Ha, of course! Forgot about those bad boys!

Barajas scenery looks cool. You should see the afcad I had...dear god...houses on parking ramps...an IB 346 INSIDE a building...it did look hilarious though with it 's head poppin out watching everything else taxi past.

I'm curious...do you use the one LX Airbus all the time or are you working your way through all the reg's? And are they IFDG or Project Airbus? I'm an IFDG gal meself.

I have all the registrations for the A319s A320s and A321s and I use whichever reg is operating the flight I recreate on the sim... all thanks to the Zurich Airport website.

But as of lately all the flights I want to do are mostly operated by A320s LOL.

I use the ProjectAirbus A319 and A320 and Overland for the A321, I hope ProjectAirbus makes an A321 soon!

Well it was quite a bit of work installing the model, panel & gauges, sound pack etc...but it was worth it! Especially the sound package - those Rollers sound AWESOME. Anyway, for a bit of a challenge I decided to try and fly the Tristar out of Aspen, CO and head over to Bozeman MT.

Here's the panel I installed:

Thanks for the kind comments! I should get hold of a recording of that fanfare and stick it on an annoucement panel gauge

However, I may have messed up and gave FR another charge option...sorry guys!

Also, the sky and lighting (plus clouds) are all down to REX for FS9

For that flight I used:
PMDG 737-800W
Eiresim Shannon
Aerosoft's Hahn.

The environment addons I use are:
REX
Ground Environment
Ultimate Terrain USA + Europe
ActiveSky

Also can someone explain something for a very confused me.
I was looking in my scenery library, and I noticed directly after where the installer put UT USA...an entry for UT Alaska/Canada was in there. I haven't flew to Canada or Alaska since installing UT, so I haven't checked it out just yet.
If it is there, unless it's a freebie with it...then i'll need to contact Flight1 and let them know. I don't want something I haven't paid for obviously.

Headed out from BUD to TXL for a night stop, before a short hop to FRA then onto JFK tomorrow

So I took the little Fokker out for a spin anyhow.

On the ramp awaiting pax.

Climbing out...the turbulence has just started (and doesn't let up until final approach....)

Cruising at FL320 about 30mins out of TXL.

Configured for finals. The great terminal of Tempelhof in the distance.

Touchdown on 26L 10mins early.

The airbridge remains in it's original place, so it's the tarmac for the pax. That guy gets around though doesn't he

I'll try. However FS crashed at LIS after around 5 minutes setting up the flight on the FMS etc. Not sure what's going on, but I think this routing is a bad omen. I'll probably swap to LHR and fly to ATL with a DL763/777 or something. I'll just have to see what happens.

However, the CTD at LIS I think is an issue with the CS 757. I don't really like it too much anyway...so i'll hold off on the pocket rocket until I get the QW 757.
