    X-Plane 12 is now available.

    The reviews showed much better detail in the background, like trees and grass. I know that doesn't seem like much in a flight sim, but the difference between 11 and 12 was noticeable in the video. Sometimes I buy software upgrades not for this version, but for the next. IOW kick 'em some...

    Do landings just click one day?

    The day when you stop trying to land the airplane and decide that you should just fly the airplane close to the ground let it stop flying when it wants to.

    X-Plane 12 is now available.

    The video reviews were largely positive. It's still a weak sister compared to its resplendent sister, MSFS. But 11 does what I need, and I will probably get 12 tonight.

    Why chock the wheels when in a hangar?

    The floor of my hangar is asphalt. The tires settle in after a while. There is a depression where the mains used to be. I cannot move the plane out of the hangar by myself without the gas powered tug if the mains drift into the depressions. Chocks make sure the wheels stop at exactly the same...

    This crash will have consequences.

    Respectfully disagree. Journalism, at least as it was practiced, involved obtaining multiple sources or other confirmation of what was being reported. The point being that the reporter or investigator would do the leg work that that reader was not equipped to do, and report the findings. Of...

    This crash will have consequences.

    There are two aspects to this discussion. The first is the selection of the articles to be published, and the second is the accuracy of what is published. I don't really care about the first, since I can go to the other side and see the news they have decided to publish. What is very...

    Float plane down in Mutiny Bay, Washington State

    I would think the only bird strike capable of taking down a plane like that would be a direct hit on the windscreen and the pilot. I would also think that a bird taking that route would be seagull sashimi before it hit the windscreen.

    You admit that the opinion you cited does not support your position in the least. It is totally inapposite. In fact, it was misleading to cite that case for the proposition you were making. The forum equivalent of -- biased journalism! Let's wait to see the discovery.

    The magic of the First Amendment. Sorry you're not a fan.

    This crash will have consequences.

    Doesn't hold a candle to the fraud the rest of the media promulgated for the last years. And citing a denial of a motion to dismiss in state court? For shame... The supposed "facts" in that opinion are just the allegations made in the complaint. You do understand, don't you, that nothing in...

    This crash will have consequences.

    Please tell me a public news source that is without bias? We have what were major news organizations just making things up in the last few years. I don't think Newsmax has gone that far.

    Trent Palmer (YouTuber Bush Pilot Channel) Suspended By FAA

    I don't remember the details. I just remember reading the synopsis and thinking that the NASA form should keep him from being punished. They really didn't like the guy, so the form was meaningless.

    Cirrus down in Texas

    Nope. I didn't believe it either, but I've seen ASDB traces that showed AP function.

    Trent Palmer (YouTuber Bush Pilot Channel) Suspended By FAA

    The NASA report does not immunize you if they want to get you. There has been at least one instance of an incident which I believe was not shown to be intentional, and the FAA initiated a certificate action. Airman defended, and showed that a NASA form was filed. FAA said we don't care. ALJ...

    Celebrity Pilots

    Didn't say so. I was responding to the post about "green woman" as being less crass than the earlier description.

    Celebrity Pilots

    Much of the country can't define what a "woman" is. So I get the description. But even that is not inclusive enough.
