This isn't about flight sim, but I figured it would be better in this forum than any other.. As it is regarding a Ryanair 737-800 and will get the most appropriate replies!
First off let me start by saying the captains for both legs (EGSS-LERS and LERS-EGSS) where complete and utter idiots.. They rambled on about lots of useless information etc..
Coming home today was funny, the pilot was chatting rubbish about "Oh when I drop you off in Stansted im going to Riga and my flight route there is BLEH" - Everybody was like why the hell are you telling us that? - The thing that cracked me up was "Oh the weather for stansted is err well I don't know because when we took off a few hours ago it was dark and we couldn't really see what we was doing so I don't know!" - Errr, press a few buttons and tell us?!?! - He then told us to look to the right hand side to see a Airbus Beluga 2000ft below us, err we don't want to see it?!?!?!?!?!? - Then he did the most pathetic, chavish announcement "We're enterin' LUnduNZ airspace, and ATC wanna chat to me so yea I'm gonna havva go now we land in 25 minutes.. Cheers bye" - It was just so ughhhhh!
Takeoff Video from Stansted - Recorded on phone so not fantastic quality, but just look at that Runway shot about 5 seconds into it! ;) (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=MwlDlLgsSbg)
Landing in Barcelona Reus with cumulonimbus cloud! - Fantasticccccccc! (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=oOLs_cXTbv8)

thanks, ill try it tonight <3
So, I got home and installed FS2004. I have a question. Are most people here using FS2004? Because the graphics were absolute crap! I turned everything up to maximum, and it was awful. Admittedly, I was flying in Australia, so it might have been due to that, but still, very jagged.
Also, is there anyway I can make the cockpit instrument panel smaller? It's all huge and pixelated at the moment, and I'd prefer to be able to see more out of the cockpit window.
Favourtism
15-11-2007, 08:47 AM
Admittedly I have never played this game, however in my opinion games are about game play and not so much graphics thus meaning that if it has good game play and it's fun it shouldn't matter about graphics. Or maybe you have a low Graphics Card etc?
I hope you enjoy it.
I've got a 256MB graphics card, and it only requires 64MB, so I don't think there's a problem there... :S
Adam!
15-11-2007, 09:58 AM
Can you show us a screenshot?
I'm assuming it's really pixelated and hard to see from what you explained...
I don't get the best graphics but at least I can see!
It's not 'hard to see', but judging from a lot of screenshots I've seen on these boards, I'm assuming somethings up.
It's not letting me screenshot for some reason - I try copying contents of clipboard into Paint.NET and it throws up a file corruption error. Is there an in-game screenshot utility?

Could you?
STORY
You are on a plane (you choose, reply with which planes). The pilots suddenly become incapacitated and can no longer fly the aircraft. You are the only one on board who knows how to fly, with little experience.
Could you land the plane?
I guess I could of it was a Cessna, with help.
No chance with a bigger aircraft, although I could definitely help other people fly it.

I may be able to, like 2/10 chance lol. As long as the FMC is setup and they have airport charts Im pretty sure I could declare a mayday and then use ILS to land a 767 lmao.
Its SO easy to land small prop planes though =/ Flight sim makes it harder than it is irl
If I couldn't set the ILS up, im sure an Engineer at ATC could walk me through it :P
This is weird cos the other day I was thinking of the headlines:
"Boy, 14 lands full 767 Passenger Plane"

I would just go on to ATC and declare a mayday, stating the problem.. Ask for vectors to the ILS at an airport and then proberbly get it on the ground without too many problems!

Hey, I know i must sound silly, but what are the thing i should learn to do at the start, to get good. Like what stages do i need to do xD
sorry for the noobness<3
Ah, I wouldn't know what to do. I'd be blabbering to atc like "ye tell mi where to go"
What are:
QNH
Millibars
Threshold
QSD??

16-11-2007, 05:11 PM
QNH is a Q code. It is a pressure setting used by pilots, air traffic control (ATC) and low frequency weather beacons to refer to the barometric altimeter setting which will cause the altimeter to read altitude above mean sea level within a certain defined region. ...
Millibars is a unit of atmospheric pressure. Other possible units of pressure used by scientists are inches of Mercury, and torr.
Threshold is the beginnign on the rwy where the yellow arrows are I think
dno what qsd is

lol Mattthose first two are so copied of wikipedia.
3. Threshold is the white arrows where you can't land but infact takeoff. The yellow arrows are jetpads Matt. :]
Ok, I really didn't get the first two definitions Matt :]

vectors are headings given to you to turn for example to an ILS approach for a runway

bit of a short final then ? if your decending to 2500ft
Intercept altitude for the ILS at Stansted is 2500ft :)

16-11-2007, 05:57 PM
Vectors are radar headings that are given to an aircraft when air traffic control are wanting them to fly another way to whats programmed into the aircraft.
Note a radar heading is not a true magnetic heading.
Intercept altitude for the ILS at Stansted is 2500ft :)
not what ive been given last time i flew in their i was given 3000ft

I'm sure I would take control if there was nobody else onboard that could fly :)
Of course I would let anybody else takeover if they knew what they was doing! - If I randomer wanted to take control, I'd ask a complicated question and if they knew the answer happily let them do it.. If they didn't know and I did, laugh at them! :p

YEYE if theres snakes on the plane loll
If u watched Snakes on a Plane.
That black dude goes I have (sommet like 3000 flying hours) ill land the plane.
Whens hes getting ready on final approach he says to his mate next to him im so gna be better than my brother now!11 coz he always has a higher score than me on the ps2.
His friend goes "WHAT? You fly on the ps2?! " den says get out of the seat.
He landz it and goes hahah **** my brother i am well better than him now lol
soz for the story got to m
Anyways, If that was the situation all pilots out and knowone else on board. They'd have to let the person with the most experience on a game. I'd say no matter the age aslong someone can help them with some controls.
Because pilots can't tell a older person with no experience what to do... Plus you'd be more confident if you played it on a game.

I'm using FS9. I'm currently in-flight to China. Problem is my Squawkbox window has vanished but I'm still connected, I tried a few things to get it back up but nothing has worked. Got any ideas?

You can't. Got to download this program, fill out the info and it records it. I also have to fly Thomson aircraft, which a 744 isn't =]

As in 2004? :( :( :( How come your graphics are so good? I'm on 256MB card (should be fine), and I've got everything turned up high, but nothing is as good as that!

You don't land them on runways. You land them at Aerodromes, such as Barton. (City Airport Manchester, these days)
