I haven't actually come across any mistakes in FS9 yet...

But I do know that everything starts going crazy when you are flying in Antarctica!

That's right! I want M$ to send a hitman to my house, in the middle of he night, and kill me! Slowly I might add (if I died in the ensuing fire, not the actual crash itself) And if I was only injured in the crash, to seriously hurt me!

"IT: The weather should also allow for hurricane conditions. I love to fly around in hurricane-force winds."

I flew with realworld weather when the hurricane was hitting Miami and I couldn't hold a Learjet in the air or steady for more than ten seconds.

I set the wind as high as it would go, and put my aircraft on short final. I think it was a C172. Lets just say that that hitman would have had something to do... :-/ :-/ :-/ ::) ;D ;D

I set the wind to 40mph and flew straight into it with the hummelbird at full power... I had never seen an airplane hover before.

if you set wind even stronger, you just might make pretty much anything fly without power at all (lots of fun actually... ;D) try to control the plane... maybe even LAND IN REVERSE!!!

i gotta try that!

I've made a 172 hover in a 40knt wind


In real life, it was pretty fun, ATC was stumped ::)

ok i did it... ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D;

i put a cessna 185 on the runway and spun it around 180 degrees...

then i added an 85 knot wind right against the poor cessna

without any engines on it started flying backwards... i then realized it was gaining backwards speed so i turned the engines on and thrusted forward to cancel the movement...

and it just hung there... hovering 15 feet over the runway...

i cut some of the throttle and let it slide back the enrtire lenght of the runway and landed it tail first at the other end

lots and lots of fun ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

c ya

You can probably do it with FSSC. If you can give me the hole's co-ordinates, I'll do it for you.

LAT-LON of aircraft in last image (m77_007)
is
N33 46.29
W93 56.32

(for those like me who don't see to good)

The lake (or half of it) with the deep hole is Milwood Lake and just south of M77 (Howard County).  I can't remember if the Lat/Lon in the other post is the lake or the airport.

There is another hole in eastern Oklahoma (poteau or Sallisaw, can't remember) that isn't as deep but it just happens to be under the airport.  So if you taxi off the runway or taxiway, better get ready to fly again or at least be trimmed for a good glide.

Screen captures of the big hole in Arkansas (not Clinton).  Now it's off to Oklahoma to find the floating airport!!
