Re: Apologies to the controllers

"John Wayne Ground... really? At the hold short line?! You f*#$ing moron!" A month or so ago, I was flying out of a small non-towered field (N87 Robbinsville) near my home Class D field (KTTN Trenton Mercer). Shortly after takeoff from Robbinsville, I called Trenton to get back into the C...

Re: Parking gate/ramp locations

Nice try :). But your quote-out-of-context makes you worthy of becoming a televangelist!

Parking gate/ramp locations

Does anyone know of a database (or list) that maps the not-very-helpful names in the FSX parking locations (when selecting an airport to hyperspace to) to actual parking locations on the official airport diagram? If not, is it just a matter of trial and error for everyone to find out the places that...

Re: Apologies to the controllers

Do it enough and you no longer think about the comms, they just happen. Thanks, Keith. I look forward to that day. Although, I must say, I am having a great time on the journey. Your comment makes me recall something that my CFI told me (all those years ago... when I had the time and money for a fe...

Re: Apologies to the controllers

Every time I hear this I start to roll on floor laughing. THEN I stop myself because except for happenstance it could be me........ I have just been lucky that some of the "conversations" that have gone on between me and the Sim haven't been caught on tape. :roll: Yep! Every time I make a...

Re: Accept 'Except'? (...and no Autopilot love)

You will all be pleased to hear that, with those last two posts (wmburns & Keith), I'm happy to let this one rest. Your contributions and cross-examinations have been stimulating and, now, I really think we've beaten to this poor horse to death (...and then taken his carcass out back, stuck skew...

Re: another test video from cockpit

Finally finished watching it and all I can say is.... that was mental! Your rwy 1 landing into N07 scared the living [ epithet for brown human waste ] out of me! The way you floated over those trees, breezed over the damn-there's-one-third-of-my-runway-gone displaced threshold (at what looked like 2...

Re: Accept 'Except'? (...and no Autopilot love)

Thanks for the feedback/input, everyone. I still feel that the wording of "Climb via SID, EXCEPT maintain 4000" [for this SID] is less than ideal for this simple reason: There is nothing EXCEPTional (or contradictory vis-à-vis the SID) about staying below 3000ft by SMOR145 and then climbin...
