  • My wife took our kids there when they were younger to see me take off in the 74 one day. They were using 23 so didn’t taxi past the viewing park but I told the kids I’d do a wing wave for them.

  • From reading it sounds like they really are committed to the quality level on this one so fingers crossed.   Many fond real world memories of flying into EGCC to see the family in Leeds over th

That looks pretty good 👍 For the record, I am about to order a new PC.....and I may just decide to switch to MSFS 2024 at the same time. Not sure yet, because my beloved PMDG 737-600/900 is not yet available for it. However, I do not really want to install MSFS 2020 on the new PC, and then swap to MSFS 2024 a short time later.

Speaking of Manchester Airport, I've not seen anything from once-frequent contributor Chock recently. He worked there as a ground handler.

In their screenshots Ray you can see it through the windows of an enclosure it is in. 

On another check I’ve spotted it. They could have at least mentioned it in the blurb.

If its 2024 native I'll pick this up.  Looks like the glass materials could do with a little tweaking though?

Also my worst security experience in all of my years and hundreds of thousands of miles flown but that's another matter altogether

Yes mine too, surely not a coincidence.

I flew out of EGCC on Tuesday and landed back there this morning, both as a passenger for a change.

I’m happy to report the new security and immigration in the new terminal 2 are a vast improvement and certainly better than LHR now.

Just for info. There must be work on 05L / 23R yesterday as the Emirates A380 had to taxi down 23L and do a 180 at the end for a 05R takeoff. Very rare occurrence.

Other aircraft could use the reduced 05L runway. But not the Emirates.

I think there is an issue with a section of taxiway Alpha short of the runway 05L threshold. I assume that the A380 is unable to backtrack and turn at that end, so they had to use 05R.

I cannot see any images in that link that show Concorde?? 

 

I knew you’d be on top of this one 🙂

Ray, Might not be too late to send picture of Concorde to devs to get it placed, I’m sure they could use an existing model from another airport.

Sorry Ray - it's Rob Ainscough who was the P3D configuration guru back in the day.

He didn't even tell me about this ...because we agreed never talking about flight sim again. And we didn't....that's why I did not know this. 

He is a great guy!

No worries Rob. It was there. I just had the wrong glasses on. 🤣

Good job that they don't need physicals for PC flying!
