That plane is one of my favorites. You won't regret it.

Combine the J41, AS2012 and grand tour of New Zealand with FTX NZSI & NZNI (and possibly with G-plan) and you will have an adventure that will challange and exhaust you. The charts are in the public domain here: http://www.aip.net.nz/ and you can buy maps and enroute stuff here: http://secureorders.airways.co.nz/index.asp

I went on a UK tour recently, hopping around all the minor airports, typical leg length of about 180-210 nm, it's well suited to that kind of work. I suspect New Zealand is likely to be prettier though!

 

Not every country considers 16,000 as in the "flight levels". It depends on transition altitude.

I know this is off on a tangent but I think the main point of this thread has been answered quite throughly, so....

Perhaps you'd be so kind as to tell the sim pilots, as a controller I get fed up of telling people to climb FL100 or descend FL70 and have them (mainly American pilots, if I'm honest) reading it back as an altitude! Reading back is not hard, a parrot can do it, a 4 year old can do it, but apparently not a flight sim pilot! </rant>

Well, honestly, just like in the real world if you are going to use ATC services you yourself need to take the responsibility to learn the proper phraseology for the area in which you plan to fly. Not my problem or your problem if they can't get it right. This thread really isn't the place for this discussion, I expect your rant might do more good in the General Forum or in an online flying forum...

 

Back to the OP, let us know how you like it!

Nice shots! They are definitely allowed, but there is a size limit for the pictures, but yours I think are small enough! Have fun, and try not to toast the engines too many times...... :lol:

You need to arm the spoilers before takeoff and landing using the toggle on the glareshield :smile:

IIRC they are allowed if they illustrate what the support request is about. Anything else should really go in the screenshots forum.

Na I think we can make an exception here ^_^ . Great shots!

Is an executive interior available for the J-41? I mean the PMDG one.

The real one you see below B)

 

Well, isn't she cute? I know, it is 'only' a J-31, but in the BA livery... I took the picture at EDDL from they fly to EKBI.

 

That's a neat pic!
