Blimey...!

Just look at those dark brown bits on the relief map..!!!

That means that the "hills" are VERY HIGH UP!... :o...!

Looks like my trusty Beech Baron is going to get it's work cut-out to safely navigate the "dark brown bits".. :o...!

Putting some very high octane fuel into my tanks for the test... ;)...!

Paul...G-BPLF... 8-)...!

FS Nav Flight Plan filed... :)...!

High altitude, warm underwear donned...;)...!

Ooh, I love big dark brown bits. Chocolate, certain parts of Lady Crashalot......... Anywho, the Baron is fully fuelled and every extra weight is thrown overboard, so it's only me and my sixpack of Heineken.

Crash ;)

I'll be there. ;D. Would it be okay to do my pitts demo at the last airport? I tried to show it to YMMB yesterday but I had to go before he got there.

I'll hopefully be there, food notwithstanding!, in my Baron, could take some doing!!!!. It must be high, for Fs to set my cruise altitude as 21,500ft

For me, SPPA is a bleedin' DEEP HOLE in the ground!... :o...!

(No way it can be flown out of....except by one of those "Helicopter" thingies!).

Paul...G-BPLF...Beech Baron 58.... 8-)...!

FS Global and VOZ... ;)...!

Just tried it with the baron and no problem to fly out. Just take a long run from way back and apply full throttle on the parkbrake to built up some pressure.....

Crash ;)

When does it start? 3:30 central time right?

Edit: Yup. I'm -6 GMT. I probably won't be there due to my science fair experiment :'( Good luck with the server and have a nice flight. :)

I never noticed a server crash. Just saw MrJake and Paul go offline. Paul came back after two minutes....

Crash ;)

I had to pull out as my engines gave up the ghost, and wouldnt restart, no matter what i tried, simply must have been the Alt, as i had plenty enough fuel and all the controls were correct, no abnormal readings. How odd
