andy1252 Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 Still playing with the different recorders. Did a circuit from Stapleford, but on the playback the wheels didn't come down so can't grab any shots of that or use it to make a video. Nevermind, got some pix. So, out from Stapleford in the new Spitfire Headed west over Enfield (another old home patch for me) turn towards the smoke gonna head back down the river first Southend Pier Coming back in to Stapleford I did actually land reasonably ok, but like I say, the replay didn't capture the wheels coming down so it looks a bit weird.

TigerTigerM Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 Great set. I was wondering if the Spitfire would get out of Stapleford so I looked up the take off run & the reference said 480 yards to clear 50'. Pretty short! So Stapleford is a Buy TTM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andy1252 Posted March 10, 2021 Author Share Posted March 10, 2021 Thanks everybody, I can definitely recommend this plane. And it you turn the photogrammetry off, the UK is looking pretty good in MSFS generally (although the shoreline now suffers from 'popping' on approach since the update). For me the benefits still far outweigh the issues. And hey, @Jack Sawyer, you're back! Hope things calmed down for you in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Andy, yes, it’s nice here but the right knee after meniscus surgery four years ago now needs to be replaced. The pain in unspeakably bad, using a walker now. Knee replacement soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In and out in a couple of days, a few weeks of physio and better than it had been for years. Probably about the only joint I have now that doesn't ache!

Wouldn't have thought so, judging by the size of my scar. I'm no surgeon so don't take my comments as gospel, but I think it's quite a mechanical operation, so I'd be pretty impressed if it were possible. But I seriously wouldn't be apprehensive about it - it's a really basic op these days and like I say, it's not far off day surgery - a couple of nights just to make sure you can walk, climb stairs, kossack dance (ok, I made that last bit up) and you're back home. Bit of awkwardness trying to get comfortable sleeping for maybe a week or so but do the exercises and it all comes back good in no time. You'll be back out tromping round the woods (or wherever you moved) in no time and you won't feel at all awkward with it. My knee had been bad for over a decade before I finally convinced them it needed doing, and I remember maybe three months after it was done I was walking round the garden and suddenly thought 'hey! I'm walking normally!' and realised it had been years since I'd been that comfortable just walking. Shame that the other knee is going now, along with a hip! But hey, you can't have enrything <grin> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
