VH-KDK Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 I am not used to the realism in the misuse of the flaps or the disastrous censiquonses if you get it wrong. 1. Too fast with the flaps extended and I ended up in the panel farm. 2. Luckily it is only a sim so after a reload we are off from Bournemouth and turning east to the north or Wimbourne . 3. Passing the Beaulieu River no doubt chocked with visitors at this popular location. 4. The Fawley Power Station and refinery though are not as popular for tourists. 5. Gosport is on the left with the Portsmouth Naval Dockyards on the right. 6. Up to 50 species of fish as well as an abundance of birdlife is found in Langstone Harbour. The RSPB has purchased large areas of the harbour to ensure it's preservation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lifejogger Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 That the nice thing about flight simming, when you mess up you just reload and try it again. Enjoyed the flight and the screenshots!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Sawyer Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 A2A's Bonanza will do this too, caught me by surprise a couple of times. But after that very nice ones Martyn and as always a brilliant narrative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

olderndirt Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 One of the 'unmentionables' is the almost sadistic way your flight is ended by not observing flap speeds, gear speeds, CHT's and several others. No second chances - directly into the ground, a smoking wreck. All part of the 'realism' of this sim - "It's not a game" . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am now down to only 2 or 3 a day now OND, they say smoking is bad for you and I will definitely end up being a wreck! XP is a lot more unforgiving than P3D where certain settings were the only things in my life to the far left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lauriebe Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Nice set Martyn. Had this happen to me a few times recently. Took me a while to work out what had happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodger Pettichord Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Hey Martyn. Nothing like that helpless feeling when it's all going to hell and you are about twenty seconds behind the action-possible curve. At times like that, I let go of the controls and remember with somber respect all the real-life pilots who faced the same view out the window and knew that this was it.

adambar Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 I think you need to read the manual a bit more Martyn. Just how many sim lives have you used up so far, or can't you count that high. Pretty nice set after your recovery though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
