VOR radial with DME distance for this "runway", please.

SteveHowe, that was a very "roundabout" answer. :Just Kidding:

Give us the location and we'll organize a fly-in

I loved FU2, too. I still have it (and FU3 and FU1) and it still holds up well even these days. Wish I still had a 4 meg Diamond Monster Voodoo to throw in one of my older computers! FU2 looked awesome with that card.The one thing FU2 had that Flight doesn't (yet) have is halfway decent ATC.Still, I must give Flight the edge for the sheer step up in realism (sans the visual aids, etc.).

Or do a loop and listen to them losing their plate lunch!

Mahalo, Ozzie.

When flying "jobs", I no da kine like it when the wahine passenger tell me, "Hey, brah, you stay five mile from the airport, time to prepare your approach!"Hey, I one pilot. I know what the heck to do! Don't need no kamaaina tell me what to do! Geez. I have over 15,000 hours in 50 different aircraft types. :Nerd:

Great thread. My favorite so far in the "Flight" forum.

H-3 comes out on the Kaneohe side, near the world-famous Haiku Stairs, which are not there in the game...

Just employ side slips or the mush (near stall) approach (described in Stick & Rudder). Works well.

Yes, reincarnation. Your second chance.

Spam cans can be......boring :)

An F-86D landed right in front of my Culver Cadet at the Arlington EAA Flyin in 1987. I was first in line to take the runway for takeoff.

Hmm, we must be talking pakalolo delivery or somethin'... :Just Kidding:

I have the same enthusiasm for Flight that I had decades ago when "F/A-18 Interceptor" for the Amiga came out. That's the one with the missions you fly near San Francisco. At the time it was the best thing I'd seen in a flight sim. A few years later "Flight Unlimited" was "it". So I'm another one of those long-time sim pilots that gives a thumbs up to Flight. It's great, but I know it can be better, and I know it will be. I'm along for the ride.

I emailed them.

Ah yes, Fort DeRussy. They had a couple of pontoon rafts you could swim out to...a favorite beach for us military brats.

Newbie, I loved Makapuu and Sandy when I lived there. Got pretty good at body surfing. One time I started getting pulled out away from Makapuu but managed to figure out a way to finally get back in. Talk about exhausted and scared. :)During the 70's it was great fun to watch the hang gliders flying around above Makapuu. They'd fly around and then glide down to land near the restroom pavilion.

Instead of a carrot they should have used a pineapple. jk

Super Cub with those big tundra tires. :Kiss:

And, The Waikiki Shell and Zoo are not there. The beach next to Dillingham is Mokuleia. A very popular spot in the 70's and 80's for beach parties with bands that would bring generators and big tents, set them up and party virtually all night. Some memorable times...

Ala Moana Shopping Center not there. One of the highest $/SF centers in the entire world. Kam drive in (famous for its swap meets), Haiku stairs and microwave dish (just above where the H-3 freeway emerges on the Kaneohe side of the Koolaus), Sea Life Park (near Makapuu), all would be nice but don't appear to be there. No biggie for me, though. Love the sim (oops, I mean "game").Makapuu and Sandy Beaches look accurate to my eyes. Sand Island looks good. Even Salt Lake, which used to be an actual big lake until the mid 70's, when they decided to turn it into a big golf course. Loved it when it was an actual lake. Now it's just another golf course.

I've only noticed a little lag--exhibited by other planes in multiplayer. Not too much of a cause for concern, but it's there.
