To be honest it may sound petty, but eBay make their money on millions of small transactions rather than a few large ones.

If your mate hasn’t paid up whos fault is that?

Stunning work Chris, more please 🙂

You do realise im talking about FS not real life, i would have thought it would be blindingly obvious no real comercial airliner does that, the reason i do that and its agreed with the tower before hand is just so that other people behind me dont have to suffer waiting till im far enough away before they can take off, i always turn away from the runway to allow faster jets to over take me its just the way its been.

But you said yourself it was flightsim, so how can you agree something with something that has artificial intelligence? very bizarre.
You do it to allow the faster jets to overtake you? surely the Rj has a wake turbulence catagory like every aeroplane, and whether you have turned early or not makes no odds, it is your rotate wake turbulence that is the issue, so they would have to wait for you anyway

and yes i know the diffrence im not that interlectually challenged.

So much so that you can’t spell intellectually? Come on then wiseguy, what’s the difference between the 2 without googling it?

Also No a passenger carrying aircraft will not land on mud or sand or grass because most runways in europe are not in the 3rd world they have something that well call tarmac and concreat over them

Really? being a pilot myself I didn’t know this, it is true what they say, you learn something every day

However in africa if you notice theres not many airports that can accomadate 747’s on thier grass strips and thier sand strips and sometimes just mud, who goes in with the cargo and passengers? BAe146 and RJ 100’s not to mention the AN124, it is classified as a STOL aircraft hence why its the only jet allowed into london city.

I still want references to RJs landing on mud & sand in particular, not to mention grass, so please provide a URL to show this, I am genuinely interested.

Sorry for not taking your post seriously, but I still don’t see how you pride yourself on being a “BAV_Captain” when you are not even attempting to emulate the real BA which is what your Virtual Airline is all about.

Anyway back on topic, if you have more pics feel free to share them

Acctually that is a typical take off from frankfurt and alot of other airports that BAe146 and RJ100’s flyin in and out of, this is due to the fact they are slower but climb faster.

BAV

That is complete rubbish, that is not a typical take off at all from any commercial jet or turbo prop. You would not turn when you are 50ft, period. Unless specific procedures (SID procedures) specify then normally you would climb straight ahead on runway heading until you are 1,000ft above the airport before even thinking about a turn.

When you say they are slower but climb faster are you talking about the best rate of climb or best angle of climb? do you know the difference?

i take off with a 3/4 load at 95knots, i can land on a runway thats 450 feet long and still stop, i dont need to have a tarmac runway either i can land on grass mud sand you name it.

So yes please do mock because you only mock your planes because mine can out climb yours i climb on take off anything upto 2400 fpm can your 747’s do that from 95 knots?

You can land on grass / mud / sand? I have never seen an RJ do that ever, so you are a world first. Think about it, if I wanted to put down my 747-400 on the beach using flight sim then I could, easily.

Saying your plane can outclimb others at 2400fpm is again nonsense, because you can climb your 396 tonne 747-400 at over 3,000fpm, and at a climb speed of below 200kts if you had to, but again why would you want to make your passengers feel uncomfortable? the 747 climbing with a faster climb speed than your little “bird” would travel further in the climb over the same time span, and it would climb higher (using your figures), so in effect it is your meagre plane that is being left behind. Remember this is commercial aviation, so why is climbing at such a pathetic airspeed as 95kts better than 200kts? being expedicious is the name of the game when you are trying to make money.

I somehow think you are not taking the “British Airways Virtual” thing seriously enough, the aim of a VA is to “emulate” an airline, in your case British Airways, I cannot recall any BA service that uses an RJ to land on grass, mud or sand.

Captain Manning said the sheer cost of flying training was making it too restrictive.

The Australians should try flight training over here, then they’d realise what “expensive” really means
