VH-KDK Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Just departing from Ant's YBNE. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Soon after this image the dreaded FSX circle of doom appeared and that was it. I had installed the QW 757 which destroyed everything and has now been binned. Despite uninstalling it the L1011 needed a reinstallation and for the first time on this FSX install I had a crash. So now reinstalled FSX, ORBX AU with all the AU airports, OZx and ASN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers John It is something old and temperamental John. My fault entirely John as I was incognizant of the destructive nature of my QW 757.

Jack Sawyer Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Glad you got it sorted Martyn my friend! And I love your shots, it almost brings a tear to my eyes when I see an L-10, I miss working them SO much! Those were some of the best years of my miserable life.

Stillwater Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Nice shots, Martyn, though I was surprised to see a European (German?) charter plane flying down under. 14 hours ago, VH-KDK said: Soon after this image the dreaded FSX circle of doom appeared and that was it. I had installed the QW 757 which destroyed everything and has now been binned. Grrr. The circle of doom is sth nobody likes .... to remember. BTW, without changing anything on her, the QW757 had totally broken gauges in my last attempt to fly her in FSX. Seems her time is over. Are you brave enough to give OZx another try in your p3d? For me it works... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had forgotten that the blue circle meant death and was waiting for the plane to continue on it's flight. Last night I installed the first OZx pack along with Ayres Rock into V4.0. Looks good so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were way overbuilt, everything in the cabin rattled like crazy on take off but once airborne they were very smooth flying planes and extremely powerful. I loved those RB-211 triple spool engines. Rolls was way ahead of their time on those engines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like to see grass growing through the pavement in spots, it adds a lot to the ambiance of the strip, makes it more real. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
