This will be fun.

Because it has a large object spinning around on the front of it ...

Thanks That makes sense now.

@Side

Omega fixed the server, now. Thanks for the report



@Kim, @SP-BAN
Hi Guys, since you guys will be new to the Tour, make sure to figure out how to connect to the Multiplayer server of FGMEMBERS before the event. That will make your joining much smooth,

Instructions depend on FG version, read here for FG 3.4 or less, or Here for FG 3.6 or higher (including FG 2016.1)

I have already set it up for Kim, as she is using my other PC for this. (hence the one joystick issue).

Okay, another change ...
I can'T bring the Ju-87 from Helijah to work reliable. He has an engine from a Ju-87B1, tanks from a Ju-87A, the plane flips on A/P at some point without any reason over and dies, using the flaps as dive breaks doesn't work, the auto-recovery of the original is not there and taxiing is a bit wild, that could be a Yasim issue though. So, since I have no time to do a full JSB at this time, I gave up on her.
The Albatros D.III from Lester flies stable as a stone, the A/P works like a train on tracks and if you find some wind, you can have fun playing kite The only thing was the range ... however, a closer look reveals, there was a little glitch in the calculation of the tank size (120 liters of AVGas come to rounded 189.5 lbs, not 120 lbs) and Yasim smuggled into this WWI plane the whole functionality of mixture and propeller-pitch settings (which in the original plane didn't exist that way). So with the bigger tank and flying her like a small WWII aircraft instead of a WWI model gives her more than the range needed (the original had 261 nm range, using mixture/pitch and the bigger tank, she gets 320-350 nm now, depending in altitude and winds) ...

In this leg I will fly my beloved purple and green kite, and since she is so much fun, both days!!!! Yay!!!!!

Nice JWOCKY. I've fallen for the Optica.

Last lap in preparation for the USA Tour Leg 46th

We are meeting this Saturday (April 2nd) and this Sunday (April 3rd) to fly monoprops to Memphis, TN

IHCOL

I will be taking the Optica as well.

If I get time I'll give IH-COL company by flying the Beagle B.121 Pup or maybe my trusted c172p.
