Thanks Jack, I am just thinking of what to have for breakfast but I don't think these sausages will fit in the frying pan. Besides that I don't want to be around when the skins split.

mglan80 Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Lighthouse hunting is a great idea. I was considering doing the same thing after seeing a few here and there. I'd love to do it in real life, but it's a lot easier in the sim! What'd be really cool is to see these guys in the sim (I've looked and no dice). They're triangulation towers from WWII era for shore batteries in coastal Delaware and New Jersey. Only one left in NJ, but still several in Delaware.

There is also The Bishop Rock in the Scilly Isles and the Eddystone off Plymouth. These all have helipads so maybe you can get your 747 down on some of them! Good hunting!

I have often wondered, in just an academic sense, what would happen if I swap out the 747's flight control config section with a chopper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point, I never thought of it till now. But I guess at sea anything above the water would seem high, don't know enough about sailing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
