Tracer's FSX Flight Log #3771

Reading the flight logs I was thinking South Park as well... Telluride is a Podunk mountain town in CO... Was this City Airline?... You be the judge.

The cabin crew call hi-lo chime? LOL! This could turn into a meme. And Russ could use it as his motto. ROFL!

Ever so slightly over Maximum Landing Weight for the Phenom, Tracer, I think? :cheer:

Your Operations Manager and Flight Engineering Department will be keeping a close eye on your specific range figures. How are they comparing? Get how far you go up on a given amount of fuel and there will be a Rolex prize for you, LOL! Well, at least the promise of it...

He he. Just toying around, based on your FOQA reports here, and giving you a bit of simulated commercial pressure (which if you are IOSA certified, should be prohibited). Don't take me seriously, please! I was looking at this and having a laugh, like we need management looking over our shoulder and telling us how to fly. Wait, that's a reality, what am I talking about? LOL!

I'm about to dive in and get those textures. They look pretty awesome on your screenies. Just finishing installing the remaining land meshes first. I am not sure if getting the textures first might cause any issues, if I install the meshes afterwards. Does anyone know, please?

Tracer's FSX Flight Log #3832
I had a really good short flight yesterday on FSX with vPilot, IFR from KDEN to KEGE, with the DC-3, along Victor-8 at 16,000 to RLG, direct VAILE, with approach to RWY 25 inbound along radial 066 of SXW. The DC-3 is not RNAV capable, and for some reason was not picking up the LDA, so we had to "invent" this VOR approach on the fly with the controller, as Eagle Co. strangely, does not seem to have a published VOR approach. Unique stuff! I really enjoy the opportunity to do the different challenges that FSX offers. My second time on vPilot coms, and had the controller himself asking me to stand by a moment while he checked my unusual requests (LOL!). I am convinced our Alpha would benefit getting some additional practice for his ATC stuff if he did a bit of this with us every now and then.

How are you doing with the coms, Tracer? :lol:

had to ask.. didn't ya!?

I had one flight, where I talked to KSEA who was using a robotic voice. He made me change my runway from the one I had initially selected, but I had enough time to react and land with no flubs and using the runway he wanted me to. not sure what I would have done without the FMS ;)

Your flight sounded fun! I need to learn to navigate instead of depending so much on the electronics.

Got all the Orbx FTX Global textures, softened clouds and stuff, plus a neat skin i found for the '319. Thought I'd practice a little done thing; the ILS break out with circle to land procedure at Guayaquil RWY 03. I am pleased with the textures. Took a screenie of the arrival, which already looked OK as it was, but I opened it in paintnet and just did one soften portrait pass on it, nothing else. I was amazed...



Thanks for bringing those textures to our notice here, Tracer!

Did it ever work for you? Mine has a problem with logbook saves causing corruption that results in instant crashes when trying to launch the game. I just rename the logbook.bin file so the game builds another logbook file upon restart. The logbook.bin file should be in the FSX folder in your documents folder. Try that and see if it works.

I took a flight from KTEX to KASE - short hop - I let the FMS route me there, and was going to let it line me up on the runway, but decided to follow the instructions from the AI ATC. They had me flying in circles for 30 mins.. they kept giving me vectors and alt adjustments, but never actually lined me up with the runway..

does the AI ATC work in that regard? will it direct you to a runway? doesn't seem like it..

Did the same thing on vpilot (KFHR->KSEA) - and when the ATC told me to land opposite of what I had planned for - and I started making adjustments.. he logged off.. and I was left hanging.. lol.. managed to land of course but it was interesting as I was not the only one in the area.

from the grand canyon (KGCN) to telluride...(KTEX)

that is a difficult landing at telluride.. it's a cliff on both ends.. and there are trees and other terrain on the end they want you to land at... you gotta clear the junk, and then put it down immediately.

LOL! Those darned hinged planks they stick on wings are more trouble than they're worth when it comes to getting a good score!

PS.

Sorry to hear that man, hope the logbook trick Vampyre mentioned works for you.

Bought a couple new scenery's from Orbx. This one of Sedona Reginal Airport in AZ. I've been there a few times. Weird place. hehe. Anyway.. as I get into the air, my co-pilot tells me that there is something wrong with the landing gear, and that it did not fully retract. I declare an emergency and do a 180 and land (much to my copilots dismay at my approach).
