Re: Best (sim) Multi-Engine Plane for FSX

I would recommend the MilViz C310. Good trainer. I don't think the RealAir Turbine Duke captures the engine dynamics properly, and is not well-suited for ME training, but it is VERY fun to fly in the sim.

Re: I did it!

Congrats!

I know exactly what you mean about the heights thing. I too am deathly afraid of heights, to the point of my legs get queezy when I see something on tv even, but sitting in that 172 I felt quite safe.

Re: CTAF Announcement for Midfield Entries

Hey Nik. Welcome!

I'm no expert but my best guess would be cross over the field perpendicular to the runway, above pattern alt, do a right teardrop into the downwind while dropping to altitude.

Just one old dude's opinion. :D

Re: Scenery for ZLA?

I got all mine from http://www.blueskyscenery.com/

slight misalignment at some airports but I just ignore it. If you're not feeling the bumps under your seat then it IS just simulated.
