Kyle, I don't have more information at this time because once again you say "YES" to the AFE guarding the carb-heat and not allowing this to happen. Yet, further down your post, you say "It depends on a number of things". Well, which is it. YES or NO? If as you say, it depends on other things, then what are those things? If you would provide more information perhaps I would have a better understanding of what the AFE is doing in regards to carb-heat. Thank you, Jerry Allen

Is it then correct to assume the AFE is handling the carb heat controls so as to avoid carb ice? I just flew through known icing conditions with the AFE active, and my engines did indeed ice-up and the carb-ice warning was displayed. Two engines failed due to carb ice (I wanted to see if the AFE would allow this to happen). He did. I could NOT adjust the carb heat controls as long as the AFE was active. Do I misunderstand the AFE duties here? With what you've said in this thread I thought this couldn't happen. Thanks, Jerry Allen

I have the same problem with flashing gauges in the center panel area with lights "on" (HDR selected). I have Nvidia driver 361.91 and it made no difference. I changed shadows settings, and no difference. What worked for me was deselecting draw per pixel lighting. jetjerry ...........Jerry Allen

The 250 below 10,000' is a regulation. The SID restrictions are ATC procedural. ATC has the authority to cancel or modify procedural restrictions, but not regulatory restrictions. jetjerry

Thank you for posting this. I have a Saitek yoke that sits in the closet because I find it unusable with it's binding. I've been trying to figure out how to make a floor mounted column yoke out of the Saitek, which I still may try, but your idea is rather simple, innovative and inexpensive. If I run into trouble with the column, then I'll give your idea a try. Thank you, jetjerry

You are flying the 737 grossly overweight. For a 20 minute flight load 10,000-20,000 pounds of fuel total (200-300 us gallons). Use a load of less than full. Fly it at an altitude of 14,000-15,000 feet. Intercept the ILS 5nm outside the OM at 2000' above the airport elevation. Have fun. jetjerry

Beautiful shots. Thanks for posting. I made this trip for real back in 1968 in a DHC-3 Otter. I still remember how beautiful the area is. We turned the corner at Monaco and landed at Pisa. The good old days. jetjerry

To LAdamson, The Skyraider was a great airplane, but was not the most powerful single engine piston machine. Look up the Martin Mauler sometime. It had 3000HP. The Skyraider replaced it. jetjerry

Beautiful! A real airplane.

Nice shot, great airplane!

Will there be a single cue FD option? That's what the ones I flew had.

Day one purchase for me. One of the best prop-liners of all time!

I use a second monitor. XP on primary and map program on the other. Plan-G is excellent. It even gives flight following for XP.

Beautiful work! I love the KISS concept. I started JT8D engines for real for many years, and I'd rather not use my FS time to start one now, except perhaps the first time. Thanks! Really looking forward to this!

Thanks for postiing. The Stinson family has a great aviation legacy. I used to own a Stinson. Rebuilt it myself. A great airplane. Jerry Allen (jetjerry)

Beautiful shots. Xplane does it justice. Been there many times in my old RW Stinson, and it's a great place to fly around. Thanks for sharing.

NO

Beautiful pics!

DISNY is your Initial & FInal app fix. You hit the VOR then go outbound on the 177 Radial and descend to 1800' until passing the 12DME fix then turn right to 222 Hdg and fly for about 45 seconds then turn left to hdg 042 and intercept the 357 (177 radial) back inbound. When established on the 357 descend to 1500'. After passing DISNY inbound descend to 600'.

NO!

Interesting post Brian. I too worked as a "gas boy" at KBFI way back when, after school. I got flight instruction hours rather than real money. I would have spent it on flying anyway, so it worked out well for me. I started when I was 14, and by the time I left and went to Army flight school, I had accumulated 120+ hours and a private license. I was flying airplanes before I was driving a car. The good old days...with a "whistle stop radio". Thanks for posting Brian. You brought back nice memories. Jerry

3 times altitude. If at FL350 = start down at 105nm from a sea level airport for a straight-in landing. 5 times ground speed. If GS is 400 kts, then descent rate should be 2000fpm. These values will change on the way down, so recalculate every 3-5 thousand feet during descent. jetjerry

Great work, once again! Thanks for everything you do for the community. jetjerry
