrier etc - i really can't recall where we got them from now, but if you smile sweetly at Wedgy, he might be able to help you out

I look very tiny with 2 burley bodyguards =))

Must say both it was good I did enjoy it - Thanks

But just to prove I was close to you - is me flying NOT DT

by **Saracenman** » Thu Oct 30, 2008 5:33 pm

just pulling yer leg Mayfly - we were both most impressed at your ability to formate - we both know how hard it is, and we didn't even get to Belgium this time =))

It says I have to pay to register, thanks all the same though. Maybe next month when I have some money

by **Mayfly** » Thu Oct 30, 2008 5:40 pm

did you see me wizz past you .......a number of times =))

I couldn't slow down fast enough - now understand what DT means when he says the vulcan takes ages to bleed off speed :))

by **Saracenman** » Thu Oct 30, 2008 5:45 pm

IanM - i didn't have to pay
