Okay, this is the Michigan TM-5. They also built the Dallas-Breese X which evolved into the Vultee V-1A (same designer). "TM-5 1930 = 1pChwM; 120hp Dayton Bear. Engine was in a pod mounted atop the cabin. c/n 1. Reported scrapped and burned 9/3/30, reg cancelled 9/5/30" Open board please.

PRB replied to a thread air file now has different icon in FS 2002/2004 General Discussion

In my case, I installed a program that used files with the same extension (.air), and that program "took over" the file association without asking. Something like this may have happened. Milton's suggestion should fix it. In the case of Win7, you right-click, select "Open-with", then "Choose default program..."

Who knows! The company produced one other design, a low wing monoplane that looked vaguely like a Vultee V-1. Edit: Here is an ad for the actual engine.

Yep. Amazing. On the other hand, I still think his team mate Kane is one of the coolest characters in the field. And by cool I don't mean "yo! dude!", but calm under pressure. See how he reached into his flaming car to activate the fire extinguisher after getting out? We usually just see the drivers run away from their flaming rides, which is perfectly understandable!

Willy replied to a thread Oops in FS 2002/2004 General Discussion

I'm not sure, from the VC on short final it was looking like the approach angle was a little low, but should touchdown about the rear deck elevator. The landing wasn't looking perfect, but good enough that I didn't "take the wave off" & go around. Hit the deck and pieces started flying. It dropped down on the belly and slid up to where it's at in the pic (the bow was starting to look awful close as I was sliding towards it). I've been having issues with the Seafire and the MAAM CVL anyway. Touch down between the rear elevator and the stern and it automatically crashes. So, I've been landing a little long onto the second group of wires forward of the elevator. But I took off from there this morning and flew on to Hong Kong where I landed on the USS Lexington in the harbor with no problems.

We flew up river to Kiunga or something like that. Nice flight over the jungle and just glad I didn't have to make an emergency landing. I hear some of the people living there like to have you for dinner. Anyway, we're getting ready to cross some tall hills so I was checking the emergency supplies in the back and found a couple of crates that could come in handy...

PRB replied to a thread Default GPWS question in FSX General Discussion

Re the original question: In FS9's sound folder there was a GPWS folder inside of which was a wav file for each of the altitude call outs. The files were called "10.wav", 100.wav", "200.wav", etc. These were the standard wav files for the "dude" calling out altitudes during approach. The "DON'T SINK" and "PULL UP" wav files were in there as well. I found a sexy female voice version of all those files on AVSIM or someplace and replaced them. I've been looking through my backed up FSX files (my FS computer is "T.U.") but I can't find where they're located in FSX. They may be specific to the aircraft's sound folder. Seems to me you should be able to replace them the same way.

Well, took the Goose on it's first leg and let's just say that it's not all the guy I bought it from made it out to be. The engines sound like sick washing machines and seem to run either at idle or wide open. Anyway, we made it to PNG and I've got to break out the tool kit and see what I can do with it. Maybe I should have spent less time kicking the tires and more time for a test flight.

The only ship that I was on that any armor to speak of was the USS Lexington CVT-16. And it's an Essex class CV. I was surprised at a how thin the metal is on a Whibdey Island class LSD. I'm thinking that with the right ammo, you could shoot through it with a 30-06. And they kept us within artillery range of the Bosnian coast for a few months.
