My first flight in the JS41 without the manual in front of me didn't end so well
I started at Nelson and was heading for Wellington preflight went alright and the weather forcast was for 8000 foot ceillings and no ice  After takeoff I headed for my crusing altitude of 7000 feet and the NS VOR   Then it was of to the BM NDB   Then it was time to cross the strait  The ceiling started to drop  and ice began to form   I could see Wellington  I turned onto approach the the engines caught fire  They never made it to Wellington

I think the Ice did something even though it had cleared of in that last screen and I think i bumped the condition lever. It only has to go under 96% and they will catch fire and I was already at 98%. -------------------- |

Presume this was far enough before landing that you hadn't got to the bit about putting them fully forward again ?

Really cool screenies, especially that last sunset above- wow!
I was in Nelson the other day and saw the Origin planes parked up all forgotten about, wonder if they'll ever fly in NZ again? -------------------- Intel Core i5-2400|8GB RAM|ATI Radeon HD 5750 (1GB)|1TB Seagate Barracuda|Windows 7 64 Bit|FSX Gold Edition|24" AOC Widescreen <<
