July 11, 20169 yr Great shots. Lovely airport/Island to fly into...strike up a friendship and the peoples there will give you the shirts on their backs... Yes; that midday/afternoon inbound traffic can have you "holding short of rwy 07" for sometime. while holding short I have used the time to wave to the photographers they love that stuff or watch the sailboats and jet-skies going by.

July 24, 20169 yr Author Vololibersta, I am using freeware model found on this website: http://www.dmflightsim.co.uk/ Twiggys, awesome that you are real life pilot!!! The main reason the airport is always busy at noon is that all airlines usually depart 8 am in America for flights to Jamaica arriving there about noon and then depart about 1 or 2 for return flights to America. Regards, Aharon
July 24, 20169 yr Vololibersta, I am using freeware model found on this website: http://www.dmflightsim.co.uk/ Regards, Aharon I was wondering! By the end of August look out for a major panel update on Avsim for DM's Super VC10. Hundreds of changes have been made. Far too many to list here. The engines have been completely re-written with new interior sounds and correct thrust across the spectrum. Underwing refuelling, authentic load sheet, code share briefings for 80 ICAO regions, a new wide-screen panel etc etc. The update contains about 700 gauges in comparison to DM's original 140! The Technical and Operational Procedures Manual is in its final stages and will probably be ready soon after I return to Italy in early August. In the mean time here are some teasers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHhYduG53Ps https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=crpKtgPIptQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i3flqD_Ne6g https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X7K102jts0s Super VC10 into LOWI with PF3 at a cinema near you https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=298UDyNmgUA
July 25, 20169 yr Author Vololibersita, Awesome and thanks for cool links as well as fantastic explanations! I did not know you developed and programmed that freeware VC-10 software. One question: when you are remodernizing the freeware VC-10 addon, are you going to improve the passenger windows too? Regards, Aharon

That kind of modelling is not my forte unfortunately. When the entire project is finished. Possibly early next year I might persuade one of my contacts to start on a model for P3D. As it has to be a totally new model. That however will require hundreds of photographs and measurements which is a small problem as neither of us live in the UK!

July 25, 20169 yr @Vololibersita This is awesome. You do realise you are elevating this product to rank quite high up the scale in terns of that VC panel. This, for me is as much anticipated as that QoTS. :im Not Worthy: :im Not Worthy: Rick Almeida

Probably I'll finish it soon after returning from the UK in early August, as I'll have to run through everything and make final corrections. It'll almost certainly be two downloads if not three. As the folder just containing the gauges is more than 500mb! Super VC10 into LOWI with PF3 at a cinema near you https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=298UDyNmgUA
