And here’s my bundle of joy, Auster J1 G-AJPZ (certainly impresses people telling them I have a plane – as long as I don’t show them a photo of it!)

Would also like to say thanks to Martin Pengelley (T6flyer) and subsequently everyone else i’ve met or spoke to about Austers, especially Richard Webber, for giving me the chance to fly in (and fly all except the AOP 6) plenty of Austers

Aw….shucks……how nice. No seriously, its all been fun and the more young people we introduce to our hobbies and interests the better.

Richard is still away in America and it looks like we’ll be having two more 9s soon. That will make 7 in total!!

I’m probably wrong here (I normally am) but wasnt G-AJPZ the Auster used by Christopher Draper in his second attempt in 1953 to fly under the Thames bridges?

Best wishes to all,

Martin

I know that any AI traffic can be a killer on the old frame rates and perhaps its just the same for all of us. I’m running FS2004 on an 2.8gig Sempron, with 1gig ram and a Radeon 7800GTO card. With traffic set at about 25%, I get frame rates of about 25 and slowing down to about 10-16 with a busy airfield.

I dont take out the panels, is it worth doing?

Most of my virtual skies are populated with Mr Ito’s creations and to originate the flightplans I use FSTraffic 2005.

Hope this helps.

Too small for a T-28, I go along with it being a T-34.

In ’98 on a trip to the States, I was lucky enough to fly in both types, but cant remember that much about the 34. I knew I had to climb up the side of the T-28, for its such a big beast. It doesnt help matters when you’re scared of heights!

Suppose my identity gives it away…..anything Harvard…….gave my Dad some lovely Mk.IIB cloches for his garden a few years ago!!

Thanks so much for the HU. Will go and have a look. Be nice to have something on the sim, that I’ve flown in 🙂
