A long way from home... and in a time warp

WSSS Default FSX Scenery

Nice shots TH, where did you get the aircraft?

Those are incredible shots just a few questions though.

1. How does it perform at 31,000 being a 3000 HP piston driven airplane
2. Is it heavy of FPS
and 3. If you got the plane from simmarket are they still giving the expansion pack to the boeing 337 away?



Thanks I really like that plane

Thanks n7xlq1, it's the B-377 Stratocruiser from A2A Simulations:

You'll find some nice videos on that page as well.
The Aer Lingus textures are fictional available at Avsim.

Thanks Karl. FL310? I'm still trying to figure out how to get back to Ireland without refuelling let alone climbing to 310
I made the silly mistake of sacking my 1st Officer (he was spotted in Bugis Street last night) and realize now that I have to persuade him to come back.
Seriously, I have to spend more time studying the Pilot's Handbook. You can download it from A2A to get an idea what's involved. I did experience an FPS hit when I flew it for the first time but can't remember the details and probably have changed some of my settings in the meantime. I just did the take-off in the default PanAm livery (again at WSSS) thinking that might have caused the frame hit that time, but no, everything is pretty smooth now.

Thanks ya I heard this plane had a ceiling of 34,000 ft good luck getting a piston that high lean the mix

Looks like the turbocharger and supercharger are there to help with that problem.

I like it, I'm a fan of planes where you have to manage everything rather than a computer doing it for you. The C-130 is one of my favorite planes for exactly that reason... Glass cockpit? Pfah!!

I don't know in real life a glass panel is really nice

I was just browsing because i was bored and i found this , you traitor . Nice shots though!

...who me...? traitor...?

...and just what are you doing here mingling with the 'Upper Class' of the FS community?

There's just no hiding from you

Ahhhh so thats how it is huh? Well we can still dream.... and drool... my goodness that's a sweet aircraft!!! I've been watching the tutorials and I think this is one thing that makes me wish I could afford FSX and the technology it needs more than anything I've seen so far!

Hey Welsh (if you come back in... or up...) have you seen one of these out there for FS9 (can I say FS9 up here? )???

Once you reach your cruising altitude you need to adjust your fuel mixture from rich to lean. Adjust your prop pitch for the optimum RPM's and you'll find you burn alot less fuel.
