United Kingdom + Ireland: Fall 2016 [November 5th and 6th]

[Octal450]

And one more post (sorry)

Stay above 150kts, flaps 0, and she works decently. And trim her before switching the AP on. I can't verify LOC+G/S are working at the moment. I'm far to angry to test it. Back to FBW work...

24h countdown!!!!

[LesterBoffo]

For those interested in a challenge I'm running the Lodi-Tabor ferrys from Marc's Lake of Konstance ferry demo from Heysham to Douglas on the Isle of man. So go Grab your vehicle(s) and see if I can land you somewhere near the port dock..

I've included a demo .xml to set up the scenario, all you have to do is download the Ferry stuff from Marc's website.

http://marc-kraus.de/fg/

And you have to copy and paste the demo to the fgdata\AI folder make a copy of the Lodi Tabor demo .xml and rename it IoM_TT_Lodi_Tabor_demo, then select-all copy on this code and replace it into the copy.

We'll try this Friday evening about 5:00 pm PST (Saturday 0:00 UTC ) for those who want to play.

Code: Select all

Hi Josh
I just tested the King Air (commit 8329e4). It works great. It is Festival ready. AP behaved really nice. No problem detected with the flaps. I like it

Thanks

Presently traveling to EGUN with the KC-137R to join the Festival. So excited.

One other mini event to consider would be using FGUK's EGOD Mach Loop scenario. It's pretty much entirely in that airspace you have outlined, but it is quite fun.

and I challenge anyone to
(a) get around the loop in an F-14
(b) get around in less than 2 minutes and
(c) to beat my time https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jIdnQfwU1W4
