    Actually the FSX Real Weather is slightly different. I had clouds with a base about 2500' but could see the runway from about 8 miles out. I have the turbulence disable as eccomended but it was still a rather bumpy ride. Had to fight the controls at times.

    Next time I will be using AFX for my weather.

    All modern aircraft have four dimensions: Length, Width, Height and Polotics. The TSR.2 simply got the first three right

    No such file "FlightLog_20-54-26.JPG" in that folder. Maybe it is something to d with the Duenna and FSX.

    EDIT: Have had a long day and have Fire Service at 0800 in the morning time. Will sort things out after that

    Baton Free at LIPE (I think, vis is about 20metres. I would advise a full IFR aircraft, i'm shaking)

    That was a truly terrifying flight.

    I took off from Florence, Barely missing the hills, then had a nice peaceful flight over the mountains to Bologna. As I crossed the last ridge I tuned to Bologna and was told the airport was IFR, I did obligingly switch and was vectored in to the ILS approach. All was fine and dandy until I hit 500 feet, where visibility totally dissapeared. I followed the ILS as well as I could and just mised a house before landing. I'm still shaking from that approach.

    Thinking rationally I should have divetrted, but that was one ride I won't forget

    Duenna never produced a file because the crash caused a CTD
