These discussions are very, very interesting! I had a look at the FOC webside and the prog looks great, being made by a swiss german it is, no doubt, very zolid and zerious!!! But, it is not cheap, the subscriptions are costly too... now you are talking about the printers... is it really worth all t...

3h later... I did install the package and it seems to work very well, not tested in flight yet.

Friday 20/03: package tested in flight and working very well, it is really great! again, thanks Robert

I just installed the F1- Dreamflet B727, a great machine, indeed! The installation of the INS is well documented in the manual but unfortunately the pdf is protected and it is not possible to cut and paste the lines to be added to the panel.cfg file.

Well done!

Yesterday, I flew from KWRI to ETAR, accross the ocean I was in a tail jetstream of 120kts which gave me a steady GS of 615 NM with an airspeed of .848...

Me too got the auto bid despite my earlier bidding

Welcome Ralf! and good luck Ross!
Ross it is about time you concentrate your efforts on learning to fly the real one, now

Bryan is right, it happened to me during this PHNL flight and many other times accross the Atlantic. I briefly searched the Dawson's forum but could not find anything, any idea anyone?

Luc

Very interesting explanation of re-releases! By the way, have we heard of Justin or is he swimming in the Indian ocean???

Congratulations! more than 8,000NM is really an achievement, well done!

Cheers
Luc
