Awesome!
I did an improv too.... I found that hitting reverse thrust while you are
on final "works a treat". Ruined 2 set of landing gear before I got it
right. :-)

Yeah, that would have been a perfect slide show.

Yeah? Well it would have been a lot easier if the French would get off
their arses and chop those trees down! :-P

How did we get from a 5cent cigar to a bottle of Herrdura?
I may have been born at night, but it wasn't last night! :-P

You can land the Lear on a carrier if you literally drop in on the fantail
(but DO NOT bounce) with the reversers on, brakes locked, BEFORE touch down,
and use the entire flight deck, forget that wimpy angle runway........

Cuban ?????? I'll fire up the HH-60.
A side note. Dalli, did you get all the thunder and lightning that came
through last night? It was so bad Psycho dog made it into the clothes
hamper and Balto was so scared he allowed Chica AND Costa (Costa looks
like your Collie) into the bed. And Chica doesn't even like the bed,
but at 4:00 am she was pressed up against Gabriella.
It sounds like more coming.

Too late boBado - I knew you'd try something like that, and already claimed
the prize! The problem is collecting, since I don't smoke (or inhale when I
do  and Dalliance isn't receptive to handing out prizes of equal value.
Like you, I thought he was offering a box of Cuban's, so I picked what I
thought was a respectable alternative, but "HA" Dalliance declares, "No way
Jose"....... See how he is??
But a pretty nice bloke otherwise....... d:-> ))

Yep.... I keep waiting for Melissa to post her images as she lands her
bush plane on the first 1/3 of the runway.

Dalli has agreed to provide i each, swisher sweet, to whoever can tell
where this is. I don't think I have any scenery in this area but my
sliders are mostly to the right for the eye candy, so I think this is
default.

Every time you do this with your chopper, screenshots, and captions,
it's a real adventure!!
That chopper develops a personality.
Fan bloody tastic, mate! :-)

I did manage to land the J-3 Cub very easily at the airfield, but
unfortunately, something went wrong with the screen shot program I
was using, and the only two decent shots I got of the landing were
one on approach, and one with the plane already landed and stopped (I
did use less than half the runway though!). :-)
Tomorrow, I'll do it again, and this time, I'll use my other screen
shot program, which is much more reliable for quick sequence shots. I
may also try to land the Super Decathlon there, which could be a
little trickier (and therefore more fun!). I think it might be
pretty easy to land the C152 there as well. Any plane that can land
at a pretty slow speed (60 knots or less) should be okay. I think
I'd have some serious problems trying to land the SF.260 there, but I
may have to try that as well. I will not, however, try to land the
Embraer 170 there! :-)

<Snippety snip>
"I did manage to land the J-3 Cub very easily at the airfield..."
Yeah right, sure, OK, got it...
Personally, I think you did another lawn dart effort which surpasses
your previous infamous effort, but you're too embarassed to post it!!
Correctamundo??? :-))

Pity about the way FS9 can't handle sloping airfields and flattens
everything out. It looks totally different to the RW Courcheval airstrip as
in your earlier photos. Shame that so many interesting strips wind up with
unrealistic cliff faces behind them (try Lukla in Nepal - VNLK), or on top
of plateaus. I think that's MY primary wish for the next version - non-flat
airfields!

I like a bloke who has his priorities right. Non -flat airfields eh? Why
didn't I think of them?
What on earth could come second to that?

I didn't think any of them were flat; I must investigate why I keep bouncing
up again!

Not at my most perceptive today, as I've just come off night shift...but JIC
you're poking fun at me, I'll clarify my comment!
I was getting at the fact that FS doesn't seem to cope with elevation
changes across airfields but flattens everything, so runways are dead level
and the underlying mesh gets distorted such that the terrain looks
unrealistic.
If you WERE agreeing with me, and weren't having a dig at all, then I'll
just go and crawl back under my duvet until I feel more human....... :-)
