Remember him well. So many high school dances with his music to set the scene. RIP Jerry!

""Kind of guessing the limits depicted in the MSFS menu aren't the actual airplane limits.""
100% agree with this Perk! I've always wondered just how accurate the menu for CG was to the actual aircraft. My guess is that it may be close most of the time and not at all close in others. In testing I've found the default CG settings after the initial install needed to be adjusted manually . I'm going back to check mine and run the numbers you show for a climb. They say it's about 12-13 minutes from brake release to sky dive jump altitude (13,500) in the PAC and can squeeze in about 6 turnarounds without refueling in a day. Love this plane.
Thanks for those links Nick. Most informative for sure.
On another note is anyone having difficulty trimming for level flight without the AP? I have an old Saitek Cyborg evo joy stick that I use. I've assigned two buttons on it for up/down trim. Maybe just too old? Or maybe I'm just too old.

Only semi legend I've met is Bob Reeves of Reeves Aleutian Airlines when I was stationed at NAS Adak, AK (69-71) Great guy and had some amazing stories of when he was a full on bush pilot.

Great addition. Now all we need is a Lockheed Electra L-188 in Reeves Aleutian Airways colors to fly to Dutch Harbor. Check out the story of Reeve Flight 8 for the aircraft and pilots who flew back in the day.
I was lucky enough to ride in an Electra L-188 Reeves Aleutian Airways aircraft in 1970 and 1971 while stationed at NAS Adak, AK. Met Mr Reeves at a dinner on the island. On my way home from Adak to separate from the Navy his wife was on board and served us home made lasagna! Sat near the rear door and can't forget the sound of the screws in the floor trim rattling/vibrating...lol.

I'll check the marketplace then. Do you know the name of the company or developer?

Who are they Paul? I'm not seeing anything in Orbx Central related to Models of the World.

Interesting topic. I was in Drone mode last night doing some testing when twice the sim froze. No warning, just stopped being able to move anymore. Had to exit the sim and restart.

Have to agree with Ross. Love this plane. Just watched as many UTube videos of this as I could find, amazing. In one there isn't a cover for the hole where the fertilizer is dumped into the plane. Just dump n pump! Awesome aircraft.

Lot's of smiles here! Hope it was a good one Gerold.

Oh yes I am aware that we're on a beta but it puzzles me because every other person I know who is running XPlane 12 with Orbx the lighting works perfectly.
Interesting. Could you possible have someone else that has the correct lighting post a screen to compare theirs with yours?

I don't fly helos since I only have a single joystick. Besides, helicopters don't really fly, they are so ugly the earth repels them!

For me, its just a MSFS default airport.
Phewwww! Thanks Rod, though I was losing it for a minute..lol

I'm seeing the same but I can't find EGCC as an Orbx or Partner product. Am I wrong?

Congrats on another trip around the sun!
