I have just noticed something after purchasing the PMDG 777-200LR. I noticed that it has an option for up to three auxiliary fuel tanks, but the 777F has this disabled. Is that correct? EDIT: I think I have answered my own question. It seems that they both have exactly the same standard fuel capacity, but the LR has the option for three additional tanks for ultra long range flights.

Looking forward to EKVG Vagar v2. That should be a significant upgrade when compared to v1.

The eclipse is total over the western edge of Iceland, northern Spain, and the island of Mallorca.

BIG REMINDER to purchase a ticket for the upcoming UK Flightsim Show at Aerospace Bristol in October. We need as much support as possible for this event, so that we can guarantee further shows every year from now on. You really will not regret it. Talking to other flight simmers face to face is an opportunity not to be missed, and you get to see lots of flight simulation software and hardware at the same time. Meet the developers, learn about upcoming products, and buy flight simulation stuff at discounted prices! Buying a ticket for this event enables you to visit on both days of the event (October 10 and 11), and you are also covered for visits to the Aerospace Bristol flight museum for a full twelve months! https://fsimuk.bfsg.club/attendee-registration/

I did not know about the IronSim version, and to be fair it looks reasonably good.

The weather was reasonable over the ten days. However, I visited the dentist to have two fillings done the day before I travelled to Aberdeen. Unfortunately, a piece of the same tooth broke whilst having dinner the following night! I ended up having to get yet another filling at a local dentist in Scotland (and I am grateful to them for swiftly dealing with the issue), but it cost me another £260!!

I could not resist the 200LR at $35 🙃

I was thinking southern Spain/Gibraltar. I do not need to see the maximum 6m22s of totality. It will still be over 4 minutes from Gibraltar.

I am looking forward to the large partial solar eclipse on Wednesday. I have also mentioned next year's eclipse to family and friends, hinting that we should all go to see totality together 😎

I have an issue with the BBJ1 on final approach. it is always giving me an AIRSPEED WARNING message when I set FLAPS 25. Very annoying. Someone else also mentioned this on the PMDG forum, and (hopefully) they are checking it. It also does not automatically accept the ZFW value calculated by the FMS. EDIT: As for the PMDG sale, it will still be active when I get home from holiday later today. That 200LR is very tempting.....

I like my airports to be the very best quality, and very few freeware versions match my requirements. I am just fussy 😉

Those coloured squares usually disappear on my PC after a short time, and they are generally not visible from the cockpit of my PMDG 737. I have a similar issue at Pilot Plus EGMC Southend.

The 300ER only has one engine option.

My monitor is only 24 inches wide, and it is very obvious to me. That is in normal viewing mode. No excessive zooms.

I may have considered the 777-200LR if I had been home to confirm that the latest update has rectified the "rapid pitching up and down" issue.
