Teamspeak...?
NAH... Wink

...!

Very few folks who pop in have, or know, what Teamspeak is all about, so the Chat Window is pretty universal for communication... Grin

...!

Snapshots...?
NAH...too busy navigating... Wink

...!

Turning on finals, operating the flaps, lowering the wheels, adjusting the throttle and prop levers, re-trimming the aircraft, watching the airspeed, talking to the Tower, watching out for other aircraft, etc, is not a good time to take photographs... Shocked

...!
...trust me...
LOL... Grin

...!

A fantastic trip Lads, with an excellent turn-out... Grin

...!

Well done Jimbo... Wink

Oh come on, it's just a matter of pushing the PrntScreen key! Wink

You can paste it afterwards into some image editor.
I, in turn, find awkward to keep my hands on the controls and at the same time type into that pesky chat window. How do you do it?

Typing in the Chat Window...?
Easy-peasy. It comes with many years of doing it in all sorts of on-line computer games....
Practice makes perfect... Wink

...!
LOL...!
The only time I avoid it, is during take-off and landing in the Flight Sims...
Once on auto-pilot you have all the time in the world to do a bit of typing...it's fun... Grin

Tee-Hee... Grin

...!

It's good fun, and excellent practice, navigating by the Bendix-King radios, in conjunction with FS Navigator and it's flight plans, (Which also enables me to see all you lot via RADAR, desperately hanging onto my tail in case you get lost... which you would otherwise do...trust me!... Wink

...LOL...!

Autopilot enables me to track between VOR and NDB beacons, and maintain a constant height and heading...
...and it also allows me to chat endlessly in the Chat Window, drink cups of tea, eat cheese sandwiches, pick my nose, go for a pee, etc, all with my hands off the controls.... Grin

...!
...sorted... Wink

Never fear, Fozzer is here... Wink
