J41 - First Impressions

[3-2-1-Now 126]

VERY NICE!!!Already made a smoking molten heap out of the engine. I was trying to crank it to cool it off but it had other plans...I tried to extinguish the fire but it wouldn't go out.I seem unable to the bring the condition levers back beyond ground idle. I can't drag them nor move them back with Shift+F2.Other than this, I've flown a few circuits, and trying to get used to the slow speed on approach. I was trying to fly it like the MD-11 - fast!! :DI have a bit of weirdness with the displays when viewing at an oblique angle - the lines kind of fade in/out. I know this is not the aircraft, but if anyone has a solution, that would be great.Overall, very impressed and pleased with it.Now to try not to toast the engines...Best regards,Robin.

Robin,The fire bottles do work. We all tested them at one point or another. :(To move the condition levers aft of ground idle, you need to push the big red buttons aft of the levers.

I've blown mine up twice! but alls well now! Thanks for another gold star plane Great job guys! :("I seem unable to the bring the condition levers back beyond ground idle. I can't drag them nor move them back with Shift+F2."Hi Robin, I think you have to press the two red mushroom cap buttons just below the condition levers (rickt clikck) then they will come back
