The 'Official' Screenshot & Tips thread 4 FSX enthusiasts & flight simmers.

Here's a video from of me in my Lancair Legacy from our session at Darrington Municipal (1S2) last week:

Look out for a cameo by Chaders.


And another of some rather swish VFR scenery and the default FSX Cessna.

The Lancair looks very nice! I was somewhere there? Maybe still trying to take off lol.

Nice vids.

I was going to upload our London City trip video which is crackin', but I was embarrassed by my landing, so haven't yet.. :o But probably soon.

My landing in the ATR is poor. Everything else is good. Last time I thought I was good to land, but ending up floating, so plonked her down regardless... I'm going to need to practice IFR circuits with this in the week.

Upload it we need a chuckle ;-) Floating would suggest you was to fast In the flare. I'm away from my PC stuck in a hotel in Exeter so I can't check but does the ATR have a landing ref page in the FMC to work out your Vref?

put it on mate, would love to see :p

Yes my landing isn’t great in the ATR too. Everything else I'm doing fine but landing is poor.

Just to confirm, when landing ILS in the ATR. You put the ILS frequency in then MCP, you click the V/L button when you close to the G/S and once you in then G/S you click APP hold? anything I'm missing?

Why don’t we do a flight tonight in the ATR?

I like that a lot. The one thing about set ups like that is you do limit yourself to one aircraft type. The thing I love about FSX is swapping aircraft to match your mood.

yes true mate, you dont want to go through all that effort(money) and you can only fly one plane!
 
IFR Circuits last night on VATSIM in the ATR at Cardiff with V and Stevie V joined us. Oh my goodness. It was a shambles..

I stalled my ATR shortly after takeoff and spent sweaty minutes trying to resolve that...

Then I head the command 'Turn Right, 030 degrees'...

Then then next thing I heard from ATC was 'You're turning Left, turn Right 030 degrees'... - Doh!

I made an excellent T&G at EGFF and then 4 nm on Final, I got booted off Vatsim and ended up crashing on the runway; with the blessing that no one else saw..

Thanks to Wycliffe at EGFF for excellent ATC.

Bottom line: More practice needed.
 
So Vuvuzela and Chaders, this is for you..

I have the London VFR Scenery and a modest system, so gameplay gets blurry and can come to a crawl.

1. TCAS Works :D
2. I should have delcared a missed approach :o
3. I forgot to put 'Power Management' back to 't/o' for landing
4. Landing could have been smoother and the center line was missed


3/10.
