| JW, I'm a little bit under the weather tonight having a few too many
giraffes of medium white and dancing the night away but must mention to all
that I've had an enjoyable week on flightsim for a change and this evolved
choosing the 727 (Probst panel) and landing at night a circuit of
provincial VOR airports with a runway length of around only 1350 meters
surrounded by mountains and hills. It was a bit scary with utter darkness up
front and knowing a 8000 ft mountain was somewhere around ignoring GPS and
coms. But to my pleasure with only the welcome green light of the airfields
and flickering runway glideslope to distract me, my best ever landings were
too follow. At times I flew at 6500 over the airfield for safety until
needles revolved and then set up final approaches but it was all plain
sailing.
My onl;y gripe is that I am unable to see city or town lights over the
panel. One has to hit "S" or "W" to visually appreciate the landing at
night time as the scenery is 'made' in the middle distance ie underneath the
panel view
Is this a correct assumption or have I the wrong settings??

| Hi Butts,
I can't answer your question, mate, as I never fly that a/c. Somebody
will, though, as we all know you're a really genuine bloke (well, for a Kiwi
anyway).
Great to see you're able to finally find a little precious time again
for the Sim', and that you're relaxing at last after the adjustment curve of
re-focussing your expertise.
Hey, mate, your best ever landings Congrats.
Just goes to show - even a Kiwi can learn how to improve!! :-))
I've been meaning to make a post re the Edinburgh Military Tattoo, shown
here as a highlight package from Sydney last Sunday night.
Don't know if it was broadcast around the rest of the world yet, but it
was only the second time it's been done from anywhere except Edinburgh
Castle.
The first time was in 2000, from New Zealand - you bastards, how on
earth did you guys swing that?? :-)
I've gotta come clean and admit that you Kiwis absolutely stole the
show!!!! It's something I'll never forget.
In my ignorance, I think of the Tattoo as a very high-pressure test of
the performers, with lots of serious historical, military, national, musical
and emotional ramifications for the participants, countries, and spectators
involved.
So there we all were, and the Kiwis come on.
Aside from their rendition of the Hakka, which was memorable, one of
their numbers all of a sudden had all these burly Kiwi band members prancing
around doing the steps that are done with a Conga line, at the drop of a
hat, at squillions of celebrations around the world, for many different
sorts of occassions!!
Fair dinkum, funniest, most uplifting, thing I've seen in years!!!
If I ever see a replay, I'm going to tape it and hang onto it. I've
never seen a better, more tasteful, emphasis on humour and levity being able
to overcome absolutely anything, and being of absolutely paramount
importance.
Hats off to you guys!
Not long after, it was back to business as usual, and we flogged you in
the cricket, again, of course! :-))
Regards,
John Ward.

Mr. Butts....Maybe you know or maybe you don't, but the driver never gets to
see the scenery.....so when the family says 'let's go out for a ride and see
the sights', you know that as the driver, you'll be workin' and they'll be
enjoying the scenery. My point is, when you're piloting a 727 using nothing

| Sorry here Arthur but the Kiwi may well be a dumply flightless bird but it
is certainly not extinct. It is, however, in short supply and protected but
not extinct.

| Oh my goodness......sorry for that, my friend. I thought they were extinct.
I should renew my subscription to National Geographic and pick up on my
ornithology again. Kiwis are alive and well and live in New Zealand, and
lay eggs bigger than chicken eggs. A kiwi is also a little, green fruit.
As such, do you think Don should fly, him being a Kiwi?? : )
Best regards to you, Al. It's a pleasure to meet a Kiwi Lad who is now
sharing the same birds as I do.

should be flying. Actually, they're more brown and fuzzy on the outside but
green and juicy on the inside. Still makes it questionable as to whether it
should be behind a yoke.

Much larger than chicken eggs, disproportionately large when compared to
their body size, which is why they're called Kiwi's - that's what they
scream when they lay it! d:-> ))

| Hi Quilly
Wasn't too long ago when most of out trade unions were run by Poms as they
were the most succerssful of all whingers.. but since compulsory unionism
was axed they seem to have disappeared somewhere.. we now turn our shipping
around 2 to 3 times faster that our Aussie cousies as they still have strong
unions. So where are these whingeing poms now??? I'm left to throwing
banana peels at the TV screen when Coronation St comes on :-)) Now thats
two to three hours a week of whingeing on its own

New Zealand is one of the best places to experience flight simming. However
the 150 mesh by Christian Stock and Ian Thatchers landclass is a must as M/$
havnt a clue about the country. Most of the circuit I mentioned has been
enhanced by add ons. Go into Flightsim com and search New Zealand. Theres a
ton of stuff there.
My circuit was from home (Tauranga) world centre for Kiwi Fruit and I fly
east over the high ranges to descent into coastal Gisborne. I then fly
south to Napier. Then over the ranges again on careful descent into
Pamerston North. From there west to New Plymouth sliding around the edge
of Mount Taranaki (8500 ft) and in darkness crossing the airfield before
setting up finals. Then East again to Lake Taupo being extra careful of
three other Mountains (Ruapehu at 1300 ft) land at Taupo then norwest to
Hamilton.. flat area.. no drama then east over the Kaimai Ranges back home.
However I go back to my topic when a 727 is in descent over a city I am
quite sure the pilots can see lights, roads, vehicles etc in front ....but I
can't.
Butts

| John Ward 2005-02-24, 7:01 am |
| Hi Butts,
Errr, what happens when you hit Shift and Enter, at the same time?
Does that increase the pilot's "height", giving you a better view out
the front?
Whatever setting you have in your panel.cfg, if any, for that plane
should work equally well in descent as it appears to work for you in the
other phases of your flight.

Don.. the topic strayed a bit. The 727 does indeed have that classic
nose-up pitch when trodding along on a base leg. Once lived very close
to the 14R OM at O'Hare (KORD) and observed this for years. In tests
the 722 FD pitch can be seen graphically at about 130,000 lbs GW.
http://mywebpages.comcast.net/fligh...ch_terminal.gif
As for the visibility.. you'd probably have to ask a man that piloted
the aircraft. The panel.cfg here has a 3-deg build in lookdown angle..
and the Shift-Enter works well to add another ~3 degrees down tilt.
To reset forward view simply hit Spacebar or Num Pad [8].
Spacebar will reset all view (I think) including VC.

| Thanks Greg... my gripe is for all aircraft of commercial size. If I hit
shift/ enter as JW suggests also then I'm out of wack with reality
visually.and probably end up with a CRASH reputation too. Quite ok on ILS
though. But if you hit W and watch the city unfurling it all happens under
the panel view.

Hi Don
I'm sure we're still whinging with the best (ourselves, I guess). I
moan if I lose my remote control and am unable to change channel
within 2.374 seconds of Corry Street's theme tune starting.
OTOH, your hemisphere has something to answer for. When I came out of
hospital some years ago, following my head injury, I was unable to
read or speak. My daily "entertainment" was watching Neighbours ...
twice daily on occasions.
We used to have shipyards too, you know. I think Maggie and those
whinging trade unions combined to shut 'em. Perhaps the unions, by
then unemployed, wanted to "work" elsewhere. And I'd guess that the
Auzzie weather is slightly nicer than the UK's.
Neighbours, everybody needs good neighbours ...

"And I'd guess that the Auzzie weather is slightly nicer than the UK's"
Which particular single day of the year are you referring to when you
claim to have weather nearly as good as ours?
Of course, you make a good point regarding the Kiwis weather! :-)

John Ward.
