April 12, 200323 yr Just a couple of suggestions - turn off the caps and post this stuff in the Screenshot Forum where it belongs.Trip
April 13, 200323 yr ...How about flying along the passing lane from one end of the Lion's Gate Bridge to the other...?
April 13, 200323 yr WHY?I have to agree with Trip on this one.Regards, Michaelhttp://mysite.verizon.net/res052cd/mybannercva1.jpg Best, Michael KDFW
April 13, 200323 yr Second try at uploading screenshots!Here they are.Wrong Forum? - "huff-puff"vrystaat!
April 13, 200323 yr WHY????I'm also a real-life pilot with twin ratings.In real life, this piece of acrobatics has never been done. It is much discussed by local jocks, but we would all be arrested.Best plane for this would be a MUDRY CAP-10B. However, all I do is poop around BC in a Beech 1900 or a DH Beaver.Now I can do it in FS2002.My brother flew an XFJ-2 Fury in Korea.We are all flying screw balls.My uncle totalled two Bonanzas on approach, and walked away from both.Why??????? Why you say???? Indeed!Because it's there! Just like Mount Everest!Boys: put down your pipes & claret. Try to be young again.Kindest regardsvrystaat!
