VH-KDK Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 I am now heading off from Shoreham for a training flight but the instructor told me to beware of Emus! 1. So lets look for something to do. 2. How about some precision flying between the trees along the railway line which should be clear as Southern Coastway West trains always run late. 3. Cripes, it's the 11:47 to Worthing. Southern must have Mussolini working for them now as their train is on time for once. 4. I don't know if there is enough room for the two of us. 5. No, and this Emu isn't giving way. 6. Power, hah power! Enough to got out of harms way. 7. No contest and I am the turkey for losing the chicken run against the Emu. Just for those that don't know but an Electric Multiple Unit train is referred to as an Emu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

renault Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 These are great Martyn! Out of curiosity, is the European style train part of the Shoreham airport package. I have never seen it before. From an email conversation with Tony, he indicated that he would be updating the trains in the next TEGBS update, which would be great as the NA style loco's etc look a little bit of place IMHO in the UK.

Rodger Pettichord Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 "Ralphie, is that a bird I see over the track ahead?" "No, Billy, that's a bloody kite!" "Well, we're gonna hit it, mate!" "Don't matter for naught, Billy. It's just paper and balsa." "WHOA! That wasn't no bleedin' kite! There was a bloke in it!" "Well, he shouldn't a been on the track, the bugger. We got a schedule to keep." "Right O. No blinkin' kite-rider is gonna slow the ll:47." "Just a bug on the windscreen." "You gotta wonder sometimes about these civilians.

TE NED is pretty close I would say and there are trains running around Eastleigh in the Southampton Scenery as well as many other ORBX add on sceneries. Don't despair Jack, there is plenty of life left in P3D for a long time yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers R Many thanks R. The train is part of the Shoreham pack for XP. It is similar to the Class 313s that run along this line. That is good news about the trains being updated as that will extend the realism that the trains have already added. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

olderndirt Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Almost missed this one. What's this standoff with a train - they'll be on strike now for months . Those four sided trees should be banned from Flightsim - just like me they look good from a distance but............ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
