    Hi Paul

    It went superb, infact it was an absolute peach lol, better than my others btu I guess that was blind luck, Ive landed at dusk before but never as dark as that, luckily everything was easy to see as the airport and Bristol City was lit up, it wasnt completely dark but near as damn it and as I said above I havent got a night rating so I was becoming concerned with the light fading so fast and obviously it being darker at ground level than up in the air but waiting for the emergency flight to land and be cleared away was safer than diverting, if he’d pancaked on the runway and I HAD to divert then things could have gotten interesting, luckily it was a beautiful day and Cardiff isnt that far away (Filton may have been closed)

    infact Steve

    If you repost it in another topic I’ll make it a sticky thread, I know the info is only relevant until the CAA update or change the rulings etc but we can cross that bridge as and when this happens

    No pop intended or taken
    I interpret the original question as being how the aircraft behaves so Im merely talking about the way the default aircraft handles in flight Characteristics, the FS engine may indeed be great but I am not happy about the way the default aircraft behave, I will give the FMWB a go and see how it differs 🙂

    I did read your original post and I totally disagree, the FS flight model is not accurate
    Take a trial flying lesson, get the instructor to demonstrate a stall, then get in the default Cessna in FS and try the same thing then get back to me

    Guys

    Being a real world pilot (albiet a private one until I get my fATPL) I can assure you the FS2004 flight model is absolute pants (thats a technical term) and the same goes for IL2-Sturmovik (although slightly better than FS2004) the best FS sim for best physics is what Paul Rix said without question and thats X-Plane, and again like Paul said FS2004 is really useful for instrument training & the gfx are nice but thats about it

    thats great fun to do on FS Moggy, Ive tried doing it with a planned route of mine and with real wind set and it worked a treat

    Alternatively T5 you can use the GPS to create the flightplan, Im off to London now so will explain when I get back tomorrow

    terrific shots Andrew, great to have a different perspective, I love looking at the planes in the overhead where I live with binoculars, I can see most of the LHR traffic going to the americas from my house, would love to have the equipment to photograph them as you have but Im not sure the wife would be very forgiving if I spent a small fortune on a lense capable 🙂
