Mr. Van Etten
indicates that he is making some changes in the Flight Times and that these
changes should go into effect within the next few weeks.
The FlightTimes today starts
off
with an unusual source and story that I consider a must read.
February 6, 2005
Please be sure to read the whole
story, I know it has political slant, you can extract what you wish to
believe, but remember where to is smoke there is fire. Enjoy
The Sun Chaser
The latest product I have received
from JUST FLIGHT for testing is the
Concorde Professional Limited Edition
This is certainly an impressive
simulation package and destined to become a collector’s item. An
instructional film accompanies the software on DVD that is well worth
the cost complete package by itself..
The film is an instructional walk
around with the Concorde Flight crew. You will receive instruction as
to pre-flight check on the ground, before take-off and during the
flight. This is fascinating stuff for seasoned pilots as well as
beginners. All levels will enjoy this. I also suggest watching the film
BEFORE installing anything. This is certainly not a simulation to just
jump in, thump the throttle and take-off. The results will not be
satisfactory; I suggest for once a more serious approach.
The Concorde is known by everybody
and will be for many years to come. It was and still is a symbol of
what human engineering can achieve. It was the only supersonic
passenger aircraft in the world. It had the ability to fly twice the speed of sound at
60,000 feet crossing from
London to New York in about three and a half-hours.
Strangely enough it was a joint
effort between France and Britain, two cultures often at odds with each
other. The inaugural flight was made on January 21, 1976 with BA flying
from London Heathrow to Bahrain.
Only 16 aircraft have been manufactured.
More details can be found in the
160-page manual that is delivered with this exceptional product. This
manual is an engineer’s delight as it is stuffed full of details not
normally found in your library. I suggest careful reading of this
booklet before attempting a take-off at all.
The level of realism is exceptional.
Should you succeed in taking-off you will have your hands full till you
reach cruising altitude. If you don't familiarise yourself with the
multitude of switches you will soon find yourself in panic as bells and
whistles and gongs go off every few minutes informing you of
procedures, dangers etc. The virtual cockpit is extremely accurate.
This is truly a simulation that will
keep you busy for the rest of the year.
Runs only Windows 2000 or XP
and will insist that you have at least 512mb of RAM and processor of 2
Ghz. Attempting to run this on lower spec will be devastating. WARNING!
This is serious software and highly addictive. If you open this
Saturday morning you’ll be gone for the weekend.
We are thrilled to announce that Trailfinders have
donated £10,000 to 'Flying Scholarships for the Disabled'
through the 'Mike Gooley Trailfinders Charity'. This has been invested
in the endowment fund and will be used to fund 'Trailfinders' Mini
Scholarships'. We are all very grateful for this generous donation.

Northrop AT-38B
The US Air Force
originally ordered the T-38A Talon in the 1950s as an advanced,
supersonic flight trainer. The Talon’s maneuverability also made it
useful as a trainer, fighter lead-in, and as the first in a series of
aggressor aircraft. more................

NEW STUFF FOR X-Plane 8.06
SINCE 8.05:
The total-energy
variometer is now based on INDICATED airspeed, not true groundspeed.
this
is the way real total-energy varios work.
The
visual flight model ('/' key a few times to see it in different levels)
now
shows the PROPELLER forces per element... it's cool to see the varying
lift distributions
on
helicopters and VTOLS when they are moving forwards rapidly, creating
all sorts of strange
asymmetric
effects!
Control
systems with artificial stability can "flutter" at low frame-rates.
While
this can never be totally avoided (you need some speed to run a
flight-control computer!)
the
worst-case flutter condition has been considerably reduced, improving
low-frame-rate artificial stability,
of
course with no detriment to the high-frame-rate cases.
New
joystick buttons options: speedbrakes retract 1 notch, speedbrakes
extend one notch...
as
well, if you hit the retract button when the brakes are already
retracted, the brakes go the "auto-deploy" mode.
Set
the initial THROTTLE now in the map view when placing aircraft by
clicking on the various maps. Kind of nice.
Elec
system: The battery voltage indicators now indicate the bus voltage, as
in the real airplane...
Turning
on the generators will show a higher voltage if the generators are able
to turn out more voltage than the battery...
this
is dependant on whether the generators are on, the engine they are
connected to is turning fast enough, and they have not broken!
Mods
to the GPS NMEA output should allow altitude display on more receivers.
bug-fix:
ADF 1/2 really does show both ADG-1 and ADF-2!
bug-fix:
sim could crash in certain weather conditions... fixed now
bug
fix: if you select the "get lost" menu item when on mars, then (you
guessed it) you get lost on Mars
bug-fix:
fewer (if any) "bumpy runways"

SOUTHWEST ASIA (AFPN)
-- Recently 250 additional
U.S. truck drivers per week were removed from the dangerous roads of

from the United States to airfields in Iraq. This, combined with
existing air operations, now removes about 1,280 convoy drivers per
week from Iraqi roads.
