Could you post the confirmed aircrafts to the other forum, and maybe a reminder that the event is tomorrow.


10 minutes ago I returned from geocaching expedition around Little Danube river with found score 10/14. But done :

@SHM-- Thanks for the invite. I can fly with you. I'm bringing the 757 variant C-32J. Sounds like fun!

Houston, we have problem with 707 !
This bird can't use center tank. I found nasty solution, but it is unrealistic - in the Fuel / Payload dialog use Leveling button. Is there some realistic solution ? Because center tank fix from https://github.com/sanhozay/707 doesn't exist now :(

I just did a test flight and everything went very well. ...Until I got into the canyon with a stiff tail-wind on approach for 05. There is no metar for NZQN that I could find from my normal sources, though I did get the QNH from Siri, so I don't know how fast the wind was blowing but the windsock was stiff straight-out. Halfway down the glide slope I was still doing 220kts, so I had to abort and do a tight orbit to the right and get lined up again. Got the speed down to 150 with flaps, but the descent rate by hand was a struggle. That wind was pushing hard. I crossed the threshold at about 80 feet, but my flare let me float just too far down the RWY. I got it stopped, but would like to requisition an extra 500 feet of landing strip. :lol: :oops: :roll:

Of course the approach to 23 requires the skill of a contortionist in a tight container... :shock:

If we gave everybody in the World free software today, but we failed to teach them about the four freedoms, five years from now, would they still have it?
