John try switching on anti-aliasing within flight sim, but you may want to check that your graphics card settings are set to “application controlled” for the antialiasing.
Also try switching on anistropic filtering to 4x or 8x, if it’s application controlled then see if you can adjust this within flightsim

Trust me when I say that if these birds went into production, and you finished your training, and someone offered you a job flying one you would take it, when you come out of training you will take anything, it doesn’t matter what it is, if you think otherwise you are kidding yourself.
I have an interview next week with a major UK carrier to fly their aircraft, but it doesn’t bother me what aircraft it is because I am not in a position to be choosy, the same will apply to you.

Good luck with it

Took ages to sneak this through custums, quick put it away before the captain sees it

Joe, yes I did mean DC8s, why the hell did I say DC9 in the first place? :rolleyes:

Yes sorry Adam I was generalising because I didn’t have the time to explain, you are indeed correct it is a Privatair 319

Very VERY sad, I was flying in the area today. Without speculating, if the wing did fall off this is my biggest fear, you can accept anything but structural failure, I always check that the wings are “attached” in an A check, my F.I.C partner thinks I am mad, he said aren’t we better off checking the engine because it’s more and likely to fail? yes true but you’re more likely to die if the wings fall off.

No worries Adam

Naa I went for 40° of flaps to see how she reacted, she was fine as I said

You are quite correct in that you need to be careful about using reverse thrust whilst in asymmetric conditions, you would normally not use reversers on the remaining engine because this will give an asymmetric force, also if you have 2 reverse thrusters this reduces your landing distance by a typical value of about 10%, so you can see they are not “that effective” anyway, the most braking actions comes from the brakes themselves (unsurprisingly), along with reverse thrust & then the spoilers.
So in effect Bristol Intl should be plenty long enough to land without reversers, however, if it were a wet or slippery runway then some performance calcs may need to be done.
As far as rudder goes in keeping it straight, well yes it is important, but it would be important with both engines operating, the only difference here is that as you flare you need rudder authority to “keep straight” before touchdown, again the importance of knowing Vmca is paramount, especially in crosswind conditions. But let’s assume still wind conditions, you will have to have a certain amount of rudder input (usually trimmed) to counter the asymmetric force with 1 engine inop, all you would do is use “rudder as required” to straighten her up for landing and to maintain the centreline.
Sorry to rabbit on.

Hope this helps
