Real World UTC for Next Waypoint in the Progress Tab
Gason71 replied to cadetski's topic in Little Navmap | Little Navconnect | Little Logbook Support ForumOK. So I haven't found any problems in your situation 🙂 The waypoints during "crossing the pond" are always reported after passing them. When you are passing given waypoint the LNM change the leg to the next waypoint - so you can report time of passing given waypoint taking time from your personal watch and ETA to the next waypoint taking ETA time from LNM window. Simple and ease to use method. Regards, Piotr

Real World UTC for Next Waypoint in the Progress Tab
Gason71 replied to cadetski's topic in Little Navmap | Little Navconnect | Little Logbook Support ForumI've always thought that in online flying on networks like IVAO, VATSIM ("as real as it gets") is used the Real World UTC time ... 😛 Regards, Piotr

F14D, Mach round the Mach Loop
It's very nice and this flight makes respect, but I'm afraid that overflying Mach Loop in the C17A is much easier than in B744, as its landing distance is 2 times shorter than B744 -> what implies its stall speed has to be much lower than B744 and in general speed ranges are wider. In general C17A dispite its great weight and dimensions is very agile craft 🙂 I'm still hoping somebody creates good free model of C17A for X-Plane (on xplane.org is one model but it seems it's the old one upgraded from XP9 to XP11) Regards, Piotr

F14D, Mach round the Mach Loop
As I've recently "played" military aviation (because of new IVAO SO World Tour), I've just finished two funny VA projects: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I4Ge95rJ8HI&list=PLlL5wMXt5YPU7urKGThDrBPlahm7TVCrh Movies: #00-#06 - Mach Loop project #10-#13 - White Sands project Video #06 from Mach Loop project is with the special dedication to @mSparks 🙂 ps. still thinking about your B744 model and Mach Loop ... 😉 😉 😉

F14D, Mach round the Mach Loop
Exactly entrance is where road A470 join A487 but I exited before, right of the Y Foel hill (or close). There are 3 official entrances: where road A470 join A487, at Machynlleth (junction A487/A489) and at Glantwymyn (junction A489/A470). There are 3 official exits from ML: at Corris Corner (junction A487/B4405), to Lake Vrynwy (north of junction A458/A470, at Dinas Mawddwy) and to Bala (right of Y Foel hill, turn right to the A494) And I exited this last one, but instead turning right to A494 road I turned left after Y Foel hill and return improperly through Afon Mawddach bay. I flew 2 years ago in the previous tour through Corris Corner exit and I was slightly bored. Of course, I'm also a lazy boy and through the bay is closer to airfield ... 😛 But it's true, northern entrance and Corris Corner exit are the most known entrance/exit from Mach Loop 🙂 Regards, Piotr

F14D, Mach round the Mach Loop
My answer is (uncutted, raw movie from cockpit, default XP11 scenery): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_mGvH3Fcg4 Supersonic combat military training at RAPHAELE-C fighter (slower than F14). Due specification of the task (it's leg of the Special Operations World Tour on IVAO) it should be performed below 1000AGL but I've decided to perform flight much lower and at supersonic speed (average 1.0 Mach or greater) as it's a greater challenge 🙂 Mach Loop - achieved top speed 1.1287M, lowest alt ~100ft at supersonic speed, average speed above 1.0M over the whole loop. And before enter to ML, over the bay I've descent at supersonic speed to ~10ft over water, just a moment after supersonic barrel roll. Regards, Piotr ps. and yes, it's true - adrenaline is really very high, only a moment unfocused and a plane hits at welsh hills ... 😛 ps2. best to view in 1050 and full screen mode

New Maps for LNM (update #4)
Probably because it's .7z file and it was compressed in 7Z format (not zip/unzip), so you have to use 7-ZIP uncompress program 🙂 It's freeware software available to download here: https://www.7-zip.org/ Regards, Piotr
