I've noticed that if I get the C-46 off of the runway or taxiway, it doesn't want to roll very well. It's like I get stuck in the mud at the end of runway.
Getting into Cape Glochester wasn't a problem for me. Getting out was because I had to start on the end of runway and couldn't get any extra run at it. Used so much runway getting out of there, I was looking for a Republic name plate on the Commando. It was tight at the end, but I got it flying before I ran off the bank.

i'm glad to hear that it's happened to you, too.
it's happened before on a grass field,
but this time it was on concrete.
very strange, because i've lightened up the payload a bit.
i mean, 100% throttle and she wouldn't budge.
heck, i even set the superchargers to HIGH
and closed the cowl flaps.
oh well, i restarted FS9
and did a couple practice take offs.
no problem...i even saved a flight
with a new aircraft re-setup.
will make the run a little later.
i'm starting to really like this big girl.
i'd like to see what she can do

...departing CPG Cape Gloucester for FIN
i plan on testing the cd eject effect on Duenna issue
after i get settled in.

the best i could do on the cd thing
was to get the FS Available window
to turn yellow when i ejected/reinstalled a cd.
note the Error warnings in the Duenna text.
Willy, just wondering,
what cd player are you using?

sitting here, full throttle.
damn thing won't budge.
just noticed....
engine sync off
bet she'll roll now.

yes, the failure to get rolling at FIN
was due to pilot error...
when typing, i inadvertently, desynced the engines.
she just doesn't want to get goin' on one.
funny how that works.
i also tested the cd eject/install again,
same story.
as i recall, there is a box to check
or uncheck to solve the problem.
i think it's in the cd player ReadMe.
i'll have a look see.
sometimes the magic works.
sometimes it doesn't.
found it...
this is from the ReadMe for R.L. Clark's
AM/FM Radio CD Player, version 4
which i really like.
Also make sure your "Auto insert notification" box is unchecked in the \Properties\Settings for your CD/DVD ROM drive set through your Windows Control Panel System Device Manager.
of course, i have to admit
that i can't find this box
on my XP machine.
just wondering, how is your auto play set up?

boy, oh boy,
that one snuck right up on me.
i thought it was around the next spur.
good thing i wasn't too high or goin' too fast.

okay guys, make it quick.
unload 250# worth of beer and smokes

i think that might be it for today.
our anniversary is the 29th
and we're going out
to a fancy pants dinner tonight.
it should be very nice,
with excellent food
and maybe even a few drinks.
i promise not to get stupid...
i want to keep the food down
and avoid that nasty headache.
ahh, isn't old age wonderful?

Radio/CD 4 gauge by R.L. Clark Has a "FM" and a "AM" channel of six selections each that are programmable to sound files on your computer along with playing a music CD from your CD/DVD drive. Looks like an in dash CD player for a car.
It very well could be a product of the combination of FS, Duenna, RadioCD gauge all running on my ancient comp at the same time.
It's just the CD function. When the drive door closes and the comp starts to read the CD, then it locks up my comp for about 10 seconds and I get a red duenna for a few of those seconds. FS also freezes up if I go to reprogram the "radio" function in flight.

okay, everyone slept in and should be well rested.
and the Sounders knocked off Real Salt Lake last night, 2-1,
breaking the RSL 2 year unbeaten at home record,
not to mention, the Sounders 2 goals,
equaled the total goals against RSL this year.
well done, Sounders!
so, after all that, let's get to it;

BARELY!!!
Holy Ravioli! what the heck was that?
coming in from the lake side
sure was interesting...to say the least,
then, after deciding at the last second
that the lakeside approach was not a good idea,
the go around was a real treat.
especially, the cloud bank up against the mountain side approach.
all in all pretty scary stuff,
but we made it.
might just have to crack a beer
or three after that one.
oh yeah, and to top it off,
the root, toot, toot factor
has just kicked in.
it has finally dawned on me
what the link at the bottom
of the Duenna text is for.

apparently, Heidi and Oliver
don't think it's a good idea
for me to slam down a few beers
and then attempt to fly out
of this hole called Sentani.
this time, i have to agree
(nope, :isadizzy: not good)
and i'm darn glad those two
are keeping me on a short leash.
thanks kids,
i'd hate to blow it
this close to the end.
...departing WAJJ (Sentani) for WABB (Biak)
i'll eat my bowl of cereal on the way.

Try landing at WAJJ at night with some fog. That'll raise the hairs on the back of your neck. You know those mountains are there, but where exactly?
Let Being Helpful Be More Important Than Being Right.
yeah, for some strange reason,
i keep picturing Paul,
with a devious grin,
adding that one to the list.
good one, Buddy

Seems everyones WAJJ is sunk in. I was worried about clipping the trees diving onto the runway, and when climbing out.
A thought about the radio/cd player. Ive had occasioal trouble programming also, sim freezes and such. Read something about using windowed mode when setting the tracks. Tried this and everything has been working well so far. Have not used the disk player, but windowed mode might work here also.
yeah, i'm glad that one's behind us.
funny you should mention the player,
i just swapped cds and everything froze
during the load process.
i feel like i'm skating on thin ice
everytime i change disks.
i guess i should look into the window mode, also.
maybe later...
i just crossed the north coast.
it won't be long now.

one more for the books,
one more to go...
all be it, the Biggie.
lets shut 'er down for a bit
and let the mechanics
give her the once over
before the long one.
after we off load, say,
250-500# of goodies,
we can go stretch our legs
and see what there is to see.
------------
actually, as reality would have it,
i need to go spend some time with the Mrs.
we will most likely watch the races,
which she likes, all most as much as the Sounders.
not really, for her, the Sounders are way above
and beyond all other sports events.
but i digress, it is our anniversary (28th, i think)
and i'm off to do my duty
__________
heck, i might even have that beer
i was talking about
way back there somewhere.

I've been flying the race in the windowed mode. Doesn't make much difference here.

so much for that idea.
i guess that leaves,
don't change cds in flight.
arrrgh, and with a 3+ hour flight coming up.

computers are acting a little strange.
hope it's nothing serious...
