Taco's ride F6F

[Taco]

Will be heading out shortly from AGGT to (hopefully) AGGA. Flying Grumman F6F real weather.

[Taco]

Well, need to do the flight over, the %$#@$% FSX locked up when we were almost there! Getting to hate FSX!

[Willy]

Lucky 13?

Hope you get it sorted out.

[Taco]

Hey! here I go again, but this time got rid of the sharp stick and went to my shop and got my biggest hammer!AGGT to AGGA again.Jim

[Taco]

$^&&*^%! Again! FSX is so darn smart it told me needed to restart! Biggest hammer no go, now will get my cap and ball 44 out!

$^&&*^%! Again! FSX is so darn smart it told me needed to restart! Biggest hammer no go, now will get my cap and ball 44 out!

Something that you and I share. No idea why it insists on locking up when I'm almost there, but without knowing there's no sense in continuing this mess. Good Luck!

[Taco]

The darn thing did again. Now I have tried many times with FSX, and still shutting down, now I am ready to get the 12 gauge out and toss the FSX discs into the air and see if I can get both before they hit the ground! If nothing else will go to FS9 and fly a TBF.

[Taco]

What the $%^&^, going to try it again! lol

[Taco]

Happy days! Finally made it! It looks like I had a conflict with in my scenery. OK, landed at AGGA What the Heck! Will upload Duenna when this doggone Manage Attachments lets me. This has been a reocurring problem I have been having with trying to uploading on the Manage thing!

[PRB]

Good news Jim!

[Taco]

Been trying for over 30 mins to get on this site and upload Duenna, but for some reason SOH just won't let me. Any one know why this happens all the darn time!

[Taco]

Wow! here is the Duenna information from my flight AGGT to AGGA

[Taco]

While all is working OK, up loaded a few pictures of my flight.

[Taco]

Hey there! Here we go again. Leaving AGGA for AGGF Still F6F real weather.

[Taco]

Another one in the Book! Landed at AGGF.You know, I thought this would be a real nice leasurely flight, you know, with white sand beaches and pretty young ladies run around in those small, small bathing suit, if you want to call them that, and drinking down the local joy juice, but what did I get! Thunder storms with winds blowing me all over the place, and sparkies, and real heavy cloud cover. One thing I can say, I am sure glad I didn't eat any breakfast this AM! heheTaco

[Taco]

Hey! Things are still cool, and the local thunderstorms have moved over towards Moses's homestead. Anyway, we are off again leaving AGGV and heading towards AGGM along with all the sparkies and winds. lol. Still flying the F6F with real weather.

[Taco]

Along with all the other things that happened today, I goofed! The above information should read AGGF to AGGV not AGGV to AGGM! Hehe a big Oops. Landed at AGGV, same old weather, but below 1500ft it calmed down a little and made for a good landing.

[Taco]

Going for one more flight tonight. So here goes, leaving AGGV and heading towards AGGM.

[Taco]

AH.....shoot, FSX up to it old problems just before landing the bugger locked up again. Man, it was a nice flight up to that point. Will give her a go tomorrow.

[MM]

Some great screenshots of the "Hellcat Over the Pacific"!

[Taco]

Hey! off and running again, leaving AGGV to AGGM Same bird, and weather

[Taco]

FSX said no workie on Sunday and shut down. going retry AGGV to AGGM

[Taco]

We landed at AGGM, for some reason, maybe the nut on the keyboard, it taken me longer to post this than fly the flight! hehe. Maybe, I need more coffee, shucks, almost fell asleep on this flight.

[Taco]

:jump:Whoa! I think I is on a roll! hehe. So heading from AGGM to AGGE. Sure funny what affect a big sharp stick has on FSX.

Jim

[Taco]

Wow! sure hope here in the near future the weather changes for the better. Landed with all the planes parts and my parts, hehe, at AGGE after I found it. One thing with all the rock and rolling due to the weather, I think I may have all the move now to become a rock and roll star! lol.


:very_drunk:

[Taco]

I am as ready as always, Those Mud Marines over at AGGM offered me some coffee, and boy, I needed it! You know what, I think those nice Marines (hehe) put the coffee in the F6F fuel tanks and filled my coffee cup with Avgas! Back to whats on hand. Leaving AGGE to AYBK

[robert41]

Best to watch out with them guys over on Munda. Especially the pilots.

[Taco]

Now that was one heck of a ride! Landed at AYBK after climbing over those hills, and the wind going in every direction, up, down and side ways, Oops, forgot the sparkies! And a very brisk cross wind on landing. Now if we were back in New Mexico I would find me a Navajo Singer have him get us some good weather!!!!

[Taco]

Ridem cowboy! head them'm off at the pass! Oops, wrong story hehe. Anyway, heading out from AYBK to MKO. No food! No Coffee, hehe ready for the bounce!

[Taco]

Unable to complete the above flight, Phone been ringing off of the hook! Well, it is my birthday and family and friends have been calling. Will finish this one tomorrow. As far as age goes for Flight 19, fellows the last time I saw 75 was on the speedometer. hehe. Night all. and you all have some great flights.Jim

[Taco]

Hi All! New week, new day and a new start. AYBK to MKO.

[Taco]

Gee! forgot one thing on the above post! SAME OLD WEATHER!Landed at MKO all is good!

[Taco]

Good day folks, like I said new week, and same old weather! Things went well on the last flight so we are going to give the that flight a go. Leaving MKO and hope to land at AYTK.

[Taco]

Hehe, hot dog! made another one! Here we were putting along doing our rock and roll thing when the bloody weather opened up, and there was one great big hill. Pulled back on the stick and bingo, we went over the top hehe if the gears would have been down would have made a perfect landing on top of that bugger! Drean on Taco! lol Anyway landed at AYTK

[Taco]

Off and running again, this time leaving AYTK to JCB.

[Taco]

Hey there folks, we added another one to the book! Landed at JCB and all is good. Thought I was dreaming, the weather! It was so smooth I couldn't believe it, shucks, almost fell asleep would have if it wasn't for those big mole hills.:wavey:
:wavey:

[Taco]

:wavey: Here we are, looks like a longer flight. Spent this AM looking for a drop tank for the Cat going to need the extra fuel in order to make the trip. Luck out, some Marines found a F6F belly tank that didn't leak, thank goodness, with their help we got it installed and filled full fuel.

We are leaving JCB and heading to GSP (GUSAP)

[Taco]

Gee! what a surprise, FSX didn't make the trip. Just stopped! Will try again later.:banghead:

[Taco]

:encouragement: Hehe, going to try again JCB to GSP

[Taco]

Well the #$^$#@$ FSX locked up again. No more tonight.

[Taco]

:encouragement: Hey there, going to give this bloody thing one more go.! JCB to GSP

[Taco]

:wiggle::wiggle: Hey how about this we made it......! Landed at GSP! Man! it sure took a heck of a long time for us to finish this section of the race!

[Taco]

:encouragement: Hey all, going to push of luck hopefully it is still with us. Leaving GSP to HFD. May we have fair winds.:applause:

[Taco]

:very_drunk: Hey here are again, we made it. The flight was so nice if this bugger would have had a sleeper I would have been in it taking snooze! Back to Bidness we landed at HFD in one pc.

[PRB]

:wiggle::wiggle: Hey how about this we made it......! Landed at GSP! Man! it sure took a heck of a long time for us to finish this section of the race!

Jim, looks like you posted the wrong duenna files for this leg...

[Taco]

Well that takes the cake!

[Taco]

:biggrin-new::biggrin-new: Hey Paul, delete the Duenna from the first flight, so I re-flew the bugger. JCB to GSP over those bloody mountains. lol.

Jim

[Taco]

:wavey::wavey:Off again, HFD to WABB

[Taco]

:biggrin-new:Hey folks, Hehe we made it. A very nice flight, got a little short on fuel but all went well. Came in a little fast and needed to go around, but all ended well@

Landed at WABB.

jim

[Taco]

:running: Hey Yall! Luck seems to be going our way for a change, hehe, So we are going to give this a go! leaving WABB to WA1A.

[Taco]

Had a fast moving thunder storm come thru just as I seen the runway, and don't know what happen lost all of FSX and 9. Trying to recover every thing now. Hope to be back flying soon.

[PRB]

:biggrin-new::biggrin-new: Hey Paul, delete the Duenna from the first flight, so I re-flew the bugger. JCB to GSP over those bloody mountains. lol.

Jim

Thanks Jim!

[Taco]

:encouragement: Hi there! I think and hope I have all the ducks in a row, going to give WABB to WA1A a go again. Hehe, even if it just looks like thunder storms, this fellow is pulling the plug on this here magic box.

Jim

[Willy]

I'm not ashamed to say it, but if a storm gets close, I shut down and pull the plug. I lost a PC about 18 years ago from it.

[Taco]

:wiggle:Just :wiggle:wiggling for joy! hehe, landed at Wa1a. A fine flight for a change.

[MM]

Hooray! Here's hoping that the dreaded FSX CTD bug has moved on to another host...

[Taco]

:wavey: I'm back! Hehe, out of town for a few days. Well any way here we go again. F6F from WA1A to WAMH.

[Taco]

My BAD! was on the phone and ran into a big mountain, will try again later this day.:encouragement:

[Taco]

:very_drunk: Landed with only fumes in the fuel tanks. hehe, but we made it. Landed at WAMH. Wow! one more to go!

[Taco]

:applause:Hot Dog, getting ready for the last part of this race, in my case, just a fun flight even with all the boo-boos me and FSX have done together. lol.

Leaving WAMH to RP17, and hopefully a safe landing.:biggrin-new:

[Taco]
