A short flight this time, so the Baron will remain in the Hangar for a change.

I thought about using the default Piper Cub for the flight, but those wings are much to wide apart, and those main wheels are much too close together, often resulting a damaged wing when the plane tips on to its side when maneuvering on the ground if great care is not taken, (Ground Loop!).... Embarrassed...!

Tip: Once landed in the tail-dragger Piper Cub, ALWAYS come to a complete standstill BEFORE changing direction (Taxiing).. Cool...!

I've lost count of the number of times I have watched my Multiplayer Chums ground-looping their Piper Cubs...always good for a laugh, and wondering what next years Insurance Premium will be!...Tee-Hee!... Grin...!

So...for the flight I think I will wheel out my default, red and black, Cessna 172. It should do the job quite nicely. (It's a shame Uncle Bill didn't include a DEFAULT Cessna 150/152 for this type of short flight!).

Flight Plan filed, gassed-up, oiled-up, bugs removed, tyres inflated, beer cans installed, and ready to roll... Smiley...!

F...G-BPLF... Cool...!

FS started to screw up right after take off. Don't know what is wrong with it but it keeps giving me a headache. I think it is time for some re-installing of my entire pc.

Hello Crash... Smiley...

I sometimes find that if I have been browsing, fiddling around, etc, on the Computer for hours on end, and then fire up the Flight Sim (or a Game), I often get strange, random crashes, corruptions, etc, so what I do now is to shut down the Computer completely and clear out the Memory and Hard Drive for a few minutes to settle it down, then start up the Flight Sim from scratch just before the Flight.
It appears to run more reliably, without problems then.

F.... Wink...!

Hello Crash... Wink...!

It's a funny old do...

But sometimes I forget...

Whenever you install a new Game, the recommendation is to ALWAYS re-set the computer BEFORE playing it....

..so.... (if I remember).... I try to do the same thing before firing up the Flight Sim, for the same reasons.... Smiley...!

...it deletes the contents of my Memory...for a while... Grin...!

LOL... Grin...!

F....Vacant....as usual... Cool...!
