FM (No Static At All)... Great title song from a good soundtrack album for a lackluster movie. :icon_lol: <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/Yl7zf_qApoA?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Me too. :frown: Dr. Greg Forbes from the Weather Channel is on scene, he stated there is no doubt in his mind this was an EF5. He saw curbing from the streets ripped up and imbedded in the earth some distance away from where it was picked up. Also being reported now that this tornado was 3 times larger than the 1999 one. Looks like if you were not in an underground shelter in the path of this one, your chances of survival were very slim. :frown:

I've used AirNav for years, but this seems better suited for FSX users. Thanks for the heads up. :applause:

Hope he's upstream from Babe... :icon_lol:

Sure, you're welcome. Definitely install Rob's VTOL/Hover gauge for the Osprey then. It's magic. :mixedsmi:

Which in this case is why you should go find a store and test drive one. It is your posterior that is going to be parked in for long periods of time. You need to find out if it is something you will like to sit in. As I said, mine was expensive, but has lasted me 10 years. Well, more. At the original price, that works out to a little over $40 a year worth of use. A good investment and a bargain. Especially for the amount of time its been sat in. :icon_lol:

I like it, but... It's heavy on the frame rates. It is a few years old now, shows its age a bit, IMHO. The default flight dynamics are, lets say odd at times. The transitions from hover to flight or back to a hover can be frustrating. However... Rob Barendregt released a V(S)TOL/Hovering gauge for the Tiltrotor, version 4 of that gauge last September. I know its available at AVSim, if you do a search for his last name.

I have an office chair, but its a high end Executive style one I got through my local office supply store. Has about 9 adjustment areas, plenty of gel padding in areas for hours of sitting in front of the computer. Folks thought I was crazy to spend that much on a chair, few hundred dollars. It's held up way better than the ones available at a discount store. Most of those discount store types lasted me a couple years, and became quickly uncomfortable, and got thrown away. This one is going onto a decade now, and is about as tightly built as the day it was delivered. Some of the padding on the arm rests is a little worn, but those actually could be replaced.

How odd, it looks like kilo delta's avatar pic... HEY! :icon_lol: Means when the 7 series get released, I buy the 6 series as they finally become more affordable. :mixedsmi:

I'm going to go with TALENT lacking these days. :blind: Ugh, Auto-Tune...

Wonderful paint! :applause: I think it's still a good looking model, and the VC is doable, for me.

Damn. I'm tearing up here. That was truly wonderful. Probably a little "verklempt" because of Chris's video from the day before... <iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/nSy0vBaYrIU?rel=0" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" width="560"></iframe> I'm really going to miss ISS Commander, Col. Chris Hadfield being "up there". :salute: His YouTube videos from the ISS from the past few months have just been treasures.

STEAM had it on sale for cheap at one time. I picked it up, probably used it a few times, and haven't touched it in many months. Like Mr. Stolle stated, it looks nice.

At some point in the future, I can already tell that some yardwork is going to be disrupted right after this gets released. :icon_lol: Louise and I are going to go for a drive when that happens... :icon_twi:

I like it. :applause: Especially because it looks a bit like a Mosquito series helicopter. http://www.innovator.mosquito.net.nz/mbbs2/index.asp

My response was not directed at you, but for someone else who may be reading this thread, and may be interested in obtaining a paint kit from Virtavia for their respective aircraft. Especially since there is a sale going on for Virtavia products at this present time. I was trying to be helpful and provide a link to the paint kits. :salute:

Looking forward to it! :applause:

Folks can usually find the Paint Kits for most Alphasim/Virtavia products at the Virtavia Freeware site: :wavey: http://www.virtavia.com/Freeware/index.php?dir=/Paint%20Kits

Under $20 for 3 aircraft by Simon is a real bargain. Sold. Downloaded. Installed. My only regret is that it is time for bed, and I am really tired from a very busy day. I won't get to fly them until I wake up. :crybaby: Thanks, Francois! :applause:

Wow. Even the recently released A-4, B-36, Mi-24 Hind, and B-45 Tornado. :icon_eek:

Don't forget a lot of those 60's customing guys also designed for Hot Wheels too. I know the "Python" was a Dean Jeffries design.

Same thing happened to me. Autoloader put the Virtavia HU-16 folder in the main FSX directory, for me. I just cut and pasted it into the correct directory. (To others reading in, remember to copy your original .cfg file if you have added repaints before updating, as it will overwrite the old .cfg file.) I haven't had a chance to try the new version yet, glad to hear there are improvements to the VC. Was going to finally do some flying on my day off here, but the sewage pump for the septic system decided to short out and stop working. Really makes for a great afternoon swapping that out instead of flying. :toilet:

I have them all, already. :icon_lol: Having experience with ultralights, the Drifter tends to be my favorite, great visibility for sightseeing. I enjoy the Eaglet too, like the cockpit.
