    Great news

    Problem is , it appears Flightsim is down as I first tried at 6 am this morning and got an "Oops! This link appears broken." warning .......

    Off to work shortly so hopefully I'll get it later today

    Hard to reject this proposal, isn't it?

    I'll add it into the pattern, now that I have the TCA logos in stock and with the help of your "lining remarks".

    Should be "number four for landing":

    First will be the TCA Dakota,
    second the TVCG PolOtter (delayed, but not forgotten),
    third this one which Javis just bugged into my ear...:




    I wonder if a Lufthansa and a Capitol Connie are already in the works...

    Sorry to wander off topic,

    BUT, can someone maybe tell me why I need to get my post approved ? and also why that that must take hours to get a post visible here ?

    I'm mostly used to make a post and than be able to see it pretty much directly, what am I missing ?

    Thanks to Manfred and his team of talented helpers

    A couple of "minor" issues I found on a 1700 mile 'test hop' yesterday:

    The FE panel defaults to opening as a full window covering your VC but it can be dragged to a smaller size to allow you to see the approaching ground

    When you close the FE panel while in the VC it automatically opens the "Radio" panel (but it's only the secondary radios).

    Hint: read up on the fuel management system! I didn't blow an engine because I tried to be good and gentle, but I DID have a fuel supply issue (see below)

    If you need to feather an engine thru the FE panel you may find you have to open the Lower FE Panel which then covers (as default) the engine control levers. (How do I know?? that pesky double engine failure while in cruise, on Otto, as the crew was having lunch showed me a lot of surprises)

    If you load the World Wide Airlines repaint (ww1049g.zip) it will take a bit of shuffling to get it all set up and it appears (at least on my sim) with blurries on the fuselage textures...have to cycle thru the views to get it to pop in sharp and then it looks great! I've emailed Garry Harper to inquire about it.
    Update: Garry has released a revised set of textures .. on FlightSim today

    Sound: I aliased mine to the Breitling Connie sound set but others are out there.. I just like that particular one.
    -- "squeaky brakes" don't seem as loud as the Starliner but that might might just be my ears after 5 hrs of Turbo-Compound abuse

    As I said, small issues.. and to be back in a Connie on a 5 hr cross-country was a treat

    Now comes the review of my Connie references to find all the ones that need to be painted (so far I've found about 9 candidates outside the obvious ones that are worthy) :mixedsmi:

    We have a look into the FE/Radio issue

    Blown an engine

    I recomend to read the FM(****)and/or have a look to the status panel-->rightclick the kneeboard icon-->White engine BHP turn yellow-->turn red-->blow up if you dont go to correct rpm and MAP

    2 engines out of 4-->lots of fun

    Thanks Roland
    It doesn't seem like a blown engine.. after the precautionary landing and some meddling with the cross-feed controls ( the first time) the two dead engines restarted.. on the second occurrence ( the pax were a bit annoyed ) .. the FE ordered a truck of fuel and then was able to restart the dead two so I suspect it's an FE problem with his fuel management system.. he's been sent for re-training (if you CAN train a guy who rides side-saddle!)

    Having been a passenger on a r/l Connie 3-engine approach & landing (and the son of a TCA mechanic) I learned the Turbo-Compounds were to be treated gently
