Bruce R Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 A 1325 mile flight across the Tasman to Gold Coast. The default weather threw in an Ozzie sunset. The airport is ORBX Gold Coast. About to fly over 'Kerri' which is the first waypoint on the RNAV-P for Runway 14. The airport is visible. Bruce R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I set up the flight before tea last night and after tea went and checked the progress. This is exactly how it was. No touch ups or anything. I was about half way between New Zealand and Australia over the Tasman sea. 49 minutes ago, Jack Sawyer said: How do you get pano shots? Thanks Jack. No secrets there. I have two 27" screens side by side with the flightsim spread across them. If I press the 'V' button, I get the one image as you see it. The advantages are that I can get a whole panel on the screen and panning around with EZDOK is great. The one disadvantage is I have the join of both screens down the centre. That pales into insignificance after you get used to it, and as I said, you can work around it with EZDOK. Bruce R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it's a clock. There's 8 different ones you can get. Here's a link to the store if you're interested. https://www.pilotshop.co.nz/gifts-and-toys/?pgnum=8 It's not big as this photo suggests. It probably the same size as the real thing - 85mm square. Bruce R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking on the rear of the clock there's an inscription - TRINTEC IND.INC. AJAX, ONTARIO, CANADA That's pretty close to home so you may find them you way somewhere.

Bruce R Thanks Bruce, it's a 50" with a little one I just bought just for Little Nav Map, it's free and quite useful. Not enough room in my man cave!

Dadtom65 Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 13 minutes ago, Jack Sawyer said: You bet! Hi Jack I have a similar clock as well. Had it for a few years now, think I bought it on the Flightstore in the UK. They used to do loads of flight sim stuff and a catalog and other aviation items, but now they seem to concentrate just the aviation items. Will try and send my pic to you but in bed at the moment. night night. Derek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadtom65 Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Meant to ask are they the Saitek throttles your using with the Warthog and are you using fsuipc to set them up. Plus Any reason for not using the Warthog throttle. Derek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus Any reason for not using the Warthog throttle. Derek. Hi Derek, I bought the Warthog stick for two reason, 1) my Yoko yoke won't be here for another few weeks, and 2) I like it for choppers. But when I get the Yoko it will be put away for chopper use. Those are VirtualFly TQ6 dual quads. I like to fly airliners so the quad is nice for that. Don't play games or have a need for the throttles as all I have is the F-100 which I fly only occasionally. Oh, I don't use FSUIPC, I sue SPAD.
