All I did was compress them to 150 or nearest, and upload them here. I didn't have to do any resizing to them.  ;)

8 pics at 150kb was a bit much though.

I thought it was an actual cockpit that he said he bought and turned into a sim when I skimmed over it... lol I'ts just amazing.

This is as close as it gets until... well... you get the real deal sims like that the military or corporate pilots train at. This is awesome!

Thanks! Most of it is real parts except for the shell. One piece of trim and the #4 eyebrow window is real.

This is what I use to fly it. PMDG has nothing on this.

Nice!

You do like the flight checklists and stuff like back in the airline then?

I use the quick checklists provided on a card with the manual. Most of the yellow manual is flight planning and performance tables and charts. The first flight of the day checklist is by far the longest. I don't run that one much unless I have a lot of time and a second pilot.

The bottom two are training manuals for the aircraft. You could literally pass your FE exam with these two books.

Thanks Rot. I had a nice flight into Linz yesterday and was following the STAR into the airport and then joined the localizer for 09.

Had everything dialed in correctly and was on speed and configured and never did get the GS to start my descent. I knew something was amiss somewhere so I paused the sim and brought up the FS chart to compare against my paper charts.

No GS on that end in FS! Localizer approach! Damn!  :o

Called the miss as I couldn't get it down safely fast enough and did a procedure turn using LNZ for the other end. I would have landed mid-field + on a 9,000' strip. I didn't feel too comfortable with that.

Need to start checking these real-world charts against the deficiencies in FS.  ;D

Neither one.

This is the Dreamfleet 727. Engine guages though, are by Richard Probst. The Dreamfleet engine stack would not integrate correctly into the panel file because of the way that it was coded.
