Hi all,

While messing around with the panel gauges, I took some minutes to make a pleasant test flight with Alrot's CitationX. Got some screens to share

Departure from Bowerman, the weather is not really nice, but at least it's not raining and the winds are calm...

(note to Doug: see ? In this one I should have placed the plane more down in the picture. There is too much useless ground in the bottom part, even with that grass. I didn't pay attention Tongue

)

It sure doesn't look good up there.... but the plane looks good, so it should be alright Grin

Easy takeoff with no turbulences, I'm going to Concrete, hoping the runway will be long enough... ah, it's been a while since I practised any touch and go's anyways Grin

Here is the approach. I didn't make any additionnal screenshots after this... it didn't really end well... that runway is really short Cheesy

Got bloom ?
Got mountains ?
Got damage ?

Great shots, Stephane Cool

"Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth and danced the skies on laughter silvered wings. Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun split clouds.....and done a hundred things you have never dreamed of.....wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence. Hovering there, I've chased the shouting wind along and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air.

Up, up the long, delerious, burning blue I've topped the wind swept heights with easy grace where never Lark, nor even Eagle flew. While with silent lifting of mind I've trod the high untrespassed sanctity of space, put out my hand and touched the face of god"

Hi Stephane...

I see what you mean in shot #1...but it still looks good...

In my opinion your last shot is the best.

Now are you telling me you did not set your Approach to Landing correctly.... Shocked

Wonderful shots...well done... Wink

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug

Thanks for the kind comments.

Doug, indeed the landing was not so stylish I have to say Grin

Perhaps I should have directly crashed, it would have been more efficient... I mean, at least the "aircraft" would have come to a stop soon enough Cheesy

Got bloom ?
Got mountains ?
Got damage ?
