It was a weekend, they work Mon-Fri; turnover is generally pretty quick. I suggest you use their Discord for more info.

Fame hasn't stretched as far as North Norfolk, England. Although nothing much stretches this far anyway...

What I like is that you can adjust the default views, save them, and CP will remember. And so easy to add your own.

Working again in UK

It goes in your Community folder, then Main Screen/Profile/Copilot and choose your furry friend. Load a flight and in the top toolbar there's a paw print icon. There you can position as needed.

Just bought it, thank you. Did a couple of circuits, a little misty. I'll try the Peaks tomorrow. The Moth with Beam Eye Tracker is about as good as it gets I think.

I've only flown three airliner flights since last December as I simply lost the motivation, after 25 years of simming. I sold most of my Airbus hardware, apart from the mcdu, flew nothing for a couple of months then re-discovered Ant's Tiger Moth. I now happily potter around the UK in that, with the occasional A2A Comanche. I've never really got on with glass cockpits and much prefer the clockwork variety. Sometimes I even revert to paper charts, chinagraph pencil and a ruler for flight planning, just as I did when I first started. I think one reason for this is age related (79 next week) as I no longer have the patience to go through the complicated stuff, and staring at tiny numbers on a screen is a challenge. I'll still buy the Fenix neo when comes out though...

Love it. My two cats, Marvin and Tomos, are long gone but it's a delight to remember them when I fly.

Aamir has linked two of his posts in that pinned Discord explaining what's going on. One is dated 2nd June...

The last update was two weeks ago, a pinned message from Aamir.

79 next month and still fit enough to fight with my pc. Don't always win though.

You'll be better off asking on their discord I think.

Thanks folks.

After 25 years of trying to keep on top of all the hardware improvements, and having now reached happiness, I suddenly find that I am not happy. Not a complaint at all, but I have everything I want, and it's too much. I want to simplify. I've sold off a lot of stuff and I have all the basics, but what I would like advice on is a solid reliable joystick. I fly Fenix and A2A or similar most of the time. I appreciate that there are a lot of sticks around and everyone will have a different opinion, but it's opinions that I would like, please.

Thank you all, I've gone for Greenshot, exactly what I wanted.

I rarely take screenshots because my favoured app seems to be discontinued, although I also forget to press the button. I wonder what the favoured apps are here? Nothing fancy, just press and forget. Thank you Rob J

I used it happily but I'm not an expert. The native version is only around £11 so I just went for it.

Pyreegue is doing LEPA.

I use the numeric keypad (or did until I bought Chaseplane).

Yes, quite true. I was thinking of here in UK I know of airfields in the middle of nowhere where there is nothing atc-wise until you can perhaps contact a Flight Information Service. I was watching a video yesterday of a chap in Cornwall who just pulled his aeroplane out of a large shed and took off. No radio, nothing. Seems perfect.

If you're flying out of a real airfield without a tower or whatever then you either just take-off or contact the nearest atc available.

BMA had DC3s from their early days as Derby Aviation, based at Burnaston, an old RAF field near Derby. They moved to Castle Donington, later renamed East Midlands, and became British Midland Airways in 1965. The first plastic model aeroplane I ever made in the 60s was of a BMA DC3 G-ANTD, which I kept for years until I went overseas with the RAF and my mum binned it :(
