Hey Fozzer! I can understand the confusion. I've had to fly to variegated parts of the globe for many years, so flying in big jets is like going home (almost). However, I had my first experience of real seat-of-the-pants flying at the controls in a microlight early last year, so I enjoy doing that now occasionally for real. In the sim, I also occasionally do microlights for fun - see the pic. It's photoreal south-east England.

Hi Micro... Grin

...!
Since your sad departure from our (sunny?), shores, the most popular growth in aircraft over here, due to the ever increasing costs, regulations, etc, are Microlights (Ultralights), and Flexwings...!
They are the pilots with BIG smiles on their faces...!
Modern light Microlights are as fast now as the small, older G.A., Cessna's, etc, and cost a lot less to buy, run and maintain...!
My local airfield is full of little "buzz-planes", racing around and having REAL fun now, for the cost of Pennies, (or near enough)... 8)...!

Everyone would love to own, and fly, a Jumbo 747, but ~~most~~ all of us can barely afford a para-glider... Cry

...!
LOL...!

Cheers mate... Grin

I still live here, although I have to travel frequently. High altitudes in big jets is fun, but I agree with you - there's nothing quite like skimming over tree tops - in the real world.

Owning a plane ... now that's quite a concept! Hiring one for the occasional hour will have to do, I think! Grin

Single and twin rotary engines. Favorite: Beechcraft d18, (bd18-eca), from fs98, which Ive flown for years(Simming) and have tuned up for 2k2. Also Beavers, (nasbvr3). Also enjoy the default Baron58.

Enjoy bush flying and supply flights to outer village in Alaska, and regional GA and commercial from my base, 3cu, and all are great for that

Cheers,

do you still fly the ECA beech 18 (which is a great model...)
there is a GMAX one out with a VC and lots of miving parts (cowl flaps and so on)

Being an Aerospace engineering student at the moment I will have a go at flying anything in Flight sim. Though mainly I enjoy flying the military types because its more interesting being different from the AI traffic!

However I have many Civil types which I mainly use for short 'hops' to prove to myself I can fly them aswell. The one type I try and steer clear off is Helicopters, though if I had enough time to learn I think they could be good aswell.

I have added over 300 aircraft to my sim, and they are of all varieties, I prefer big un's for going city to city and the little un's for site seeing, I have some weird stuff too, for no reason other than the weirdness factor.

&&Still no linked images allowed around here Paz! Naughty...&&

Yes I do Ivan, still a great plane. Have tweaked it for 2002, getting it to handle on the ground (Slo-Mo's only complaint in a review he posted), have tweaked the panel to my liking and added 2002 lighting.

Is that GMax an upgrade of the ECA (great looking livery and flight model) or new. Have dloaded many D18 over the years but never found one I liked as much as the ECA....I'll have to go look for that new GMAX one.

Somebody else's line.. but; 'Round engines rule!!'

All shapes and sizes! From the single-engine variety to the 777s and 747s. I have some payware (i.e. DC-9 and Piper Archer II), but mostly freeware.
