Simple Insanity / Exclusive Review Of FSX Version Of Freeware Dash 7

« on: March 08, 2019, 09:55:20 AM »

Shaom and greetings all my pals,

Allow me to present very exclusive review of freeware FSX Port-over de Havilland Dash 7 year model base designed by Milton Shupe, panel by Scott Thomas, textures by Mike Kelly, flight models by Bernt Stolle and Tom Falley, and sounds by Nigel Richards using the flight from BIAR Akureyri Airport located 1.9 miles south of the town center of Akureyri, Iceland to BIRK Reykjavík Airport located 1.2 miles from from the city centre of Reykjavík which the capital of Iceland.

Many thanks to the famous Dash 7 model base inventor Milton Shupe for giving me plenty of assistance and advice how to prepare my first flight within Iceland abroad Dash 7

Here is my beautiful office of Dash 7!!

Check out the cargo and passenger sections awaiting for load up of cargo and passengers!

Read the important rules

The seat is COMFY!!!!!

At the passenger apron of Akureyri Airport (brrrrrr very cold)

Check out cool loading of cargo and passengers!!

Engines started and turning on all required lights. I would like to let all of you know about special different method that Dash 7 is using that all other planes never use which is always to have spoiler flaps fully deployed upwards during taxi to runway or from runway. According to exclusive statement from the Dash 7 model inventor Shupe, he said "According to real world Dash 7 pilots on all the Dash 7 projects, the spoilers were usually up for taxi operations, and they would take active when they were up causing ATC's much heartburn. Once you apply throttle greater than 50-60% (if I recall correctly), they auto-retract in the RW and with this model as well."

If you do not feel comfortable leaving spoliers upward or you are afraid you would forget to retract them before take off, you can use on the cockpit panel to switch flip the level from taxi to flight before starting to taxi and there will be digital lightened announcement on the panel that says "UNLOCKED SPOLIERS". And it retracts the spoiler flaps!!!

Starting the engines of Dash 7 is similiar to starting engines of Lockheed Electra

After take off from runway 19 now airborne on climb to 14,000 ft with background view of hills of Park Kjarnaskogur

Leaving background view of the airport, its city, and its bay called Eyjafjordur

Still on climb and the Dash 7 model base has beautiful smooth take off and climb without any problem

Check out beautiful cockpit

Making sure all passengers are very comfy

Checking all gauges to be sure everything is okay and on correct route called NB1A NB G4 REKVA TIBRA

Beautiful view of engines as well as a tiny town in middle of nowhere in Iceland (wondering how they survive and live in such conditions)

Nice tail!!!

Cruising at FL140 past few Icelandic towns

Look at moon

More Icelandic towns

I thought I was hallucinating when I actually saw the pilots' heads moving and turning sideways during my first Dash 7 flight. When asked Dash 7 modeller Shupe about this, he replied "Yes, the pilots are animated in your version." meaning that it is first time that a freeware add on plane features pilots' sideway moving heads!!!

Cruising

Nice sunrise

Time to descent!!

Entering clouds to pass through during descent

Making left turn to get ready for final runway approach to runway 13

Heading to Iceland's capital city where you can see street lights ahead

Passing high hill of Golfklúbbur - Seltjarnarnes where you can see road called Sudurstrond

On final approach to runway 13 with nice view of sunrise

Check out entire city landscape of the capital of Iceland

Yes Dash 7 has weird helicopter style runway approach which is normal

I am sorry that I am unable to find on Google maps the identity of this pyramid building but any Icelandic resident can tell you name of that building

Getting closer to runway 13

Seconds before touchdown (look at the pilot turning his face toward airport spotting photographers to say hello to them)

TOUCHDOWN

Here is BEAUTY PART and IRREFUTABLE PROOF of Dash 7's AMAZING ability to stop very very very short after landing (look at the distance from beginning of runway to distance of the plane exiting from runway)

Taxiing to gate (look at spoilers remaining deployed upward)

Arriving at passenger apron

Simple Insanity / YS-11 In Action

« on: January 23, 2019, 08:59:46 AM »

Shalom and greetings all my pals,

Here is interesting history about Air Caribbean airline!!! This airline based in Trinidad lasted about 7 years of operation from 1993 to 2000 serving home base for flights to Tobago, Barbados, Grenada, Guyana, and Miami as well as handling many charter flights. The airline used YS-11 and 737-200. The airline was direct competitor of mighty and bigger BWIA for those routes. Air Caribbean was doing well with about seven units of YS-11 until it made mistake buying fuel hog 737-200s without hush kits which ultimately drove the airline to bankruptcy.

Here is a nice whole day of office work abroad Air Caribbean YS-11 from TVSC Canouan Airport located on the island of Canouan in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines to TTPP Piarco International Airport located in Piarco 16 miles east of Port of Spain's central business district in Trinidad to TTCP A.N.R. Robinson International Airport formerly known as Crown Point International Airport located 6.8 miles from the capital Scarborough on the next door island of Tobago.

« on: January 13, 2019, 09:32:54 AM »

Shalom and greetings all my pals,

Presenting a nice Lockheed C-130E flight from PAFA Fairbanks International Airport located three miles southwest of the central business district of Fairbanks, Alaska to CYDA Dawson City Airport located 8 nautical miles east of Dawson City, Yukon, Canada.

CYDA Dawson City airport is TOTALLY impossible to land UNLESS all of you tell me that Microsoft built that airport in wrong way for FSX.

Airborne on climb to FL190 after my first Captain Sims C-130 take off from PAFA runway 02L for my first payware C-130 flight

Still climbing

Now cruising at FL190

Beautiful three color tone winter sky

Here is my new office!! (yeah four red lights in overhead panel is making me nervous)

On final runway approach to runway 03 for SECOND attempt to land on that airport which turns out to be totally impossible to land on EITHER side of runway!!

Yeah little dive is required to make successful landing on that extremely difficult airport

Seconds before touchdown

TOUCHDOWN

Braking down (good thing that C-130 has outstanding extremely short runway performance since I had landed in middle of runway)

Parked with marvelous view of winter sky

Thank you for viewing. Stay tuned for next exciting flight.

General Discussion / What Website??????????

« on: December 03, 2018, 09:47:36 AM »

Shalom and greetings all my pals,

I have been flying on Vatsim for 10 years without problems and have been observing all rules and regulations without problems particularly the one regarding use of runway based in wind direction.

Unfortunately lately this month, I had seen bizarre unicom announcements indicating pilots' desire to land on runways that are contrary to winds' directions.

For two examples:

First example: the winds were 180 degrees for KDCA so I chose runway 19 using famous River 19 approach. However I saw on unicom other pilots indicating their intention to use runway 01. So I said on unicom "

Winds are 180 degrees so rwy 19is choice??". Their replies were "I am using website that tells me real world approach and landings of specific runways" OKAYYYYY I changed to rwy 01.

Second example: the winds were 110 for KSFO so I picked 10L and some Vatsim pilots also indicated same runway selection BUT other Vatsim pilots said runway 28R or 27L because they said "I am using website that tells me real life approach and landings of specific runways" and that erupted into arguments among Vatsim pilots on unicom (not me as I just shut my mouth up and changed to rwy 28R to keep everybody happy because pilots were screaming "follow real world runway selections" ).

So my question is what in the heck is the website that tells people which runways planes are using in real world that seem to be contrary to wind direction?

Thanks,

Aharon
