Yep .. with only three active station across the NZ .. all these program are really only a weather "tit-tilator" - just makes the clouds look prettier /winkyy.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= ;) border= 0 alt= winkyy.gif />

Mentioning Ashburton, there was talk about bringing a Jaguar, be interesting if that come to anything, after all they were able to dig up the old GR3.

QUOTE (cowpatz @ Jul 24 2014,8:59 AM) Owen it really depends how deep into the planning process you really want to go. Simbrief is pretty much a freeware equivalent to PFPX - Professional Flight Planner X . Here you can calculate EDTO range circles and fuel as well as alternate reserves and contingency fuel. It can use real world winds and nav data. You can also apply a sort of "performance deterioration allowance" correction in the drop down selections. In RW aircraft this is used to apply a correction to flight planning book figures due to inservice deterioration such as...

Yeah there was a cluster of them Google Loons heading North East last week.

I picked up the Milviz 737-200 and it's excellent. Would be great to trip around NZ in a traditional livery of some kind. Does anyone know a source as I've checked out the usual suspects? Thanks Jay

Sorta consider exciting , all postings here

QUOTE (cowpatz @ Jul 2 2014,1:39 PM) Is the Computer Pilot magazine still being produced? I placed a subscription with them ages ago and have yet to receive one magazine. The website seems functional and it will certainly take your money, but I cannot access any of the latest online magazines. What is available is very dated. I have emailed their support department twice but have yet to get any reply. Can't say I have heard of this mag but I get PC Pilot on subscription from the UK and that is incredible value for money, if you aren't familiar with it, check it out on line...

QUOTE (FS2Crew @ Jul 8 2014,10:57 PM) If you want to learn more about FS2Crew, your best bet is to do a YouTube search for FS2Crew videos. There are hundreds of them. Ah, I'm guessing that this is a cameo appearance from the developer himself

Ok, now I have run into something extremely annoying. I got the waypoints for the approach into the PMDG737 FMC, But, they are not displayed in the correct place on the map. All of them are too far to the north. but are in the correct pattern

QUOTE (toprob @ Jun 28 2014,10:12 AM) you could see the subscribers as my employers, paying me a salary between them. So really, they have a lot of say in the work I do... But I do get the right to complain about the working conditions! Haha, perfect !!!

QUOTE (Kahu @ Jun 26 2014,5:17 PM) It is the best blacky any flight sim has to offer One thing I did notice was a looksie into into the dark side off the X-15 ... so for the one really wants to try something different it is worth looking into.

I have found the payware planes very good for training (PMDG 737 for IFR, RNAV) (PA38 FOR VFR circuits) No offense, but Rod Machado took me through a very patchy PPL Syllabus. LOL yeah patchy would describe it. But, better than none. When I started my PPL I used the book - Ken Fenwick home study course. Seemed to be great, it may be a bit dated now but still very good. Same as this one. You may pick one up here or there = Good luck /smile.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :) border= 0 alt= smile.gif />

Ardypilot, Whilst it does look as if your GPS is programmed correctly and indeed indicating in Degrees True, I think the actual problem you might be experiencing may be due to UNTAT being mislocated - might pay to check the coordinates! The reason I say this is because from RW20 out to 1000', the track of 198 Magnetic is correct for the RNAV 20 approach - one I'm fairly familiar with, having completed an MEIR on it not 2 weeks ago! Just a thought, as it does seem correct (the tracking) through the Missed Approach sequence........ Cheers!
